it has been brought up in one of the many enlightening posts here, but i wanted to just share what he said.. the co was speaking about how the org growth has somewhat tapered off and not seeing the large increases as before (too bad we don't have a talk about how many that have left!

) and that the org is now 7+mil active members (yes, he said active specifically).

If he said they now have 7 million, and if the kids came back, we'd have 14 million, he is saying that ONE HALF of all J.W.'s have left the cult.

That's pretty darn impressive!

the title is 'defiance'.

i think these brave jewish men and women defined the word.

Thanks, I definitely have to see this.

I heard stories of some Jewish guerillas fighing back in WW2, but sadly, most Jews just let things happen, because they believed that it would eventually all work out. They didn't believe the Nazi were going to exterminate them. Once they figured it out, they were already in the concentration camps.

Don't forget, in those days, there wasn't much in a way of fast communication, and most was considered rumors, not to be believed. The Nazi gradually took everything away from them. Did any of you see Schindler's list?

on projo.com there's an update on utopian reformists' (mario)'s ex-wife, who was declared mentally insane and committed to a mental facility as she was unfit to stand trial by reason of insanity.

she had set fire to her home, and tried to kill her two daughters in that fire, succeeding in one being lost.. i will try to put the link or page in this post.

if not, perhaps someone who is better at this than i am, could post the link for the older members to see, who knew of this story.

In case some of you that wanted to see this, missed it because of the weekend and Mothers day activities.

Lady Lee, I think Marina is living with her jw grandparents. I hear the grandfather is an elder in a local KH. I may find out more in a couple of months. I know people that frequent that hall. I'll give you an update when I hear something.

I haven't heard from Mario in a couple of years. Last I heard, he may be living in Italy, but that could only be a rumor.
