I have to say I was blown away by the UN thing. Maybe print the 1 page document and take it to work and show them when you ask the question about the association.

Need a good question to ask a JW at work
by claytoncapeletti inif you had to pick the best question that would disprove a scared jw belief what would it be?
i am not looking to debate the meaning of a scripture vs. a different scripture, rather i am looking for one of their beliefs that science and or history can totally dispute.
i may only be able to ask one question and there is a good chance that it will end up back to the elders.

God I know that feeling. I remember calling on school friends and trying to hide behind my father. I never heard the end of it at school. I was glad when I found a friend that was a couple years older than I and they let us go door to door together.
We used to either knock really softly or if someone did come to the door say - "You don't want this do you?"

Intercepting JW's on the 4th of July! Oh what fun!

Australian story: Abused JW kid now Melbourne writer
by Inquisitor inin the march 2007 issue of quadrant, an "australian review journal of literature and ideas", there is a small biography entitled:.

I was thinking that too jwfacts that they possibly would have treated her the same if they weren't jws but instead did it in the name of "jehovah" and they felt they had a valid reason for treating her that way. I don't understand why they would treat the other children different though. She got the hard treatment straight of the bat.
It's also scary that no-one picked up on the abuse the whole time and said anything. How many other kids are in the same boat that are supposed to be in loving families? Obviously this scenario is not limited to JW's, however, she would have had a hard time being alienated outside of the family as well with the birthdays, easter, christmas crap.

Ditto for what everyone is thinking/feeling on this forum. If there was such a thing as armageddon/paradise as if ANY of her family but her would make it through.
Makes you so mad people would do this to a child and person and the siblings would sit by and agree. I truly hope she is recovering. If she makes it here one day I think every one who posts would have something to say.

Does he understand what's going on? If so, I like rebel8's idea. Get him one with a camera and he can film/photo his own evidence?
