  latest jw community podcast has THE best interview

  by cobweb in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  no really, its golden stuff.

  i just listened to it and it contains an amazing interview with an australian activist who i only vaguely have heard of called steven unthank.

  he is one of the best guests i've heard on that show, competing with the governing body helper they interviewed once.

  @vienne....' The blog is very rich in content.'

  An understatement .

  The blog is a treasure trove of information.

  People, places, and events I knew nothing about.

  Request for Australian research: ban on Jehovah's Witnesses in 1941

  by JW83 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am planning on revisiting my (academic) research into the banning of jws in australia in 1941, and was wondering if anyone would have contacts i could interview?

  this is obviously a long shot (and it may be children/grandchildren) but i thought it may be worth a shot!.

  i am an ex-jw and academic historian, you can see my former published work on jws here: http://www.flinders.edu.au/sabs/shir/our-research/research-journals/fjhp/2008.cfm.

  Do Any JW's Still Use/Trust the Reasoning Book?

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  under the heading last days, the introduction promises this:.

  "the present wicked system of things, which extends worldwide, entered its last days in 1914, and some of the generation alive then will also be on hand to witness its complete end in the “great tribulation.”.

  will the "slave" explain to their followers that such an invaluable "witnessing tool" is no longer to be used, or will they just revise it electronically to reflect "current truth?

  by dubstepped in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  a new podcast interview, and a new book, on episode 15 of the "shunned" podcast.. .

  jason grew up in amish country but was raised in the cult of jehovah’s witnesses.

  this story has cars hidden in the woods for a getaway, living on boats, time spent in rehab, a jw group of “lost boys” that were dealing drugs, just your average story of leaving a cult.
