  Tell me if I'm right or wrong

  jws say they can go anywhere in the world and they " know" that they would be shown hospitality from their fellow brothers.

  of all my years as a jw i found this wasn't the case.

  i honestly believe that if i turned up at any of my fellow apostates on here house and said hi i'm chook can we have a coffee, the response would be how many sugars..

  Well lets face it, how many witnesses really do travel the world over. I traveled a lot on business when I was in. Mostly, did not even attempt to go to a KH. When I did I was generally ignored until I made the effort to talk to people, then things were OK. I think it is more to do with human beings, doing as humans do. There was never anything special about going to meet witnesses at their halls.

  There was one congregation in Reno, Nevada (I live in Germany) where one brother was really nice and hospital, but thinking back now I really think he was a closet apostate. Unfortunately my business no longer takes me there.

  So going back to the OP, people are the same the world over, except witnesses exclude everybody outside their cult. People are generally hospitable, but witness are not hospitable to non witnesses, and even witnesses are not as hospitable to other witnesses as other Christians are to other Christians.

  At last something about JWs on a German news site.

  for anybody who understands german.. http://www.n-tv.de/panorama/masha-16-jahre-zeugin-jehovas-article18689741.html.

  it is quite rare that a german news site actually puts something up about jws, after all they are insignificant from a newsworthy point of view.

  but i like the fact that they have put this up..

  smiddy

  Thats about right.

  But its highlighting the cult, and n-tv is a fairly well visited news site.

  What if the WT has already destroyed all the files and evidence on Child Abuse, and they just cannot provide the information because they have already destroyed it. What would be the implications for the WT?

  so this past weekend i took my girlfriend and my boys on a little weekend getaway.

  we stayed in a hotel and early sunday morning i went out for some starbucks.

  when i returned and called the elevator it arrived, the doors opened and inside waiting to come out was a nice lady with that all too familiar badge on her lapel.

  My wife always made the hotel bookings and one year she went online to the hotel's website to check if there were any reservations at one of the WT recommended hotels, low and behold there was, at a price lower than what the WT stated.
