.

just curious, with all the internet bashing, etc, if a bethelite wanted to have internet access in their room, would it be allowed.. if so, i wonder if they monitor the activity?

Joyzabel

only that an ex friend of ours (still JWs) his son at bethel got his dad a laptop but put on it the software that the son can monitor where he goes on the internet all the way from bethel!!! Yes, across many state lines. This kid is in the computer department. So if he's monitoring his own dad, you can just imagine how they are monitoring the bethel family.

Entering the mind of the suicide bomber

entering the mind of the suicide bomber.

the sunday business post (ireland), july 17, 2005 by kevin toolis.

as the tube doors closed behind him, and the circle line train headed west towards edgware road, bomber mohammed sidique khan knew that his next destination was paradise.. around him stood innocent london commuters, but their lives - and their imminent deaths - meant nothing to khan.

Joyzabel

When I was in London 2 weeks ago, after the bombings, I was noticing how Muslin's that were interviewed actually stuck up for their friends (the suicide bombers) They would not really answer the reporter's questions but justify the bomber's actions. Total brainwashing and I'm afraid more bombing (Jehad) because the fundamentalist Muslims view themselves at war.

Unfortunately, it was all too easy to understand because of the background in a cult. It is all about mind control and people willing to anything for their "God".

Ok we've left the Org - Now what?

by Nellie in

i am no longer a witness.

i've told all my worldly friends and my immediate family - my kids have told their friends.

i haven't been to a meeting in over a year (and have no desire to go to one) - but i'm not dad or dfd.

Joyzabel

as JW's we were spoon feed on what to believe.

Now you have the wonderful oppertunity to decide for yourself what you believe. It may take years and it may take lots of reading. But the decision is yours.

Enjoy your journey.
