we know that the hebrew scriptures, or old testament states that the practice of circumcision (of males) was supposed to be yet another sign that set the jews apart from the "people of the nations".
but apart from so many odd things, how dumb is this?.
i mean, how did someone know if a male was circumcised or not??
Vw.org: I was born with out eyelids. So when I got circumcised, the surgeon grafted the foreskin to my eyes to make eyelids. Now I have very good foresight.
Haha funny!
So does that mean that when it is cold, your eyelids shrink?
Or if you are "happy", do your eyelids enlarge?😉
the title was a joke but i going to tell a story that happend to me a a meeting.. there was a brother giving a talk now from my other post there are like 4 teens and 10 or more kids 5 to 8.now the brother just said now most of you kids will be getting asked have you lost your virginity.now all the teens are 13 like more or a year older you havent had sex but they dont care.. but the young kids most likey just asked there mom and dad when they got home ''mom dad whats my virginity''?.
just my god man what the fuck where you thinking when writeing that..
Yes, I can thank the Society and the Meetings for teaching me as a very young child about Biblically ACCEPTABLE things such as:
Incest
Child brides / Sex slavery
Prostitution
Genocide
Slavery
Baby murder
etc....
im starting a counter-watchtower magazine for everyone to give to their jw friends and family or just to give to those that come to your door.
the first issue is about the history of pyramidology of c.t.
russel and under the start of rutherford along with some other things like pointing out the fact that no one knows the translators of the nwt or writers of the watchtower, "the two very things relied on to teach you".. its writen in such a way to be very repectful but to make the reader think, and hopefully the light come on.
I look forward to seeing this when finished...
i know wifibandit will post the pdf soon, this is just a snack for you guys and girls.... .
THEY DARE TO BROACH THE TOPIC OF CHILD ABUSE.??
Oh wow....their arrogance is offensive!
This is a clear attempt at re-framing the issue and deflecting the attention from the REAL facts at hand....
Manipulation and propaganda at its finest.....
how often did we as witnesses say something like this : "unlike members of false religion, who venerate or worship through statues or idols, we give our focus to jehovah!".
members of religious groups focus their religious adoration via an image or statue.
they do this in order to provide some sort of focus to their need to worship.. witnesses give extreme focus on the name "jehovah" .
Oh PE! Those pictures make my spine crawl!!
Oh wow....what has this organisation become since we all left?
https://www.openmindsfoundation.org/loving-memory-laura-ann-gracey-father-remembers/.
the death toll from watchtower increases with the latest suicide report of laura ann gracey.
here, her father recounts the events leading up to his daughter's taking of her own life - undoubtedly starting with her indoctrination from birth into this stifling, doomsday cult.. i see many similarities to myself as laura.
Beautiful thread, and touching comments WakeMe! Thanks for sharing.
Yes, that link is indeed so disturbing on so many levels....I'm left speechless to be honest. There should be an investigation into the events that led up to that poor woman feeling that there was no option other than overdosing.... why was she left so vulnerable that she felt that the only option was such a permanent step....
Is the organisation responsible in some way? Are those elders bloodguilty?
Your personal comments also resonate. With your new awareness, your little one will be privileged to be raised with a balanced and healthy view of life!
i was withh a friend of mine who is a jw still and for whatever reason we started talking the bible.
i asked him about lazarus and how is that when he died he paid the price of sin, but then jesus resurrected him.
and i asked him "where is lazarus today?
Well done.
The best thing to get a "still in" thinking is to simply raise a biblical topic.... then Leave the subject open and let them ponder the answer....
For example.: "was Jehovah happy with Lot? What about when he had sex with his two daughters?" That seems very wrong....
Then leave the subject and move on...

Great comments !
Ray, you are spot on, and Venus, that is exactly right! Keeping a photo of someone is a sign of respect..
i thought this during my wake up.
if you think about it, jehovahs promise for the faithful is actually a bum deal.
some would even say a con.
Great thoughts PE!

Did people meet each other while walking in the desert , drops their pants, or lift their robes just to show each other their penis? "Now you can see from which nation I have come"
So stupid....
