The WT claims it was because of the Clergy. What I want to know is why would the Government imprison them over a religious dispute Surely there would need to be something they did that broke US laws some evidence to bring charges of sedition and treason

If I'm so intelligent how did I get drawn in to it all?
by Lozhasleft ini consider myself an intelligent woman...maybe not strong on the 'common sense' front, but academically i've done pretty well...so...how on earth did i not see through it all when i was studying in the beginning???.
i remember worrying about their 'sales pitching' styles and their arrogance of believing they had the 'truth' ...but still i got involved and became totally immersed in it all.
i feel like i sacrificied our whole family to them, who now shun me.. yesterday, my new son in law, he's a lawyer, asked me how i could have believed it wasnt a cult (topical word this week here) he said he didnt understand how i could have been persuaded to believe it all and trust them with so much and for so many years...... i feel ashamed of myself that i did and that i brought all this upon our family...anyone else relate?.

RE DVD Faith in Action
by Luo bou to invideo interviews give us the opportunity to discern the sincerity of the speaker.
watch their eyes & facial expressions.
with a couple of the speakers i got this distinct impression that they didn't really believe what they were saying was true.. one scene that really doesn't ring true.

One scene that really doesn't ring true. Is after being told by one GB member that Rutherford was brusque in manner and didn't fear to tread on anyones toes. We then see a reenactment of him stoically standing by and not defending himself while he is being harassed by his opposers
Overall though I think it is a fairly well done piece of propaganda

According to the Elders manual and what constitutes loose conduct they are encouraged to ask such humiliating and demoralizing questions. It goes right to the top the insensitive sick fuxxers that run the Org. Like so many on this board I have suffered profound losses and subsequently ran the whole gambit of emotions including suicidal but hey what doesn't kill you can only make you stronger A triumph of the human spirit. Today I am content enjoy life and am emotionally well adjusted Re: emotionally well adjusted That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it
Welcome Thetis your among friends who understand where your coming from Big big Hug Lots of love Robert
PS CS Lewis is one of my favorite writers

DVD "JW's Faith In Action, part 1 Out of Darkness" Omits! Omits! Omits!
by Wasanelder Once ini've been watching the new dvd and it is a bull fest about russell.
i haven't even gotten half way and they already excluded one very important bit of information.
you'll recall that russell "lost" his faith and "turning away from church creeds and searching for truth, russell examined some leading oriental religions, only to find these unsatisfying".
