Thank you for the share...very inspiring!
If only all kids were so smart and brave..and all parents so loving and non judgemental.
I know you will go far..& be there for your parents when they need you, which they will. I am glad that you could see the limited education of your parents was the contributing factor to their acceptance of the JW's, education, reason and knowledge is THE best defence against cult - ism.

'I Got You' -Shannon Johnson
by freemindfade inwith all the focus on the shooters and the rehashing the cowardly acts of those determined to spread violence and fear, i think its good to talk about those who are not cowards and its their names we should remember most to take the power away from the martyr cowards.

My only good memory of going to a circuit assembly at Clairton, PA high school is meeting my late wife. I was recently discharged from the Army in 1968 and at the urging of my mother who was a JW since 1961, went with her. I fell head over heels for this great young lady and we were married less than 8 months later. Needless to say, I went whole hog into the religion. Not sure now if it was her or did I really believe it.
HappyDadâ€Love the post!
Always said it's the one good that comes from being a JW - you can find yourself some darn fine life - totty!!

I think he's being ironic, guys.
The first person who overcame my paranoia and got me to vote was a mate and I voted for the "Brixton Rainbow Alliance" Yeah!
Sometimes humour works, plenty of people voted for Screaming Lord Sutch and his "Monster Raving Loony"Party.
However, I do appreciate that you American's take democracy seriously. Thats a little hard for us, given that we still have a ruddy monarchy kicking around..

Scientology loses Tax Exempt status in Netherlands!
by talesin inthe hague court has made this ruling ......... i searched, and no topic showed up, so hope this is not 'old news'.. if a cult loses its tax-free status, does anybody care?well, yeah!
*pumps fist in the air*.
it's about time.

Woohoo, just found this thread Talesin (whilst looking at some of your posts about your parents)I had no idea...
This is big news, they will appeal of course but hopefully if it sticks it will open the floodgates.
Really if the WT is so callous with their own elderly & sick, are they gonna care or do anything charitable for the community?Pushing your own agenda with mags does not count!

Any thought on Business Territory
by Sabin ini was working one day, had a couple of male customers to serve when this lady walks in & offers me a track on her religion, my answer without thinking " i already know what the bible say's, i'm one of jw's".
she just threw me a dirty look & the two guy's just looked down & said nothing.
i just carried on, served them as nothing had happened.
