I read both books from Raymond Franz and I loved them. However, he has left me wanting for more. I would very much appreciate him writing a third book since there is much to say on other aspects of Christian life. I found that on some subjects he only scratched the surface, particularly in CoC, and could have given more details in the second book.

I watched The Exorcist when I was a kid. Needless to say, that night I slept in my room with the lights on and with a Bible on my chest.

What TV shows couldn't you watch as a JW Kid?
by WTLies inwe had a whole list of shows we were not allowed to watch including 'speed racer', you'll never guess why.
it was beacuse in the theme song it says "he's a demon on wheels" but then my mother was a jw fanatic lol.

My mom wouldn't let me watch the original Star Trek. Why? Because, and she would quote the Bible:" Finally brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are of serious concern...(Php. 4:8). Since Star Trek wasn't true, as I christian I shouldn't be watching it. What a load of crap I had to put up with.

Brillant post Expatbrit! The similarities between the CS and the WTS is astounding. Do other states also have similiar laws such as California? If so, potentially lawsuits in all 50 states by thousands of victimized WT members/former members X 1,000,000$ each will definitely ruin the WTS financially.

Hemopure = blood
by undercover inif it's made from blood, then it has blood particles in it.
if you're gonna adhere to some bible law that says no blood, shouldn't anything that contains blood parts be included?
but now it's okay to use hemopure or other particles of blood.

Isn't it hipocritical to say you can't take transfusions of human blood but you can now take infusions of highly purified cow blood?

Definition of a cult
by reubenfine ini know the dictionary's definition of a cult, but i came up with my own: "a group of people who don't allow freedom of information or freedom of speech.
" the dubs obviously qualify.
a cult has to be a dictatorship to keep this kind of control.

Wait till you get to the chapters where Raymond Franz is retroactively df'd for having a meal with a da'd person who happens to be his employers and landlord. He was in the sights of the WTS and wanted him out of the Borg at all costs.
