Which mental disorder were the men who stoned the Syrian woman to death (see my post no. 184) suffering from?

Despicable crazy people
by jgnat inthere are some mental illnesses which come with the potential for extreme violence.
i'm not talking the sociopath here who kills without remorse, but those mentally ill people while in the throes of their delusions who are driven to kill.
the outcomes can be horrific.. on december 6, 1989, a lone gunman gunned down fourteen women at a montreal college.

I've just finished reading about a Syrian women, accused of adultary, who was stoned to death.
Apparently her own father helped tie her up and threw the last rock, killing her.
Were all the men involved in this atrocity mentally ill?

"Infidel" by Ayaan Hirsi Ali - The Story of a Muslim Apostate
by cofty ini have just finished reading one of the most powerful, thought-provoking books i have ever read.. if somebody really wanted to know the reality of life inside the watchtower they must talk to a rational ex-jw.
only people like us can see through the offical statememets and stereotypes and understand the thinking, pressures, hopes and fears of life in the cult.. ayaan hirsi ali shares her personal experience of growing up in a muslim community.
ayaan was born in somalia with it's culture of clan loyalty and honour.

'The fatwa was left impaled into the body of Theo van Gogh' - the religion of peace strikes again.
'She is very disappointed by western liberal feminists and accuses them of racism' - I think I get where she's coming from.
Western feminists seem to hold white, 1st-world sexist pigs to a much higher standard than they hold swarthy, 3rd-world sexist pigs. I'll have to finish watching the vid.

Thanks for this recommendation, cofty. I haven't read any of Hirsi Ali's books but having heard her speak she comes across as very intelligent and articulate. I'll buy 'Infidel' when I have the time.
Can you confirm that she has been living with the threat of death (therefore she has a guard or hotline to the police) continuously since 2004? Have I got that right?

This weeks #2 & #3 talk on homosexuality
by granada35 inafter a one year sucessful fade and no longer associated with any congreation, i was visiting my sister this week (who goes to the meeting to please her husband for now; i am slowly planting seeds though) and they decided to year this weeks midweek meeting via the telephone.
since i was a guest in her house, i sat with them in the living room to hear the meeting.
to my surprise (especially growing up as a gay jw with still alot of anger in my heart over how i was treated), the talks 2 and 3 where on, of course, homosexualiy.

@Truthexplorer - you seem to equate homosexuality with immorality. Supposing a gay couple remain chaste throughout their courtship and only have a sexual relationship within marriage.
How do you feel about this?

Flipper: 'My JW mom who is now 87 [accepts gay people]'
Fantastic! It's taken me most of my adult life to accept gay people for who they are, and treat them as equals.
You're never too old to learn.

'society in general will pay the price for allowing same-sex unions' - ridiculous comment!
Same-sex couples are a tiny minority (c.5%) of society and do not wish to convert anybody!
Also, it never fails to astonish me how obsessed the Society is over certain sexual acts.
Anal sex, for example, is most certainly not exclusive to gay men - it no doubt happens among heterosexual couples.

WHAT IS FACT. ( A bizarre fantazy)
by new hope and happiness ini think my earlier post " what is a fact" has run it's course.
in this thread i would like to present the same question " what is a fact" from a different viewpoint.. many j.w children have loving parents ( that is a fact) but parents who insanley demanded unquestioning obidience to their deranged standards.. so " what is a fact" to innocent children is that a god who they have never seen nor heard, will destroy them if they dont live to the g.bs deranged standards.. so basically these children have been taught the wrong meaning of words:-.
love is conditional.

I agree 100% with your OP, new hope and happiness.

TV.JW.Org - WTF is Wrong With This Guy? - CAPTION THEM
by passwordprotected ini've heard about his bombastic, overly patronising, cartoon-ish delivery before, but i'd never actually seen it...until now.
and i should add, this religion bears little to no relation to the one i left 6 years ago.. .

I've only seen this guy speaking once - I clinked on a 17 min link on JWN. I get the feeling he's a failed actor, he seems to love the limelight. He overemphasises some phrases and speaks long words slowly, as if he regards his listeners as educationally slow.
The youtube video I saw is hard evidence that Lett and the others have no special connection to God and don't know their @rse from their elbow.

Come with me, back to the 1980s--you know want to.
by FlyingHighNow ini don't know about ya'll, but i did not appreciate the 1980s enough.
i was too busy lamenting how different they were from the 1960s and 1970s to bask in and appreciate how wonderful they were.. this is 80s music, especially new wave music, and 80s fashion and culture appreciation thread.
what did you love about the 80s?

I grew up in the 80s and thought nothing of it.
Looking back, there was great music, such as Joy Division/New Order, Prince, Human League, Duran Duran and U2.
I think The Elephant Man, A Nightmare On Elm Street, The Empire Strikes Back and The Terminator were great films.
I'll 80s fashion and hairstyles a miss, however.
