HELP needed from folks in UK, esp. in Scotland!
by WTS Archive in
1. jw
2. friends
tl;dr: if you live either in scotland or in other parts of uk and you don't mind traveling, you might be able to help a fellow ex-jw by being present during a courtcase where she alone has to face more than two dozens of jws who have ruined their business.

please contact me directly for details on when and where the court case will be held (i will know these details in few days probably).

Challenge to Creationists
by cofty in

2. beliefs
in response to the 37 threads in my evolution is a fact series - see bottom of op for links - perry posted a link to an article "44 reasons why evolution isn't true".. i offered him a challenge on the thread and by pm.

predictably he is totally ignoring it, so i am offering the challenge to any evolution-denier who thinks they have evidence to support their position.. please present one specific piece of evidence for creationism.. my task will be to refute it with evidence within 24 hours.. then i will present one piece of evidence for evolution and your challenge will be the same.. all posts must be as succinct as reasonably possible.

entirely in your own words, without copy-paste, videos or links.. please post your interest to take part and we will set it up before the first actual post in the exchange.

Shooting in the foot (homophobic video)
by Syme in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
with the newly released homophobic video by the wts, it gets clearer that those people can't stop shooting themselves in the foot.

they are already under examination and de facto trial by the australian committee; more and more people and officials in western democracies inquire into their abusive tactics and put them under the microscope, and what do they do?

they release a video which confirms those worries.

Angst and the Jehovah's Witness Mindset

2. beliefs
there is no typical jw personality type.. any of us who were in the religion for a number of years will remember all sorts of individuals.

there is as much variety among jws as there is in the general population.

some were arrogant and judgemental but others were humble and kindly.

I went to see my Dr about the blood card issue
by purrpurr in

2. medical
i booked a double appointment so that she wouldn't be rushed.

i explained that i'd been brought up in the jw's and woken up to what a load of shite it was.

i explained that they have changed the blood card and that the elders in the cong are being told to effectively force people into signing it.

This Week's New Yorker Magazine
by DNCall in
1. jw
2. experiences
the april 4th issue contains a very well-written and insightful article about the jws: "god's work" by kevin canty.

it's fiction, but on the money as far as the experience of an adolescent reconciling the beliefs with his natural biological urges.

boy, could i relate!

hi all.. so i got a txt today from a very proud mum claiming that, the jw cart produced 300 book and magazine placements.

mostly from foreign speakers.. the shard is the tallest building in the uk.

this is where the cart was placed.. not a bad day they had really.
