this individual who on the one hand produces excellent videos highlighting wt issues, yet has been known to peeve a lot of ex jw activists off.

Personally I like all their videos. I like a broad perspective of view regardless of whether Christian or atheist. The point is they are all highlighting the harmful affects of the 'Watchtower publishing company'. If I want a laugh I watch Mike and Kim who BTW bring out some fascinating- facts about WT. If I want an in depth blow by blow account of the latest jw broadcast, I watch cedars. If I want latest updates on a variety of topics such as shunning, child abuse, blood issue etc, I watch Marc and Cora, unwitness and many more. All have the same goal ie to stop the harmful policies of the WPC. -

My 14-year-old niece is being disfellowshipped
by keyser soze ini was contacted by my ex sister-in-law yesterday.
she asked me if i wanted to spend some time with my niece, while she went to her sister's baby shower.
it turns out my niece can't go because she's about to be disfellowshipped at the ripe old age of 14. .

This example highlights WHY parents need to stop pushing their kids into baptism to show them of as trophies. Any parents reading this sad situation with this 14 year old child, need to realise that Watchtower has an extreme punishment policy toward all those disfellowshipped regardless of age or wrongdoing. Shunning will come into effect whether you are 14 or 90 years of age. Shunning will come into effect if you are disfellowshipped no matter what. It doesnt matter how big or small the offence is. Watchtowers Shunning policy doesn't discriminate. If disfellowshipped for robbing a bank, you are shunned. If disfellowshipped for trivialities such as simply not agreeing with a teaching eg 1914...you are shunned. Parents, please don't encourage your child to get baptised into the organisation until they are at least a grown adult and can make their own minds up. I feel very sorry for this 14 year old girl. Christian love does not abuse children in this way! -

Question about the new blood card
by Truthexplorer inok......i really need to know the answer to the following question and scenario.
supposing a child at age 14 decides to get baptized.
the child is then given the new blood card which has now tightened things up with respect to lawyers etc.

I just wondered as am holding my own child back from baptism until over 18. I live in the UK and was concerned that this New document held more power legally on the blood issue when it comes to children. -

OK......I really need to know the answer to the following question and scenario. Supposing a child at age 14 decides to get baptized. The child is then given the new blood card which has now tightened things up with respect to lawyers etc. Supposing that child is involved in a car accident, is unconscious, has the blood card on him/her. He or she is rushed to hospital, the parents are told that a blood transfusion needs to be administered due to so much loss of blood from the injuries sustained; the parents refuse to give in on the blood issue. Can he or she still me made ward of court? or does this new blood document now override ward of court? I really need to know the answer to this please! -

This individual who on the one hand produces excellent videos highlighting WT issues, yet has been known to peeve a lot of ex jw activists off. Marc, Cora and unwitness seem very genuine in their discussion about this, but leaves me wondering why someone who produces excellent videos etc is displaying such an attitude toward other activists. Note: I watch this individuals videos all the time. It just leaves me with the question why?? I do hope that if this appears to be the case that he changes his ways and attitude toward other activists and simply agree to disagree and move on. -

Excellent Conversation At Literature Trolley
by cofty inyesterday my wife and i enjoyed one of our regular days out at edinburgh - movie, lunch, walk, meal etc.. in the late afternoon while mrs cofty went shopping i had an hour at the excellent museum of scotland and arranged to meet up outside the national gallery on princes street.
on my way back i saw the jw trolley was at the usual spot on the royal mile.
there was an older man and a young woman standing well back trying hard to look inconspicuous.

Hi Cofty, sound like you had a respectable conversation with this guy. If its the John I know who is in my cong and who often does the metro work, he is a genuine nice man. It was good that he had an ' agree to disagree attitude'. For eg, I beleive in creation, BUT like John am willing to listen peoples view respectfully. I would love to have your boldness Cofty. -
