The family and the deceased are personally known by a number of people within the XJW community here in Australia, including friends of mine. They are in mourning, like many of us, but especially for the children. A tragic situation for all.

Honoring a Fallen Marine
by compound complex in"over a year ago, i volunteered to escort the remains of marines killed in iraq should the need arise.
the military provides a uniformed escort for all casualties to ensure they are delivered safely to the next of kin and are treated with dignity and respect along the way.

A lot in Australia have been woken up and a lot have left. This I know as I continually receive phone calls and messages from them as well as personally talking to them at meetups.
Oh, and I have received the odd Xmas card from former JWs. I think it was their way of expressing they had woken up.

BOOK REVIEW
Spoiler alert ... Jesus dies. Putin bans Jehovah's Witnesses. The end doesn't come. No pictures.
But more seriously, any book about the JWs that can somehow weave together a story about "jehovah," "pink vagina hats" and "sex with robots" (page 224) is a must read for all current elders and those rank-and-file Jehovah's Witnesses under the control of the Watchtower corporation.
4 stars out of 5.

Lost in Space -Netflix- No spoilers.
by smiddy3 ini have just finished watching the first series 10 episodes and at first i was just a little bit curious and not to sure about it however it certainly grew on me .. it deviates from the old tv series and has a slightly more darker side to it as well as being a bit more modern with life situations judy being coloured and adopted ,and john and maureen a couple with issues and the robot is just out of this world .lets not forget dr.smith as a female and more sinister than her counterpart of the tv series.. i would rate it 8.5 out of 10 .
and look forward to the next series and hope that their is one because i definitely think it has a future .. anybody else seen it ?

Grew up on the original series and loved it as a child. Watched the movie with Matt LeBlanc and didn't like it.
Don't have Netflix but thanks for the review.

Do Jehovah's Witnesses Shun Former Members of Their Religion
Those who were baptized as Jehovah’s Witnesses but no longer preach to others, perhaps even drifting away from association with fellow believers, are not shunned. In fact, we reach out to them and try to rekindle their spiritual interest.
We do not automatically disfellowship someone who commits a serious sin. If, however, a baptized Witness makes a practice of breaking the Bible’s moral code and does not repent, he or she will be shunned or disfellowshipped. The Bible clearly states: “Remove the wicked man from among yourselves.”—1 Corinthians 5:13.
What of a man who is disfellowshipped but whose wife and children are still Jehovah’s Witnesses? The religious ties he had with his family change, but blood ties remain. The marriage relationship and normal family affections and dealings continue.
Disfellowshipped individuals may attend our religious services. If they wish, they may also receive spiritual counsel from congregation elders. The goal is to help each individual once more to qualify to be one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Disfellowshipped people who reject improper conduct and demonstrate a sincere desire to live by the Bible’s standards are always welcome to become members of the congregation again.

Fay Dehr - Are they becoming mainstream? They now have a Relief Fund!
Wait...sorry, that relief fund contains just £26 (of the £1m+ funds total - the rest is for building the real estate property empire). Still, £26 would buy 13 cups of coffee for the homeless. It's a start, bless 'em...Are you kidding. There's only one type of coffee the anally retentive Tony Morris III would drink. A coffee made from beans squeezed through the ass of a cat, namely a Kopi Luwak coffee for €85.
