Lot's of references to the video but no link. Not seeing a video about Endurance. Anyone care to provide a link or a video title for those of us who have searched but can't find the one everyone is talking about here?
Thanks,

this story makes me ill with rage.
this man's crime?
The life of the 43-year-old, who was an elder for Jehovah's Witnesses, had unravelled in the week leading to his disappearance. Friends and fellow elders John Gregory and John Dale confronted Mr Leathead after they were told pornographic material had been found online on Monday, February 10.Before we are quick to make assumptions, I don't see anywhere saying in the article this man was a Jehovah's Witness.
i know of the local congregation's issues, per an elder i know quite well.
he has said that nearly everyone in the congregation is suffering emotionally and mentally.
he said he has never seen so many witnesses with so many problems.
Prov 13:12 Says something about hope when delayed, makes the heart sick.
Their hopes have been so high for so long and they expect so much out of themselves and others . Their idealized version of how the world should be, doesn't match the realities they are living, even within the congregation.....a sure recipe for disappointment and disillusionment .

....and now we know where the idea that people who leave the organization are "mentally diseased", came from.
It would have been one thing if the guy was coherent and articulate but from his flushed face,slurred speech, dopey grin and stumbling manner, I'd say he'd been sipping wine long before the emblems were ever passed around.

happy easter!
my husband and i who are former jws are starting a new bible discussion group on sundays @1pm, south of boston.
we will begin the group on sunday may 3rd.
I live on the opposite coast anyway, but have to say I admire you for still being interested in the Bible and in God.
JW's ruined that whole topic for me. After growing up as a JW and all the resulting drama, I am sick to death of agonizing over what the Bible does or doesn't say....what God does or doesn't want and what religious minded people think. Maybe someday I'll come around to it because it would be nice to make some sense of it, it such a thing is possible.
What you're doing almost sounds like what JW's started out as.... people simply studying the Bible together. The problems started when they decided that they were "right" enough to start bossing people around with their beliefs.
