I believe an an elder told someone who's daughter (14 YO) became sexually active with a 26 year old in the neighborhood, that maybe they should get married. So, they did... with parental consent. He turned out to be a ex-convict who shot his first wife in the face with a shotgun. It was a nighmare. The elder owned a janatorial company. .

Balaamsass2: Elders to "help re-adjust you" code for: "deal with this apostate".
The Wt is very good at readjusting people. They've had lots of practice. Here, Fred Franz has just completed readjusting the thinking of a questioning Bethelite. Unity has been preserved.

Using the method of theocratic warfare, to get the time off.... I managed to get the problem resolved.
Did you just accuse the Watchtower of teaching you how to lie? How are you ever going to qualify for handling the mics again talking like that?
I can see that Satan has confused you and is trying to turn you into an "evil slave". You have been warned.

Getting sued, taxed, and legislated into oblivion never seems to have occurred to them.
Well, that is the biblical role of government. Nice to see it work for a change.
Romans 13:4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
As a side note,
In the letter to France: funny how they cite the UN for establishing their "basic human right" to not be taxed. I thought the UN was the 7 headed beast and religions ride the beast like a whore pretending to love it but is just there to extract cash.
By their own estimation, the WT shows themselves to just be religious whores.Don't feel bad WT. On the bright side You finally got one prophecy right!

See Romans 14:5-12.
Note that this same argument could be applied to birthdays, anniversary celebrations, etc, etc. This would be an excellent way for the WT to get rid of some of their most ridiculous rules and regulations. Beards and pants are just the tip of the iceberg.Reading the bible is ALWAYS the answer for dealing with fake Christianity that tries to enslave people like the Pharisees did.
"Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls; and he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
5One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind. 6He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord, and he who eats, does so for the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who eats not, for the Lord he does not eat, and gives thanks to God".

I'd say way more than one million people are affected by some form of shunning from exposure to WT theology.
Other than that, great article. I wished we had some data on suicides and deaths caused from alcohol and drug use by former members. That would be more reflective of the actual pain experienced. Only God knows the true cost to society when you include the bad name JW's give to Christians in general.

Was it Designed?
by Jeffro inthe jw website is currently featuring a piece: the shell of the diabolical ironclad beetle—was it designed?
it is part of their regular tedious 'was it designed?
' series that purports that very very specific animal species must have been specifically designed because of some seemingly amazing feature.. but they seem completely unaware that this directly contradicts their notion that only very broad 'kinds' were required on the mythical 'ark'.

A study of Darwin's finches, which live on the Galapagos Islands in the Pacific Ocean, has revealed direct genetic evidence that new species can arise in just two generations.
