  "But it (the family run baking company ) points out that the company's issue was with the slogan and not Mr Lee, claiming it would have refused the same order from a heterosexual client."

  It's a shame isn't it?

  ... that this forum, which is such an amazing resource for those needing support for their journey from watchtower's clutches has an increasingly present representation of unreasoning politically charged loudmouths..

  Labelling is, IMHO, the biggest cause of discord on discussion forums. My BIL recently berated me because I'm an EU leaver.."How can you cast your vote along with Boris Johnson"? he exclaimed. Grouping at its worst IMHO.

  There is an expression that covers it: Dicto Simpliciter Fallacy

  At my very first KH, all the songs were accompanied by an organist pedalling like crazy to keep the damned thing full of air.

  I never saw anything like this though!

  memorial attendance was also way down and the circuit assembly had hundreds less people than what is typical.

  Study Watchtower confirms shunning spiritually weak. How nice!

  by Isambard Crater in

  it really hurt to hear brothers and sisters commenting about this at the meeting yesterday.. "as in solomon’s case, one of the greatest threats to spirituality is friendship with those who do not understand or respect jehovah’s standards.

  some may be associated with the congregation but may be spiritually weak.

  others could be relatives, neighbors, coworkers, or schoolmates who are not worshippers of jehovah.

  Just remembering WT studies from long ago ... there were similar articles to this back then. The audience would be clamouring to answer and make references to "these weak ones" in order to inflate their own egos. Yuk.

  What I wish I had known at 18

  the financial times had an article with the above question.

  the author asked various people to answer the question.. https://www.ft.com/content/169705e4-b4dd-11e8-b3ef-799c8613f4a1.

  while i was not interviewed, if i was asked this question i would say that i wish i had known in 1975, when i was 18, that i was raised in a cult and that the continued focus on armageddon over my lifetime was a cruel joke.

  I wish I'd known that God wasn't an old man with a long white beard wearing a dressing gown sat on a cloud watching what I did with my genitalia.
