  I wonder what the hazing ritual is for the GB club?

  Maybe he is forced to wear tight pants over yoga pants while GB-splaning the overlapping generations doctrine wearing overlapping pants.

  this is my first post to this site, im pale.emperor's brother:).

  first of all, i've left being a jw in june.

  since then my family have tried to convince me it's "the truth" and force me to go back even though it's my own decision.

  do you think the gb are watching the live report??

  will they learn from all this?

  are they scared shitless as the reality of social media delivers one bitch-slap of truth after another?

  Which is better minimum wage or minimum income?

  by hoser in

  we were having this discussion in the office the other day and we came to the conclusion minimum wage is better because it still adds to the economy vs minimum income which someone could potentially stay at home and do nothing and still get paid without producing a thing for the greater economy.. thoughts?.

  The "Imperfect Men" Argument

  by steve2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one of the most common "defences" of jw organization is that "the brothers" are imperfect yet still strive to follow god's word.

  "sure, they make mistakes," so the argument goes, "but so did god's people in the past, including in bible times.

  " the key point is their readiness to keep studying god's word and learning from their mistakes.".

  Try playing the "imperfect" card in a JC and see how far you get. The only men that get to be "imperfect" are the GB.

  They must really be worried that they are losing the battle to keep people content in "jehovah's" slave-service.

  "Go and tell someone who cares...I dont care!"

  2. child-abuse

  i don't usually like the confrontational approach to those on the carts, however this video is a great example of how jws do not really care about child abuse issues!.

  the arrogance of this brother is disturbing..... bear with the video.

  it gets really interesting around the 6 min mark, where the brother loses his cool.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5chulnnyqs.

  Cart people are the worst, just couting easy time. I don't know if I could stomach talking to them as an apostate I think it would be more productive to present as an interested member of the public to bypass their biases.

  I relate to the way JP explains many things he's an interesting guy to listen to most of the time.

  Btw I can listen without repulsion to JP or anybody for that matter, just like I can walk and chew gum. I generally try to listen first then make up my mind.

  Stores will go cashier-less in the future it's inevitable. Scan your credit card as you enter, everything you pick up is tracked and scanned atomatically when you leave. Fast food can be done with AI and eventually will be I imagine and probably better, the local Mac's for eg, the twelve yr olds that work there couldn't assemble a burger or get an order right to save their lives. There doesn't seem to be any pride in that kind of work now. I did my stint in fast food like many people did but the standards just don't seem to be there anymore apparently everyone is too good for these lowly jobs now. Everyone expects to be CEO by age twenty three.
