  it's rachel from new zealand here.

  i am currently helping a nz journalist source potential interviewees for a short documentary she is making about child sexual abuse issues among jws in new zealand.

  nothing of this nature has been seen in the news in nz before so this is quite exciting!

  Had a similar conversation with jws at the door, I said to the 2 females that if the elders found that you had the koran in your home you would be in deep shit. Their reply was that they would not be in trouble and that they know of several jws with the koran and other so called holy books. I find what they said total BS.

  What is behind your choice of forum user name?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just curious how we all think.. what prompted or influenced your choice of username for this forum?.

  there are some really amazing names, and it would be great to hear the stories behind them.... mine was nothing fancy.

  i just felt "stuck in a rut too" along with so many others.

  Just r&f, never aspired to be anything more, I was baptised early in 1981 & stopped going on field service in november 1981, so I had made sure I was well and truely off the radar.

  A State of Emergency has been declared

  by Bungi Bill in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  everybody here right now is busy "battening down the hatches" as they wait for the approach of a tropical cyclone.

  a state of emergency has been declared in the district - the second one in as many weeks.

  (the floodwaters from the tropical cyclone that hit just last week have still not drained away).. so far, the biggest hazard looks like it will be the storm surges from the ocean, and people living in some exposed coastal areas have already been evacuated.
