If potentail lawsuits would/could be kept at local level only, it would seem elders would be hesitant to be elders, would/should be scary for them.

Just received a call
by sspo ini was checking jwd and just received a call from an older sister to check on me and see how i was doing.. right off the bat she started telling me how hard times are and everybody is depressed and having a tough time, .
on and on and on and how the new system is the only releif and hope we have..........well i could feel my blood boiling and put a stop to it .
and just reminded her i just don't believe anymore, i have no more faith but i'm doing just fine and i'm very happy and things are going well for me.. well, she didn't know what to say after that and started once again how jehovah is blessing the organization since there are more than 900 kh.

If your child is in middle or high school, please contact his teacher or school administrator to request that his school participate in the "Community Classroom" program sponsored by PBS and the Independent Television Service.
KNOCKING was selected for "Community Classroom" and will be offered to public schools across the United States for free.
The story lines in KNOCKING have been developed into a curriculum with supporting video modules from the film. Educational content was created with guidance from the National Council for the Social Studies, the National Association for Multicultural Education and PBS Teachers. The content will use the story of Jehovah's Witnesses to educate students on civil liberties, religious tolerance, medical ethics and standing for what you believe.
For more information about how your child's school can participate, please visit this link:
http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/classroom/knocking.html
To request a free copy of the video modules and educational materials, contact outreach@itvs.org (Be sure to mention KNOCKING in your correspondence)
You may want to bring this to your teacher's attention now, in the final weeks of the school year, and remind him again in the fall.
FYI: The free DVD only has short segments from the film, each under 10 minutes long, that correspond with the educational curriculum to facilitate classroom discussion.
To order the film in its entirety, go to www.knocking.org
KNOCKING is also available in Spanish at www.llamando.org
Please forward this information. -

Do You Think Jehovah's Witnesses Are Truly Happy?
by StAnn ini've been wondering about this a lot lately.
when i was a jw, i was always miserable because i was so busy trying to keep up with everyone else, i.e., field service hours, dressing appropriately, having the right attitude, feeling guilty about desiring things not approved by the wts, such as an education.
my own experience as a jw was so filled with unhappiness that it never occurred to me that anybody in the wts could actually be happy and have a joyful life.

He's had a series of guests. He tries to get on line JWs at times if possible. This is almost like a radio talk show style.

I thought in an earlier news clip, the husband was noted as a JW. I am thinking also of the recent news report of a previous JW elder/pedofile there in Murietta also recently a big court case & sentenced to prison. I wonder what the heck the Murietta congregation(s) there are going through??? Going door to door there would be absolutely horrible, impossible, I would think.

The Rapidly Emerging "NEW BREED" of Jehovah's Witnesses
by kool aid man06 inthe "ever-changing doctrine" of the watchtower org.
is now creating an "incubator of doubts" that seems to be "hatching" this so-called "new breed" of witnesses.
watchtower publications written with purposeful ambiguous articles seems to be allowing many witnesses to become extremely liberal in their way of thinking.the watchtower org's view, as of late, in making more things a conscience matter, blood issues, voting, alternative service, organ transplants, attending weddings and funerals in churches, celebrating holidays, etc.

Your one recording is "banned?" Anxious to hear more about that! I like your conference call style,,almost like a 'radio talk show' with the latest JW 'news', special guests that have written a book or someone now in a Candian court case re the Watchtower Society & blood issue and I look forward to your future guests. I like how you try to get other JWs to come on line if possible too.
