Is Virginity All It's Crack'd Up To Be?
by Englishman in
1. jw
2. friends
seems to me that in the jw religion, virginity is considered to be an essential requirement for the born-into-its, right up until the time that they get married.

seems to me also, that the jw religion, while condemning fornication generally, sets greater store on females remaining intacto, as opposed to males, what with references to "old towels that any man can wipe his hands on" and the like.

very patriarchal.

Pit Bull dogs
by Schizm in
1. jw
2. friends
i want to start a discussion about pit bull dogs.

i live next door to a new neighbor who owns an american pit bull dog (also a female of the same breed that's just given birth to three pups).

when i'm in the owner's presence the dog allows me to pet him, but when the owner isn't present the dog acts extremely fierce to the point that i'm scared of him.

Culling and Hunting.... your opinions?
by FMZ in
1. social
2. physical
i am sure this post will anger a few people, and i respect that some find the idea of killing an animal repulsive.

all i ask is that, if you reply, you concentrate more on what you think of hunting and culling, rather than posting insults that i am a brute etc.

unfortunately it is a sad fact of life, that sometimes it is necessary to kill one or many animals to make sure things stay in balance.

Turn away from these wicked ways!
by Proud Witness in
1. jw
2. friends
well as you would have guessed from my name, i am a proud witness and i feel obliged to preach to you about the promises that our wonderful creator, jehovah god, has promised each and every one of us, of any race or background.

i know that you already know what he has told us through his word, but i am curious to wonder why you have chosen to jump off the narrow road which leads to everlasting life.

is it because you have had a bad experience in god's organization?

The TRUTH for dummies. Chapter 1
by beaker in
1. watchtower
2. bible
being only newly freed from the wts, there are many people who were my friends that i would like to be able to explain the truth about many of the points raised on this board.

so i have decided to compile a publication that i can mail to them with short succinct, hardhitting reasoning on areas where the wts is misleading them and also areas where they are saying one thing but practising another.

i would like to be able to limit the explanations to one topic per page with the hope that if there is not too much too read they may just bother to read it.

Fudging on "Field Service Report"
by Clinton in
1. jw
2. experiences
when i was a jdub i used to write down whatever hours i wanted to write down.

when i was pioneering for 7 years i would add a few hours to my time each month so that i wouldn?t fall too far behind.

even when i wasn?t pioneering though i would inflate my hours a bit sometimes so i wouldn?t have the elders hounding me about my time and also so i could hold a ?position?.
