as of now iam making an unbiased examination of evolution.
however one thing keeps me hanging on to the belief of a supreme spirit being; the existence of spirits.
i have heard countless accounts of people who have experienced frightening encounters with evil forces.
Psychology has NOTHING to do with spirits and demons. It is a medical science. Maybe check the wording, did you mean to say (????).
I only mention this Cofty, because so many JWs have been taught that going to a psychologist or therapist can encourage demons, not to pick at what you said. Many JWs and ex-JWs need therapy, and linking psychology to belief in demons and spirits is just wrong. Thanks.
To the OP, please reference any newspaper articles - this is quite vague.

no longer a ms ........................... can't give details atm, for it might be a dead-giveaway and it ain't quite over yet.
but, it really taught me one thing: if you're trying to fade or stay in, trust no one.
and i mean no one.. eden.
Thanks for correcting me, DOH! I was thinking of Joe Grundy (?? JWN username) ......... can I plead 'old age'?
Sorry, Paul / JWFacts.
Still grinning though, happy for you, wife and son. ;)

I just finished reading the thread, and wow! I'm so happy your wife is with you.
Good luck tomorrow; I hope you get to make the arguments you want. "Fight the good fight" , and live in REAL truth.
Cheers to Barbara Anderson and Joe Grundy for helping, as well. (wow, Joe Grundy, you sure are amazing for being a never-in-the-JW and caring so much about us!)

here and there we are always finding news reports.
if talking to somebody they may claim it's only one or 2,etc.
i was wondering if anywhere a collection of all cases has been posted?
You're welcome, smiddy. :))

There is quite a list of the 'out-of-court' and other legal settlements and a LOT of information on this site - the url I've given you is a list of Rick Ross' archives, which I found most helpful a few years back. It took a bit of digging to find it, as it's archived now, in the Cult Education centre (or whatever it's called) site.
Just scroll down to "J", find the JWs, and explore. He has detailed information about many cases.

in your experience, what would the org have to do that would cause the most people to leave?.

The GB recants its former stance and says that the Catholic Church is the true way to salvation.
Press release reads like this:
"Suprisingly, 7 million Jehovah's Witnesses made a major Exodus today and joined the RCCs in their faith. Leaders of the WTB&TS are quoted as saying "We finally realized the superiority of the RCCs doctrine, and that we were dead wrong. The Trinity, our Lord dying on the Cross, and the holy sanctity of the priesthood - these are issues on which we were dead wrong. Praise Jesus!"

a prototype for testing in a year?
there have been a number of claims about fusion reactors in the past year but this seems the most bold.. .

I enjoy the deft sleight of hand in the above article in trying to attribute progress to GM. While they were busy crushing electric cars in the desert and denying an EV1 to even Jay Leno, the Japanese got alarmed and worked on the first hybrid electric cars.
Kind of like attributing legal freedoms to JW's
Like a dam bursting from too many leaks at once, past conspiracies will no longer be effective.
Wholeheartedly agree!
as a kid growing up in the uk we used to play 'cowboys and indians' and watch high chaparal and bonanza along with other cowboy films.
later, in the 70's kung fu would be shown with caine going through the 'old west'.
we even had a chocolate bar that was marketed with a 'cowboy' theme...milky bar.. as far as i know the 'wild west' as shown on tvdidn't actually exist.. are there people that believe it did?.
Rub a Dub, I'm sorry, wasn't dissing you, but being a bit silly, but in the framwork of bieng a 'cowboy', set off from most folks, and decision-making, I do think Animal was the 'cowboy' in that way ............ the guy who has no fear, and does what 'needs to be done', crazy mofo he was.
:D
tks for your reply
