  if you want to read up on the background of this, read this first:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/triple_crimethe convicts of this crime escaped from a high security prison in argentina because the guard, a jw, had no guns.here are the news sites that mention this:http://www.infobae.com/2015/12/28/1779500-fuga-los-hermanos-lanatta-el-guardia-del-porton-la-carcel-no-tenia-armas-porque-es-testigo-jehovahttp://www.perfil.com/politica/uno-de-los-guardiacarcelos-a-cargo-de-la-fuga-de-los-lanatta-no-usaba-armas-por-ser-testigo-de-jehova-20151228-0051.htmlhttp://www.diariolaprovinciasj.com/elpais/2015/12/29/datos-insolitos-fuga-hermanos-lanatta-schillaci-43690.htmlhttp://www.elintransigente.com/argentina/2015/12/28/triple-crimen-insolita-justificacion-guardiacarcel-arma-360553.htmli am copying part of the article and translating to english:triple crimen: la insolita justificacion del guardiacarcel sin armatriple crime: the unbelievable justification of the prison guard without a weapon.

  los hermanos lanatta y schilacci se fugaron del penal de alvear sin mayores resistenciasthe lanatta brothers and schilacci escaped from the alvear prison without major resistancebuenos aires.- pasan las horas y cada vez aparecen argumentos increibles para las serias medidas de seguridad que supone un penal de maxima detencion.

  ahora se filtro la insolita justificacion delguardiacarcel reducido por los condenados por eltriple crimen, los hermanos lanatta y victor schilacci, para fugarse de la carcel: no tenia armas porque es testigo de jeova y la religion le impide la portacion de las mismas.

  What can be said? It was absurd that he could be assigned to a position for which he would refuse to fulfill.

  Who lets this happen? How dare the witness even accept the job knowing full well he would deliver sub-par performance.

  Makes me angry.

  is there a way to stop the advertisement videos that play when i am reading a thread?.

  i don't remember this happening until this afternoon.

  there is no 'pause' or 'stop' button to grab so i can silence the video and it slows down my system.. i don't mind static ads but the videos create stress on my computer system - and me!.

  Experience from AJWRB's Facebook page

  interesting experience reported by this former jw on blood shows the deep and lasting impact of the wts campaign of indoctrination and misinformation.

  it also shows that people can be and are being helped.

  "hi everyone at ajwrb.

  It's so important to critically review the reality of blood transfusion and to logically debunk the org's directives.

  Best to do this BEFORE we find ourselves in a crisis situation.

  Thank you, Lee, for sharing this.

  Going Clear- Scientology- Movie made this year

  by truthlover in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  on tonight -- many of the leaders and co horts of david miscavidge on tonight who have left the organization.. it is scary how close they are to the jw's with the exception of the volcano episode and that we are "thetans",.... they hold out a carrot for each level of progression on the "ladder" - to immortality, telling all they will live forever in a peaceful, beautiful world- and of course, each step on the ladder means thousands of dollars and volunteers make 30 cents a day working on all their projects.

  they fought for tax exemption as a religious organization, started by hubbard, who at level 8- the highest on the ladder - tells his thetans they are out of a spaced out world -- it is terrifying -- and they are supposed to be able to read minds, levitate things, others in the org are scared of them.... but the org are buying properties all over the world as a benefit for their thetahs" to show their good works.to the irs - building a massive real estate empire with publishing and volunteer labour...... watch it if you can.... .

  sound familiar - .

  When in doubt, be kind. I believe it is an act of human kindness to reach out to a person who has lost someone in death.

  Let them know you are alive and doing well. And that you remember them fondly.
  

  Just don't let them guilt you into anything. Keep it kind and loving. Remember the love that was shown you.

  Hyacinth - Welcome to JWN~! I'm glad you found us and even gladder to hear a bit of your story.
  

  .

  I had an experience that played a very small roll in my awakening when I was pioneering. After about a year of regular pioneering, a friend/coworker commented that usually, for most people, when they become more involved in their church, they become MORE kind, loving, easy-going, etc. But, he noted, that wasn't happening for me - at all.

  I was taken aback, slightly offended, and felt a little guilty that people were not seeing the 'fruitage of the spirit' in me and thus I was maybe bringing small reproach on Jehovah's name.

  I felt there was noone for me to talk to about this change in my personality so the comment just hung in my head and festered.

  I am so much happier now. Less stressed. Less worried about the future.

  wow, 4 years!

  it has been a real journey.

  going from a devout jw, to having a close call with a loved one possibly needing a transfusion, to researching the heck out of everything, to letting it rest and go back to sleep for a while, to moving states and almost going crazy knowing all the bs they were speaking from the platform.
