I was unkind & I am deeply sorry
by Dolosus inearly this morning, i was stopped at a service station dealing with a mechanical issue with my motorcycle.
i was approached by 2 young men who pro-offered some of your reading material.
i deeply regret that i was very unkind; in actual fact, i was quite mean in my response to them.

Those people you mistreated did not deserve it, but since they are an extension and the voice of their very despicable leaders, just assume that the mistreatment was directed to their leaders, who deceive, manipulate and exploit the rank and file witnesses. You are actually a very good person, don't think too much about what happened. Witnesses are used to that treatment and they will have to get used to much worse once the world learns the truth about their leaders. For starters google "pedophiles and Jehovah's witnesses" or the Australian Royal Commission, or false prophecies, or shunning. -

"Bigots" has a bad connotation.
Use a different term, such as "discriminating person"... oh wait, I forgot, that word ("discriminate" and all its cognates) also lost its neutral and acceptable original meaning. Oh well, you are out of luck. Sorry. You can't voice your opinion, lest it be shocking to some.

Advice will be coming soon from people who know better. My personal opinion. Run! The religion is the first problem. The second and biggest problem is the guy. He is in a JW family and he doesn't have the guts to go against it. I am not sure what's worse a devout JW or a nominal JW who wants to quit but doesn't have the guts to do so. Either way: Run! -

Evolutionists Who Are Against Darwinism
by Perry inthis is a nice list of evolutionary scientists and their quotes regarding the impossibility of naturalism or materialism being able to account for life as it is observed :.
evolutionists against darwinism.
most, while sympathetic and respectful of their more committed colleagues, are disparaged as morons for not carrying the materialism banner as a religion, as a matter of faith.

Sad,
Hearing about Satan since birth, a brain that is at the brink of madness, and then discouragement from seeking help from worldly professionals was the perfect recipe for this tragedy.
Assuming that Fernanda was in a devout JW household, then good part of the blame goes to the Watchtower teachers.
So much for Jehovah's blessing bestowed on JW's

Thanks old goat,
Most places in the bookfinder.com want $60 dollars or more. I only found two places under 30.00. Not a great deal for a used book, but I had waited too long. I am now waiting for its arrival.
Thanks

If I want objective and scholarly writing, Penton is my favorite author. My only issue is that the price of his other book dealing with JW's in Germany is still very expensive (around $45.00). I found a copy in the library, but it's only for consultation. -

What went wrong in your congregation?
by The Rebel inthe target is converts.. why does it seem such an outrageous aim for a congregation to recruit new converts?.
in my old congregation, the enthusiasm was there but the knocking on doors produced zero " baptisms" in my final years.. a) why so little interests?.
b) was it the internet ?.

Welcome Silvia,
You make a great point. I have been in your shoes many, many times, even in my own house while hosting 20 or 30 JW's. It didn't bother me much, until I discovered that the leaders are full of it and they know it. Not only that, they are willing to use their BS to manipulate, control, enslave, and ultimately ruin many a life.
The internet is their biggest problem. Another problem is the training that JW's get. It's mechanical, staged, no passion, no conviction, no zeal. I don't blame them, too much BS and cult tactics prevent the production of great preachers.

My 67 Year Old Elder Brother Is Depressed Because The Younger Elders Are Taking Over
by minimus inhe was the school overseer but they relieved him of that to allow younger elders the privilege of the job.
now he is depressed and actually shed tears, believing his worth has diminished.

My two cents,
In the organization or outside of the organization, our abilities diminish as we age. Even if our skills remain sharp, we should allow younger ones to take positions of responsibility so they can train and be able to handle the job on their own.
What happened to your brother is a fact of life in any sphere of the human experience. We are born, we mature, we age into decrepitude, we die. We should accept this cycle and happily train and pass the responsibility to the younger ones. Your brother has a selfish, rather narrow-minded view of his role in the big picture.
