  The people on this site are mostly honest and honesty is not always what you want to hear.

  I like the site for the fact that it offers people some support... maybe even friends.

  eight family members killed in mexico massacremexico | november 17, 2013. mexican police found sunday a family of eight, including three children, stabbed to death and tied down in their home in the northern city of ciudad juarez.. a two-year-old boy survived the attack and was handed to neighbors, local police said.. the chihuahua state prosecutor's office said the assailants apparently forced their way inside the house and killed two men, three women and three children between the ages of four and six.. their mouths were covered with duct tape and their hands and feet were tied.

  neighbors said they heard gun shots but authorities said the victims had stab wounds.. neighbors said the house owner was a car salesman.. the family was supposed to attend a meeting of jehovah's witnesses when they were attacked inside their home on sunday morning, according to testimonies.. they were discovered dead after members of the congregation went to look for them.. ciudad juarez, which borders the us state of texas, was once the deadliest city in mexico amid a turf war between drug cartels.. more than 10,000 people have been killed in the city since 2006 but the murder rate began to decline in 2011.. local officials say the drop in violence is due to tougher policing and crime prevention programs, but security experts believe it began to wane after the sinaloa drug cartel defeated the rival juarez gang.. read latest breaking news from newsmax.com http://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/mexico-crime-murder/2013/11/17/id/537112#ixzz2kziajt8f.

  Adamah... you MUST agree that even when you are NOT under their controll you would get mad as the mad hatter! Not because you want to be a JW but just about how downright dumb and foolish that guy is! I personally think it has more to do with the elder then with the doctrine... you must really be insane to even make such a notion (about the shoes).

  These elders would die if they ever come to holland on Kings Day. There would be a lot of JW's here who would be DF because of wearing orange and going to all the festivals that day. What a bunch of clowns!

  Why has nobody started a petition or writing letters to congress, etc?

  by EndofMysteries in

  i can't be in the spotlight as starting this because of a family member.

  but i wonder why there is no big change.org type petition going on with hundreds of thousands of signatures, etc.

  or putting together a nice letter about how jw's religion breaks up families, claims to want religious freedom but those of us born in, or just in, are forced to accept their lies and anything they say or get shunned, and the devastating emotional, etc, effects on people.

  A revolution starts if a lot of people feel the same way and want to act accordingly... that is where the problems start to begin: many of those who leave have different reasons and many have different family situations. So although a lot of people get shunned some just do not care too much. Also... what I notice is that MOST people that leave will have changed there lives within a couple of years and will have recovered mostly of their cultperiod. They do not feel the need to get others out or to help them by starting a war. It is much easier to change your life then to start a war you most probably won't win.

  WT's 2 BOE Letters Flip-Flop!

  by JW GoneBad in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  everyone knows about the recent across-the-board okay to use electronic devices in jw worship.

  few, though, know about how not long ago it was considered a taboo.. first, there was that dc talk a couple of years back where they nearly demonized simply the ownership of a smart phone, ipads (i phones, blackberries, etc) let alone the use of them at meetings.

  they brought out that they were a waste of time, expensive and that they exposed a christian to satan's world on the internet.

  I would laugh my ass off if someone is watching porn when on the meeting and forgets to get the "sound" off...

  as many know i have not been visiting meetings since one and a half year but it eats from the inside that i am still connected to this organisation (or any other religious filth).. i have the idea i am standing still and now i finally took a moment to write down a letter which i am planning to post on fb and to close friends in the new year.

  i will probably send a smaller one to the hall to make it official there.

  i will not do it earlier on because i am with family early december/januari but after that blam!.

  I think there is only one reason why they would "approve"... it costs a lot less money if all the bro's and sisters are using downloaded material. Think about millions of watchtowers less to print.
