But itsibity etc.: He never trabelled, he never was a DO, he has constantly been a pioneer in his congregation, and has been widely used at conventions, but has never travelled. He started teaching himself Hebrew while working, and then entered University and ended up a professor. His scholarly work deals with a new understanding of the time frame of the verbs, how they are used in texts including Bible texts (when are they to be understood as relating to the past, present or future etc.). He is a very friendly person.

New Ex-JW Documentary To Be Released
by discreetslave inabout filmtruth be told is a feature length documentary that explores the lives of several individuals raised in the jehovahs witnesses religion.
the title of the film refers to the tendency by jehovahs witnesses to regard their beliefs exclusively as the truth.. the documentary is not an indictment of religion but rather a retrospective.
in a series of informal interviews, former jehovahs witnesses discuss life experiences within the organization including the impact the religion had on their childhood and family, schooling, adolescence, and approaches to dating and marriage.

"The examples given aren't really extreme enough to register a response."
So if reality is not extreme enough, one would have to invent things in order to raise the interest of the audience?

None of this was covered here. But that aside, one thing I never understood, was why one should not associate with "weak" ones. 'Cause that way, the weak would only grow weaker, as there were only other weak ones with whom to associate. Strong with strong and weak with weak. Resulting in two groups, one strong - and one weak, that could have grown strong if only the strong ones had associated with them.......

"Please do not view this topic as an attack on you personally, I am simply trying to get in to the mind and heart of those who stay in a religion they know to be false and a killer."
Well, if one stays in a religion while knowing it to be false and a killer, then one has no moral at all and is not the person to ask a moral question.

Simplified literature?
by irondork ini've been seeing comments made about this but have not really paid much attention.

The only one being far off, ziddina, is you, as you so 100% failed to see what I was trying to say. I am aware of the fact that English is not my native language, and so I at times might fail to make myself clear, but I think you must have read quite another message than the one I was writing. But, again, it just proves my point, that name-calling and threatening is OK as long as it goes in the direction you support - but oh my God! if it goes in the other direction. It ain't easy to keep two thoughts in the mind at the same time, ziddina, but you should try it sometime - you might find it refreshingly new.
