  Congratulations! And, yes, the real question is whether or not they change anything in the documentary.
  
  But it certainly let them know that there are a lot of people paying attention who are not about to let things slide. I wonder if the federal funding is coming through the CPB and if this reflects Kenneth Tomlinson's heavy hand trying to Foxify public broadcasting.

  hey all!

  i have about 9 million emails and phone messages today..so that's interesting.

  aside from having the intial reaction of how horrible i look on telly (which i always have) and my partner swatting me for saying it i was amused to see they only used one quote from what was a long interview.

  Turning in time reports monthly-

  by JohnHag in

  if a jw has to turn in a time report each month then it seems like compulsion--when is it out of love that one goes out into service?

  I think the single most important change in the WBTS teaching would be that since "you shall know them by the love they show each other" helping each other now counts as field service. THE most damaging thing about the cult, from my point of view, is that it enforces isolation not only from the "world" but from others in the congregation. If the WBTS encouraged you, as JWs to spend Saturday mornings helping each other build better lives (help with house projects, jointly doing things with children, planting community gardens to support better diets, etc.) how many of you would have left despite the crazy doctrine? I'd bet if JWs were encouraged to aim for 14 hours a month taking care of each other, a hour a month going door to door might actually get them some converts!

  i work at a college and just got as a new advisee a young jw woman.

  she came to freshmen registration by herself which surprised me because in her application letter she said throughout her school years her mother impressed on her and her sibs how important education is and that they would be the first in the family to go to college and they would go to college.

  also, she said that her father was self-employed in construction but that her mother was not employed (so free to accompany daughter to this very exciting day, no?

  Thanks! Definitely philosophy courses (there is a "critical thinking" requirement and I'll try to steer her away from things like systems analysis and into intro to philosophy. I wish we had a biblical history course--though it would probably take me years to entice her into that!
