Sudan woman faces death for apostasy
by Da.Furious insource: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-27424064.
a sudanese court has sentenced a woman to hang for apostasy after she left islam and married a christian man.. "we gave you three days to recant but you insist on not returning to islam.
i sentence you to be hanged to death," the judge told the woman, afp reports.. western embassies and rights groups had urged sudan to respect the right of the pregnant woman to choose her religion.. local media report the sentence would not be carried out for two years after she has given birth.. meriam yehya ibrahim ishagsudan has a majority muslim population, which is governed by islamic law.. the judge also sentenced her to 100 lashes after convicting her of adultery - because her marriage to a christian man was not valid under islamic law.. earlier in the hearing, an islamic cleric spoke with her in a caged dock for about 30 minutes, afp reports.. then she calmly told the judge: "i am a christian and i never committed apostasy.".

Watchtower Really Does Totally Take The Position of Jesus
by OnTheWayOut inwatchtower has said that jesus is not the mediator of anyone but for the anointed.
then they tell you that they are jehovah's organization and that the flock should obey them.. basically, the watchtower corp. and it's governing body is taking the place of jesus as the mediator for people.
christianity, even by it's name, focuses on making jesus known.

Anonymous Donation - Not!
by why144000 inmy mother in law (in her 80's) just told me that she had the elders around to pick up her 'donation' pledge.
it was 'suggested that $20 a month was the average amount pledged but she could pledge more or less.
so, rather than an anonymous amount they have a signed document stating the amount of her pledge.

When she gets hit with an unexpected bill and comes crying for money suggest she direct her concern to the elders.

First Post - Emotionally Torn
by scaredtospeak ini haven't been on here long but i found this site a couple days ago and quickly realised it had a lot of posts by people going through similar experiences as me.
i read some of the answers and it helped relieve some inner anguish i've been carrying since everything i came clean to my parents about everything i've been reading about.. .
i just have been going through a rough patch right now; that might be an under or overstatement depending on your own personal experiences with this kind of stuff.

I can not improve on the help available here But just a couple of things.
If you are the youngest then your 'velcro' parents will cling like the said to hold you. I was the last of a big family and i was born to be the perfect child and cosseted and smothered along the way and we didnt know the 'truth' at that stage of life so your M & D just dont want to let go.
There were some Awakes that stated it is not a bad things to scrutinize your beliefs but i cant recall which awakes said that. Others here can no doubt.
Well you are out for a bumpy ride and this site is your seat belt.
ps. Guilt is what we allow others to do to us. The WTS thrives on guilt trips.

I am going insane sitting here in the meeting listening to this repetitive garbage!
by stuckinarut2 inso i am sitting here at the meeting during the "book study".... the study is all about gods protective power!.
oh, yes, protective power....for righteous servants of his.....but what about all those who are trying to be good witnesses, serving the gb, who are not protected from harm?
!.

It is a bad bad thing they do talking about "protective power" like it is some sort of force field. It is very similar to one nation of African soldiers who are taught that by eating certain herbs makes them bullet proof.
What the hell are they trying to put over? What of those killed on the way to a convention? did the PP get flicked off that day.?

FFtruther144: Thank you for putting up the track by Franz. a few points;
He spoke of the 'genitile times' genit i l e? and his dropping out of education, well he did that alright.
"The Finished Mystery .." book complete with the wings of Horus across the cover.
"Rutherford being the second president of.." He was the third.
1925 would see the awakening of the ancient. Abraham, David. Abel and so on. There was one report that people ran around the US convention site looking for them! and of course they would be resurrected in a land they had never known the USA?
In reference to the realization of the 'great crowd' in 1935. Until then he described Great crowd had been considered as "failures". What a judgement!
Hearing this man speak indicated to me he was in early stages of dementia; any other health professionals may agree.
Summary; What a side show religion. Even the bully Rutherford had to admit his predictions were often wrong as he made them. The obvious would be take a dose of humility and stop looking for all these hidden meanings and making predictions by them.
I say again what a sideshow religion its appearance and evolution would be a funny footnote on religious history if it hadnt ruined the lives of so many.
