Do pro-Jehovah's Witness sites on the internet ban "apostates"? They sure do. How do they treat those whom they disfellowship? Why don't they afford others what they wish for themselves? If they have a right to regulate who and who they do not want in their midst, why do not governments? JW's consider "apostates" troublemakers and Russia considers JWs troublemakers. Maybe JWs have brought upon their own heads what is going on in Russia. They should be more careful of what they say in their literature about other religions and the governments, including Russia's. It's coming back to bite them.

If she or he were ever baptized Jehovah's Witnesses, wouldn't there be a record in some Kingdom Hall somewhere--perhaps Leavenworth, Kansas or Antioch, California?

My Reservations About Calling the Garridos JWs
by undercover inthis thread contains my thoughts after having read several other threads regarding the garridos being jws.... just because it is reported that the garridos are jws doesn't mean that they are really witnesses.... they may have some link to jws such as her being rasied one, his studying while in prison or any number of possibilites where they came to know a little about jwism.. even if they were baptized along the way somewhere doesn't mean that they were active, participating members in the local congregation.. there's a lot wrong with the jw religion and it's policies have helped protect pedophiles and other sexual predators from being brought to justice but i have reservations about shouting from the rooftops that the garridos were jws, when 1) it hasn't been confirmed and 2) it really doesn't do anything to expose the wt society's culpability in covering up sexual abuse.. the garridos are truly whacked.
i'm sure that local jws are just as horrified at what's happened as the average person is.
if the garridos had any connection with a local hall, i bet that the local jws were wary of them due to his nuttiness.

It was alleged in a blog somewhere that Nancy attended the Leavenworth Kingdom Hall when Philip was in the pen.
But, attendance is not an indication that she was baptized.
If she or Phillip were ever baptized there are cards on them somewhere in some Kingdom Hall, you can be sure of that.
Is there anyone here from Leavenworth, Ks. or Antioch, Ca. who can check for us?

Bulgaria Police Arrest Suspect in Ritual Murder Case
by TheOldHippie inbulgarian police have arrested thursday evening a 52-year old man in connection with the savage murder of elena tomova, a devoted jehovah's witnesses follower.. the news was reported friday by haskovo.net.. tomova's body was discovered tuesday by her son-in law in her faraway villa in the village of vlado trichkov, near the town of svoge, northeast of sofia.. the murderer choked her to death, cut a cross with a knife on her body, cut off her left breast, wrapped her in her bed as if she was sleeping, and finally drew a cross on her head with blood as well as crosses all around the house.. after searching the house of simeon simeonov in the village of rogozino, near the southern town of harmanli, officers from sofia police found a knife with a 16-centimeter blade with traces of blood the forensic team believes belong to tomova.. police also found some of tomova's underwear inside simeonov's house.
in addition to the evidence, investigators discovered many religious books and brochures similar to those located in tomova's villa.. tomova is known to have been a devoted follower of jehovah's witnesses and the residents of the village are convinced that the murder has to do with her involvement with the religious sect.. on thursday, the jehovah's witnesses in bulgaria sent a letter to the media denying any connection with the brutal murder.. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::.
terrible thing; but i don't quite understand the final sentence..

If the Cross and Crown is a phallic symbol to one group does not mean it is to all groups. A swastika to one person can be a good luck symbol, while to a Nazi or someone else it is an anti-Semetic symbol.

The 2 prisons I visit have JWs who also visit on a regular basis. I see JWs women who also visit at the women's prison, but it is always a man who is in charge.

A Lexicon of WT Invective - Wiki Style
by Farkel ini'm starting this thread for fun.
and to let us blow off some steam, too.
most of us spent years or decades in an organization that hurled tons of invective against their "enemies" (everyone else was their enemy).
