My dear sister and her family. Right now, nothing would please me more. They already have huge doubts, but they need the push that will tip them.

Who would you like to hear of leaving the Jehovah's Witnesses ?
by wozza ini'll start off with this one:.
some years ago when i was formulating my exit, i employed for some time an ms brother from another congregation.. i'd had a couple of young "worldly" lads work for me but they proved unreliable as they used drugs or alchohol and consequently would'nt arrive at work and such like.. so when i was was contacted by this brother and spoke to him and heard he'd worked at the australian bethel for some time on construction and wanted an opportunity to learn the trade of bricklaying ,i thought ,"great someone to finally trust and be reliable".
he was in his 40's at the time and he worked like a trojan ,was honest ,really likeable and interesting ,could play the classical guitar beautifully ,had a beautiful family.

City of Sodom discovered

I'm not even debating if the city that was found can or can't be the biblical Sodom. That remains to be seen. However, the idea of an asteroid fly-by over the area (finally crashing on Köffels valley in Tirol, Austria) that caused fire and brimstone to storm the Dead Sea area and that clay tablet making reference to such event has been entirely debunked as pseudoscience.
No one has yet come up with a plausible reading of what is written in that tablet. To claim that it makes reference to an asteroid observation of 5000 years ago is nothing more than speculative wishful thinking.
Look up the article "Fire In The Sky", by Jeff Medkeff and Martin Rundkvist published on February 4, 2009 at skeptic.com

The impact of an asteroid of such magnitude would have left a far greater impression on the region's collective memory, wouldn't it? I don't recall other ancient accounts of "fire from the skies" causing massive destruction on mankind. Besides, where is the crater that could provide evidence of such impact?

The Monsters the WTBTS Created
by Coded Logic ingrowing up, the jws at the kingdom hall taught me that perfection is the only standard via which things can ever be measured.
"well yeah modern medicine is great - but it's pointless because they can't save everyone.
and they can't stop people from dying.

Petition to the IRS: Internal Revenue Service: Revoke 501(c)(3) status of the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society
by Faithful Witness inhttps://www.change.org/p/internal-revenue-service-revoke-501-c-3-status-of-the-watchtower-bible-amp-tract-society?recruiter=403260680&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink .
i'm not sure what good these things do, but this petition needs 211 more signatures to reach 1,000. .
the organization known as the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses or watchtower bible & tract society headquartered in brooklyn, new york, have for many years enjoyed what is known as 501(c) (3) status whereby a nonprofit organization is exempt from paying federal income tax if its activities have the following purposes:.

Recently John Oliver found out that the IRS has only audited one religious organization in recent years, and he mentioned that here are express instructions to take a very soft approach on religions. In any case, it can't hurt to be vocal about it. One more straw on the camel's back. Some day, some straw will be the final one. Signed.

The link to the specific article within the website isn't working, even from within the website. It returns a server error of sorts.

Islam is the Epitome of Misogyny
by cofty inin this video the popular saudi cleric sheik yahya al-jana discusses the joys of paradise, saying that men will have the strength of a hundred men in paradise and will be busy tearing hymens, while the virgins of paradise, whose breasts are like pomegranates, become virgins every time again.. the cleric also explains it is mostly men who enter paradise noting that women in general are bad because they refuse to wear the veil, they wear tight clothes in shopping malls, put on perfume and jewelry, and use filthy social media platforms.
source.... this is what young men from conservative muslim families are raised on.
is it any wonder islamic countries treat women appallingly?.
