Farkel, this is what makes Ray Franz' decision to leave and expose the organization that much more courageous. He gave up a lot in order to help the brothers. We should all be grateful to him for his sacrifice.

Who ARE These People?
by Farkel init bears reminding people that there are a number of very high ranking men in brooklyn who are quite aware that the practice of disfellowshiping for just-about-anything is totally unscriptural.
they are aware of stories like the young girl who committed suicide did so because her sister caught her smoking a cigarette and threatened to turn her in.
they are aware that their blood transfusion policy is not supported by scripture and that approximately 10,000 jws were not given a chance to save their lives as a result.

Have you been in a baptist church lately? Boy, there is dancing and singing all over the place! Not to mention spontaneous cries of "Amen" and "Halleluyah".

What films and TV shows couldn't you watch?
by sleepy inwhat films and tv shows couldn't you watch when you were a witness kid?.
i remmember being banded from watching scooby doo, ghostbusters ,e.t., (some british ones)count duckula, rent a ghost, well basicly anything with ghosts in it.. my parents wouldn't watch any films with much swearing in them, especially the f-word.. which is fair enought.but i don't notice swearing so sometimes i recommend a film without realising its got lots of naughty words.. sometimes a very sensitive brother from the hall would come round to visit, and he would be visably shocked if there was any sex or swearing in a tv programme which often made it embarassing when watching tv when he was round.. once when we had some friends round and we got waynes world out on video, a couple of the brothers walked out as they thought it too worldly.

Kids! Everytime one of mine goes out the house I worry until they come back again. of course, you can't tell them that but just the same, I never draw a peaceful breath until they are all where I can see them. I am so glad your daughter is going to be okay. Unfortunately, we cannot protect our kids from the experiences that life brings them, but luckily for you, your little girl will still be around to worry about her own kids. That'll show her!
