Wow just finished watching it. She was a typical fresh faced super christian looking white girl married to a black brother. Both characters looked & played the part of JW's very well. It will obviously open the public eyes a bit more but never quite enough !!! Shame it wasnt publicised more to Jo Public before the program was aired !!!

CASUALTY - BBC TV
by St George of England indid not see this as i cannot stand the programme personally, but tonight's episode was about a jw mother who died after refusing a blood transfusion.
they apparently dealt with all the disfellowshipping, shunning etc.
sounds like good advertising!.

Old freind from old jw life, trying to get in touch...
by highdose ini happened to access my old email address today.
amongst the many spams etc was a email from a old jw freind i used to know when i was in.
this was a nice freind to me, right up until she got herself a boyfreind and then just didn't want to know, in fact i hadn't heard from her since.

Test the water and see what she wants. Explain how lovely things are and then let her get to the punchline. This way you can then choose to ignore her if she's just after a free holiday !!!

Why would abandoning 1914 mean they are not chosen by God?
by InterestedOne ini've read here that if the wt admits 607 is wrong or if 1914 is wrong, the logical result is that god did not choose them as his org.
can someone explain to me how that logically follows?.
couldn't they just say, "we have received new light on that, have learned that we cannot give a specific date (like how they abandoned 1935), but look, we adhere to the bible more strictly than anyone else, we strive to 'keep the cong clean' more than any other group, etc., so therefore, we must be chosen by god as his only org.

When I was studying I was told that from as early as the late 1890's etc Bible Students were walking around with plackard boards on stating 'Repent The End is Nigh' & that 1914 was a marked year. I was also made to believe that they had correctly prophesied this date & as evidence World War I broke out. This alone made the JW's look like Gods Chosen People. I was even told that the Catholic Church had also apparently acknowledged 1914 as the end of the Gentile Times (and a newspaper announcement had published this), but Catholics had chose to brushed it off as nothing. All this made the JW's look awesome because of their ability to Prophesy Accurately..
Unfortunately for the WBTS many JW's came in during the 90's and were also taught the same as me. Now if suddenly 1914 was dropped & brushed under the carpet it would have a huge impact on its worshippers, because many only joined the JW's because they thought they had seen spectacular evidence of their ability to fortell the future. So like me others also adopted the belief that they must be Gods Visible Organisation based on the evidence that they had been given - Remove the belief, removes the so called evidence making the WBTS clearly False Prophets !

Are you a fader, Df'd, DA'd, or Still In?
by brotherdan ini thought this would be an interesting poll that would show everyone the backgrounds of all of us when we left, if we have.. for myself, i am not df'd, but i am attempting a fade.
i still go to some meetings with the wife to help with kids, but that's it.
no commenting or field service.. what about everyone else?.

I'm faded. I had my jolly good arguement with those of my congregation on my doorstep hoping I'd get df'd but it didnt work !!! So I think I'm a successful fade :P

So Caitlin isn't ignored as the other kids pass Valentines at school
by cabasilas ini'm getting my education degree this year and am working in a practicum placement in an elementary classroom (5th grade).
it's a very practical way to see first-hand how teachers teach, discipline and help mold their students.
one student is a jw.

Beautiful idea regarding the friendship cards, but I bet the JW parents will frown on this because she has formed friendships with the World !!!

I spent 20 years looking over my shoulder and trying to be the Best JW Possible....
Slaving for the Borg I felt that somehow all my efforts would make up for my indiscretion and that my earnest efforts were earning me brownie points & making me clean & an upstanding JW ..
Yet I never ever felt clean & always felt disgusted with myself ... It affected my married life for years...
God do I feel such a FOOL :(
If there was a God of love he would NEVER want this....
