The Latest From The Loony Left

by Simon in

so apparently, not only can people identify as men or women, regardless of reality, but they've now declared that people can identify as black or white as well!

no word yet from rachel dolezal, who will no doubt be declared a visionary, and sadly michael jackson didn't live long enough to celebrate.. i must say, now that i am a black woman, my views on reparations have completely changed.

y'all owe me some reparations bitches to make up for slavery yo.

Finally Simon comes out. I suspected it all along. You have given me courage.

Okay, here goes. I am no longer a 67 year old, 5 foot 10 inch white male. I am now a 30 year old, 6 foot 2 inch Asian male with all of my teeth and a full head of hair. I have been asking 25 year old Asian women out on dates and not one has accepted my invitation. NOT ONE! This is so offensive to me, a young Asian male. This must be a hate crime of some kind and I may go to the authorities to have them charged. I am so angry.

If I was still PIMI, I'd be terrified

by neat blue dog in

just looking at the pictures in tomorrow's wt study makes me think of the nightmares i used to have as a child.

and nowadays the pictures are sometimes more realistic, so for any who are truly mentally in, this has a terrible effect on them and even their life choices.

looking in as a pimo or pomo it seems almost comical that adults would believe in this sci-fi bible fan-fiction, but it's not funny when we remember that all ages of the r&f are being manipulated by the gb by these cheap and evil means.. .

On the other hand if it wasn't for the ORG I never would have been entertained by a picture of a bunch of white haired bearded guys flying over a suburban house and about to lay a licking on a fully geared swat team. I would definitely pay to see that show.

Publisher ID - I Saw It In Person & It Was Terrifying!

by thedepressedsoul in

i'd like to start off this post by saying, we all know that the wt loves control.

it's clear by their history, their wt's, the elder arrangement and so on.

however, after witnessing and using the publish id program in person, it takes this need for control to a whole new level & it was scary.. if you've ever seen builder assist (the website program used for ldc volunteers) or the metro program, it actually looks pretty similar to that.

tiki asks "But why? For what reason are they maintaining such a massive database?"

We can reverse this scenario and ask, " For what reason would the publishers want a massive data base on the elders, traveling overseer's and the Governing Body?"

We should also ask what kind of information should be in the data base and which the publishers would have easy access to?

First, the kind of information.

- Mental capacity/health/defects/handicaps

- Physical capacity/health/handicaps

- Education - all aspects including grade school, college, courses, university etc.

- Work experience - type of work, position, performance,

- Criminal records

- Marital relationship[s] - number and gender of children / age / standing in congregation [ wife's also]

- Record of time spent in field ministry since baptism

- Number of bible studies conducted [ past and present]

- Names, locations and dates of all congregations attended since baptism

- Positions held in congregation [dates and locations]

- Records of disciplinary action taken by the congregation

- Basically an exhaustive resume of someone to whom you will entrust your care and the care of your family.

Now what would be the list of reasons for every publisher to have easy access to all of this information?

Shunning is not necessarily a bad thing. It separates the quality from the riff-raff.

if you do support sanctuary cities, would you be happy to live in one?.

hey, in the bible, sanctuary cities were acceptable, right?

Are we talking sanctuary cities or welfare to immigrant cities?

My friend in Surrey, B.C. tells me that in his apartment there is a refugee family that is receiving $900.00 per child every month. That's 5 children x $900 = $4500.00 per month. and that's only the kids. Rent paid and other money going to parents.

The Watchtower stole from me and you too

by rickroll in

think of how much time and money the tower stole from any who were in the cult.

think of the vacations as a child you could have taken with your families the memories you could have made instead of sitting in a hot bs week of echo talks and propaganda.

they stole so much from us.

It doesn't occurr to you that everyone bought into it?

Those who bought into it in the 30's convinced those in the 40's to buy into it.

They convinced those in the 50's to buy into it ... and so on until you or your parents bought into it.

And here you are whimpering that " I bought into it and wasted my life."

What great thing would you have done to help mankind other than taking holidays and sleeping in on Saturday?

Confession Time - Music You're Embarrassed to Admit Listening To

by Simon in

jw
friends

admit it, we all have things that we reel off when people ask what our favourite music is, just the same as if people ask what our favourite movies are.

we're meant to say "citizen kane" and "casablanca" and not "battleship" or "pacific rim" but we know what we're going to watch if they are ever on tv at the same time (and which ones we've never actually seen).. so how about some confession time?

what do you listen to when no one else is in the house?.

Esse quam videri

Well Simon, I must say that is the first time I heard Abba singing An Angel Passing Through My Room. I love Abba now, now so much in the 70's. Their music will last as long as there is recorded history, HOWEVER, you really should be embarrassed wanting to listen to that song. I am so happy that is the one and only time I will ever listen to it, HOWEVER, it does kinda remind me of When You Taught Me How To Dance, by Katie Melua, which I absolutely love.

I don't know what to think.

Darn you Simon!
