:How many false prophets does it take to make an organization by mistake? Good question.
Yes GBL this is probably the better angle to look at the situation from!
I believe they condemn themselves through their own rigid and literal interpretation of text. The GB takes a zero tollerance to all other relgious organisations, but does nothing to critique itself and it's own structure. If they turned their same analysis on themselves they would clearly be able to identify their many flaws.

How many remember the 15 min break Between the Public Tlk and WT Study?
by Wasanelder Once inas kid i remember a break of 15 minutes between the public talk and the wt study.
all the new ones and "weak" ones ran out to smoke.
loved to see the attendant round them up to come back in when the droning began again.

Relgion in such societies in a cultural belief, continuing it's practice is a way of respecting your heritage and ancestors.
Religion gives tangible meaning, collective shared belief, and acceptance. Organised religion is all about social stratification, with many aspiring to fit into their position. In developing countries, such as India and West Africa relgious practices are very much intertwined with everyday life. People tend to hold on tightly to their beliefs to explain away their suffering, or hope of a better transmigrant future not wrought with the life they now have.

Double Standard?
by Bendrr injwd is the premier ex-jw site without a doubt.
simon, you've done one hell of a job in creating and maintaining a meeting and learning place for current, exiting, and long-gone dubs.
for that i salute you.. we can come here and speak our minds about the wts.

You are slamming a whole religion and culture and not criticising at all. Making comments like "Nuke Mecca" is not criticism - it's bigotry.
It is a relief to know that at least the moderators have a balanced and clear view on matters of a delicate and complex nature. If only Simon, you could moderate the thought processes of the narrow minded.

BEING SICK IS FOR THE RICH
by Dansk indear all,.
please allow me to vent off a little this morning.. as most of you will already know i have a rare form of cancer - mantle cell lymphoma - for which the prognosis is extremely poor (but there have been some people who have gone a good many years beyond the average).
i live in the uk where, not being a person of wealth, i depend heavily on the national health service (nhs).

yes Danks your comments are oh so true. Our Medicare system is more or less modelled off the NHS system in the UK...but we don't get dental:( Having said that though I worked for the Health Insurance Commission which operates the public pharamaceutical benefits scheme and know just how much the major drugs are subsidised, some of them are as much as a couple of hundred bucks of more. Something that has a buy price of $200 for instance might only cost me $3.40 on concession. You guys do get slogged harder for tax than we do, so you might expect the services to be better, of which with the NHS system I know full well they're not. Unfortunately, the public system doesn't have the $$ to recognise the value of alternative treatments such as the ones you are on. You're right though the system is far from egalitarian.
Wish you all the best with your recovery. I know what struggle it must be, but it sounds you are doing the best you can for yourself. Frog x
