HEAR YE HEAR YE: DID STEVE UNTHANK'S LEGAL ACTION CAUSE MORE THAN A RIPPLE?
by steve2 inhear ye, hear ye, there's not much to report..... a few weeks ago, we were alerted on this forum to australian ex-jw mr steve unthank's pending legal proceedings against the watchtower society on the grounds that the society - alone among organized religious groups - had refused to comply with the state of victoria's 2007 legislation requiring all those who work with children to undergo police checks.
those of us who read more widely noticed the inflammatory religiosity of the edict mr unthank furnished for the court's pleasure.
in trumped up language befitting someone who seemed to think he was destined for an important role in the scheme of things, mr unthank demanded that the watchtower society apologize - and the wording suggested he expected the society would indeed be orderedvia the court to apologize to a worldwide audience.

C.T.Russell..did you know............
by Snoozy indid you know that the man that helped form the jehovah's witness religion only had 7 years of schooling?.
"in june 1912 reverend j.j. ross, pastor of the james street baptist church in hamilton, ontario, published the pamphlet, some facts about the self-styled 'pastor' charles t. russell, denouncing russell, his qualifications as a minister, and his moral example as a pastor.
russell promptly sued ross for "defamatory libel".

Quick question, what does it mean when its announced that someone is no longer a Jehovah's witness?
by Joey Jo-Jo inas the title asks, does this mean that the person has been disfellowship on the basis on what the wb&ts considers as a sin or would this more like the person no longer wants to be a jw?.

Funniest JW memory?
by stillstuckcruz inperhaps something that happened in fs, the memorial, convention etc.
i need a laugh.
last year at the memorial, an old brother was so shaky in the hands, when he passed the wine it spilled all over him.

one was a mick turned on in the bathroom while he was taking a leak and the other was a talk that he waved his middle finger around without realising it.
organisms mixed up with orgasms.

Are You Raising An Introvert?
by darth frosty inits not easy being an introvert in an extrovert worldespecially when youre a kid.
it is even more difficult if none of the adults in the kids life recognize that the child is an introvert.
this doesnt happen only when the childs parents are extroverts, but also with introverted parents who have never understood their own introverted nature.. .

Great article, from one introvert to another I dont think this scope refers to all introverts, at times I panic, have a problem with speech during high amounts of stress and can't think straight, one uni exam my brain just shut down completely, but everything else I find to be correct, introverts dont get much along with extroverts untill they know you better.

A reason christs ransom makes no sense to me
by Aussie Oz indo you remember the old jeff bridges film ''the last starman''?.
basic theme was an extra terestrial energy life transmogrified into a human and impregnated a woman with a seed that would become the savior of humanity.. hollywood is an old hand at using good v evil sort of messages that have ideoligical ties to the bible and the 'need' for mankind to be saved from themselves.. what gets me about this particular film is that the savior to come was there for all humanity.
no conditions were placed on how many from what nations could benefit, nor was salvation only for those who 'believed' or were smart enough to read visions or hidden messages etc.

there is proof of an historical Jesus but no proof of an historical messiah, we can never be certain but one thing is true, if you read from genesis to matthew you see that God changes his mind on things.
