  Kids play with dragons, talking animals and cartoon characters

  Perhaps the WT's sequel will warn kiddies of the danger of watching cartoons/playing with 'talking animal' toys. It's an easy link to the 'talking serpent' - and we all know what happened to him, and those who listened to him. Come on WT, you can really steal ALL of childhood with a little more effort.

  I'd like to think every victim will come forward - would it bankrupt the Society ?

  .. the written policy of Watchtower New York, Inc., which instructed all Elders in Jehovah’s Witnesses

  Congregations in the United States to keep reports of child sex abusers within Jehovah’s Witnesses secret to

  avoid lawsuits.

  So they KNOW they are breaking the Law..?

  i have a lifelong buddy (g) who is now df'd ....doing great and happy.

  he has a nice boat.

  a while back he gets a call from a very well known elder who, of course, shuns him.. elder: "hi g. i know this is a little strange, but i don't know who else to call".

  Absolutely shameful behaviour. Not even a 'thank you' card..?

  Perhaps your friend should call 'elder' with an equally potentially life threatening scenario to see the response?

  magic as a "force" has been debunked.

  no sane person believes it is real.

  (except of course jehoobie - and it makes him real sad an' mean mad!).

  Judging by Blondie's post, JWs should steer well clear of museums then, as they are filled with relics of dubious background. Can't be too careful.

  The centenary of 1914. If many R&F JWs still think the generation of 1914 won't pass away its going to be a challenge to their confidence.

  Cheers Cofty

  ...you've reminded me of where, in Genesis, it states/suggests that man will not live beyond 120 years. I've long expected 2034 to be (yet ANOTHER) significant date.

  It's a great shame that Child Protection (Social Services) doesn't monitor material aimed at kids. This stuff (along with other dub stuff) should be approved by childcare professionals.

  I think that is good news. It means 2014 will be all the more significant.

  Remind me please Cofty..? So many 'significant' dates, sheesh, I can't keep up.

  Yep. They crunch anti-depressants like there is no tomorrow.

  Lol, you're not wrong. I recall reading somewhere of the high number of dubs on 'medication', and I totted up all the people I (personally)know/knew (both JW and non-JW) who are/were on long-term medication and the numbers were veryunbalanced. Bet you can guess which way..? lol

  (A thread on this would be interesting.)

  I knew a few people who swore they had demon attacks

  Yes...but since leaving the bOrg, I haven't met anyone who has experienced demons. But then, I knew/know more JWs with mental issues than non-JWs. Any connection do you think..?
