Reminder about language and content

by Simon in

while the vast majority of posts that the majority of posters share are perfectly fine (which we appreciate) i've noticed we have a few cases where bad language, crude innuendo and outright misogyny is creeping in.. this is not acceptable.. we're not certainly not prudish and neither are we going to enforce puritanical rules - sometimes a politically incorrect joke is funny as hell and sometimes strong language is justified.

but often times content is completely out of place and cannot be justified.. so, please don't post crude content or use expletives just to be "shocking".

it's childish and immature and won't be tolerated.. thank you to all the people this has nothing at all to do with..

Doubtfully Yours

I am guilty of this practice.

Will do better from now on.

Thanks Simon.

JW Tattoos

by bradford in

jw

i'm sure there are countless opinions on whether you should get a tattoo or not.

my personal view is that if you were to get one it should mean something.. anyone get a tattoo to remember their jw roots?

i was thinking of getting a tetragrammaton somewhere.

Doubtfully Yours

I saw a video not long ago on JW.org about getting a tattoo and it was pretty convincing in all counts. WebMd also has info as to why it is not a wise idea.

Check it out, then do whatever you want anyway.

A good forum for venting and express opinions. That's all.

Twilight and other banned media

by purrpurr in

thanks to online media of movies and books i've recently been watching the twilight series.

issues of quality aside i enjoyed it enough.

i mostly wanted to see what the fuss was about and have the fun of seeing a movie that was banned from the platform when it came out.

Doubtfully Yours

I have a weakness for movies about vampires and werewolves. Love, love, love them!!!

Another area in which the WTBTS can kiss my big brown ass.

Feeling Jealous of True Believers

by Naoscillator in

what a simple life it is to be a true believer.

the cocksureness of people who never for a moment question their core beliefs is something i have come to envy.

it's altogether foreign, but it sure looks nice over on the other side.. why do some people step into the void of uncertainty while others do everything in their power never to even go near it?

Doubtfully Yours

The pursuit of happiness happens in many ways. Many are just as happy, if not even more, not knowing stuff.

Clearly understandable, and nothing to get upset/angry/bitter about with those who choose religious ignorance.

Live and let live.😉

This is the state of mind which inspired the coined phrase "Ignorance is bliss".

It is impossible to continue in ignorance if one is inquisitive, studious or even tech savvy these days.

by wifibandit in

instructions for circuit accounting (s-331) 6/13.

7. normal operating expenditures: normal operating expenditures include per capita contributions for use of an assembly hall, payments for other meeting facilities, and reimbursement of the special assembly day guest speaker or trav-eling overseer for travel costs or other incidental expenses incurred in connection with a circuit assembly, an assigned district convention, or a special assembly day or while teaching the pio-neer service school or moving to a new assign-ment.

such expenditures do not require a res-olution.

Doubtfully Yours

No more contributions from me!

This is very deceitful.

This week's resurrection video, will it backfire on the wt?

by prologos in

the resurrection is supposed to be a joyous occasion?, if it ever happened!

--well, this week's showing at the hall was the opposite, it was about death with violins playing in the background.

a recently bereaved member, , full of tears, (like many others) could not contain herself.

Doubtfully Yours

The JW faith in certain biblical passages is what it is. No apologies.

As I have said several times previously: Being a JW is not for the faint of heart.

Live and let live. 💐🌺🌹
