Unless OP knows the driver personally, I see no evidence of JW here.

Love is Greater than Hate
by Coded Logic inthis week has been a really difficult past couple of days.
waking up to the news on sunday that some jihadist jackass had slaughtered so many of my lgbt brothers and sisters left me reeling and in tears.
we're a community with common cause and a common struggle and it's immensely painful to see the loss of so many young and beautiful lives.

I think after the dust settles this event will trigger a national conversation.
Regarding the preachers of hate - “The real tragedy is more of them didn’t die” - I say give them a bullhorn and let them run loose. While people like that will always find a niche audience to nod in support, the vast majority of society, CIVILIZED SOCIETY sees them for the monsters they are and it only serves our best interests in the long run. Let them speak as loudly as they wish while we sit back and watch them systematically dismantle their own foundation out from under themselves.
Religion is neutered and toothless. They're too stupid to know they're doing it to themselves.
Best of success with your protest.

Comment on Violin Video

This video broke my heart. I was also a music student in high school - encouraged all the way by my teachers, parents, applauded by those in the congregation who heard me play (I used to play the piano for the congregation), until the scholarship offers started rolling in. One from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, (they assumed I was Mormon), another from my home town college, Idaho State University, and the other from the Phil Mattson School of Music in Spokane, Washington.
The elders stepped in and convinced me to completely withdraw from the trap of Satan's world and dedicate myself to the full time ministry, lest I die at Armageddon, that I didn't even graduate from high school by the end of it.
I swallowed the hook 1000 percent.

It already IS a new religion. "Jehovah's dynamic, forward moving organization", you might say.
All religion is faltering under the weight of the information age. The timeline of it's demise is anyone's guess.

Could we use the new shunning guidelines to our advantage?
by Island Man inaccording to new, officially published guidelines, jws can now shun a person who has not been disfellowshipped from the congregation.
i see this guideline being abused by many jws who have an axe to grind with a fellow jw.
for example, let's say sister peinindiass rubs sister sensitive the wrong way.

I find it hard to believe many will shun any who aren't officially df'd. Witnesses need a label on everyone and if they don't have the df'd label they probably won't shun them.
My housemate was never DFed and never DAed. But the moment she stopped going to meetings, EVERYONE in that hall shunned her - including the old pioneer sister who studied with her a "helped" bring her into the fold.

STUCKINARUT2 : He WAS, by his own admission, still mentally in when all this happened. But when those elders bared their true colors it woke him up.
