That is so cool! We have a good population of Bald Eagles in the Pacific NW too. All I've ever seen is them flying around and their huge nests but never up close.

I can so relate to her feelings having experienced such similar behavior last year in regards to my father. I tried so hard just to see him even getting a plane ticket and losing a month of work to go down to Arizona and no..........exact same treatment. He died in the fall.
I was thinking that this is somewhat of a phenomena for psychologist to maybe study. It probably already has been but really.......since the crackdown by the organization started it's like all these R & F members have been hypnotized or drugged. I know it's a cult thing but it's gotten so extreme these last couple of years. What is the actual mechanism going on in the JW brain? I know that fear is a big reason. My dad had been talking to me before all this and then he got a terminal cancer diagnosis. My dad died to me months before he actually died. He just was not there (for me) anymore.
I really do hope more and more videos like this get out into the mainstream. What a documentary on cult behavior these could make!
And please...........moderators...........can you do something about the horrible comments this Amos guy is making? I too would hate for that beautiful woman to read his comments. We've been talking about the insensitivity of JW's and his comments are over the top insensitive.

The ten most embarrassing scriptures for Jehovah's Witnesses
by slimboyfat in1. mark 7:15 "there is nothing from outside a man that passes into him that can defile him; but the things that issue forth out of a man are the things that defile a man.. so how can eating black pudding or having a blood transfusion be a sin?.
2. roman 14:5 one [man] judges one day as above another; another [man] judges one day as others; let each one be convinced in his own mind.
so how come they say birthdays and festivals are a sin?.

This one was always an enigma to me until after I left the religion and read some of The Book of Enoch. It is definitely not a scripture that the GB wants anyone researching I'm sure! I couldn't find any word of it in the NWT index........had to google it.
2 Corinthians 12: 1 - 4
I have to boast. It is not beneficial; but I shall pass on to supernatural visions and revelations of [the] Lord. 2 I know a man in union with Christ who, fourteen years ago ~ whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know; God knows ~ was caught away as such to the third heaven. 3 Yes, I know such a man ~ whether in the body or apart from the body, I do not know, God knows ~ 4 that he was caught away into paradise and heard unutterable words which it is not lawful for a man to speak.
NWT
What?! Supernatural visions! Out of body experiences!!
The whole thing about 'boasting' about this also seemed strange EXCEPT for if The Book of Enoch was part of the sacred scriptures back then and the account of Enoch having almost the identical experience was common knowledge for most Jews.

I found 'peace of mind' finally when I left! The ONLY unhappiness I have experienced is directly related to the JW's.
I have lost my daughter and my only grandbaby because they have convinced my daughter that I am to be viewed as poisen and as mentally diseased. Last year I was denied the right to say goodbye to my dying father and to give him my last hugs because a psychopathic stepmother took full advantage of the Watchtower lies (above) and convinced my father that his eternal life would be at stake if he had anything to do with me. Because of their LIES my life has been affected negatively (as it was when I was in).
As for my life now..............I am doing what I was meant to be doing sharing my gifts and talents with others. Growing up (finally) into a responsible adult in my 40's (now in my 50's) and actually experiencing truly wonderful moments and learning how great it is to NOT be judgemental so that I have met some of the most incredible people I never would have met before. How is being kept perpetually DEPENDANT on an organization a HAPPY thing??? To finally GROW UP in midlife is an 'About Time' moment! Those of you who are getting out in your 20's and 30's have even more to be happy about
What liars they are (even though the R & F don't realize that they are lying to themselves)

Yesterday's WT Study par 17
by leaving_quietly ini marked down "research" next to this paragraph w13 1/15 p.11 par.
17), and have yet to do so fully.. "modern christians held in nazi concentration camps with possible death facing them were given repeated opportunities to gain their freedom by signing a declaration renouncing jehovah.".
was the declaration to renounce jehovah?

What I find interesting in this 'declaration' is that it states something that is absolutely TRUE.
That the IBSA is proclaiming erroneous teachings and under the cloak of religion.
DAMN! The third Reich got that right!
The rest of it..............a bit extreme. Kinda an exchange of one lunacy for another.

Was it Paul who wrote Galations?
What 'Jesus' suposedly wrote and what Paul writes years later..............bleh
Writings of men as I said.
How wordy those old dudes could be! Personally........I believe that there was a big Eastern influence of spiritual thought back then, Jesus words being so close to Buddha like words and all........so here we are! All that 'old covenant' stuff is just that............OLD.

H ebrews 8:7
7 For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another.
At first glance it seems to be saying that the first covenant had some problems and so a new one was sought ~ which just leads to the conclusion IMHO that the new one could be just as flawed as the old one and on and on it goes with covenants made by men (or women if that had been allowed ).
