"I know, I know, it's lunacy."
He's so right. I could only stomach about 14 minutes of this lunacy though it's past my bedtime.
I mean he's the soft voice of pseudo-reason uttered by the putrid brain of conspiracy theories.

Remember when you 1st learned "The Truth"? Want to experience that tingle in a new way?
by Terry inyou can't unring a bell once rung.. you can't unknow nor can you forget being deceived, tricked, lied to and misled.. the truly awful aftershock of waking up to the 'truth about the truth' is the death of wonder,.
belief, and absolute certainty that you know what life is all about.
in fact, for most of us the path is the same.we begin investigating our foundational belief system.

Has anyone been outed by jw health care workers?
by purrpurr incarrying on from audespare thread.
i was wondering how common it is for a sinner/apostate to be outed by a babbling jw care worker?
say you went to your dr because you were pregnant and unmarried or wanting counseling for having to live a double life as a pretend jw... and a jw secretary at the drs office saw this on your file and went tattling to the elders?.

I maybe wrong about the book but I think it was in Franz's book Crisis of Conscience or perhaps In Search of Christian Freedom that mentioned a similar story to what you're saying. If I recall it was a woman who went to a clinic to obtain a medication for a sexually transmitted disease. The receptionist was a JW who recognized her and told the elders. The doctor could have been sued but the patient decided not to.
There was even a Watchtower that stated that if you knew of any wrongdoing you were obligated to report it to the elders even if it was against the law to do so.

First, see a general practitioner. They would know which specialist they can refer you to. -

Are the British authorities going to follow the methods of the Australian Commission by focusing on each institution like the Catholic church as well as the JWs?
Also, considering England's population being 3 times larger than Australia, I would guess that they would have about three times the number of cases (3,000) that Australia has.

Courtesy Towards Senior Bicyclists, or First Time Riding in 45 Years!
by compound complex ingreetings, fellow posters:.
i bought a nearly new 7-speed bicycle at a yard sale for $30 last weekend and took it out this morning on our paved local bicycle/walking trail.
the last time i rode was in my early- to mid- twenties when i used a bicycle to get to and from the kh for my pioneer service.

We all lose our sense of balance when we get old. This is what I ride:
Unlike other three wheelers a recumbent bike handles like a car. It could be easily accessorized with all the bells and whistles including a canopy to block sun and rain. It also stands out, making it a little safer than conventional bikes. It's a bit pricey though.

steve2,
BTW, in New Zealand, there is an increasing trend towards unigender restrooms so it is not an issue.
By unigender do you mean restrooms for more than one occupant?

45 Minute Bethel Video about Changes (downsizing) at Watchtower
by OnTheWayOut ini don't see this posted elsewhere, and i don't have the links besides this facebook one.. but here is a 45-minute long bethel talk about the changes at bethel including addressing the hard feelings of people who were given the axe.
basically, everything must change.
we gave remaining bethelites saturday off to do our bidding in "the field" and we give bethelites over 70 an extra day a week off (if you can find any such bethelites).

They will have to go on food stamps and find themselves a nice warm blanket or two to soften up the concrete sidewalk.
