Nevuela: I'm sorry, but I don't see how he was rude.
Just because you say he was rude, does not make it true.
The point is this: if it's okay to be anti-cult, anti-JW, then it's okay to be anti-Islam.
Stop defending this misogynist, homophobic cult.
i had given serious consideration too leaving the board.
i rationalised my views on " muslims" we're not held by the majority so i should leave.
but this would have been wrong thinking, instead i should appreciate the platform i was given to debate with free speech.

Imagine if I said: "I find myself wanting to visit this board less due to the rabid anti-JW sentiment which dominates on here."
Why is it okay to criticize JWs and be anti-JW, but not okay to criticize Islam and be anti-Islam?
All of us ExJWs recognize the harm that the teachings of the JW cult inflicts.
Why is it so hard for you to recognize the harm that the teachings of the cult of Islam inflicts?
They have traded one ideology for another, with no evidence of having learned anything from their experience as a JW.
Pot, meet kettle.

FYI: I hate the Clintons and supported Bernie. This has nothing to do with right-wing hatred for the Clintons. It has to do with hating horrible people like Hillary.
i just watched the live feed from the russian court room and followed the updates on the russian exjw forum.. just waiting for confirmation from other sources...but, it looks like the final (and expected) result is:.
banned.
which means that the wts property in russia now belongs to the russian state..
So, how does that revenge at the expense of the brainwashed masses feel?
How do you ban supporters feel knowing that the GB has yet another persecution horse to beat?
For me? I'm devastated because I know how well this ban will play to the cognitive biases of my family who are still in.
Shame.

we're currently watching leah remini's series about scientology and the main thing she seems to focus on is the shunning policies of the scientology organization which let's face it are very similar to jw procedure.. i was wondering with all that's in the media recently about bullying could a petition be put together to get the goverment to consider making religiously mandated shunning illegal?
has such a thing been tried before?.
https://petition.parliament.uk/help says the following - .
Am I right in saying that in Bulgaria it's illegal for someone to be disfellowshipped for having a blood transfusion?
You aren't disfellowshipped anymore for accepting a blood transfusion. They say that you have disassociated yourself.
We all know that's the same thing. But it's worded differently so is a loophole.
this is the kind of government you are supporting.. over 100 gay men have been sent to concentration camps for homosexuals in chechnya and three people have been killed.. stop supporting fascism.. if you support the russia jw ban, what other thoughts and beliefs are you ok with policing?.
if you support the jw russia ban, have you read george orwell's 1984?
don't you realize you are advocating for literal fascism when you support the banning of a belief system?
Fascism = when business controls government
You might want to read up on Fascism.
It can be defined as "a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control"... That's what's occurring. Beyond your semantics, this ban is an affront to liberty and freedom.You wanna talk about being myopic? BANS DON'T WORK ON JWs. We already know this. Yet some think banning the entire religion is A-OK in their book.
JW's take bans, and use it as fuel for propaganda like this:
