In Ireland, where handguns are illegal, only the criminals have them. Citizens get shot by these criminals. Citizens who aren't allowed to legally own handguns to defend themselves.

How are you spreading TTATT?
by vinman injust wondering if anyone has used any underhanded ways of spreading ttatt.

venting: My wife is in cult mode again! she tried to start a fight..
by goingthruthemotions inso when i was at luch today, my wife was in full cult mode.
she started in on me about us not being able to hang with other witnesses and when i go to the meetings with her that i don't talk with nobody nor pay attention and act angry.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that if I told him I wanted to leave the org, he'd divorce me pretty quick... -

The Org is terrified of apostates
by SecretSlaveClass ini knew apostasy was a serious concern for the org, but until i watched this video, i had no idea how afraid they actually were.
all this guy wants is to do is not turn in his fs hours and immediately they (elders) set about drilling him about who are what influenced his decision, as if he was incapable of making his own (which as the elders confirm, in the org is highly discouraged).
they are convinced he has been communicating with apostates or visiting apostate web sites.

Jehovah's Witness Leader: There's a 'Spiritual Dilemma' in Reporting Sexual Abuse
by defender of truth inthe article is a good summary to show people who are too busy to read the transcript.
the main points are covered, without jackson's waffling... this is my favourite quote:.
jackson also testified that while there havent been any particular discussion among church leadership about apologizing to victims of sexual abuse, its perceivable that they might consider doing so.

I love reading all the comments on sites like that, it shows how JWs are really viewed by the outside world. -

SecretSlaveClassAsk him if the GB has considered getting a copyright for the word "god". Lots of extra Watchtower $$ from those wanting to associate themselves with "Him". A great way to control the god market.
Actually, that's the reason the silver sword was made...the copyright on the NWT ran out, so they decided to 'revise' it. I know someone [a non-witness] who helped on the translation of some of the silver sword and that's the reason they gave for its existence...

Mr. Geoffrey William Jackson = Humpty Dumpty
by kepler inwhen i use a word, humpty dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, it means just what i choose it to mean neither more nor less.. .
the question is, said alice, whether you can make words mean so many different things.. .
the question is, said humpty dumpty, which is to be master thats all.

I really loved this point Angus made:
28 Q. Do correct me, Mr Jackson, if I misunderstand this,
29 but this does seem to me to suggest, in the use of the
30 words "brothers select for yourselves seven reputable men",
31 that a broader congregation of believers would make the
32 selection, rather than the seven themselves?
You could see GJ's brain-cogs turning trying to think of a bs answer for this one.
