  Revolution in Iceland

  reykjavik, iceland: thousands of icelanders marked the 90th anniversary of their nations sovereignty with angry protest monday, and several hundred stormed the central bank to demand the ouster of bankers they blame for the countrys spectacular economic meltdown.. tiny iceland has seen its banks and currency collapse in just a few weeks while prices and unemployment soar leaving a country regarded as a model of scandinavian prosperity in a state of shock.. the government played roulette and the whole nation has lost, .

  anti-government protests have been growing larger and angrier since icelands three main banks collapsed in october under the weight of huge debts amassed during years of rapid economic growth.. .

  will all global reaction to this world wide economic crisis eventually follow suit?.

  The burdensome load of a Jehovah's Witness - did you feel this way?

  by jambon1 in

  for me, my life as a jehovah's witness was tiring, depressing & miserable.

  surrounded by negativity i felt utterly supressed & unhappy.

  to carry out my 'responsibilties' became very difficult.

  Is there a Christian message without the element of fear/perceived threat?

  by nvrgnbk in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so many christians highlight love and mercy as the main point of their religion.. that's undeniably appealing.. but is it true to christianity?.

  in the end, isn't the belief all about escaping god's violent wrath?

  aren't those that are unable to accept the system's contradictions and absurdities promised suffering and eventual destruction as punishment for their disbelief?.

  once having been a member of the jw religion and now that you have left, what is the worst thing that you realise it has done to you?

  i.e has it left you mentally scarred?

  has it left you with serious family trouble?

  Hi, I'm new

  hi, this is my first post but ive been lurking around this discussion board for some time now.

  my husband (the borg) occasionally posts and i had the pleasure of meeting some great people at the apostofest in covent garden, london last year arranged by bestie and sweetpea , hi to you both and hi to freetothink, mr majestic and everyone that was there hope youre all ok.. my story in a nutshell: raised a jw from birth, my whole family, expect one brother and sister (disfellowshipped) are still jws - basically i was raised in a family who were considered one of the pillars of the congregation, we all pioneered and did the whole witness thing, in fact one of my sisters is a missionary.

  my whole jw world crumbled when i learnt about the jw/un connection and from that moment on there was no turning back.
