She displayed a literature cart in front of my house: That does it for me!
by Tempest in a Teacup inis this something they've asked them to do?
cart displays in front of their homes?
my mom is only in her mid 60s so i'm quite sure this is not an issue of mental illness.. the only illness she's suffering from is boredom since she's refused to work for years now.

Has anyone been outed by jw health care workers?
by purrpurr incarrying on from audespare thread.
i was wondering how common it is for a sinner/apostate to be outed by a babbling jw care worker?
say you went to your dr because you were pregnant and unmarried or wanting counseling for having to live a double life as a pretend jw... and a jw secretary at the drs office saw this on your file and went tattling to the elders?.

Zeb this is true but staff not registered with a centralised proffessional body...such as receptionists, heath care assistants etc will always get more work if they have experience, even if only with an agency, they are just not accountable enough .In the UK even social workers and teachers come under that category sadly. -

This is why its our DUTY TO LET HEALTHCARE STAFF KNOW THAT JW STAFF CANNOT BE TRUSTED AROUND issues of CONFIDENTIALITY. Also not to assume JWs won't accept blood...explain the shunning and consequent no of fakers.
Sorry for shouting, just feel really strongly about this!

I'm still on my JWN holidays but had to pop back to share this experience.
by nicolaou ini'm a postman with the royal mail and was assigned to train a new starter yesterday.
my line manager introduces me to 'dave', within seconds my jw radar was on maximum!
in his mid to late 30's, politely spoken and with that haircut - i just knew it.. the post he'd applied for was saturdays only, he said he did a lot of volunteer work.

It's your JAY- dar (or J-dar) it never fails eh? Yup, a certain type of person, raised in the WT, really does not feel safe out in the " world" and they say they're not a cult cos they live with us and not in a compound!!!What a joke....they are so cut off, as the society wants them to be .... and yes individual dubs don't know any better so it's good to let them see it's possible to leave and be really ok. Let us know how he gets on....at least he's working and not pretending to be ill like they usually do in the UK -

At that point they trespass into an area where the law can step in and hold them accountable for violating other people's rights.
You are right , but I do think WT are treading on thin ice with this one. Essentially the video is a) teaching their kids to be bigoted and b) telling them to go preach that bigotry to their schoolmate with gay parents.
Given that most schools in the US and UK etc aim to create a safe environment for ALL pupils regardless of creed, religion, sexual preference and family background etc a kid going JW sherrif all over school and making fellow pupils feel like shit in the process is likely to cause a shitstorm if said gay parents are inclined to make an issue of it. I don't know where all this would lead but I do know one thing, the JW kid is likely to have another viewpoint vehemently rammed down her throat by the school board . A good thing of course but not from a dub parents point of veiw.

Like someone can just drop homosexual leanings or desires like a dropping a piece of carry-on luggage.
Its worse than that...they expect gay people to just drop their loved one like a piece of carry-on luggage too....oh hang on, they already expect people to do that with their kids, fathers, mothers, wives, grandfathers,aunties, cousins...etc...at least then they are equal opportunities shunners!!

Here's a view on homosexuality for you...
by konceptual99 in...right from a pro-jw site in response to a post about the relative seriousness of homosexuality.
all you can do is reason from the scriptures, which you appear to have done.
homosexuality is as serious as bestiality, or adultery and fornication.

Truthseeker DATA-DOG is right, technically as a Christian all sins are as one...paid for by the blood of Christ should you ask for forgiveness in his name. There is no mention of one being worse than another - the Watchtower got that wrong ( obviously a Franze BS issue)- except for the mysterious " unforgivable sin against the holy spirit" and frack knows what that is!! -

Galatians 5:26 was used in and before the 1960`s to not be involved in competitive sports for yourself or for your children
by smiddy inmyself and my peers in the jw organization in the 1960`s discouraged our children from entering into competitive sports because of the jw policy , regarding that scripture .. has their been a radical change since then ?
a re-interpretation of that scripture ?.
why i ask this question is : here in victoria australia where afl football ( aussie rules ) is often regarded as a religion , especially to the state, victoria , we have, according to the media , a devout jehovah`s witness playing professional afl football at a competitive level.. and at their latest win , the team , including alec rance a jw of the richmond club was enthusiastically singing the club victory song along with his teammates on their win .. are their other examples of this in other parts of the world or is this an australian hiccup.. smiddy.
