  ECHR Rules Against Free Speech

  by cofty in

  1. social
  2. current

  the european court of human rights ruled against an austrian woman who claimed calling the prophet muhammad a pedophile was protected by free speech.

  ... the woman in 2009 held two seminars entitled "basic information on islam," during which she likened muhammad's marriage to a six-year-old girl, aisha, to pedophilia.. the marriage according to islamic tradition was consummated when aisha was nine and muhammad was around 50. aisha was the daughter of muhammad's best friend and the first caliph, abu bakr.. the court cited the austrian women stating during the seminar that muhammad "liked to do it with children" and "... a 56-year-old and a six-year-old?

  ... what do we call it, if it is not pedophilia?".

  The whole concept of "free speech" seems to be an illusion these days even in places where it is considered a "right".

  Apparently some dead prophets are to be protected from "free speech" and their followers having their feelings hurt.😯

  Is the Sell-off of Kingdom Halls Just a Cyclical Process

  by RubaDub in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  with more and more kh's being sold off, will it only be a matter of time that there will be a push to build new ones?

  greater emphasis on donating to build new kh's since some brothers have to drive long distances to attend meetings?

  and that smaller communities should have a local kh that is visible to all in the area?.

  Selling off the KHs is an endgame process they morphing into something else.

  Oh come on, in that "artists depiction" of how to abuse the elderly out of their money there is clearly a modest size container of air that will keep her going until she can sell the container and donate that 20cents also.

  Do You Know Of Anyone Who Left JWs And Then Decided To Return?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  quite a few years ago there was a poster here that left the religion because he knew it was simply not true.

  however, he returned to jws because he wanted to be with his family.

  i don’t know how he is doing but gumby was his name.

  You missed the point of what I said entirely minimus.
  

  I was not talking about chess or any other hobbie I was using an example of things normal people do and say as opposed to the retarded conversations JWs have.

  I was referring to JWs bizarre behavior.

  I Got Very Stange JW Doorknocker Yesterday

  2. experiences

  i had an ex-jw uncle of mine visiting me yesterday from another part of the country.

  i usually only ever see him at weddings and funerals but we keep in touch on facebook.

  we were catching up in my place with his wife when about an hour into the visit there's a knock on my door, this was about 4pm.. strange... the only people who ever knock without calling me first are the postman and my ex-wife.. i open the door and it's a face i recognize from my last congregation.

  Every JW that has called by my house they can never just say I 'm here to say hi and see how you're going since you don't attend meetings anymore. Btw I have a few questions about that if you don't mind talking about it I'm curious as to why and what you believe now...

  No, waaaay to simple, honest and straight forward for JWs they always have some subterfuge going on like oh I was just passing by, oh, I was in the area, oh, I was on my way somewhere else... Never mention the elephant in the room just keep it superficial and frivolous and leaves me wondering why the hell they called in the first place.
