  Barbara Anderson is on NBC Nightly News Tonight 11/21/07

  2. child-abuse

  a producer with nbc in new york called within the past hour to tell me that the segment i interviewed for (once in nashville, tn in august and once in washington, dc in october) is set to air tonight on nbc nightly news with brian williams, that is, if no huge calamity takes place to bump the feature.

  this piece will be two minutes and 45 seconds long, the longest slot nightly news has for topics of interest, and will feature a discussion about the court documents that are found on the cd i recently produced, "secrets of pedophilia in an american religion, jehovah's witnesses in crisis.

  in addition, nbc's internet site, msn, will follow with a detailed story.

  Are there other religions that don't go to millitary service?

  the argument that jws are the only religion that doesn't go in military service is one i hear frequently.

  but is this really so does anyone know any other religion that doesn't go to war?

  perhaps the mormons?

  Does the GB believe the doctrine themselves?

  by GBSJG in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  after reading crisis of conscience i got the impression that most on the gb actually believe all the doctrine themselves or at least that they believe that they are doing there best and god is helping/blessing them.. this sometimes seems unbelievable to me considering that they know about all the bad things in the org and see so many problems that the rank file normally does not notice or know about.

  i'm currently reading combatting cult mind control by steve hassan.

  when reading that book i can see that there are some cults that are far worse then the jws.

  That feeling that it could al be false how did you experience it?

  by GBSJG in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when i started researching i was still convinced that jws had the truth.

  so i read some critical articles by ex-jws about certain teaching and i started to do some more research.. at this time i have successfully faded and no longer believe anymore.

  but i can remember the moment when i first allowed the thought in my mind that it could all be false and not the truth.

  Where do you see yourself in next 5 years??!!??

  by zagor in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well have some time so thought to write this.... i went today to uni to speak to my supervisor and he asked me a question that locked me in my chair for few milliseconds.

  he asked "where do you see yourself in next 5 years....and beyond that" then he went "... or better still imagine yourself in time 5 years from now, what would you like to have achieved?".

  though knowing full well what two 'things' i really wanted to have in my life more than anything i was really locked into this moment almost powerless, because his next question was that 'one inch' punch which blew me off as if struck my bruce lee himself, he asked "...and what are you doing now to make sure that really happens that way?".

  Major Bible scholar writes article on JW blood/organ transplant doctrine

  by Leolaia in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  i was just browsing the leiden university website which has a whole plethora of "open source" journal and monograph articles online written by biblical scholar h. j. de jonge.

  previously, i have read his work on the testaments of the twelve patriarchs, including his recent book on the christian provenance of this pseudepigraphal work.

  he is quite a seasoned scholar in the study of early christianity.

  They make mistakes just like 1st century christians did.

  by GBSJG in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i'm discussing problems i have with the wts with my family they often say well they make mistakes just like the early christians did, they are not perfect.. i try to argue that if you think that way you can go to any christian church and say the same.

  but usually they say that compared to other religions the wts makes less mistakes so you should go there.. i know that such reasoning doesn't make sense to me but what is a good response to this?.
