by Biahi in
1. jw
2. experiences
i was six, not given any choice.

i remember being in the old kh, and my dad told me the brothers wanted to talk to me in the back...i was terrified.

i actually thought they knew i didn’t want to be a dub, my dad told them to just add me as a publisher, so no back room meeting.

daniel kokotajlo's new film apostasy has it's world premiere at the toronto international film festival in september 2017. apostasy.

family and faith come into conflict for two jehovah’s witness sisters in manchester, when one is condemned for fornication and the other pressured to shun her sibling.. this fresh, unadorned first feature from director dan kokotajlo carries an unmistakable note of authenticity from its very first scenes.

set in a jehovah's witness community in england, the film's strength and power lies in its directness.. apostasy depicts the growing rift in a family — a mother and two daughters — who are rigorously devoted to their religion.

anyone out there have an original edition of this book?.

because i'm trying to decide if i've lost my mind or have the worst memory ever.

in my early teens (mid 1970's) i read this book, and i always wanted to read it again; especially in the early '90's when things really started to bug me.

How often do you see the Witnesses out on the ministry?
by rory-ks in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i only ask because i hardly ever see them out on the ministry.

it is a very rare sighting to spot them actively engaged in the house to house ministry.

or out on the street work, in the marketplace, etc.. the other reason i ask is because they are constantly pictured as being on the preaching work.
