  this was posted on fb.. so guys, i'm gonna share something with you all that i think you should know.

  i've only told two people about this (one being john cedars) for fear of getting this guy into trouble, but it's very telling and will reaffirm your "ttatt faith!

  a couple of weeks ago, i had to have an "ability to protect" assessment by a gentleman from a company that also investigates child protection policies etc.

  When my Dad was still an elder around 5 years ago, he mentioned that the book study was moved from homes to hall to reduce liability. Obviously money comes before spiritual gems....

  well i just watched this "epic" video, i would have to say this is probably the most disturbing video yet.

  there campaign to get people back is just pathetic in the most mind-manipulating way.

  "welcome home" or "come back home" are they serious?

  http://www.nltimes.nl/2015/10/22/hague-court-deals-blow-to-scientology-tax-free-status/.

  from the article -"the dutch branch of the church of scientology has lost its tax status as public welfare institution, and the tax benefits that go along with it, in a ruling made by the court in the hague on wednesday.

  the court decided that the sales of the churchs expensive courses and therapy sessions are clearly aimed at making a profit, and thus it does not belong on the tax authorities charity list.".

  Rossi complained post race that Marc had held him up on purpose to let Lorenzo win the title. That's just racing. It happens in our club meets as well.

  Would love to see Rossi do a real race like the TT. He wouldn't last a lap....

  Did an EX-JW wake you up to TTATT or did you put the effort to wake up yourself?

  by John Aquila in

  how many of us were woken up by some apostate yelling false prophets at a convention?.

  how many of us were woken up by someone holding a sign and yelling, what happened to 1975.

  how many of us were coerced to investigate the wt because some ex-jw pulled up a bunch of old watchtowers magazines and told us to read the false predictions?.

  About 8 years ago, we were having a bad time with our 1st daughter and the blood issue. She required surgery for Syringomyelia, a nasty brain and spine condition that results in paralysis. Blood was the only option during surgery, so you can imagine being torn between what the elders wanted us to do and our love for our children.

  I was at an assembly in Newcastle, and helping the accounts department collect all the boxes around the hall, when I got talking to a young brother about our situation and the impending surgery. He is a paramedic and knew all about the processes involving blood. I basically wanted to ask him if it was safe to transfuse.

  His reaction shocked me. He told me all about how the society was misapplying scripture in that the body had to die before blood was poured onto the ground. A person who gives blood is still alive. That night we went home and stayed up 'till late, scratching around for jw info on blood transfusions. Nothing the literature said tallied with the bible about the animal having to be dead.

  That was it for us. No more meetings. No-one called, nobody visited our daughter in hospital, it was as if we had never existed. Which was perfect for us, as we wanted to just drift away, but it still hurt.

  We went ahead with the surgeon's recommendations, and she is with us here all fixed up!

  Our daughter number 2 went through the same thing a few years later, and success again. Them surgeons are the best.

  So for us, it was a fellow believer who had doubts, and the stressful situation that helped us wake up.
