2. friends
i'm interested to know if anyone has been to see a medium/clairvoyant since leaving jw's.

i must admit now i can make my own choices i seem to have a fascination with it although haven't acted on it as a) am i just jumping into believing another load of rubbish?

and b) what if it really is the demons pretending to be loved ones!!

Sydney Morning Herald Headline about Compensation for Victims May Cause JW Organization to Gasp
by steve2 in
1. watchtower
2. child-abuse
geoffrey jackson's unfailingly diplomatic responses during friday's royal commission hearings have undoubtedly limited damage to the reputation of the jw organization - but i could never again imagine the watchtower and awake!

magazines criticizing other religions over their responses to child sexual abuse within their parishes.

too close for comfort.

This Year's Memorial
by TD in
1. jw
2. friends
perhaps i'm just getting older and crankier, but it really seems to me that the jw faith is deteriorating at an accelerated rate.. case in point: this year's memorial talk.

it was one of the most incoherent messes i've ever heard.

(and i've heard a lot of memorial talks over the last 50 years....).

Tsarnaev guilty - should he get death or not?
by Simon in
1. social
2. current
i think he probably will (it is the us after all) but i hope he doesn't.

he caused incredible pain and suffering to men, women and children who had never done anything to him.

many died in unimaginable agony, others are disabled for life.

The 50 Ways to Be Disfellowshipped
by Wild_Thing in
1. jw
2. friends
i was wondering ... what are all of the "official" reasons provided by elders for disfellowshipping someone?

i know the most common reasons are adultery and fornication, but what about the others?

a couple of years ago i traveled back to my hometown` and one of my old jw acquaintances told me that her grown son had been disfellowshipped for refusing to stop associating with another disfellowshipped person.

i don't know if any of you have seen the video posted by mike and kim regarding jw.org advertising on a thailand computer game review television show.

its interesting - check it out.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57nigmnim18.

the show is called game show social - i looked at a few of the videos and jw.org is on a lot of them.. at first i thought that it was a review of a jw.org app but when you look at other videos jw.org is on a lot of them as a sponsor as well as dell lg and others.. wgo..
