No, because I left in 1984, years before I had Internet access. In that year I read Crisis of Conscience. After that I resigned as an elder and quietly left the Organization. By the way, does anyone remember the year that Al Gore invented the Internet?

Gas price in your area?
by JH inhere in quebec, ordinary unleaded is 94.4 cents a litre.
(that's the cheapest gas!!!).
there are 3.78 liters per american gallon, so this would give $3.57 a us gallon..... what's the price of gas in your area?

Evil SMURFS?
by marked inokay, what's the deal with the smurfs?
i've heard mention here and there about some 80s rumours regarding demonized smurfs (or something) that got jws in a panic.
i remember when i was a kid my aunt telling my mother about smurf dolls with blood on them walking around, i think.

Maybe the JWs got the Smurfs mixed up with Chucky, the evil doll who came to life in the film "Childs Play."

it's only 10 questions, please give it a go and see what you get!.
if you think it could make a decent anti-witnessing tool, i might dress it up with links to the quotes site and the watchtower site to prove the accuracy of the points made.. if you see any inaccuracies or misleading comments, please let me know.. url = http://www.thebentinel.com/jw-quiz.php (embedded below).

Yes, tailsin, I am a dues paying member of the American Civil Liberties Union. And I am sorry that because of persecution that you have to use "Theocratic War Stategy" to camouflage the country of your birth. But take courage, you are free of the Watch Tower.

Unfortunately I have never visited Mauritius, so I don't know what it is like to live in your country, tailsin. Do you have free elections with multiparty participation or is it a one party state? From what I gather from your posts your country lacks many of the freedoms that we Americans take for granted. Nevertheless, I hope that you have found a measure of freedom now that you are out of the Watch Tower. Best wishes.

Whether you agree or disagree with someone's opinions, once you begin suppressing freedom of speech, where does it stop? The laws that you use to suppress others can some day be used to suppress you.
