the desert areas of central australia, the so-called 'red heart' of the nation, still has a significant population of original australians.

and many of them seem to have difficulty with the law.*.

that's a very brief and simplistic introduction to this video of prison guards in the alice springs jail, manhandling a young boy.

"Worlds Apart" A danish movie about a young coming of age Jehovahs Witness , screening on SBS2 tonight in Victoria
by smiddy in
1. jw
2. friends
i know their have been screenings of this movie before , but this notice is for any newbies here that may not have seen it previously.

it is scheduled to screen at 10:25 pm on ch.32 sbs2 sun.25/8/13 .

maybe other states in australia can view it on-line , or request it be shown by sbs in their state.. it is an interesting movie , and apart from minor flaws , pretty accurate despite the beard,though i am told the danes are a bit more liberal than the west.. the real / actual jehovahs witness this story is based on has a cameo appearance near the end of this movie in the train sequence.. please let me know if you watch it and your thoughts about it .. smiddy.

2. friends
i was told by a family member the other day "if you want to leave jehovah, go ahead.

but don't think you'll ever be happy.

all the people i know who have left got burned by the world and they come back to the truth".

Are you thankful to know TTAT or not?
by laverite in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i am so thankful that i was able to learn the truth about the truthtm (ttatt).

i owe everything in my life to having left watchtower corp: my education, my position as a college professor, being able to write and publish, travel, family life, my beautiful children, being able to be openly gay -- and happy.

unlike those closeted homosexuals in the truthtm, i do not have to be afraid to be who i am.
