knocking newsletter update .

february 2006 .

there is much news to report about the documentary film knocking on .

Sorry my previous post got messed up. I don't understand why this video is being advertised here. It seems to me this is a video that is going to try to put the witnesses in a positive light. Show them as good guys who have expanded the field of medical science so that we can now have bloodless surgery. Yeah okay - one of their crazy practices has caused there to be some positives. But this group also believes there is going to be an armaggedon and everyone is going to die except them. They brainwash their children and isolate them from society and then shun them when their children wake up. What we need to show society is that this group is a cult that ruins peoples lives. Not make people see them as good jolly citizens. These good things witnesses have done for society is an absolutely ridiculous concept. This group that has so-called benefited society is waiting for the time when society is completeley destroyed. To praise them as overcoming nazi opposition as a victory for civil liberties and the right to have freedom of religion is crazy to me. Then why shouldn't we be praising suicide cults, where they kill themselves because an alien ship is coming down to take them away as a true victory for religious freedom. No the media and society ridicules them as crazies. But since JW's aren't going around commiting mass suicide but their real negative affects on people and society is more subtle a documetary like this comes out. It's not right.

"Ice", "Meth" Is this a problem in your town???

by ohiocowboy in

i moved to dallas a few months ago, and started hearing about a drug that i hadn't heard of before.

it is called "ice".

evidently, it is a methamphetamine, and extremely addictive.

Meth is an epidemic that is ravaging the united states. You wouldn't believe how many lives it is affecting. I lived with some recovering meth addicts in Portland. I believe when I was there Portland was at that time the meth capital, I couldn't go through downtown without being asked whether I was "looking" or not. Kids at 15, 16 look sickly and completely distraught. Meth kills. When I lived in Venice Beach a next door neighboor cooked his own meth he eventually died. Stay away from the shit. Jonathan

When I was 16 I was a pioneer and I was a very happy person. I loved it. But I believed I was helping people and doing a great work that meant something. I regret that that year was spent that way now. But Yeah I really loved it. Jonathan

Did you "cry" when the JW's elders Disfellowshipped or Disassociated you?

by booker-t in

my niece who is 19 and involved with a "married" man had to meet with her jw's elders last week.

she was terrified because the elders have told her time and time again to get rid of her "married" boyfriend but she refused.

she is head over heels in love with the guy.

rimbaudbunuel

I cried

I was browsing through some things on the internet and I came across this Post Cult Trauma Syndrome. I don't know how familiar everyone is with this term. This is the first time I had come across this syndrome and the symptoms correlate exactly to what I have been going through. Here is a link briefly describing it: http://www.refocus.org/postcult.html There are also other pages describing how you go through 3 different stages. The third being eventually acceptance and creating personal dreams. There is a lady in Australia who was a former witness who has a whole website, programs and some books I believe on the subject. I suffer from this syndrome. Was wondering if anyone else has heard of this or feel they suffer from it as well. Peace, Jonathan
