New Academic Paper “Shining a light on Reproductive Coercion White Paper” includes references to religious coercion and Jehovah’s Witnesses
by jwleaks inshining a light on reproductive coercion white paper.
“the jehovah’s witness religion i grew up in made me feel immense pressure to maintain my virginity.
i dreaded the prospect of being trapped by a lifelong commitment to a husband in a community that would dictate what we did in the bedroom and i started to realise that i did not belong because i didn’t want to be married or have children in that stifling community.” – ella, victoria, australia.

Not meaning to sound like a dick ,but if she`s had a lot of pervious partners that should raise a red flag to you ? LOL
Seriously though ,you should listen to what ex JW`s have to say about the religion in other words get both sides of the story before you commit yourself in any way.
Their aren`t thousands if not millions of ex Jehovah`s Witnesses worldwide for no reason .Don`t be sucked in with the JW `s propaganda.

Hello...
by Incognigo Montoya inwell, i've been lurking for a bit.
first out of cautious curiosity, then, though feeling a bit more comfortable to post, got caught in the confirmation email anomaly, and left unable to post or participate.
so i remained lurking, reading and researching.

Its a good excuse to be able to eat drink and be merry with family and friends and have a good time associating with those you love and those that love you .
And let`s not forget the kids ,what a joyous time it is for them and the parents want them to have a special time.
Nothing religious about it at all.
I would hazard a guess that a great proportion of people in western lands and maybe also elsewhere that Xmas is celebrated by the majority of people who do not practice any Christian religion .
And that those who do attend a Church service at Xmas probably only do so on those other occasions such as Easter ,Weddings and funerals. If that.

Does anybody have any idea how many ex JW sites their are around the world ?
by smiddy3 inin a conversation i had with a jw at the door some time ago he mentioned that their were heaps of apostate websites dishing out false information about jehovah`s witnesses .. i mentioned to him that if they were ex jw`s , so they knew about the religion ,maybe they are trying to tell you something.?.
it just went over his head and that they all had an axe to grind.. anyway i was just wondering if anybody has done a count as to how many do exist in the whole world ?.
even approximate guess-timations ?.

According to the biblical account this desert wilderness that the Jews wandered around in for 40 years would have been one giant shit-hole of a place.
What about all of the livestock that needed to crap , i`m sure they didn`t go to the outskirts of the camp with a stick ?
And think about all of the urination that would have gone on ? between man and beast ?
