some excerpts:.
One of the above posts stated that one of the signs of true mind control cult power over it's members is that the members would willingly commit suicide if asked to.I'm sorry, but there is NO WAY IN HELL that even a small minority of even the hardest-core witnesses would commit suicide for the 'Society". Maybe...MAYBE, a few of the real disturbed ones would follow through with it, but come on now?I mean in a "Jim Jones Guyana tragedy" kind of suicideI don't know if that disqualifies the WTS from being a cult or not, but does anybody honestly believe that the WTS would ever ask it's members to kill themselves??? Wait a second, would the blood transfusion thing qualify?-Integ.
Yes, of course. Refusing blood is commiting suicide. Watching your baby die right in front of you because you won't let Drs give blood is murder. The WTS asks them to do this every day!

Hi Brooke..(sent you a friend R)....welcome to JWD.
as you know this movie was banned for jws.
any faithful witness would not watched a non-jw bible movie (even though they do it all the time but that's a different subject.
) i watched it this pass week over a couple of days.
As for Passion of the Christ.....I saw it, and let me just say it never crossed my mind during the entire movie that it would be in any way, shape, or form relevant--important--pertinent what he was hung on.

In the three congs I attended while "in," it was preached quite a lot from the platform about not seeing ANY R-rated movies. A young sister got in big trouble for sneaking and taking several younger witnesses (including me) to see Lady Sings the Blues. After I got married, my mother moved to Charleston, South Carolina, and we went to a get-together at an elder's home. I was shocked to hear him say he decided which R-rated movies to see and which ones to avoid. As I recall, there was lots of wine drinking that day too! Yet, when we went to visit my witness friends in Vero Beach, Fla., and the brother sat down and turned on Cherry 2000 (rated R), my mom walked over and turned his channel, giving him a lecture on why it was totally wrong for him to watch it. Now, why she didn't do this at the elder's home in Charleston, I don't understand.......HA...yes, I do!!
I also remember that we were never allowed, under any circumstances, to attend local HS football games, or the prom......that is, until an elder moved to South Carolina from New York. In his fomer cong, they allowed their two girls to go to prom and go to football games, so imagine my confusion at age 12, when all of a sudden WE could go too. VOILA!!! Jehovah changed his mind. For 12 years I was told sports (ie; competition) was bad, bad, bad....then it was not bad. I was beaten for doing cheers in the yard, and now all those beatings were for nothing??? Ah....the consistancy of God and religion. *sigh*
The rock star Prince sang the praises of brother-sister incest.
Hmmmmmmm....a big donation will make them forget all about that now.

BRIDGEPORT — Rebuffed twice by the Planning and Zoning Commission, Jehovah's Witnesses have sued the city to build two connected meeting halls on a Huntington Turnpike lot.
The suit was filed in early December by lawyer Timothy Hollister, of Shipman & Goodwin in Hartford, according to Jeff Gordon, a volunteer for a regional Jehovah's Witnesses building committee.
The lawyer was unavailable for comment. Greg Conte, an associate city attorney who handles zoning issues, who was also unavailable.
But Patricia Fardy, the P&Z chairwoman, stood by the board's reasons for denying the Kingdom Hall proposal at 257-269 Huntington Turnpike.
"I'm familiar with the area and the sight line is in question" for the property and passing traffic, she said.
The Jehovah's Witnesses' traffic studies underestimated the speed at which traffic travels through the area, she said, adding that the project was denied of concern for the "safety of parishioners and the public."
"Exiting and entering that driveway would have been very, very hazardous," she said. (don't they know Jehovah will protect them from those speeding cars?)
The commission unanimously rejected the application in September, citing traffic concerns as a primary reason. Two City Council members at the time pointed out that the site is a few blocks from so-called "Dead Man's Curve," an 0.8-mile-long stretch bordering on Beardsley Park named for numerous serious motor vehicle accidents that have occurred.
But a revised application, presented at November's P&Z meeting, proposed the elimination of walls and trees to improve the sight lines for an unobstructed 1,000 feet.
The vote then was 4-3 in favor of the plan, but it was a rejection by default because the proposal failed to win a two-thirds majority, or five of the seven P&Z members.
Jehovah's Witness congregations that would have met in the proposed Kingdom Halls worship in Spanish, French and American Sign Language. They now meet in Monroe and Orange. There's also a Kingdom Hall on West Avenue near State Street.
Gordon said despite the rejections, the Jehovah's Witnesses still plan to buy the second of two homes on the property. They own the first one.
