by fulltimestudent in

its taken a while for this to happen, but the victorian (australia) police have decided there is sufficient evidence to charge cardinal george pell with multiple sexual abuse charges.. .

pell was once the highest ranking catholic in australia, but once the accusations of child abuse started to surface, he was shipped off to rome where, since 2014 pell has been prefect of the secretariat for the economy, (the vatican’s treasurer).. he is generally seen as no 3 in the world catholic heirarchy.. full story: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2017/jun/29/cardinal-george-pell-charged-with-multiple-sexual-offences?cmp=soc_567.

The spinning blade of a Sword and the 2 Angels guarding the gate....

by stuckinarut2 in

for some reason i found myself shaking my head once again in disbelief at the story in genesis.. amongst all things, the very concept of a "flaming sword" spinning around and blocking the "entrance to the garden of eden" is so stupid!.

do people really believe that as a fact?.

seriously, swords were not even invented at that time!

Seriously, swords were not even invented at that time! So how could they use a flaming sword?

thoughts?

Good luck with that

by Lost his mind in

what is the big deal when you say "good luck with that" or he just had bad luck?

i have never been a jw, but what is the problem with saying these things?

my husband was so mad, he went to bed and would not talk to me.

stuckinarut2

Oh and the society has often used the expression "best Wishes" when signing off letters or even during talks and broadcasts!

As a child I was told that "wishes" were the same as "luck" and "fortune". Words true Christians should NEVER use!

I've Just Noticed Something About The "Remember The Wife Of Lot" Video

by pale.emperor in

maybe you guys got on to this right away, but i've just noticed something about the remember the wife of lot video.. we all know the scene where the judgmental jw dad gives that disapproving look to the girl who has lesbian parents:.

this look actually appears again throughout the video - but on other jws.

in the scene where the new brother is out in service with the former co. look at the new brothers reaction to when a "worldly" person knows the former co from work:.

Introducing Our Rockstar Governing Body

by pale.emperor in

isnt nice to see the governing body being so humble, meek and not seeking their own importance?.

My disassociation story

by Roger Kirkpatrick in

following is a summary of events leading up to my decision to disassociate from jehovah's witnesses and the unforeseen results of that decision.. a young man named joel engardio produced a documentary about jehovah's witnesses called "knocking" which aired nationally on pbs.

i purchased the dvd from joel before it was even released and we exchanged emails.

joel had been raised by his jw mother and had been active in jw activities during his adolescence, but he was never baptized as a jw.

Thank you for sharing your story Roger.

Regardless of what happens with those around you, please remember that you alone are in control of your feelings and self-worth.

No one has the right to cause you undue anxiety or stress.

I respect the fact that you stood up for TRUTH and HONESTY, when the society and those held captive by it can so easily act dishonestly.

Much love my friend.

OMG!! the Stereotyping!!

by Tight Pants Twinkle Toes in

did anyone notice the blatant stereotyping in the ' remember the wife of lot' video?.

the only thing missing with the oriental family was a pony tailed servant named 'hopsing' and that they all go off to work at the family laundry.. the mexican family ate tacos, refried beans, and hotsauce ('not there is anything wrong with hotsauce'....,sienfeld) at every meal, and of course the dad was a landscaper.

wtf!?!?

stuckinarut2

I didn't notice, but was anyone wearing TIGHT PANTS as well?
