does any one else have a small voice a the back of their head telling them every thing is going to be ok ?

and does any one else find this gets them into trouble ?

if you live in the uk you may recently have seen derren brown programme seance, where he showed the tricked used to convince people they where comunicating with the dead.

this friday he is doing another show called messiah where he show how people use mind control in religion.

hopefully it will be general enough not to be termed apostate, while still triggering the warning signs in a number of witnesses.

What first gave you doubts ?

2. experiences
we all know the big problems with the wts, but what was the first thing that made you realise there were problems with the organisation ?

with me it was realitivly small stuff like an 8 year old getting baptised and a comment my best mates made about another of our friends asking if we should be hanging round with her as she might be bad assciation (she had just been reproved, but they had been mates 20 years).. .

how ever the first time i ever thought something was really wrong was when i was about 11 and my grand farther died, and mu mum wouldn't go to the funeral, i remeber thinking that surely it was better to say good bye properly than worry about if the service was in a church.. .

DFing and The Data Protection Act.

2. experiences
i remeber hearing a couple of years back that if an organistion has any information held on you and you request to view it they have to show it to you.

has any one asked to see the information held on their dfing ?

also has any one asked for the infomation to be destroyed, which, i think the org would have to do as well.
