When you love your neighbor you do not gag them. In the case of Child Abuse Victims, they have the same rights to freedom of speech as the Watchtower Organization. So why put a gag on them? If you love your neighbor you will go over and take the gag off. Do what you preach. Do not be like a wolf dressed up in sheep's clothing! Give these victims their God given freedom of speech back. Show others that you love these neighbors. It all comes down to love of your neighbor. When you love your neighbor you do not gag them.

But I must say that Durban is Heaven on Planet Earth and this city is already competing against top cities of the world, I must say that I am in love with this city. I am a South African living in England and I used to Live in Umhlanga – Durban long time ago and even today I still have the memories of Durban, it is such a nice place I have ever seen, especially the weather in Durban is so nice and warm also beaches to name a few Umhlanga beach, Ballito Beach, Zinkwazi Beach, Umhlali Beach, Tinley Manor Beach, Thompson’s Bay Beach and I had time of my life at Sea Point – Durban. I would love to go back one day and experience the warmth and enjoy being on the soil of South Africa. Nice article, but sad to hear about children.

Many more witnesses in SA need to catch a wake up. Matthew 12:6 " But i tell you that men will have to give account on the day of Judgement for every careless word they have spoken. vs 37 for by your words you will be acquitted and by your words you will be condemned". No church organization should be so puffed up with pride to boldly claim that they are Gods only messenger in all the earth.ref Watchtower ,July 1 1973 pp.402,405.

The reason I would become a JW is purely on the stance that this girl (Janine) is looking for security, and in order for her not to be looked at in a light of wrong I would need to become a JW in order to legitimately go out with her. I think morally I turned out fine despite being an atheist from birth, so I don't think a persons moral standing is inherent of religion - religion or lack there of is an easy excuse. I think all in all my point is the following: - religion should bring people together not enhance segregation - religion has very little to do with moral standings I love this girl and thus am prepared to through my self into a stuff up however I would just like to say I have been reading your blog and it is a scary prospect I am delving into however again I fear as a result of the one sidedness of the JW beliefs that this is the only option. - I will however continue to follow your blogs mate. Regards, Nick Hi There Robin,

Your opinion and comments are much appreciated. Thank you for calling me a Twit because you may follow me on twitter at http://twitter.com/robin76. I was a Jehovah's Witness for 25 years and I think that would constitute more than enough experience to talk about the Jehovah's Witnesses.(Oh,yes! You are not one!) As for the point you make about me being sad, lonely, and miss having some religious substance in my life; you can't imagine how far from the truth you are. I have been a much happier person since I left the JWs.Oh and did I mention they have enormous bloodguilt on their hands for their blood doctrine and refusal to allow their members to have organ transplants previously. Me thinks you should do a bit more research before they pull the wool over your eyes. Robin Jackson Thank you Vanessa! Your opinion and comments are much appreciated.

Dont quote from famous historical figures about nothing to fear - how about AIDS, rape of babies, drugs, satanism, violence against woman, children, animals, Porn. There has been NO progress in the this secular world that we live in, we wear smart clothes, we live in the electronic age, we think we know it all - and NO ONE IS HAPPY and everyone is SEARCHING for something to fill their shallow, empty lives with.. I am not a JW, but admire their guts to go out there and try and give people HOPE and TELL PEOPLE THERE IS NO HELL- only the hope of a better world. Methinks you protest too much and are probably SAD. Lonely and miss having some religious substance to your life which gave you the belief there was something better. This blog is not going to fulfill your life and stop using to to look for recognition on what is a very shallow and one-sided subjective viewpoint. - Go and do some good instead of spreading malicious kodswhallop.

Check out their blogs and hear they are far from in a cult. Pitty parents can't support their children's commitment to serve the Lord fully in their lives and marriages... The concerned parents group this Heather is part of have encouraged death threats, slander, even written in their blogs about burning down peoples houses! The kids of the parents that are in this group that are not in CTMI churches are lost and on drugs. Some of them living a life of deep destruction encouraged by these same parents. Maybe address with Keith the death threats, destruction of church peoples property from his group of followers. @Heather
