I need to talk to her about endorsing the Catholic Church so intensely at the end of episode 7, the season finale. That sucked for me personally, but I'll get over it.

Rank & File Reaction to Leah Remini Series
by freemindfade inwife and i have watched the whole series and just finished episode 7 last night.
personally, i am seeing a great deal more subtle and day to day similarities to watchtower than the obvious ones i already knew existed, ie shunning.
very eye opening and heartbreaking, even more so than going clear in my mind.

The stupidity of Christians in connection with the problem of child abuse
by fulltimestudent inthe current issue of the uk spectator magazine has a story about pope francis:.
quote: "on 2 january, the vatican published a letter from pope francis to the world’s bishops in which he reminded them that they must show ‘zero tolerance’ towards child abuse.
the next day, the american week magazine published an article that told the story of ‘don mercedes’ — fr mauro inzoli, an italian priest with a passion for expensive cars and underage boys.in 2012, pope benedict stripped inzoli of his priestly faculties, effectively defrocking him.

Sexual repression, it is a huge problem for the religious and creates all kinds of trauma for its victims to deal with.

How many JWs still have a personal conscience?
by contramundum inin conversation with an old jw friend today, it struck me that most jws have replaced their personal conscience with a collective one.. instead of training their own mental powers to distinguish right from wrong, as the bible encourages, they are content to shift personal accountability away from themselves and onto the impersonal org.
whatever behaviour may prompt an ordinary person to have serious misgivings ( such as ignoring glaring misapplication of scripture or rejecting basic human decency in favour of unchristian shunning ) they prefer to have those decisions made for them.. history teaches us, however, that there is no absolution for people who behave unethically or cruelly by allowing the excuse of 'obeying orders' to override what their inner voice should scream is inherently wrong..

The list of rules is so long, there is no need for a conscience.

"I can find nothing that eliminates them from being God's directed people"
Did you notice what you didn't say here? What you didn't say was:
"I have found several good reasons to believe they are God's directed people, the reasons are as follows:"
This would show that you are endeavoring to use critical thinking skills. However, your statement is about proving negatives, which usually isn't possible. I hope you keep growing. Why? Going around telling people masturbation is a sin and that the generation of 1914 is still alive (or indoctrinating children to believe such things) is just a couple of (many) things that are harmful to people, and I hope you never do that.

Last installment of the Scientology series tonight on A & E
by nonjwspouse in10 pm est on arts and entertainment channel.
where leah began with the idea of just a few shows, i think she is now taking this on for "as long as it takes".
she is in that mode of being outraged that what she believed in so long is such a lie she wants to shout it from the rooftops, and get people to notice.

The Governing Body of JWs has made several claims that are actually falsifiable. And, sure enough, they were falsified. Here are the ones that I can think of:
- The Soviet Union is the King of the North
- The number of partakers is dwindling, indicating we are close to the end
- The generation of 1914 will not pass away

So, as per usual, if you speak English, Jehovah gives you lots more spiritual food. Up yours if you don't read English.

Obamacare = discounted insurance for low income people, it's not free. And it is not cheap enough for Bethel to use it.
US Bethel is still self insured medically. The Canadian government on the other hand, may be paying for Bethel health care.

One more thing, if Satan is the leader of Christendom, then Satan put the Bible books together.
