  Here in Holland I did not hear about sanctions.

  See even lesbian and gay former jw children in parents and other jw family list.

  So, there is a lot of virtual contact between former and current jw's.

  When I see JW facebook profiles I notice many DA children and family in the contact list. So yes, it is an issue.

  A positive issue.

  Bible on cassette

  by road to nowhere in

  2. beliefs

  one thing that i questioned years ago was the release of bible reading so you could listen.

  then when we finally got a tape it was in a thick german accent.

  so much for getting the meaning of it..

  What's wrong with Dutch? Germans speak German. The Dutch speak Dutch.

  The denial of 1975 when and how did they go about it.

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i was pretty young in 1975, all i remember was a few complaining at the hall after and those at the door that razed us over it.

  does anyone remember how they went about denying it and when this started.

  i do remember a scripture in psalms about people being mighty and living longer so this was used.

  Read dr. Richard Singelenberg thesis about this subject. Great research.

  Realistic depiction of exJW on tv

  by Saltheart Foamfollower in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  i recently watched a series which was broadcast a year ago on uk channel 4 called dicte - an import from denmark.

  the main character is a journalist, but it is revealed in the first 5 minutes that she was brought up as a jw.

  when she was in her teens, she had a baby which was removed from her.

  Very good tv detective. Realistic. My lovely wife likes it also.

  Great moment when Dicte's JW mother came secretly to the birthday party of her grandchild... not wanting her JW man to know. So realistic.

  William Malenfant's appalling hate speech - latest morning worship video

  by doubtfull1799 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so he tries to prove that we are living in the last days without any evidence, but instead a series of unsubstantiated assertions ("never has there been a time with so much lack love and affection").

  and uses things that are not even part of the so-called "sign" (abortions, pollution).

  then proceeds to ridicule the "ridiculers," stereotype them, and declare they are only fit for destruction!.

  JW Cart encounter

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i've seen very few carts in western australia.

  the only one i have seen is near the front entrance of the perth royal hospital and on the several occasions that i have seen it, they are there all day, at least during the week.

  i've stopped and had long conversations twice now and both times when i have approached them they've told me to take whatever publications interest me and then we've started talking.this last visit i brought up the royal commission.
