		<description><![CDATA[The web site that published &#8220;&#8216;Mentally Diseased&#8217;&#8221; and Political Correctness&#8221; is called Sheep and Goats. It appears to be written by one of Jehovah&#8217;s Witnesses. It&#8217;s meant to defend the Watchtower Society against critics who dislike the organization&#8217;s recent use of the term &#8220;mentally diseased&#8221; when describing those it deems to be apostates. Here are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Watchtower magazine turned a lot of heads when it wrote that apostates of Jehovah&#8217;s Witnesses are &#8220;mentally diseased.&#8221; We ex-Witnesses have sure taken notice. So have authorities in the U.K. This brings up a few issues. First, was the Society saying that all ex-Witnesses are mentally diseased? Second, is this a new level of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many ex-Jehovah&#8217;s Witnesses have tried to justify their reasons for leaving the Watchtower Society to friends and family who are still loyal Jehovah&#8217;s Witnesses. Many ex-Witnesses not only fail to do this, but fail miserably. It seems that there are no acceptable reasons for leaving our former Kingdom Halls in the eyes of many Witnesses.

Ever since I posted my series about the November AWAKE! articles on atheism, I&#8217;ve started seeing more comments from Jehovah&#8217;s Witnesses here on Atheist Geek News.

It&#8217;s also a publisher of books and magazines,1 which are&#8211;for all intents and purposes&#8211;a central part of worship for Jehovah&#8217;s Witnesses. The Society uses its literature to hand out its spiritual food (&#8220;the truth&#8221;) to its adherents, including counsel from the [...]]]></description>
