  Who downvoted nonjwspouse? That was uncalled for. There was literally nothing in her story to dislike.

  Steel Can someone give me the readers digest version? I will get too angry if I actually listen to it.

  Same here! I can only read stuff like that because I need to be able to process it at my own speed and without the bias of vocal tones, facial expressions, etc.

  Another Blood Question

  by Cold Steel in

  village idiot » by the way, [one's wife] can be disfellowshipped for allowing her child to have a transfusion.. just a side question here, but what if the husband allows a child to receive a transfusion over the objection of the wife?.

  let's say the wife joins the jws but the husband doesn't?

  then, nine years later the husband allows their child to receive the transfusion.

  Imagine all of the children who were terrified of dying and knew that a simple transfusion could save them, but their own parents ignored their cries and stood their ground, denying their child the right to life. Especially children who had lived a normal, non-JW life until one or both parents got conned into drinking the Koolaid. No amount of comforting or scripture-quoting or praying is going to make them feel any better if they aren't already brainwashed. :(

  How did you feel when you got baptized?

  back in 2005, i remember sitting in the stadium in the special rows with 42 others.

  8000 people were looking at us - maybe even with a binocular - while listening to the speech.

  my family and my friends among them, being all proud of me.. i don't remember being enthusiastic.

  berrygerry - Revealing the gender of your child doesn't give away any important information. Nobody can identify you based on something so basic.

  God never knew Jesus would be killed?

  by venus in

  jesus gave an illustration with a landowner being the central character:.

  “there was a landowner who planted a vineyard.

  he put a wall around it, dug a winepress in it and built a watchtower.

  My only takeaway from this parable is, that landowner is out of his fucking mind for not evicting the tenants and turning them in to the police for murdering his servants the first time it happened, and then for sending more servants and his son to certain death.

  Also, unless the son just happened to be carrying his entire inheritance on him, how the ever-loving fuck do the tenants expect to take it from him?

  And finally, how does this story even begin to suggest that God didn't know Jesus would be killed? It reads like the exact opposite. This is textbook foreshadowing if I ever saw it.

  I'm 90% PIMO but events in Russia made me stop and think maybe Jehovah is real and helping

  by Isambard Crater in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm at the stage where i'd love a big scandal to come along showing clearly that the j.w's are not the true religion, but sometimes i get touched inside by various thoughts or events, the russian court trial being one of them.. i mean, j.w's are understandably fixated with attending the memorial, so why didn't the court say it will resume on monday or tuesday, instead setting wednesday 12 april as the date?

  part of me believes the comments from pro-j.w's that jehovah moved events so they could attend the memorial.. it seems the j.w's will not be banned, which makes my mind and heart wrestle between thinking jah's behind it, or maybe the ministry of justice is just woefully prepared compared to the superb australian royal commission team who did their homework.

  it surprises me the russians seemingly haven't done any homework..

  Thank you, Snowbird/Sylvia, for asking the same question I did that went unanswered, and thank you, MexiBritYank, for giving us a plausible answer. Why couldn't Google give me what I asked for? "Physically in, mentally out" seems too obvious now.

  pesident trump authorized the missile strike because “it is in the vital, national security interest of the united states to prevent and deter the use of deadly chemical weapons.” .

  59 tomahawk missiles were launched from two us navy ships.. russia has condemned the action.. https://youtu.be/4svp3yfneyq.

  Please do not call him president. He is not now, nor will he ever be, worthy of that title.

  What does PIMO stand for? I googled it but found nothing that wasn't strictly business or medical in nature.

  Christianity has caused FAR more damage worldwide and throughout history than Islam. It is the single most detrimental religion on earth, and you all know it. Literally BILLIONS of people worldwide have been violently forced to convert, forced into slavery, or were slaughtered in the name of Christianity. Do your research. Your precious Bible tells us to brutally stone adulterers and rape victims to death, and encourages warmongers to kill a woman's entire family and abduct her as a "bride" (i.e. sex slave). How dare you think you're any better than Muslims! YOUR religion has done far, far, far worse than theirs! Just admit it already!
