my article detailing my experience as a witness and dealing with child sexual abuse as well as outing my abuser is soon to be released.
(i'm told in the next week or so.
) barbara anderson encouraged me to post here.
I wish you well and success in all of your projects and welcome Chessa.
Some may wish to contact you via the pm option on this site .
The amount of people who are coming out wanting to expose this religion is mind boggling ,surely their must be an accounting of/ from them from law Enforcement`s .Governments , Charities Commission`s , Not For Profit Organizations ,Real Estate tax Evasion , etc.etc.
The chickens must come home to roost sooner or later don`t they ?
so the recent topic about film franchises got me thinking.
sure, we all love the big budget, mainstream releases that are so successful they spawn never-ending (it sometimes seems) sequels.
we could watch marvel and star-wars movies for the rest of our lives (and we might just ...).. but y'know what i love?
When were Primer and Time Lapse released ? they look interesting .
Abyss was a movie I loved some years ago.
Anybody remember "Robinson Crusoe On Mars ?" I saw that years ago on TV and have never seen it anywhere since.
" The Man From Planet X" a British film if I remember correctly maybe around the 50`s or 60`s ?
"The Time Machine" with Rod Taylor and their was another interesting one with Roddy Mcdowell and/ as jack the Ripper using the Time Machine .
I love these movies .
i haven't seen this posted.. tuesday may 29, 2018 @ 10pm (new york time zone).
cults and extreme belief - jehovah's witnesses.
So that will be Wed.-Thur. Aust.E.S.T. ? Maybe someone can download it for us down under
it is funny to contemplate how ridiculous the act of shunning "apostates" who leave the org for conscientious reasons is.. so we have been rudely ignored and even abused by jws who :.
1) have been imprisoned recently for dishonest business practices and fraud worth millions of dollars.
2) have been bankrupt several times.
I find it funny that Jehovah and Jesus Christ never shunned Satan and Jehovah is going to give his buddy Satan a free pass to cause havoc on mankind after Jesus Christ 1000 year rule ends . Job , Mat, Revelation .
But he is a God of love isn`t he .
news in general are supposed to be unbiased.
but given how commercial and political interests get their tentacles around them, finding a fully unbiased news website is not so easy.. here in america some would rather trust bbc or reuters than they do cnn or fox news.
any favorites?.
I put a like to that jwleaks

What i am saying is that the WT used the Greek text "and God was the word" and then they interpret it to mean "the word was a god"
Christians claim that the Bible is the word of God ,Gods word ,they either believe what it says or they want to "interpret" what God meant to say.
Is God so incompetent that he can`t say what he means ? or that he does not mean what he says ?
The reason that their are over 40,000 Christian sects in the world is simply because they all interpret the scriptures to what God meant to say according to their own agenda and not what is stated in the oldest existing manuscripts .
That`s just my 2 cents worth.
a&e has a new show this season called cults and extreme belief.
the second episode will air on 5/29 at 9:00 pm and jehovah's witnesses will be featured.
hopefully they do a good job exposing them for what they really are.
And JWs will cry "apostate driven lies" and "persecution" when that show gets aired...
Just got this quote from A&E web site and sad to say it will be from former members, so any current JW will just blame apostates for their lies on this show. Its worth a watch though.
Who cares what "they" JW`s think or say the majority of people who watch it will be non J.W.`s and they will be informed as to what a cult the J.W.religion is ? and they wont be new recruits ,ever .

I would just quote the "Kingdom Interlinear of The Christian Greek Scripture" by the WTB&TS emphasizing the word for word translation "and god was the word"

I`m interested in your involvement in prison ministry as I was interested with a WT or Awake article that gave some experiences some 25-30 years ago or more .
Some years later I experienced first hand how a JW`s Elder handled prison visits and it was nothing like what the society`s magazines said and was in full contrast to how other "Clergy" did their prison work.
The Clergy of Christendom were known by the prison officials and could come and go as they pleased anytime during the day to minister who ever they wanted.
In contrast with Christendom the Elder never identified himself as a JW who was ministering to an inmate {a couple of JW`s were incarcerated at the time } and he only went in as a visitor during official visiting times .
So in effect the prison system was not going to be reminded that J.W.`s were incarcerated and they were not aware that an Elder of the JW faith was making prison visits.
Thinking back on that it was so no reproach would be brought on Jehovah`s name.
However the Society`s magazine gave an entirely different and false impression.
And that was just another reason I started to doubt seriously what the organization said and what they actually did in practice.
And that occurred about 30 years ago.
I hope your not being so dishonest also jehovahisgod I`m glad to see you used the small g in god.Gen.3:22
