These places are accepting people regardless of religious affiliation. How many Kingdom Halls are open to the general public certainly there are plenty of them in that area?.... ZERO! Why!?!?!?!!?

Here is a listing of all the Kingdom Halls in Northern California feel free to contact them and ask about what they are doing to help the general public, perhaps I am wrong and they can clear up why they are not being listed as an evacuation safe haven. ;-)

#Opnewlightpr

by Glad2Bout in

i will post in this thread where the watchtowers pr firm has posted its press releases or where i feel comments need to be made by this community so that the public can make informed choices regarding this religion.

if you feel so inclined and would like to do a good deed, tell people the truth about the watchtower at the bottom of each article that i post here.

post links to websites like watchtowerdocuments.com, jwfacts.com, or to youtubes like mike and kim, dude771, spiker, or even jwfairytale.

So how do we start a Scholorship for JW and EXJW Students?

by Luther bertrand in

it is my contention that jw children are intellectually abused by being brainwashed to not have the choice of pursuing higher education.

so, how do we help these victims?

would a jw/exjw offer some help?

Prescription Drugs and the Fruitage of the Spirit?

by Luther bertrand in

does anyone have a meaningful response to the following question/points: the fruitage of the spirit found at gal.

5:22: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, mildness, kindness.

goodness, faith and self-control, in many way for many people can be increased through the use of anti-anxiety, anti-depressants, and a host of other pharma's.

Does anyone have a meaningful response to the following question/points: The fruitage of the spirit found at Gal. 5:22: Love, Joy, Peace, Long-Suffering, Mildness, Kindness. Goodness, Faith and Self-Control, in many way for many people can be increased through the use of anti-anxiety, Anti-depressants, and a host of other Pharma's. Question: Does this punch a hole in the hypothesis that these qualities are indeed the result of having Gods spirit or does this fact lend it self to a more physicalist/Materialist worldview? Is a physicalist/materialist worldview incompatible with a theistic worldview? Please as a favor to me, keep the responses focused on the drug to fruitage part of my discussion, I can already see I am opening a can of worms and I would just prefer the worms to go in a specific direction.

After leaving what did you Major in?

by Luther bertrand in

i am curious if my observations are correct.

i noticed alot of exjws end up majoring in the social sciences.

i am also interested in what educational choices people have made either while fading or while completely out.

Luther bertrand

Well, It sounds like many of you have really interesting stories. If any of you would be interested in starting an online group on how to make education easier than we had it. I would welcome an private messages. My dream is to create a scholarship funded in large part by exjws for exjws. and create online resources so that those who are fading can get some help.

That is not Greg Stafford. I have met him in person a couple of times, nor does he cut his hair like that and lastly when you zoom in it does look like him.

wow lots of responses! I am trying to think of resources to give to the next round of exjw and fading JWs on how to get through school because I was not aware of all the resources. What did you guys find useful? I have also recognized that many of us fall into the catagory of non-traditional adult learners. Am I wrong?
