by pale.emperor inabsolutely thrilled to give you the news that my younger brother, a zealous full-time pioneer has left the witnesses!!.

Striking Out On My Own
by Saethydd inthose of you who know my story are aware that i'm currently disfellowshipped and living with my parents.
up until now, my plan has been to be reinstated and then fade, but recently my plans have changed.
in a conversation with my mother a few days ago and she made it clear that she would not be okay with me getting reinstated with the purpose of going inactive.

Well done for securing a place to rent. And it's admirable that you're reaching out to friends and family and leaving the door open to contact you.
This way WT can't spin it and say it was your decision to shun, just your decision to leave WT not your family and friends

Marc & Cora on YouTube causing unnecessary divisions
by jambon1 inwhat is it with this pair?
why do they have to constantly have a bitch about guys like john cedars?
a very recent video of them shows them calling him a 'village idiot' and making other disparaging claims.

I have watched all of Cedars videos about the ban and all of Marc and Cora's.
I think Cedars was better produced and his message had a better structure.
They both interviewed Steven Hassan and he supported Cedars view of the ban will not achieve freedom for Russian JWs. Although Marc and Cora seem to think he supported them, which he clearly did not.
As for the mud slinging and drama. They all give as good as they get. I think it's immature but interesting to watch, as they are all free and can go on YouTube and behave as they wish. It makes them all look silly. But it's fun.
Finally Cedars did apologise for his flow chart.

Well I am voting for Corbyn despite him not being popular, he talks a lot about affordable housing, employment law, he wants to do something about zero hours contracts and agency work.
Big business and wealthy landlords are taking advantage of the next generation who are on low wages.
At least Corbyn is talking about these issues.

Cirencester Congregation UK: My story
by erbie indear all,.
i have been a member here for some years although mostly in the background.
many of you have bravely shared your own experiences and i am very grateful for that but i have never been open about my own experience.. nevertheless, i would be very grateful to those of you who would now take the time to read about my own personal journey from the jw religion and the circumstances that caused me to abandon that way of life and how i landed up where i am.

Apologists saying that the JWs shouldn't be banned, what the hell!??
by Crazyguy init's been brought to my attention that there are xjw that say they support the witnesses and don't think russia should ban them.
i would just like to remind all of you that jws are guilty of murder, causing higher rates of suicide, covering up child molestation, and keeping members in prisoned because if they leave they loose family, financial support, possible employment etc.. sure their not strapping bombs to their chests but they easily get members to kill themselves with their blood policies.
they are an extremist group!

I think the ban will make it worse for child abuse victims to report the crime to the police and less likely the elders report to the police as they are committing a crime by congregating.

There is no proof or evidence either way, but your points are logical.

Atheism = self defeating.
by towerwatchman inatheism = self defeating.
first may we define our terms.
the word atheism comes literally from the greek, alpha the negative and theos [for god], therefore “negative god” or there is no god.

Care to show where professor Dawkins stated that? I have a feeling that the mistake was yours alone and that professor Dawkins didn't make any such claim.
I have just re-read it and it's clearly misleading and he is not clear they are still foxes, the paragraph makes it sound like they are now dogs.
The Greatest show on earth, top of page 76.

Either way at the end you have a domesticated fox.
Thank you for correcting me, Dawkins lead me to believe they changed species to dogs and wolves. I am glad I know the scientific fact now. There was no species evolution in this experiment.
