I have seen a documentary years ago. Don't know if this is the same. Remembering when this happened it was absolutely unbelievable that so much actual film exists and that people would kill their own children (not that that hasn't happened in history many times before). Jim Jones was such a creepy bad Elvis impersonator. Just like Waco. That's what happens when you give yourself over mentally to a human being. Kind of wacky that sisters in a car would say if the borg told them to kill...they would. Isn't that really perverted thinking....using Jonestown as a measuring gauge for your "faith and obediance".

When my ex husband was outed I was asked to one committee with him and they asked him,"Was it something your wife would or wouldn't do for you that made you turn to men?". That was it for me. Bye Bye.

Elders knew a woman got raped- the woman presses charges but case was
by cognac indropped because there wasn't enough evidence.
the elders did there investigation and could probably help the case out a lot because they found the woman to be innocent and the guy guilty... they knew eachother through jws.
he was going to the meetings his whole life, but didn't have any priviledges.. 6-8 months later he became a publisher.

The guy probably "repented" to the elders and that erased anything on his slate. When he rapes his next victim these guys are going to have to know that they put the fox in the henhouse.

I shopped around and went to different services. No fit anywhere. All religions are cults to some degree or another. Having "faith" is the hook to make you believe the lie.

by The Doc 58 ini would like to give the full details of my leaving the jw's, but i don't have a lot of time at this moment.
basically i was raised in the organization and it drove me pretty insane bacause my father was an elder, mother a pioneer, sister a bethelite, etc.

ARE YOU PRO-UNION OR ANTI-UNION?
by Mary inwould you rather work in a unionized or non-unionized environment?
the place where i work recently voted 'no', we don't want a union in here (after being harassed by a very large union for the last 5 years).
there were some who voted 'yes', but the majority of us voted 'no' and those that were pro-union are quite pissed off that the rest of us 'fail to see the light'.

Very pro union. I have seen the Unions get as corrupt as the Cos but without them I would be making very little with no benefits. G. Bush (actually starting with that ol fart Reagan) have been busting unions for years because of their little backroom deals (and Clinton's NAFTA) our worker jobs that made "the American Dream" possible have been outsourced and we are very broken. The rich get richer, the middle class get poor and the poor die.

Ptolemy's "Canon" unreliable .
by hamsterbait inthe "canon" of ptolemy cannot be used to reconstruct babylonian succession.
this is because it is an astronomical treatise.. it does not even pretend to be a history of the babylonian kings list.. ptolemy compiled his information to back up the (at that time) astonishing accuracy with which astronomical events could be predicted and traced using his model of the solar system expounded in the almagest.. so if no notable event happened in the reign of a particular king, he is not mentioned.. however events which could be traced to a date and time, are mentioned, and the king ruling at the time named.
this would facilitate tracing the records made by the babylonians who were expert observers of celestial phenomena.. the egyptian historical records also show 587 as the date of jerusalem being sacked.

Wasn't Ptolemy Cleopatra's father? (they were Greek I believe)
