It looks amazing--thanks for letting me know about it. Also, I think the mother is the same actress that played the ladies maid on Downtown Abbey. Can't remember her name. Cool.

UC Berkeley Study on Disaffiliation from JW
by emmayataco ini'm a uc berkeley student researching the effects of disaffiliation from the jehovah's witnesses.
i'm not ex-jw but i am ex-mormon and as your cousin i can sympathize with the struggles we face when we question/leave the religion.. i currently have a survey open which closes on sunday the 20th at 11pm.. if you meet the criteria i encourage you to take the 20-30 minute survey.
-be at least 18 years old-born/raised jw (born in or family converted when you were minor)-"left" at least 6 months ago (left=inactive and questioning/non-believing).

It is not a scam. The consent/information form is standard wording from university institutional review boards.

"JW Box" $30 Logo Markup Scam!!!! Huge!!!
by thedepressedsoul inso get this, wt has something they're calling a "jw box" that gives people in africa "spiritual food".
the best part, they want donations of $75 for it!
so they don't provide any physical food to people in africa but they can send them "spiritual food" for $75.

It's telling that the video explaining how the box will work concludes by showing a small African girl putting money in the contribution box (so she can be just like Sophie!)
The African JWs are complaining that they can't access spiritual food and have family worship, etc., because they can't watch the videos. Um...didn't JWs manage just fine for, oh, I don't know--that last CENTURY without videos?

New Discord server.
by Mike1 ini recently created a discord server in order to create a community of exjw and associated ones.
the decision to create it came from a desire to have an inclusive and safe environment for those affected by the wt.
one in which we can share ideas and experiences, and meet other people with similar interests.

Needing to Questions Elders to Help Husband Understand
by Unlikely-pack-6349 inmy husband insist that i talk to the elders.
it is something i 100% plan on doing for the simple fact of my relationship with him.
i know some of you may disagree but it seems like the best option for us.. problem/question: .

Unlikely, sorry to hear you are in this tough situation. I'm curious as to how your husband justifies his own situation, which JWs would consider weak at best and probably in line to bite it at Armagg. It is one thing for an uber-zealous mate to want you to meet with the elders, something quite different for someone who is barely a JW.
As far as meeting with them, if you think it is necessary for your marriage, based on your husband's wishes, then you probably should go ahead with it. But as others have pointed out, it is likely not to make much difference. Still, if you prepare well and have evidence to back up your "concerns" and keep a calm and mild voice/attitude (you know how JWs esp. elders look for that, particularly in women), it might go okay.
Keep us posted. As a POMO wife to a sweet but still very much PIMI elder husband, I can understand your feelings.

Was It Designed? (My head hurts)
by Cadellin ini know i shouldn't--i tell myself this over and over--but i can't help peeking at these silly articles.
and then i see this and my head really starts hurting: so the gannet, if you don't know (and why would you?
) is a seabird that feeds on fish.

And then I see this and my head really starts hurting: So the gannet, if you don't know (and why would you?) is a seabird that feeds on fish. It dives to great depths in its hunting (okay, fishing). So this silly article on JW.Org is all about how amazing the bird's diving ability is, how deep it can go, how easily it pops back up to the surface "when finished diving." What is strikingly omitted is WHY the bird is diving. But of course, that little pebble in the JW shoe is ignored.
What do you think? Did the gannet’s diving ability evolve? Or was it designed?
Well, JW, if it was DESIGNED, that means God DESIGNED the bird to eat meat (well, fish). And how do you reconcile that with your literal eisegesis? Hmm? -

LV101, it is my understanding that there is not one molecule of evidence supporting the assertion of mail-in ballot fraud. However, if you actually have evidence, please include a link to the source. I am interested.

2020 Convention Friday Highlights: Information Control and Hypocrisy
by neat blue dog inthere's yet another talk to add to the list of talks written specifically for damage control against "apostates".
the speaker says, "some who were once part of the christian congregation attempt to mislead us", that they tell "false accusations" & "lies".
to combat this, he says that you should "protect your ears from damaging noise by not listening to it", comparing it to wearing "noise canceling headphones".
