" He knows your fathers and husbands may be going to jail" ...?????

WTH is he talking about? This is just to create confusion, about what is the real issues with the law.

Sadly, most witlesses will buy it and start getting their "go-bag" ready.

Will there be a Service Meeting part on how to handle sex abuse questions?

by Zoos in

every week there is some sort of demonstration on how to offer the latest magazines or monthly offer.. will hq prepare the flock for the inevitable flood a questions about the abuse scandal or will the poor sheep be left to navigate that field on their own?.

They couldn't care less if people get ambushed with accusations in the ministry. Just direct them to the lovely, happy, shiny website, to see the real JWs.

How convenient that the mags for the month have a mock Catholic church on the cover.

Coincidence, or divine timing ? How long have they known about the RC?

Smacks of "but they are worse than we are."

Ron de Rooy - will he review his performance at the RC?

by FadeToBlack in

simply amazing to watch.

the restraint shown by the judge and lawyer is breath-taking.

i'm sure they would like to pummel these idiots with a sledge-hammer, but they choose words instead.

Most elders suffer from resting smug bastard-face. It's a requirement for the job.

Also resting jerkface.

Has the WT ever said it's okay to steak rare?

by neverendingjourney in

i'm revisiting an old topic here, but this was a subject of much confusion for me when i was still a witness.

i went to a spanish congregation in the u.s. and it seemed to be taken for granted by most that you needed to cook beef thoroughly to "get rid" of the blood.

i was surprised when i learned that folks in the english speaking hall would order a steak medium-rare and think nothing of it.. it wasn't until after i left the witnesses that it started to occur to me that if the red fluid that was present when you'd cut the beef was blood, cooking it thoroughly wouldn't get rid of it, it'd just cook it and transform it into another color.

I had this very discussion with a confused JW woman a couple of years back when the blood fractions nu-lite was revealed. She was very upset as to why the GB would be allowing fractions.

My question to her was

ME: But you eat meat dont you?

HER: Yes

ME: Is all the blood removed from the steak before you eat it?

HER: (slack jawed, sound of crickets, cogs turning behind the eyes) Oh yeah.

End of discussion
