Protecting pedophiles while protecting children
by stillin ini know that a lynch mob forms whenever there's a hint of anybody being a pedophile, but the truth is that not all are the slavering, predatorial animals that they are painted to be.
each circumstance has its' own specifics.
in defense of the wts, they do keep track of confirmed pedophiles now.

I started smoking when I was fourteen. Quit at 16. Got disfellowshipped not much later. But not for smoking. I quit when when I was older. Then with the birth of my first child some ass__le gave me a cuban, I couldn't resist. Fine Cigar, that at the time were legal here in Canada probably still are. But if one thing the witnesses get right is tobacco is evil, just ask any Doctor. I can remember dreaming about smoking when I quit and awakening in a cold sweat. Craving the nicotene plus whatever else they put in them. I can't believe I'm defending the Tower. Over 20 years smoke free.

Truly sickening I listened to it once that was enough for me. The NAZIS about 1935 were very like this. As communication around the world increases via the internet this cult is not going to go out with a wimper. Wow for them that are still in the truth!

Is there a 'third' way to leave?
by Splash inonce baptised, apart from death there are really just two ways to leave the congregation: df or da.. but notice this quote:.
"does he really desire to disassociate himself, or does he simply no longer want to associate actively with the congregation?".
- shepherd the flock of god (2010) p. 111. .

I think it all depends for example if your a young intelligent brother with good speaking skills and there is alack thereof in the congregation you will eventually have to open your big mouth and face disassociation or disfellowshipment if you are an older sister I don't think any elder would care.

HELP NEEDED for the book I'm writing!
by Terry ini'm about 90% finished on a book i started nine years ago.
it will deal with jehovah's witness policy on conscientious objectors during war time.
from the 1800's through the end of the draft in the early 1970's.. i am also giving a personal biographical account of my own introduction to the religion, process of assimilation and ministry experience.. additionally, i'm working in timelines connecting the 2nd adventist teachings with russell, rutherford and mainstream watchtower doctrines.. .

You see Terry I agree with Kepler. I don't think he was ever in the cult and I have been out long enough that I can put any vindictiveness aside and just rationally think what would appeal to the most. I am not trying to get even or prove a point. You probably have enough research and experiances for several books. I do like how you said you would break the book up into two general parts though. I would still like to purchase a copy when you get it published.

Where did Pastor Russell get his TRUTH?
by Terry inmost jehovah's witnesses are aware there once lived a man named russell and he had something to do with the early years of their religion.. but, generally, interest in the early days is almost non-existent.
after all, nobody was running around calling themselves jehovah's witnesses, so what difference does any of that really make?.
russell and the origins of jw doctrines are, as a result of this total black out of curiousity, hidden and permanently obscured.. in fact, the only time charles taze russell is discussed is because some expose' by an apostate has raised a stink.. admitedly, most anti-jw books seek to dredge up scandals, lawsuits, accusations and failed predictions swirling around russell's ministry.. in my own opinion, none of that is half as interesting as the missing part of the equation: where from did pastor russell get his truth?.
