i think immigration should check his papers, but i'll be darned if i can figure out what country he'd be deported to.

why would the makers of this dvd use such a ridiculous accent?.

it's cool, but it's "non-spiritual" style, not for "true" jw, isn't it ?!

A missing husband or wife.

do you remember, in which "reader's question" was an article about cases, when a husband officially declared as a missing?.

(probably he is dead or captured by somali pirates...).

i remember, that article was very strange- there was stated that it would be possible to make a divorce.... but if such missed person will "ressurect", this couple must get married again!.

Jehovah's Witness Radio/TV Station?
by ilikecheese in
1. jw

in terms of christian ministries, radio and tv stations/shows are such an effective tool.

i've worked in christian media, and i can see the impact that it has on people.

if you have a pastor who knows their stuff, is crazy passionate about it, and is a little less loony and more empathetic, they can really get a lot of people interested.

me and my friends have already organized "association of former jehovahs witnesses.".

we want to stand for rights of ex-jw's, and those who are still suffer in organization and almost blind.. now we make some interviews on a television, take part in some lectures about how dangerous jw could be, keep in touch with "worldly" relatives, who want to save their family members.... in russia we still dont have a kind of psychological help, hotline or office.

we planning to establish this.

i am from russia, and i've ben a jw for a 19 years of my life, since my early childhood.last 5-6 years that i spend my time in the organization, it was only because my family, close friends, and a girlfriend.i've been a pioneer for a 6 years, but my favorite kind of ministry was construction of kingdom halls!

(because there was a lot of humour, creative young people, young and pretty sisters, etc.

;)i still have very good memories about that period...nearly before i finally quit, i was disfellowshipped for a 1 year and 4 months.in that time i 've reed a "crisis of concience" and "in search for christian freedom", and give those book to my mom,she already was inactive, and having a serious doubts.but i was too naive!i decided to comeback into organization- cause of my girlfriend and friends.and remain there as a "double agent" or a spy))i had to pass through all the way to be reinstated...when i 'came back', i had a bad surprise: the elders decided that i need to study some publications again,for my "reabilitation".
