A disproportionate number of them are Anglo-Saxon in origin. No contest. That part was easy.
Has there been cases of racial discrimination in the organization? YES. That part was easy.
Did Jehovah have anything to do with it? That part is NOT easy.

Christianity - a thoroughly pagan religion
by Norm init is quite amusing to read watchtower publications where they with badly hidden scorn criticizes the catholics for willfully adopting pagan holidays and customs into christianity.. pagan beliefs christianized.
*** w84 4/1 p. 9 insight on the news *** in a.d. 601, pope gregory the first, known as gregory the great, issued an edict to his missionaries concerning the native beliefs and customs of the peoples he hoped to convert, states a recent issue of natural history magazine.
instead of trying to obliterate peoples customs and beliefs, the popes instructions were, use them.

It is a very hard thing to get substances (and activities!) under control.
Some think you have to go clean of everything, but I do not agree. You have to control or get rid of the problem substances.
I am glad you can be a responsible alcohol user.
This afternoon, I will tip one for you. -

The only apologist I won't bother is my mother, because she understands my basic reasons for leaving the organization.
She will never leave - "where else will I go?"-type.
Oh, well. -

What planted the seed of doubt that lead you to leave or think of leaving?
by NanaR ini've been thinking of this a lot lately.
the following experience ties my first doubt in with my present life.
as a backdrop to this, you should know that i was a 5th generation "raised in the truth" jw through my mother (her great-grandfather got "the truth" from pastor russell).

Disassociating oneself
by JWdaughter inwhat if: the elders announce that so-and-so has disassociated themselves from the borg, and the person who is being disassociated stands up and says, excuse me, i have done no such thing!.
isn't the religion announcing that a person has disassociated themselves like an employer stating that an employee quit when they didn't have any intent to do so?
isn't that an employers way of getting some technical legal way out of paying severance etc?
