Welcome!!
My advice is to read the "Active topics" list which will give you a real fast update on what topics are "hot". When you notice that you really "like" the way a few posters respond - go to the "members list" and read the "topics posted" by these individuals. You will soon find yourself a feeling a part of this community! Have fun!!

Here is an Obituary from my local paper. I have removed all personal info before posting.
Her loving husband thanks Jehovah God that he had x
years with a wonderful woman. A woman who at
age 13 dedicated her life to obeying a command
Jesus gave all his followers (Matt 24:14). For x
years she visited people telling the message
described at John 17:3. She looks forward to the
government of all governments described at Dan
2:44. The government all Christians were told to
pray for in the Lord's prayer (Matt 6:9,10). She
now rests in deaths sleeping awaiting a resurrection
to life anew as promised at John 5:28,29.

1. Islam calls sects within itself or former members 'apostates'.
2. Islam calls itself 'the only true religion'.
3. Family members shun (and sometimes kill) anyone who was born into this religion and later rejects its teachings.
4. The religion uses 'brainwashing' to control its members.
These are only a few items out of many that could be listed. I have made a web-page with many links to help in my research.- My Islamic Links Page
Can anyone help me find an ex-muslim discussion forum that is the same quality as JWD is for ex-dubs??
Thanks

The doctrine of the Tri-Part man.
by LittleToe inrecently there have been discussions about the immortal soul, v's the wts beliefs, so i thought i'd present a little heard of (in jw circles) doctrine of the soul that seeks to explain some passages of scripture that are usually avoided.. first of all, leo posted some fascination information, which gives some background on the bible's general teaching on the soul:.
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/11/80742/1319806/post.ashx#1319806.
the doctrine itself surrounds two texts in particular, which i quote from the nwt:.

TimB,
Don't you think that if this bill passes, it would help to make public the 'hidden' sex offenders within the JW community? A sex offender usually does NOT LIMIT their abusive behavior to ONE place ie within the JW community only. Doesn't it make sense that if a JW who gets caught 'outside' of the JW community may be able to move to another place/state where he did not have a record and join another JW community only to re-offend again. Without being listed in a national data base, the new area may not have the needed information to protect his future potential victims?
Sorry, I still disagree with you.
The consequences of committing a sex abuse crime should be thought of BEFORE someone offends in the first place. This is a serious crime. It is not the same as stealing a cookie out of the cookie jar. -

I have not been posting to this forum in quite some time. Since I was a regular poster, another person has joined the forum who uses the name 'new light' or 'newlight'. This is not me. We are 2 different people. I just thought it best to make this point clear to everyone here.

TimB: "I don't think we should permanantly mark people who have served their sentence."
1988: Mary Foley and Carrie Coonrod are raped and killed by recently released repeat rapists David Anthony Thomas and Thomas Schwartz.
1999: Katie Poirier was killed by released sex offender Donald Blom.
2003: Dru Sjodin killed by released sex offender Alfonso Rodriguez Jr. after serving his 23 year long sentance. Rodriguez was a model prisoner.
That is FOUR lives that were taken by sex offenders who had served their time in prison and were released! I'm 100% sure that many more deaths could also be found with some research into the matter.
I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with you. Dru would be alive today if sex offender Alfonso Rodriguez Jr not been released to the general public after serving his so-called "time in prison".

"Notorious crimes have inspired legislative
steps to toughen Minnesota's criminal sanctions.
1988: Mary Foley and Carrie Coonrod are
raped and killed in Minneapolis parking ramps
by recently released repeat rapists David
Anthony Thomas and Thomas Schwartz.
1989: Legislature more than doubles prison
terms for rape and increases the minimum time
to be served on a life sentence from 17 years to
30 years.
Aug. 31, 1994: Legislature in special session
unanimously broadens civil commitment law to
include repeat rapists like Dennis Linehan, who
was about to be released. Civil commitments
increase dramatically in years that follow.
1996: State passes first program to notify
residents when released high-risk sex offenders
move into a neighborhood. Patty Wetterling,
whose son Jacob was abducted in 1989 and
never found, helps organize a statewide
coalition on community notification.
1999: Katie Poirier abducted from a Moose
Lake convenience store and killed by released
sex offender Donald Blom.
2000: Legislature again doubles prison terms for
first-degree criminal sexual conduct, to a
minimum of 12 years."

Please contact your Senator/Rrepresentatives and ask them to support Bills S 2154 HR 3929 (AKA "Dru's Law") to establish a National sex offender registration database.
http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/5096002.html
"Friends and relatives of Dru Sjodin have established a new Web site -- www.drusvoice.com -- to promote passage of "Dru's Law," a proposed national registry of sex offenders. The Senate bill, sponsored by the four U.S. senators from North Dakota and Minnesota, and a companion House resolution are in committees."
Email your Senators:

Sample Letter:
http://www.drusvoice.com/sample_letter.htm
Dear Senator (or Representative)_________________:
Please support the National Sex Offender Registry Act of 2004....Dru's Law. Sexual
predators are a frightening problem in our society and it's time to do everything within our
power to ensure the safety of our unsuspecting and vulnerable citizens. Passing this bill and
having a national registery accessible on the internet will be an important step toward
creating awareness. Where there is awareness there is caution.
This bill will make our country and our society a safer place in which to live. Dru's Law CAN
MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Please support this life-saving bill.
Sincerely,
XXXXXXXXX
