THE NEWS IS BIGGER THAN DATELINE, BBC, CBC, ETC.

by AndersonsInfo in

if i told you that something bigger is on the horizon than dateline, bbc, cbc, sunday (australia), and all other tv programs which exposed the sexual child abuse cover-up by watchtower in 2002-2003, would you believe me?

have i ever misled you?

i'll answer that--no!

The general public, I really don't think, really give a damn if some stupid JW refuses blood, or gets kicked out of the church.

They care when it's a child being refused blood.

Remember that the decision a Jehovahs Witness makes to refuse medical treatment is a matter of personal conscience.

But is that decision based on accurate informed consent. Could it be proved that many have been mis-informed and then coerced to refuse?

Can't wait to hear the actual news. This is rather exciting!!

Absolutely beautiful.

Very spiritual. I appreciated your commentary on the paths and doors. Those photos sure captured the mystere.

Visual perception

i came across this test of perception.

this is not a joke, nor one of those screaming videos which make your heart stop.

take the test... most likely 70-80% of you will answer incorrectly, showing your own likelihood of making mistakes.

I saw this on Dateline or some such news show about a year ago.

I counted so carefully and was amazed at the commentary afterward. I think I still have the show on tape somewhere in my collection.

Sister "I just have to comment all the time" had my thought...

by wanderlustguy in

i was thinking about how one of the cult tactics come into play in such a simple action, like commenting at the meetings.

don't know if it was the same everywhere, but at our hall, sometimes the wt study conductor would call on a couple of people in sequence, the first would give thier comment, then brother "i get to carry the microphone" would run over to the other, just for them to say "he, she had my thought".

just that statement "they had my thought" says so much now.

I have an Idea, why don't we have a mock watchtower study this sunday? Just for fun

I'll participate only if AlmostAtheist (Dave) writes the study article -Aude.

JWD Milestone coming close

by Lady Lee in

i have been watching the page counts for the last 2 months.. jwd is close to have 5000 pages of posts.

as of this post we are still 11 pages away from the 5000 mark (4989).

i bet simon never expected this to grow the way it has or become the wonderful resource and gathering place of so many who need the support and understanding of those who need it.. from active jws to ex-jws to doubting jws to ubms of jws and even the curious as well as the odd student wanting to write a paper jwd has been a great place to learn, get and give support and connect with others.
