Surely the Law was broken by those Elders, and they should face charges ?

You cannot use religious exceptions only for what you want/like. Religious organization want passes to discriminate and get away with a lot of illegal acts. This one is no exception.

I know people don't like hearing it, but that doesn't make it any less true.

I left a comment in YouTube, which I'm repeating here:

I know that this is great for people who have been affected by that organization. It will be great to have an expert in this type of groups to talk about what people can do to get rid of their negative influence. Too many of these venues concentrate in what happens, very few talk about what to do about it.

Great video, I hope for a part two.

Religious Discrimination; now LEGAL

by lastmanstanding in

newsflash.

there are businesses that are now discriminating in their hiring practices based on the fact that you are a jw.. sure, you think i'm mad.

but it's true.. the business circles have become acutely aware of the -not even 1 year old- decision in the industrial court where a jw ratted out a fellow jw and brought disrepute to the bank where they both worked.

Solar panel government scam...we are doomed global warming Armagedon!!

by Witness 007 in

we got solar panels after the promise it will slash our bills 70% turns out that was true 6 years ago when my uncle got it the government was paying people for solar power.

well i just got a letter telling me they slashed the rebate again to 9 cents which means my $5000 investment in solar will take 6 years just to get my money back!

what a scam my uncles older contract means he pays no power bills for the last 10 years while the new deal screws us totally!

How can we save the world from global warming when they screw us over! Now i know why we are they only idiots in the suburb with solar panels...total rip off only our elecricity company makes money.

Solar panels are too expensive for what they claim that they do. It's like they want consumers to pay what they save in electricity to the company that makes them.

Also, many companies use that save the planet thing to their advantage or as an excuse for them to save money. A bottled water company, for example, made their caps smaller to "save the planet" by using less plastic. In reality they saved gazillions of dollars in material and the price of their bottles is the same.

Same thing with those bulbs that save electricity, the energy bill is the exact same, even if you pay the insanely overpriced cost of those "energy saving" bulbs.

Not posted for a year because mum died did not want blood.

by Witness 007 in

i posted here weekly until a year ago when my mum died of a mild form of lukemia which is easy to treat with 2 blood tranfusions a month.

you can live to 100 with treatment, but no my mum chose to die a faithful witness after 2 years of chemo and hell for her family and doctors.

her chemo doctor cried when she only had weeks left to live knowing that she could be saved with one bag of blood!

My condolences. I'm very sorry for your loss. Welcome back, and you have my best wishes.

Have No Fear! The Beard is Here! T Shirt

by Iamallcool in

when i was young and i bought a simple shirt saying have no fear.

my late dad instructed me to return the shirt back to the store!

i reluctantly did so.

My father and some others in my congregation were insanely obsessed over things, especially anything around grooming and clothing, being too wordly.

That was a reflection of their own feelings of inadequacy.

...they are making them thinner so that people can come into the truth quicker...

To me this is the heartbreaking part. They seem so happy in their own little comfy bubble of simplistic thinking.
