  This is my email I sent also................. A friend of mine in the USA sent you this email with regards to Christian Longo. As a former Jehovah's witness (all of my life until age 50) I can understand the damage his association with that religion has done to his conscience. You virtually are trained to rely on them to tell you what is right and what is wrong. Essentially you have no conscience without their direction. They say you develop a Bible trained conscience but that is actually not true at all. I feel very badly for him, and cannot understand why he would be moved to kill his entire family. It is a senseless tragedy. He seems emotionless and talks about his kids as if they are still there, and not dead at his own hands. Jehovah's witnesses have the practice of disfellowshipping which sends many members "over the edge" to many immoral life styles after they are victimized by the organization in this way. Some are driven to suicide because they feel there is no hope for them anymore. Their families and former friends will have nothing to do with them any longer, and they become despondent. If their job happens to be in a company of JW's, they lose their job and thus their means of making a living. The scandal at times ruins their reputation, and if it isn't public knowledge, it soon becomes public through the congregation gossip mill. It's all very sad. I can only back her up in what she says, I can not put it in better words. I was a Jehovah's Witness for 17 years. In addition to the above - The Witnesses say they do not break up families and that they build strong ones. This is true, if you are able to live with their beliefs and never question the Governing Bodies interpretations of the scriptures. I found that I was always pressured to do more and more, reach one goal and the carrot moved further away. I never felt good enough in God's eyes, being a Jehovah's Witnesses. This alone can make a person crack, emotionally, even violently as in the Longo trial. I was on anti depressants for a while, at one time feeling like ending it all. I don't want to sound like I am condoning the terrible things Christian Longo as done. I just hope that this and emails from others will help you and the jury have a balanced view. Thank you for reading this, [Qwerty]

  Letter Read Last Night

  by Intuit39 in

  hey bro, i just thought it may interest you to know that they read a letter last night describing how they need to build a new printing facility up at patterson that will be the size of two assembly halls.

  they will be getting all new printing machines to be shipped from all over the world, and they will need many volunteers for the project to be completed by january 2004. and we should all realize that this is going to be at a tremendous cost, the buildings alone should cost about 60,000,000 dollars.

  please start praying about what we can do, yada, yada, yada.

  Someone already may have said this above ...............BUT!

  It's been pointed out on another topic started by Dogpatch, that Furman complex is up for sale!

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/53565/1.ashx

  Silly question but, why would the WTS want to ask for help funding the new printing factory?!!!!!!

  The sale of Furman building will more than cover the costs!

  Any old friends aboard from the MTS?

  i've been lurking on the fringes of this site for a week or two and was just wondering whether there is anybody else here that i knew from the ministerial training school.

  i was second to apostasise from my class (that being the fifth in britain, 1992) and thought it would be good to know if anybody else was here.

  also, while i'm at it, if there's anybody with a connection to norwich thorpe congregation or with information on sarah brett it would be good to hear from you too.
