remember when we could never say an opinion regarding politics?
it’s refreshing to see that we can tell everyone what our political stances are and have no fear of shunning .
I voted for the first time this year!!! Aaaaand, I worked at the polls! It feels so good to be able to make cast my vote in the direction I want. I want a voice, I have one!
Like one guy said, after voting, "If you don't vote, you have no right to complain" haha!
i am trying to remember a cover of a wt or awake that had a picture of a priest or maybe even the pope.
i think the issue came out in the height of the catholic sexual abuse cases and being disappointed in your religion or something like that.
i have searched this site and google images but not be using the correct key words.. the reason i am looking for it is because should it come up that jw's are being persecuted due to all the recent publicity i would like to ask a jw if the wt and the mainstream media were 'persecuting' the catholic church when they were uncovering wrongdoing in that religion or any other.
Anders Anderson... Thanks for posting that damning evidence against the WT.
WT has a LOT of nerve condemning others. It's ok for THEM to call the Catholics hypocrites, and expose their pedophilia, but if ANY one says ANY thing about THEM (the WT)...
It's all 'hateful, stinking, rotten, apostate lies, not to be believed'
Funny how similar the victims of the Catholic church and Jehovah's Witnesses are:
"Each one tried to seek justice "within the pastoral context of the church." NCR concludes: Survivors go to the courts, it appears, not as a first resort, but as a last resort."
Does that sound familiar?
walked into panda express for lunch the other day and there was a unusually long line.
i notice a large group of folks that had a familiar dress and smile on their faces.
the women dresses below the knees and the men wearing the top of line goodwill special suits.
Yep, I see the same thing... I was at a Mexican dine in/ take out restaurant and noticed the suits & dresses, and wondered... but when the children are wearing suits and dresses, most likely they are Jdubs.
I recognized one guy who my husband helped thru a hard time when he was young, and he recognized me... no word said. I escaped.
disfellowshipped.... a jehovah's witness movie.
enjoy!.

"Can you say "OVERLAPPING?"

“It feels really good to be here today,” Heutmaker, now 62, said tearfully amid a crowd of survivors of clergy sexual abuse gathered in a downtown St. Paul law office Thursday afternoon. “Never in my life did I think it would come to this, 49 years later. … I am extremely grateful.”
For survivors, such as Heutmaker, the fight began long before that and involved more than legal sparring.
He thanked his parents, friends, attorneys, fellow survivors and wife for standing by him as he battled years of anxiety, depression and thoughts of suicide.
Without all of you I don’t think I would be standing here today,” Heutmaker said.”
Can you imagine? Your parents, friends, attorneys, fellow survivors, wife standing by you!?!
62 years old.....,
He was so grateful that the truth came out..... and the truth set him FREE!
Awesome!

I loved it!
I know this camera crew spent so much time with Barbara and Romy, and they had to condense the tens of (hundreds? of) hours down to a 45 minute show. I tried to picture myself doing this, and STILL getting the picture conveyed! Pretty hard to decide what to put it, what to take out.
I think they did a great job blending between Romy & Barbara, a great balance that would give people 'on the outside' a peek into what happens on the 'inside'.
When they asked about "cults" and if JWs could be one, because "Aren't cults usually run by one person?" The expert, Janja, said, "Well, it began that way, and the leadership became the governing body"....... "They have, what we might call, charisma by proxy. So they're the authoritarian leaders that cannot be questioned"
Let's not forget that. What about Jim Jones? What if only half the people died, and 3 or four men took his place? They would still have a cult... What if more people joined? Still a cult.
