I thought this part was a real farce:
All proceeds go to international non-profit programs, disaster relief, literacy programs and education in 800 languages
literacy???? education????
wow...
has anyone else received this email?
"items priced to move, up to 80% off cost".
i'd post the email but i worry they put secret identifying marks on it somehow.

how has offending become the worst crime of the 21st century?
actually, forget being offensive, just telling the truth that may be uncomfortable or offensive.

You are offensive: You are the worst
You are a terrorist: Lets not hurt your feelings or anyone who shares your values
Regressive indeed.

Welcome my man. Hit me up anytime you are feeling discouraged and need someone to listen.

abuse is such a serious word and i'd hate to use it lightly so if anyone reading this has suffered physical or sexual abuse please know that i absolutely do not equate religious abuse with your suffering.
that being said, many of us were lied to and manipulated for decades.
this cultic 'abuse' has borne fruit in shattered relationships, broken families and estranged children.
It is an abusive organization, once we wake up though, I prefer to see myself as survivor instead of victim.
The universe is indifferent. There is no good and evil forces, just people making choices. Most violence in this world stems from fear and hate which these days is often fueled by religion.
we all gossip.
it is only human.
watchtower actually tries to instruct adherents not to gossip and it can land a jw in front of a judicial committee—some do try to follow this admonition.
Nothing travels faster than bad news in the org

it also shortly mentions the child abuse cover up scandal by jehovahs witnesses and compares that to catholic church (around 16:30 mark).
Love their vids
i was thinking about this because of the constant reminders we get in posts that we inactive non attenders have to be careful what we say to jw's, and what we do that they may learn about etc, if we don't wish to be before a j.c. the power they have is limited by what we give them.
now, i do not wish to be declared df'd of da'd, it would kill my old mum i think.. but i refuse to live my life looking over my shoulder, that, in my opinion, is giving them too much power.. i openly vote, i openly donate blood, i enjoy the odd cigar etc etc.. how much power do you allow them to have over you ?.
That I censor my speech around them, that's it. Its not really that hard to do.
