Interesting and sad at the same time...a story oft repeated. The comments from viewers of the video are particularly telling...typical JW-speak from brainwashed followers.

Asher Allen - MN Vikings
by elder-schmelder inasher allen, a defensive back who has played three seasons for the vikings and who just turned 24 years old, has abruptly retired.. vikings coach leslie frazier told reporters today that allen informed the team last week that he decided to call it quits.
frazier described himself as very surprised by allens decision, and its impossible not to be surprised: nfl players just dont walk away from the game, by choice, at the age of 24.. .
allen retired because he recently became one of jehovahs witnesses.

Did anyone notice that all of the positive comments made on the article were submitted via Facebook...aren't social network sites like Facebook frowned upon by the GB?

Women: Are they Equal to Men ?
by villagegirl inone of the hard core doctrines of the wt society, and many other religions, is that women are to be in "subjection" to men.. in the bible, in genisis , it says the domination of women by men came after adam and eve disobeyed god.
eve was cursed by pain in childbirth and that from then on as a curse: "he shall rule over you " from then on the male was to dominate the female.. but that was not in the original plan.
this was a reversal of the plan and a curse.

Since women can't write their name in the snow, how could they possibly be equal??

He also did a great job in "7 Psychopaths"...very Tarantino-like movie, and Waits has a fun cameo. The movie is definitely worth a watch if you like craziness!

I thought the current King of the North is Iran?...perfect scapegoat for the GB version of prophecy. They persecute JW's (the few there are in that country) and want to lead the way for the Twelth Iman's return to convert or destroy the non-Muslim infidels in the Western World.

Former Jehovah's Witnesses, will Jesus destroy all JW's when he comes to the Earth?
by Change Name inwhat do you believe happens when one of jehovah's witnesses dies?
do they go to hell?.
if you do not respond, does it mean that you are only looking to discredit and bash the jw's?.

Change Name...
I think when you start responding to questions from posters rather than doing "hit and run" posts with obviously "baiting" questions or statements, you will get more response back. Being a JW apologist is fine...being a troll who just posts provocative things is not cool.

I don't think that ex-JW's becoming Catholics is as unusual as some here think. A very active ex-JW, Tom Cabeen, comes to mind...he was an elder at Bethel during the 70's and early 80's, and saw all of the purges at Brooklyn that occured back then. His spiritual journey went to Evangelical Christianity and finally settled in to Catholicism. I believe his story is on freeminds.org.
