  this is my first time posting to this forum.

  let me start by saying i was born and raised as a jehovah’s witness.

  i’m thankful that i was raised this way, because i feel it protected me in some ways, especially with regard to moral issues.

  Captives of a Concept by Don Cameron is a must read too.

  The exception on thiis book,,Don doesn't delve into his history too much like Ray Franz did

  Mr Franz outlined his background in the Borg quite,, involved.

  Don Cameron just goes right into the things in the Borg which are damaging.

  Lithuania Set to Mirror Norway's Approach on Jehovah's Witnesses

  it is proposed to the seimas not to grant state recognition to the religious community of jehovah's witnesses.

  lithuania05/05/2024 09:30. jehovah's witnesses; baptism associative / e. ovcharenko / bns photo.. it is proposed to the seimas to refuse to grant state recognition to the lithuanian jehovah's witnesses religious community.. community representatives told bns that they hope that parliamentarians, taking into account the practice of the european court of human rights, will make a different decision.. the draft resolution registered by the chairman of the human rights committee of the seimas, tomas vytautas raskevičius, states that this community does not meet the requirements of the constitution and the law, that its education and rites do not conflict with laws and decency.. "the ministry of justice has determined that the religious teaching of this community is possibly not compatible with the constitution of our country in two aspects.

  the first is that jehovah's witnesses oppose blood transfusions due to certain aspects related to health care (...).

  $4000.00/ day fine by the court to the WT. That's it.

  Now I remember. For each day the Borg refused to release the list of pedophiles..

  I recall the Borganization settled out of court somehow. So that $4000.00/day fine stopped.

  5 years ago-ish,, before the pandemic. Seems this took place.

  What is beyond ironic here. If the CSA cases topple the Borg,,,,the Borg has boasted for decades that Babylon the Great goes down,,,,and the Witnesses would be the last religion standing.

  The Borg would be gone first,, which says they dont owe an apology for anything!!

  These other religions have apologized. They would be around when the Borg is gone,,,which has never apologized,,& will not apologize.

  Its like poetic justice.

  Pedo Database with GB names on it & the list of pedophiles being exposed?

  I may seem ignorant or misinformed here,,, but I thought the Borg settled out of court 5 or so years ago. Remember when they had that,,,,,tens of thousands per day fine & it lasted many,, many months?? For each day the Borg withheld that list??? Totalled over $$2 milllion?? I thought the Borg somehow settled out of court so they wouldn't have to disclose that pedo list amongst the Borg. And,,,,,that,,,, tens of thousands of $$$$ per day fine for each day the Borg would not disclose that list,, would be over.??? Roughly 5 or so years back.

  Im just a little unclear here.

  Freeatlast:

  Welcome to the forum.

  Crisis of Conscience is a must read. Not the easiest first time around. It can be tough. But a must read.

  I followed it with Ray Franz's 2nd book. In Search of Christian Freedom. This book I managed to track down at a reasonable price. Its not in print anymore. It takes some hunting around now to find one reasonable

  Crisis of Conscience is readily available on kindle and amazon. This book is usually all it takes to ""snap out of" the JW trance pretty much.
