Just curious . Did Obama ever get involved with giving his opinions on different court cases or police making arrests??
Yes. He just wasn't a prolific user of Twitter.

This forum was a huge help to me in leaving the organization.
My concern is with the legal liability that posting these links can pose to this forum. I'd hate for it to go away. It's a great resource and historical archive of the exjw movement of the turn of the century.
I suggest, if you want to share copyrighted productions like this, just ask people to send you a private message. Far less legal exposure to the forum that way.
I'm sure Mike and Kim didn't upload these videos to their YouTube channel for the same reason: risk of copyright strikes and loss of their channel.

I know everyone wants to see this, but isn’t it against forum rules to post content that violates copyright laws?

*WARNING SUICIDE RELATED POST
by Annamouse inbit of background: a couple of years ago i was reproved after i slept with a brother that i was in love with but we were not married.
in fairness, the elders were kind and supportive.
the problem is, i had always been the model witness before that.

In fairness, the elders were kind and supportive.
They were supportive of you having sex before marriage? That’s a surprise as JWs think that’s wrong.
I support anyone having the freedom to choose to have sex consensually with other adults.
But I seriously doubt those elders were truly supportive of your choice.
I think if you objectively look back on that, you’ll see that they were not supportive and were only gaslighting you so they could exert control over your personal decisions.

How Many Here Remember Hearing Details from the Platform on Why a Person was Reproved or DF'd ???
by RubaDub ini just had this flashback when commenting on another thread about how they used to announce reproof or dfing from the platform.
at least in our congregation, it was a dramatic event (this is what i can remember from back in the mid-late 60's or early 70's when i was a kid).. at the end of the service meeting, just before singing the final song, the brother would announce, "we have a letter that must be read.
the "congregation servant" (my grandfather or later my father) would then slowly walk from the back of the kh to the platform.

I remember it from the early 80's.
Mid 80's they simplified it into two different announcements: one for disfellowshippings and a different one for disassociations.
Then, in the 90's, it was just one announcement. "So-and-so are no longer a Jehovah's Witness."
As recently as 2015 (the last year I attended), they would still give a talk during that month's local needs section related to the particular sin.
I vividly remember at least three of the local needs parts given in months where I was already aware of what someone was being disciplined for. Apostasy, Wife Swapping, Adultery.

Proportional Representation vs Electoral Collages
by Simon inthe craziness of first-past-the-post elections .... we'll no doubt have to now live through the scotts demanding another referendum, because we may take their lands, but we will never take their freedom!
and so they want to be free of the uk, where they have a disproportionate influence in parliament, and be a little dot that's part of the eu.
yup, freedom.. but anyway, as it stands right now they have 48 seats after getting 1.2m votes.

Does Scotland have its own parliament?
If so, in what way do they not rule themselves?
(I'm a Texican, so I'm genuinely asking these questions because I'm ignorant to the subject matter, but am interested in the subject matter and want to educate myself as to these details.)

Will Armageddon Survivors Be Able to Marry?
by Expanded-Mind inhi blondie!.
thirteen years ago you commented on an idea circulating among some jws prior to 1975, that there was a possibility that armageddon survivors might not be able to marry.. "these vows that honor god are used—not from the bible but the only ones sanctioned by the wts.. for as long as we both shall live together on earth according to god's marital arrangement.. when i was in my 20’s, many jws interpreted this to mean that at some point in the 'new system' marriage would end.
since this was shortly before 1975, many jws rushed to get married worried that they would never have the chance (and never have the chance to have sex.
