A Worldwide Rally
by cornish ina rally against bullying cults.. one thing i remember reading in steve hassans book combating cult mind control is how much cults hate publicity ie having their dirty deeds out in the open.. i was thinking to myself what do people usually do to highlight some concern or make a protest,here in the uk one popular method is to do a march demonstration and hand a petition or something to the prime minister at ten downing street,would it not be great if ex members of jehovahs witnesses and sympathisers and possibly including ex members of other cults could get together and have a large rally in the nations capital,a point of contention could be destructive cults having charitable status or something but including issues like blood shunning,manipulation etc culminating in downing street,other countries could have similar simaltanious rallies in their capitals.it would probrably grab the medias attention.. are there enough of us?.
just a thought,mayby a little over the top!

Denial-A familiar story
by cornish inits amazing how many, after seeing the damning evidence of the video featuring bin laden talking about the attrocities,dismiss it as a doctored fake etc,they just cannot accept the possibility it might be true,it just seems like what ever evidence is presented it will be dissmissed as not to be trusted,just what would they accept as proof,nothing it seems.. havent we heard this all before somewhere?.
watchtower,un!

Merry Christmas substitute
by cornish inwhen i was a witness we would tell the public that although we didnt keep xmas or birthdays etc,we made up for it the rest of the year and even have special occasions for giving at other times.. well,the reality,for me as a kid,and my other brothers and sister was that we didnt cellebrate cristmas and didnt celebrate anything else so we went without,there were practically no times for giving or recieving .
how was it for you?

Witnesses of Jehovah?
by cornish ini have often wondered, those folk on that video witnesses of jehovah,its a few years since it was made,i wonder how the folk in the video are getting on.does anyone know them,do they visit here?
.
also i think it would be good if a new version was made more up to date with new stuff like the failed generation the un etc,i remeber when i was a witness about 5 months before i left someone who was not a jw lent me the video 'witnesses of jehovah,' and although i was a bit scared about watching it myself and another witness friend did actually get the courage to watch the video,and although there were some things of the video that i were dismisive of other thigs did reach us deep down inside and were part ot the contribution of myself and friends way out of the watchtower,also seeing clips of russel on video etc talking about the pyramids were new to me,im sure there are plenty of volunteers who would take part in a good documentary,updated.

JW's and Chronic Fatigue Syndrone!
by cornish inchronic fatigue syndrone, m e, yuppie flu.
.
i dont know if anyone else has noticed the alarming number of jws who claim to suffer from chronic fatigue syndrone,i mean hear in cornwall there tend to be several sufferers in every congregation,outside the jws out of the many people i know i dont know anyone,although there are obviosly many outside the jws who suffer this illness,percentage wise it seems that jws have a much,much larger occorance of the illness.. for example my brother in law has not worked and been living on invalidity benefits for more than 10 years since his mid twenties,his brother is also in the same boat, an m.e sufferer.. i wonder if anyone has looked into this a bit more?

Nothing positive to offer!
by cornish inthe biggest objection that most current borg members have to leaving is that even though there may be false and wrongs in their religion there is nothing better or nothing else which is positive that anyone else or anything else has to offer.
it seems that truth is not the primary criteria of most j w s even though they use the word truth in a completely habitual way, but they will not be shifted from a nice cosy illusion true or false, so how would you answer the objection that there is nothing positive to offer outside the watchtower?
how would you answer this in a direct and forthright way ?

A Quickie!
by cornish injust to say hello to all who vsit this forum.. i would love to tell my life story sometime but there is so much to say that i dont know where to begin,but a few things about myself.. i left the borg mindset in 1995 as i would not surrender to the emotional blackmail shunning teqniques,and was told i had basically dissasociated myself,even though my last words were 'i wanted to follow god and christ not a religion' an announcement was made that i had dissassociated myself from the christian congregation,cheek,eh!.
i was born into a jw family in 1962,and most of my immediate family see me as a filthy apostate because they are indoctrinated, my hobbies are horses,ham radio and the net,.
when i have a chance i hope to post more,cheers for now

Dissfellowshiped Watchtower
by cornish inas it was considered back in 1995 that due to not holding to the society's view of the literal generation of 1914,i had disasociated myself,now all jehovah,s witnesses dont believe this anymore,are they all appostate for rejecting this important truth,that i had apparently sinned so much in rejecting?????????
