I loved reading his book 12 Rules for Life, An Antidote to Chaos. I don't know much about him, but I enjoyed reading the book and took some good points. Either way we all can have an opinion and it is OK to disagree. That's what makes us awesome as humans. Being an ex-born in JW it took a while to realize that since they brain wash conformity...

Jordan Peterson - Messiah or Poseur?
by cofty ina jp video came up on my youtube feed last week - he was on a panel in front of a huge audience and some poor disturbed guy ran on stage and started crying and wailing to peterson that he needed his help.
it was agonising to watch.. what was even more disturbing was the comments section.
i do not exaggerate when i say that dozens of people were extolling peterson's wisdom as if jesus had come again.

Goodness that is awful. Before I left, I was in charge of the Attendants Scheduling and we had 2 always in the lobby and we walked anyone leaving early to their vehicle. Maybe it was a deterrent, however we were unarmed and basically defenseless.
Now that I am out and I have exercised my 2nd amendment rights :-) I will promise you that an attempted assault will result in a hole in their glabella.
What I hate is this as some have commented already, result in a strengthening of the persecution complex even though several american churches have had far worse happen.

A different slant on the Montana Verdict Reversal
by HiddenPimo ini was thinking how the jw's are no doubt going to point to this as a show of jehovah's hand in the matter.. however i think it may also have a negative impact and lead others to learn the truth about the truth.. this ruling does nothing to remove the fact that child abusers were among 'god's people' and the elders did nothing to protect the flock.
regardless of the fine, i think any publicity is good publicity for helping others wake up.
that's just my 2 cents.... and i could be totally wrong as well, but that is what this board is for right :-).

So I didn't want to start a new thread, but I just found this book on Amazon and it is a good read. You can see yourself in all the situations described (I meant I could see myself). Great story of how wild and crazy the JW life was before waking up...

Thanks for this Petra!
So weekday meeting attendance is so bad they don't bother counting it anymore. And we never had had a lot of visitors so i see they acknowledge public talks being slanted towards the publishers... End must be getting close...

Thank you!
"As economic conditions continue to deteriorate"
Well I cannot speak for the UK but here in the USA (Southeast) Jobs are plentiful for those that can work and are willing to. Also if you have an education beyond High School, the high paying jobs are there for the taking.
Perhaps this phrase in the letter is based on within the org, where the majority are uneducated, and are hamstrung by the theocratic schedule that prevents overtime and unfavorable work schedules?
Why no mention of the Satanic Attacks on God's people thru lost lawsuits costing millions? Why no mention of the millions taken in in the USA with never ending contributions to pay for the Kingdom Halls that publishers once owned...
So sad...

Did You Think Jehovah’s Witnesses Were Typically “Racists”?

i grew up with all types of witnesses , all with different backgrounds.

There was plenty of subtle racism in the South, in fact when my parents moved from Buffalo to Spartanburg, SC they were the only white folks in the hall. The congregations were segregated to avoid upsetting the community. When they integrated many did not want to go and there are still to this day many predominate 'black' halls and 'White' halls.
Many gatherings were like this especially in the families. Most folks up north who moved south were not like this and treated everyone the same. I noticed a lot of what I will call reverse racism where there was hidden animosity towards many in the hall. Just my 2 cents/pence...
