  Anyone watching Star Trek Discovery?

  by Coded Logic in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  so i've been watching the show and really enjoying it.

  great to see a trek tv series finally get a reasonable budget.

  beautiful costumes, sets, cinematography, action pieces, etc.. really my only complaints are how cg all the ships look and there's a fair bit of stiff dialog from time to time.. what do you guys think of the show?.

  I haven't watched it yet, but we do love TNG and Voyager. So it will have to be special to top those...

  Questions from readers: Pillow talk

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw

  i can't believe they came out with this.... question from readers: should a youth who struggles with masturbation sleep with a pillow?.

  you young people know that it is wise to make such restrictions, especially during "the bloom of youth.

  " (1 corinthians 7:36).

  isn't it simply amazing, that the bible is ok with men taking 100's of wives and concubines. The bible is ok with foreign young girls being taken captive "as spoils of war" to be used as sex slaves. The bible is ok with Lot offering his daughters to be pack-raped. The bible is ok with Lot having incestuous sex with his two daughters.

  BUT, according to JW teachings, the bible seems to indicate that "masturbation" is not ok (even though it never says anything about it)

  Fantastic!

  Thank you!

  Just watched the 2 episodes. Really clever comparison made about the "symbol" of something vs the reality! Great work.

  Shouldn't the literature carts be covered by insurance?

  by Isambard Crater in

  2. beliefs

  i mean, they're in a public place and may get blown into someone by the wind, perhaps hurting a child.

  surely because of their position, some kind of public liability insurance or similar should cover the literature carts/trolleys?

  other charities like oxfam require insurance, i'm pretty sure, or a licence..

  In our part of the world, the INDIVIDUAL witnesses had to get an insurance cover to man the carts.

  The cong said it is not an official JW.org activity. It is something the individuals choose to do of their own volition, hence they are personally responsible legally. (yup right - and yet they HAVE to use the official carts and do it the specific way the Society dictates!)

  It is a sad fact that most people who escape the high control and guilt inducing grasp of JW sexual upbringing, realise this long after the best years of their lives have passed!

  Sadly, the mind is released from the religious guilt, but the body is physically older and past its prime by that time!

  Pillowgate: a heterosexual male's review

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my first impressions watching it, coming from a heterosexual male, was that it was just plain ridiculous (big surprise, i know), but i just want to share some thoughts as to why.. regarding the hypothetical scenario of two guys asking each other if they've ever woken up with an erection and other stuff like that: no, that would not arouse me.

  i'm talking with a male, which i'm not sexually attracted to, and assuming he's a friend, it's just a casual conversation that i'm mature enough to handle.

  the only way this is flirting (and then only maybe) is if one of us is gay.

  Great comments NBD!

  Yes, I agree with all you wrote.

  Also, as an ex-bethelite (5 years), I can attests to the fact that during the bethel entrants school, sexual topics were covered, including a focus on pornography, and masturbation.

  But I don't remember it being so painfully and specifically spelled out with such scenarios. These new videos take it to a whole new level of oddness!

  local newspaper in finland has published an article concerning wtbs:s "pillowgate@ videos.

  the local "communications manager" of jehovah's witnesses - veikko leinonen - has declined to comment them.

  according to him they are for internal use only.

  if you had 2 minutes with an old witness friend or with a family member to convince them the 'truth' is a lie and the gb isnt being directed by god what would you say to get their attention that might make them question their beliefs?.

  New Loophole Created: You can cheat on your spouse without him/her being able to divorce you

  by ILoveTTATT2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the new "pillowgate" video exposed a loophole in the witnesses´s thinking, showing how dangerous and stupid legalism is.. this loophole is sure to destroy many people´s lives.. 1) they said that two men masturbating at the same time in front of each other does not constitute "porneia".. 2) "porneia" is the only biblical reason for divorce.. 3) from 1) we can also get two women masturbating in front of each other, or a man and a woman masturbating in front of each other, does not constitute "porneia".4) most people would consider masturbating at the same time with another person to be cheating, and a logical reason for divorce.. so this will lead to many witnesses going to the elders and being told that they cannot divorce this person who clearly cheated on them.

  then, if this person (the "innocent mate") divorces and marries someone else, then that person would be the one possibly disfellowshipped!the implications of the loophole are so stupid and so damaging!i predict another flip-flop.

  "considering things more closely, this is "porneia"... or doubling down on it ("sorry but that is what the biblical limits are") or just fading away into those things that only 1% of jw´s know it´s a rule....

  Ah, but if one of them does not reach orgasm, is it still "pornea"?

  Stupid f^%ktards! The GB really have become a laughing stock! As "jesus" said: "You have made the word of God invalid by your traditions"

  "You know that I have always appreciated the way you value Truth and Honesty my friend. These qualities are so precious and important. I also value Truth and Honesty, and it is for this reason that I have kept my conscience clean by carefully examining my faith. I am more than happy to share these truthful things with you if you wish.?"
