Ladies: Circumcision or not?

by Wonderment in

the topic of circumcision has been brought up a few times recently.

then i wondered... .

how do women really view circumcision?

sowhatnow

its appalling to do that to a child.

I could not do that to my son. plus Im not Jewish, lol so why would I.

the foreskin has a purpose, to protect glands. to protect from dirt germs and damage.

it also supposedly helps a male feel more sexual stimulation.

Ill never understand why a Jewish cult would cut off skin on a body part that is hidden instead of perhaps modifying an ear lobe, or wearing special garments, which is visible to everyone.

wasn't that the point? to be visibly different?lol did they walk around naked?

female circumcision is a brutality against women to keep them from experiencing any pleasure in life, by suspicious mentally damaged men.

they have no idea the physical damage and lifelong pain they cause to the little girls they violently do that to. so many bleed to death and die and are physically damaged to the point of excruciating pain for life.

sick men, id like to cut off their dicks and see how they can pee and have sex after that.

OKAY, GAME OVER! The number one reason the New Testament amounts to bunk

by Terry in

for me, the dead giveaway is this.

jesus wrote nothing.. stop and think about that.. if jesus were the authentic messiah, his ministry would not simply be local.. his instructions, his mission, the details of his teachings would be too precious to risk leaving it in the hands of "men unlettered (illiterate) and ordinary (blue-collar yokels).".

jesus, were he the one and only hope of mankind, would be absolutely certain to write down with great simplicity and specificity the exact owner's manual necessary to rescue mankind.. never happened!.

sowhatnow

Agree.

I had many times expressed to my mother than If Jesus was the son of god, why there is so little written about him, and nothing said from him that would give us clear direction.

where are his 'commandments'? if supposedly he [which he did not] got rid of the mosaic law and formed Christianity, which she believes.

where is his book?

plus he spoke in riddles, and the bible is full of riddles,

not a good way to direct human beings, lol

direction? I think not.

Gas Pump "Witnessing"....Is this a thing?

by Bob Loblaw in

i've seen this twice now within a month.

a car group hanging out at a gas station.

one of the cult members jumps outs of their car and runs up to a "worldly" gas pumper, arm stretched out, tract in hand, and here comes the juvenile at best question.

sowhatnow

my mom is so obnoxious she carries magazines and tracts around and gives them out to anyone she can get to say more than one word to her. she leaves them anyplace there is magazines, like a dr office, and she doesn't ask.lol my poor sister is victim to her incidental witnessing at the store, the dr office, where ever she happens to have to be, which is at this point nonsense babbling by a senior. and quite humiliating,my mom makes no sense.

boy the texts I get from my sister when that is going on, capitals and exclamation points galore lol

Child Broadcast Star is Going Home to Die.

by Slidin Fast in

the february broadcast has an item which in my view exploits a young very poorly girl.

it seems that the girl is quite a character and her faith seems to be strong.

she was baptised as a pre-pubescent innocent girl and is purported to be a regular pioneer at age 13. now read what her local paper says :-.

sowhatnow

hmm, so with what little energy she had, her parents convinced her to pioneer? where did she have time and energy for that, plus being in the hospital so often?

Id never expect a sick child to waste her valuable energy going door to door, no one is expected to do that. you dont need to score brownie points with god.

those must be older photos, its nice that she looks pretty normal in them and everyone is smiling. sick kids to me would look pale, thin and tired, and as I parent Id be an emotional tired mess all the time in no mood for photos and interviews.

the parents must have not been warned how much a flight home would cost for her if they were unsuccessful.

no mention at all about how often the blood issue must have come up.

I cannot believe it cost that much for her to go home. thats ridiculous.

I also cant believe that no place closer to her home, were heart specialists that could help her.

im assuming she was at the Cleveland clinic?

she had to travel sick, [ to one of the most unsafe ghetto cities in the US,] for treatment . wow. just sad.

If all the world were JWs....

by Tornintwo in

jw
friends

in my former indoctrinated state, i used to yearn for a time when all the world would be jws.

but hang on minute, let's just think about what the world would be like if everyone was a jw,.

first of all, no higher education, so no medical advances, no scientific research, no modern day medicine, infectious disease rife, no doctors, no engineers, so no modern day comforts.

sowhatnow

one elder years ago told me his take on that, he strongly reasoned that god is not wasteful, and for no reason will anything on earth be immediately destroyed, as in those war like photos they print up.

as eveyone will still need a system of money, and still need housing and transprotation and such. only humans will die....

he claimed it will take 1000 years to bring the earth back to its clean condition, by eliminating the 'bad' that mankind has done to it.

Now lets reason on that...

everyone dies whos not a jw at armageddon.......

WHO IS GOING TO OPORATE everything?

THE BANKING SYSTEM, THE ELECTRIC AND PLANTS, THE FARMS? THE TRAINS THE SHIPS TO DELIVER dam caps.

[good gravy, watching the show on the discovery channel, called soemthing like, earth without man, shows how fast the planet would change without man to maintain things.]

when not a jw was told that they should go to college? oh wait, trade schools, theyll save the day..lol

To destroy everything immediately mean sure death for most of the few jws on the planet. lol

and anyway , were supposed to get a new earth, lol and a new heavens, hmm, why a new heaven? whats wrong with it??

I have too much crap!! How to declutter/dehoard.....

by Muddy Waters in

some areas of our home are very nice, tidy, clean.

and other rooms are just junk and clutter and clothes and papers.... omg.

and now that we are getting older, we realize that we face a time of transition -- and this is hard to cope with too, as we believed the lie that we would never get old, etc.

sowhatnow

Ive read someplace that how we keep our homes reflects our lifestyle or mindset,

so if your home is cluttered so is your mind or daily life. hmm.

so if your disorganized, you might be a scatter brain? lol

ok , so thats my mom, lol she can never find anything.
