Persecution of JW's Imminent?
by blacksheep inprobably dating myself, but remember all those assemblies/yearbooks, etc., that focused on the possibility that jws would suffer persecution at the hands of nazi-like regimes?
i remember attending an assembly which dramatized jw's being held, as in wwii, as having to make a choice to either "renounce?
" their jwism or die.

You know what? The Klan gets persecuted, the world in general hates them. By JW logic, they must have the truth!!! Satan is throwing everything he can against them!!

Totally agree with you all, what a load of BS that line was!!
Yeah and we were dirt poor too, again thanks to the WT. My dad was mostly a bum and justified it I think because everyone knows getting a good job and making decent wages is one of Satan's most powerful snares!!!!

"Presents all year round"? WTF???
My parents didn't pioneer, why do they expect me to?
No dating, no holidays, no extracurricular activities, are there any other ways I can be even more dorky in school than I already am?

Simple. Pick a date at least 5 years but no more than 30 years from now. Work out some goobledegook reasoning on how this might be THE DATE for the end to come. Lay the groundwork slowly and subtly, a study article here, a convention talk there. Of course, never directly state anything that can come back to haunt them later. By 2006 you could have have some momentum going.
Will this work? Will people be dumb enough to fall for this again? Of course!!

Emails from elders and CO
by Puternut inyesterday i decided to send an email to all the elders, ministerial servants, co's and do's on my address book.
blondie had posted a series of links to articles relating to the abuse cases in the borg.
rather than emailing the links, which i knew they wouldn't click on, i copied and pasted, about 12 articles to them.

What a bunch of cowards they are!!!!
I always go back to High Priest Eli vs. Phineas (Aaron's grandson who took the spear and killed the Israelite and the Midianite women) or Jehu.
These elders all stand around wringing their hands, like Eli, its very bad, but what can we do?? If they were real men they would stand up and take action to clean house, regardless of who the wrongdoers were or what the legal and PR consequences would be.
I'm not holding my breath.

ANOTHER WT "RULE" - Are they kidding?
by Sirona inhttp://www.watchtower.org/library/w/2003/6/1/article_01.htm
does the fact that incense is used in religious ceremonies and in spiritism mean that all incense-burning is wrong?
not necessarily.

Gotta go with CG on this one, anytime a government starts restricting religious freedom, its starting down a slippery slope.
And the cult/religion angle doesn't work. Who decides what is a religion and what is a cult? What happens when its your religion?
I have no sympathy for the WTB&TS, but I see nothing to applaud here.

To the original question, what evidence is there that the rate of suicide among JW's is any higher than the population in general?
