  tonight i was out having dinner with a friend/colleague i've known for five or six years.

  the conversation turned to religion: first religion in politics, then his general distaste for religion, and then his lack of a religious upbringing.

  there was a lull for a moment, and then i said "it was pretty much the reverse situation in my household.

  Where did 9/13 interview w/JR Brown come from?

  i'm listening to this mp3 recording of an interview with jr brown about the wt's child abuse policy right now which i found on watchtowernews.org.. how was this interview obtained, considering that brown wouldn't speak directly to dateline or panorama but only issued a video release?.

  just curious.

  for some reason i can't find anyone discussing this interview on the board--maybe i've overlooked a topic--and it seems pretty significant!.

  Do You Still Read Terrorist Thrillers?

  i was sorting through my bookshelves today and noticed that i had quite a few terrorist thrillers.. that is, books like the day of the jackal by frederick forsyth, black sunday by thomas harris, the fifth horseman by larry collins and rainbow six by tom clancy.. i'm wondering how other people feel.

  do you still read those books?

  or do you feel uncomfortable with them in the wake of the september 11 terrorist attacks?.

  rado vleugel pointed out on another thread that the current response to "do you shun former members?

  " on the jw-media.org site represents a more hardline viewpoint as far as treatment of disfellowshipped family members.

  once it said, "disfellowshipping does not sever family ties.

  Major holes in J.R. Brown's Panorama response

  1) brown states: "you have been told that here in the united states we have compiled a list of 23,720 names of child abusers.

  that is false.

  first of all, the total number of names in our records is considerably lower.
