Olympics - To Public to Act? -

by maisha in

the society is afraid to act in regard to williams sisters and others whom are participating in the pagan olympic festival?.

it would bring more bad publicity than good?..

i just see the sisters williams on bbc news saying how the olympic gold medal is her best victory and she has more pride in the olympic medal than all others!!!!!.

in eastern europe, a significant portion of jw are roma.. i came across this paper describing the conversion of a family in slovakia and their religious lives etc... quite interesting..... http://revacern.eu/exchange-programme/ep-paper%20hrustic.pdf.

obviously, there is a problem with prejudice from non roma jw vs roma jws,.

since the society has published a video entitled our romani brothers to conteract this.... (if i remember correctly) .

Has anyone seen this video or know firsthand anything of Roma JWs in Eastern-Europe?

Why not skip the generalization and say that "some JW2" instead of blatantly claim that JWs as such live double lives..

Honestly, I do not understand that, whereas I strongly disagree with the Watchtower society and their ways/doctrines, I feel no need whatsoever to bash individual witnesses by juding them as a group based on what some witnesses might have done or not...

I´ve put that group mentality categorization behind... We are all individuals, whether JWs, former JWs, non-JWs or whatever colour, sexual orientation or nationality....

sorry, I did not mean three years, but rather three decades... as a JW. Still, I never felt that such way of treating others were a common trait of witnesses, not at all... Rather one tried to put one’s best behaviour when having to deal with non-witnesses, trying to bear witness....
