  Hilarious! So many of the older songs were lifted straight from classical works. This is the most obvious, just compare these. Beethoven would not have been a happy chappie!

  by GodZoo in

  my lawd... filthy britain.. as many as 450,000 children are thought to have been abused in england in the two years up to march 2014, according to a major new report.. some 50,000 cases of sexual abuse were recorded by police and local authorities during this period, but the office of the childrens commissioner (occ) believes this is a major underestimate.. a study by the occ found that around 85 percent of sexually abused young people are not receiving help and treatment.https://www.rt.com/uk/323321-child-abuse-rise-family/.

  Approximately one out of 20 men, and approximately one out of 3,300 women are sexual abusers of children.

  Is the Watchtower organisation facing the biggest crisis of its history?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower

  recent developments make me think they might be.

  the problems they are facing are not just lack of funds but also draining authority, and the two could be a heady and explosive mix.

  one of the best analyses ever written of the watchtower was a book called "trumpet of prophecy" by sociologist james beckford in the 1970s.

  Any injustices that ordinary Witnesses faced were conceived as a result of evil among local low-level representatives. The leaders of the organisation were kept in the highest esteem. They were like the imaginary friend who was always on your side.

  I seem to recall hearing that in wartime, the German people, on learning of some of the atrocities and beatings being carried out by storm troopers and the like would often exclaim: "If only the Fuhrer knew!"

  Ex JW's - Which Christian denomination are you with now and why?

  by Truthexplorer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is a question for ex jw's who have joined another christian faith group.

  the purpose of my question iis to find out which christian faith group you chose after leaving watchtower and what convinced you to travel this new spiritual path you are on.

  i am interested to know because i personally would like to find a genuine faith group where i can feel true christian liberty as i initially thought i had with the witnesses.

  Nothing. I was never particularly religious but went along with it from age 9 onward because my parents convinced me that it was the only way to survive armageddon. I haven't attended a religious service since I left in my early 20's. Apart from weddings and funerals!

  It's strange - I have all the dub knowledge in my head but it's not in my heart. The one advantage is that I'm a whizz at pub quizzes when the Bible questions come..

  you know how you go to the mid-week meeting & it is all about field service, how you can improve, do more etc.

  do you remember how they would say things like..... "you get up brothers & you really don't feel like going out today, you look out of the window & the weathers just not good, then you look in the mirror & you say to yourself, i don't feel so good today.

  you know your looking for an excuse not to go cause it's tough to get motivated on your 1 day off.

  All it ever did for me was give me diarrhea.

  There is a mneumonic for spelling that particular word the UK way:

  "Diarrhoea is a really runny heap of everything awful."

  What Was The Silliest "Offense" That You Were Counseled For?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i was a teenager, i was told by an elder that because i smiled a lot and was known for my good sense of humor, that i should come across as "more serious".

  so before i was appointed a ms, while in my late teens, i transformed myself into a much more "serious" brother.. were you ever told that you needed to work on something that you knew was stoopid?.

  Silliest counsel - my ex-wife blacked my eye once (several times actually) and the PO and his assistant came round to see me to tell me to get her into subjection mode.

  I think your marriage has a good chance because it all took place before you entered the cult. Although I know many couples who have left the JW's together and who have split up following their departure. It happened in my first marriage simply because we both played around once we'd left. Our original faithfulness was based on WT teachings and not our love for one other. But it still hurt like hell.

  Is it OK to have bridesmaids?

  Is it OK for a non-virgin to wear a white dress?

  Is it OK for someone to give the bride away?

  Is confetti acceptable?

  I believe that Clevedon is famous for being the wife-swapping centre of England on account of there not being much else to do there.

  American accents, Bette Midler, Clinton, Rick Fearon, Strathclyde, Morningside

  i used to enjoy being able to distinguish different local accents, but for some reason i've got worse at it.

  i was thinking about this today when i was listening to bette midler on the scottish radio.

  i thought to myself i quite liked her accent and also that it reminded me of someone else.

  General American; American's pronounce their "R's", we don't.

  Caught and cot sound the same in American.

  T's are pronounced as d's.

  This voice coach explains the basic rules given to Brit actors playing American parts:
