  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....

  Honestly, such behaviour on part of witnesses was something I never experienced or heard of in my three years as an active witness...

  Is that a British JW thing? Or an exceptionally bad circle of JWs?

  Not as far as I know. However, keep in mind that those three articles have been published today starting at lunchtime...

  And already three articles. Most likevely it will spread to other media.

  In Norway it was published articles in regional newspapers, national newspapers and also interviews on the radio.

  It is anticipated reactions in Sweden as well.

  But keep in mind that people in Scandinavia are less fundamentalist and religious than the US, respect of children´s rights are put in high regard and thus the dvd might be regarded as more "extreme" and counter-culture than in the US.,

  As a side note, Caleb is called Jacob in Norwegian and Lucas (Luke) in the Danish version.

  Sparlock however has kept his name....
