  The branch office charges the congregations $40 a piece for the carts, (and they're only available in 2's), so 39 carts cost them around $1,500 dollars. Just saying.

  genuine english guy seeking jw lady

  by english_gentleman in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  hi, i believe that a lady is put on earth to satisfy the needs of her partner and respect his views in all matters.. i realize some here may consider that old fashioned and not based on sexual equality.. yet a lady and man are not created equal because the lady gives birth and the man must sire many children.

  if you are a lady under 30 and keen to meet me, willing to cook and breed, then please message me here.

  please do not contact me if you disagree with my views, we can agree to differ.

  This is like when people get outraged of a story from The Onion. Of course it's satire! 😂

  the Governing Body - a legal entity?

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know the gb used to be one and the same as the board of directors of the wtb&ts, they made a differentiation in the '70s, and then in 2001 they completely split, all gb members resigning their corporate positions.

  but my question is, is the governing body itself a legally recognized entity?

  the reason i ask is because of a questionnaire document leaked in a recent thread.

In the fine print disclaimer, it says in part:

  I understand that the transfer of my personal data to the . . . ecclesiastical Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses (the “Governing Body”) in the State of New York, United
  States of America, may be necessary.

  Any thoughts?

  about a month ago magnum posted an incident he recalled from his time in the borg... i've copied and pasted it below:.

  magnum .

  that was one of the most frustrating, irritating things to me in jwdom over my several decades in.

  Reminds me of AMIII talking about leotards but accidentally calling them Spanx, a brand name of underwear.

  What TV shows were forbidden in your JW household?

  by Funchback in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  in the u.s., three's company was not allowed.

  it was explained to me that it was an immoral show because a man and women lived together and no one was married.

  the sister who gave this observation was a family friend and we were newbies to the religion.. at least i somehow managed to watch the benny hill show undetected..

  I remember Happy Days being included in an assembly talk way back when as an example of wholesome entertainment, go figure.

  Anyways, in my family, Disney fairy tale films, Star Wars, most children's films with a hint of 'badness' in it . . . the list goes on and on without consistency. The point is if it was something that the adults liked and it was 'bad', than it was aok. For instance, numerous PG-13 and even R rated movies watched with me and other young ones in the family. And that was okay because they chose it. 😲

  YOUNG PEOPLE ASK Should I Grow a Beard?

  by neat blue dog in

  1. social
  2. humour

  ok, ok, so the actual title of the article released today on jw-org is "young people askshould i get a tattoo?

  ", but i thought i'd replace some words and phrases from the actual article, as follows:"regardless of the motive, you should think long and hard before deciding to have anything growing out of .

  your skin!

  This is a hot topic in my cong and many other congs here in the UK.

  I was under the impression that beards were allowed over there, due to the comments of some online and some JWs. I also saw a video from on YouTube of a witnessing cart handler with a beard. Maybe um thinking of another European country that allows beards?
