  Morpheus How can they be non-violent AND claim responsibility for a violent act? The two concepts are mutually exclusive.

  opportunity for fornication

  ever see brother ugly who is 86 being taken to the doctor by sister frigid who is 65 and also not good looking?

  they have to have a chaperone or at least sit in back and front seats.

  or a man who can't bring the freezing daughter in the house when he stopped briefly by because hubby is not home.

  "I guess in JW-dom if that is proof of sex happening I am in a world (see what I did there?)"

  No. What DID you do there?

  This convention talk offended me

  by Isambard Crater in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  here are my notes from the r.c yesterday, the talk called "jehovah – the greatest example of endurance".

  many of you will understand why i found it offensive.. jehovah has taken the hard option of choosing to endure:.

  reproach to his holy name.

  What exactly offended you? Or, more accurately, when are the JWs not spewing something offensive?

  Jesus Christ was anti-family

  by deegee in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  strong family ties & family values did not matter to jesus:.

  - a person must hate his or her family and themselves in order to be jesus’ disciple (matthew 10:37; luke 14:26).

  - jesus will give a big reward to those who forsake their family, abandon their home, leave their family behind for him.

  "It is impossible to avoid the conclusion that he was a false prophet."

  If it is "impossible", then how can literally millions of people be doing it?

  threads about jw urban legends are nothing new on this forum.

  they are loads of fun to read.

  how many of you remember the one about the teenager who skipped the meeting and decided to get into a car with his worldly friends and they worldly guys decided to rob a store and the jw didn't know they were going to do so but he was arrested simply for being with them?.

  i would pick this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=th2w6oxx0kq.

  i don't know how so many are happy or fine if thinking this life is it.

  haven't lost parents yet, but when with them, sometimes i'll think of this song.

  "Tears in Heaven" by Eric Clapton and "Strange Fruit" by Billie Holiday. Oh, and "Christmas Shoes" by NewSong. I don't care how hated that song allegedly is; I bawl my eyes out every time I hear it.

  Is that supposed to be worse than later in the same story Lot getting them both pregnant?

  His daughters took advantage of him, not the other way around. They got him drunk with the intention of having sex with him and impregnating themselves. They coerced him with alcohol.

  What is the most bizarre counsel you received as a JW, from a JW?

  by Funchback in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there were many addressed to me.

  for example, i once had a sister tell me i was gambling because i liked playing skill crane (the machine where you have to try to pick up prizes like stuffed animals) at the arcade.

  i then fired back a her: "you saw the r-rated movie 'backdraft.

  Still Totally ADD Considering that you're expected to thank God constantly for anything and everything even remotely positive in your life (and sometimes even the negative things), it's shocking that that C.O. would claim that your baby was not a blessing. Doesn't the Witchtower teach that children are a blessing, and that the means by which we create children (i.e. sex) is a gift from God to married people?

  I appreciate "our" free speech.

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had given serious consideration too leaving the board.

  i rationalised my views on " muslims" we're not held by the majority so i should leave.

  but this would have been wrong thinking, instead i should appreciate the platform i was given to debate with free speech.

  hothabanero People like you are part of the problem. There was no reason to be so rude to Spoletta. She had an excellent point, and you know it.

  UK Terrorists attacks

  by Phoebe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't know if anyone has talked about this yet, forgive me if they have.

  but i am just so, so sad that yet more innocent lives have been so brutally taken.

  we've now had three attacks in three months and there has been countless terror attacks stopped by the police.. my jw acquaintances see these attacks as proof the end is near.

  If they think the end is near, you ought to remind them that during the Holocaust, many JWs and people of other faiths believed the end was near then, and oh gee, which is worse, the Holocaust or recent events in the UK?
