i would luv the world to see just how rampant abuse is in all walks of life.... can we open it up to other cultures/religions as well?
one united stand!
Child Molestation issues have nothing to do with me studying with Jehovah's Witnesses Prisca...I doubt whether she'd bat an eyelid, just as long as I was noble about the whole thing.
If you are organising a vigil...please let me know so I can show support to our guys here...I don't care where they came from, who they're affiliated with...just as long as it helps the healing process.

If you can organise it:

Not to get drawn into a debate...but hundreds of cultures have the flood story, granted, varying a little from people to people...but the basic gist of it is there.
They don't deny it happened...why should we so called 'enlightened and educated' believe the primative peoples...
Our enlightenment has gotten us nowhere...has it fixed one problem facing humans today?

Ah! But there IS evidence. Surrounding nations recorded some of the estounding events...separate from the bible account...as they were no part of Israel...they couldn't be biased..except to themselves now could they?

I set up a page at MSN communities....a website to store my piccy's... pretty boring, but hey, it's functional!
Give them a go...just create a page full of pictures...I did. And they are pretty reliable too.

I agree...very good thoughts...keep thinking!!!!! I like your perspective.
i'd like to share with you all a personal experience that i had recently.. i had told a freind about the u.n issue (j.w) and she said to let her know when i got my answer from the governing body about why they joined.. she asked about it, i did not bring it up, and i showed her their response (the standard explanation from brooklyn which you have all seen.).
we then got into a very interesting conversation.. she agreed with me that the explanation was very unacceptable, she did not even try to argue it.. she even accepted that it was wrong of the w.t to do this - i was very surprised.
we got into talking about the governing body, and my problems with it, and she surprised me further when she said that she does not believe that the governing body should be followed or held in as high regard as god or jesus.. she believes that god works through this organisation, but thinks that there are so many problems with j.w's never questioning their stands or logic.
It's funny but I've heard a few say that the GB doesn't rule the roost in their lives. One sister I knew said that she cried when she read an article in a wt and KNEW it wasn't bible based....she defends Jah...but the gb is something else.
I feel strongly that the jw's have got a lot of things wrong in the past too...I only hope they now take steps to rectify that!
And yes...I too feel that the sting of shunning is too much to bear..it is counterproductive...who would want to return to an organisation who leaves them out in the cold when they've made an error...you need to guide and assist such ones NOT to make the same error again..you can't do that by pushing them away..only justifies what they did in their minds.
That sisters sounds like she's quite level headed....I'd like to meet a levelheaded jw.
