What lengths did you go to, to not miss meetings?
by exwitless ini posted this in another thread, but i thought it would merit a thread.
the elders in our cong.
likened missing a memorial to an "unforgivable sin".

JWs are growing
by stillajwexelder inok i got my world population infor from here.. http://www.ibiblio.org/lunarbin/worldpop.
if the jws have an average of 6.7 million publishers and there are 6.7 billion people in the world then simple math tells us the publisher to population ratio is 1:1000 .
i will update this thread as i get information which i do not have in front of me at the moment because i am at work.. in 1980 the worlds population was 4.5 million and yet there were 2.5 million witnesses - so the jw: world population ratio was 1:1800 .

How could an ex-Jw become Catholic
by My Struggle ini don't mean this to be offensive to any catholics in any way and believe that they can have true salvation unlike the jw.
also, i know little about the in's and out's of practicing catholicism, as i have never had any interest in being one.
regardless i am always surprised when an ex-jw says that they have found the real truth in catholicism.

i have no idea, especially if they have ever read "Vicars of Christ, the DARK side of the Papacy" by Peter de Rosa. an ex jesuir priest. i could harly put the book down for laughing, crying etc. it stunned me. without a word of a lie.
read of pope after pope who were atheists, sodomites, murderers, soldiers etc.
'#;*- it's unbelievable

PO kids
by memphisbelle inthis is pretty amazing !
this girl is the daughter of a man who was a major elder in a local cong.
for years, he had no problem telling anyone within earshot how to raise their children, and tel them what they were doing wrong, and what wonderful pioneer - missionaries his kids were going to be.

Never Thought About Suicide. Why not?
by Nosferatu ini was doing some thinking this morning about my mother, when she said she wanted to "work on our bond" over a pizza, and i pretty much didn't bother with the offer.
i was thinking about how i'd confronted her before my boy was born about all the physical abuse which she denied.
i started thinking back to that time in my life, when i would shake uncontrollably thinking about school, let alone actually going to school.

i have known a good few who have done it.
have also known a few who have attempted it. sh#t.
but personally, i think human life is much too valuable too waste!!

do elders in england have to report abuse ?
by looloo inis it the law in england for elders to report child sex abuse to the police ?
i think teachers and others in a position of trust have to .
if not i dont understand why the elders themselves dont think it is wrong, if a brother confesed to the elders that he had murdered someone would they report that to the police ?

why does the WTS try to explain how good medically NO BLOOD IS?
by ?me? inlooking at the questions to go over for the blood video, it looks like and i have heard in the past how the wts expounds about the medical positives of not taking blood, and rails against blood for all the problems, diseases, and the fact that it does not always work........... the real question is....... why do they even waste time on that if the issue is supposed to be a biblical/scriptural restriction.?.
even if taking blood was the best thing in the world for you , the wts stance is that the bible and jehovah forbid it, end of story.
there is really no need to try to convince people who want to supposedly follow jehovah's command to abstain from blood.

need to know- what meds/ treatments forbidden/doubted by witnesses? court
by burningbridges inhey, im currently going through a custody battle with my little daughter and want to know a list of all medications that contain a blood fragment or fraction at all.
my husband has put on his medical directive that he is against all, even the concience ones, so i will be able to use this information to help prove he would not give her adequate care if she ever needed any of those medications.
if anyone wants to go above and beyond, it would also be very very nice to know what conditions/illnesses need to be treated with these types of meds.

if he really is against all, then all anti-toxins and serums are out, every antibody for any innoculation is obtained from the "MISUSE" of blood according to them
