Latest info:

Five followers of the Jehovah Witnesses sect have been injured late Sunday night in a clash with activists of the nationalist VMRO party.

The incident happened in the Black Sea city of Burgas, in front of the Jehovah Witnesses House of Prayer, where VMRO staged a protest rally.

The injuries are reported as light; furniture and equipment inside the House have been damaged and broken.

10 people are under arrest – all from VMRO, including the party's regional leader, Georgi Drakaliev, the Burgas police say. All are going to be questioned.

The protest rally against the Jehovah Witnesses was scheduled for 7 pm Sunday. The VMRO announcement was addressed to the "Chernomorets" football team fen club – "The Blue Sharks," the "Neftohimik" football team fen club, the Union "Patriot," and others. Police are still investigating who were the exact participants in the brawl and who instigated it.

Hot Topic: Children before religion

OUR report on Jehovah's Witnesses not requiring police checks before working with children or doorknocking has readers asking why not, when other religions face up to such scrutiny.

----------

HOW is it that all religions are required to undergo a police check and they all abide by it, except Jehovah's Witnesses? (Taking on Watch Tower, SHS, April 10). Are they above the law? The next time they knock on my door the first thing I'll ask them is do you have a police check? When they answer in the negative I'll close the door.

Concerned parent, via email

----------

Check is best

"WHO'S looking after the children?" Those in authority should not ignore what alleged sexual assault victim Steven Unthank is saying about doing police checks on Jehovah's Witnesses ministers, prior to their dealing with unsupervised children, under Victoria's Working with Children act.

On January 1, 1986, the governing body of this organisation admitted in the Watchtower magazine that in the past year 36,638 individuals had been dis-fellowshipped from the organisation -- a great number of them for practising immorality.

This man has a big battle on his hands and needs all the help he can get.

Hundreds of killer tornadoes have struck the US, leaving 45 people dead and a countless number of houses destroyed.

Experts have predicted the weekend may have set a new record for the number of tornadoes in a three-day period.

North Carolina was the worst-hit state, with 62 twisters ripping through the region on Saturday night, leaving 23 people dead.

The storm system began in Oklahoma on Thursday evening before it strengthened and expanded through the southern states, including Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama and North Carolina.

Shocking!

I know of one.

He was in his 40's and had a wife & two children in their teens.

He was always feeling persecuted at work for his JW beliefs. He would tell me that he couldn't stand the ridicule from his work mates. I was in my teens and had no idea how to help a 40+ year old with such things... This went on for years, then one day we all find out he jumped in front of a train to end it all.

This thread is quite sad but this subject needs to be spoken about.

invite in her hand, i told her to keep it, we already had one.

I was wondering if we were going to get an invite. Well today our dreams came true. We were visited by an elder from our KH. I didn't answer the door but I could see who it was through the window without him seeing me. Well he stood there for a while then walked away, slipping the invite in our letterbox as he walked to his car.

Wow, a special invite to pass wine & crackers around a room for an hour...what a special night that would be.

This will be the first memorial my wife & I are missing since we left, it's almost been a year out, feels great!
