  can anyone remember or point me to a quote in either the watchtower or awake where they spoke adversely about some of the violent scenes in the original blade runner film.

  thanks.

  My first R movie was Passion of the Christ, and that was shortly before I fully woke up. The rating system is often inconsistent. You'll have an otherwise clean movie rated R for a few F words or something, and then there's some PG-13 films I've seen that should've been rated R for the graphic violence, gun deaths etc. I don't mind R rated films that are justified in their content, but it seems that many are 'aiming' for an R and it comes off as shoehorned and cringy like middle school mentality, 'look at me, I'm rated R, ooooh'

  Hasn't an elder asked you the magic question yet, whether you believe that God is using the FDS? Also, you could be disfellowshipped for posting here, because you're 'associating' with some who are disfellowshipped themselves.

  Instead of glorifying a person, like on a birthday, how much better to glorify materialism!

  Paradise delayed and the marshmallow test

  by Mickey mouse in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i recently read a book called the marshmallow test by walter mischel.

  it describes research which stemmed from an experiment in the 1960s where children were offered the choice of 1 treat, sometimes a marshmallow, or 2 treats if they can wait a while.

  one of the unexpected findings was that children who perform well in the test (delay gratification) generally have a better chance of having a happy successful life, even earning more than their peers who wanted the treat right away.

  Welcoming Our Latest JW Apologist JTrottigy

  i'd like to take this opportunity to warmly welcome our newest jw apologist jtrottigy.

  .

  he'll likely only be here for a few days like most jw defenders before he runs away when presented with his own doctrine.. so far he's already said some hilarious stuff, like "there's no such thing as nepotism in jehovah's organisation", "confidentiality is paramount to elders" and, my personal favourite "the overlapping generation is so simple to understand".. yh don't think i don't remember you from jwtalk..

  Female JW parking "attendants"

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was shocked recently to see on social media a couple pictures of jw sisters at a convention working as parking "attendants".

  i put that title in quotation marks because they still don't get the official attendant badge like the male parking attendants do, only the reflective vest.

  has anybody else heard of this .

  It's ridiculous they don't get the attendant badge if that's what they're doing. What's the 'scriptural precident' for that? Unless all it is is a badge of honor for pathetic JW males. 🤔

Or for that matter has anybody heard of women being used for other typically male-only jobs even when brothers are present?

  The elephant on the street

  by Normalfulla in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  as a contractor i travel around for my job, i was stopped this morning to buy some milk at a store in a small village i guess and as i turned a corner i saw 2 elders i know personally manning a cart in the cold outside the store with not a soul in sight and an unlikely place for much traffic even though it was outside a country store.

  1 elder is my brother in laws father and the other was in my old cong when i left, i said hello, talked about the weather and general chit chat and was my usual self, they were pleasant also but nothing was mentioned to me about anything spiritual etc.

  i know they will be aware of some of my reasons for leaving (the few that i talked about initially before shutting my trap) but they were unwilling to engage in saving my life with their work!

  I contained myself and decided it wasn't Christ-like

  I don't know . . . In the gospels Jesus went out of his way many times to piss off the Pharisees and those like them. He put them in many an uncomfortable situation, often in front of crowds. I say go for it, within reason 😋
