the watchtower article on "mentally diseased" apostates has caused a lot of commotion and might even be investigated as hate speech in some countries.

the united states has a different political climate and a different approach to balancing individual freedoms against the freedoms of religious organizations.

this makes it unlikely that charges of hate speech would get much traction in the united states, unless things escalate further or result in violence.

As much as it's a good idear the courts don't like getting involved with religious arguments.

The 1st ammendment will negate most of your argument.

The KKK,Westbro church ect have way more wackey idears than the JW's and opperate with the full protection of the 1st ammedment.

Nov.15th WT - WT Society Wants & Needs Elders- Not very High Standards

by flipper in

as many of us realize- times are hard for the wt society getting men to " reach out " for an elders or ministerial servants position as young men aged ( 18-35 ) are opting out of doing that due to the pressure they are under from the wt society leaders and just that it takes up too much valuable time where men could be earning a living and helping their own families instead of a thankless magazine printing corporation.

in the article " train others to reach out " in this issue it has lots of strange, controlling, yet perplexing statements which i'm sure will confuse jw men who are considering " reaching out ".

in fact, i think this article will discourage more than encourage them from doing so.. on pg.

I guess to pool they have to pick from is getting smaller so just dumb down the qualifications.

Disassociated with the JWs

by wizardca in

after having faded 12+ years ago, finally decided to da my-self.

i haven't done it before, mainly because the jws have left me alone and have family that are heavily into the religion cult.

in recent weeks i've had the "in" family go off the deep end with their actions increasing being rediculous.

Wizardca,

My guess is 2 elders will call on you i belive thats the way they handle it.

You can say nothing or try makeing your piont(s) about why you want to DA.

All the best.
