  Who has NOT read Combatting Cult Mind Control or Crisis of Conscience?

  by Mad Sweeney in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  a lot of people here have read and highly recommend ccmc by steven hassan and coc by ray franz, myself included.

  i don't know how i would have handled leaving the borg without that knowledge.. so thinking that got me to wondering, who here has not read them (or has read one but not the other), and how are you coping with exiting the borg?

  did you get counseling?

  I Steve Hassan. I love the fact that he took such a negative experience and turned it into his life's work.

  Black Sheep, I have read both Take Back Your Life and Combatting Cult Mind Control. They are very different books, you would still gain a lot from reading the latter.

  European Court to favor the WT and condemns the French goverment

  by Nick! in

  this news was announced today on the journal "le monde": http://www.lemonde.fr/societe/article/2011/06/30/temoins-de-jehovah-la-cour-europeenne-des-droits-de-l-homme-condamne-la-france_1543102_3224.html#xtor=rss-3208.

  unfortunately, the european court of human rights has just condemned the french government against jehovahs witnesses.

  if you recall, the french state was claiming 23 million euro (abt 33 million us dollars) taxes on contributions received by the french watchtower during the years 1993-96, which, by now, had climbed to about 58 million euro (abt 83 million us dollars) counting interests and charges.. it is not easy to size the wt.

  If the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one then maybe the Devil looks after his own?

  Living the life you choose

  You should have the freedom to live your life the way you want and to make your own decisions, within reason. This includes the opportunity to do what you want in your private life, to meet and develop relationships with other people and to participate in essential economic, social, cultural and recreational activities of the community. You should also be able to enjoy your property and other belongings without unnecessary interference. Education plays an important role in helping people achieve their potential in life. Education can open new doors for people and stop them being trapped in a life of disadvantage. So it is important that everybody in Britain has access to educational opportunities. UK law includes a range of human rights that help give you opportunities and control over your life. http://www.equalityhumanrights.com/human-rights/what-are-human-rights/living-the-life-you-choose/

  I had to attend an equality and diversity training session for work today and part of it was about your human rights in the UK and this organization was mentioned http://www.equalityhumanrights.com/ I had a wry smile to myself when the slide came up listing my basic human rights and I totted up in my head how many the borg violates. But then, they're a religion therefore untouchable, in which case human rights organizations are paper tigers.

  The effect we are having on the Watchtower is HUGE

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was inspired by a recent thread i know i aint gunna crumble the wt, but a girl can dream to look at the effect we as individuals are having on the watchtower society.. 3dogs1husband quoted a story to show that even helping only one person is worth it.. it is encouraging to note that the one person you may have helped has lead to millions being helped, due to the power of compounding growth.. compounding growth is well illustrated by the rice on a chessboard problem.

  if you start with 1 grain of rice on square one, and double it to 2 on the second, 4 on the third, 8 on the fourth, by the last (64th) square there would be 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 grains of rice.. likewise, if you help one person out of the grip of the watchtower this year, then next year you help one more and they help one, in a few years that is going to have a formidable result on the number of jehovahs witnesses.

  look at the following statistics.
