  Islam is the Epitome of Misogyny

  by cofty in

  1. social
  2. current

  in this video the popular saudi cleric sheik yahya al-jana discusses the joys of paradise, saying that men will have the strength of a hundred men in paradise and will be busy tearing hymens, while the virgins of paradise, whose breasts are like pomegranates, become virgins every time again.. the cleric also explains it is mostly men who enter paradise noting that women in general are bad because they refuse to wear the veil, they wear tight clothes in shopping malls, put on perfume and jewelry, and use filthy social media platforms.

  source.... this is what young men from conservative muslim families are raised on.

  is it any wonder islamic countries treat women appallingly?.

  Bradford: "Had Cook as a DO..."

  I'm probably thinking of a different person but what was his first name and where was he located?

  knock knock

  by Sabin in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  if jw`s come knocking at your door, do you open it & engage in conversation, tell them to sod off, or just not answer the door?.

  my husband`s has asked me not to answer the door to them if he isn't here?

  he hate`s the fact that they make a point of calling when they know he will be at work.

  I just tell them I'm not interested. Then I get disappointed with myself because I failed to give an anti-witness.

  How to?

  by OneFingerSalute in

  1. forum
  2. tech-support

  i cannot use the "quote" feature.. if i click on the quote marks it does the hi-lite of the quote i wish, but i cannot under any circumstances get out of the yellow quote box to create my own post.. i would like to know how other posters are able to do this.

  i use both ie and firefox.

  the same thing happens in both of them.. also hi-liting no longer works as it used to.

  When I'm in the mood to use the quote box I simply cut and paste somebody else's quote box including a word or two below and outside of the text box.

  I then delete the text in that box and put in my text inside and outside of the quote box.

  And that's all there is to it.

  by ctrwtf in

  https://youtu.be/spnxx52oesa .

  mike huckabee thinks that sin and evil, not guns, are the reason the us has so many mass shootings.. if this is true, then all things being equal, the us has more evil and sinful people than the rest of the world.

  who's to blame for that?

  its been a little over 2 years since i left the watchtower.

  in that time the magazines have been cut, the birth of jwtv, jw-org.

  carts for preaching, removed district overseers, cut assemblies, demand all the money from the congregations, stop construction and layoff bethelites, change the format of the tmschool .

  "...they feed on blood."

  Just have them read a Watchtower article against consuming whole blood.

  "New Light never contradicts Old Light, but simply adds to it"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  does anyone remember this classic quote from a society publication??.

  i remember it has been quoted many times, but i cant find the reference.. if this comment is to be taken literally, it condemns the organization anytime there has been a complete changes in teachings and doctrine!

  My metaphor in response to the JW "The light gets brighter and brighter" is to say that their teachings are more like light bulbs which burn out and have to be replaced by men.

  2. scandals

  just had the co visit tonight.

  i asked him if he had heard about the worldwide halt of construction besides warwick and to my surprise he said he heard the same thing.

  then he went on and add that also some branches are closing and some bethelites going into pioneering but, "all because of the preaching work now.

  Why would they leave unfinished buildings to rot in the weather? They may as well finish what they started and then stop.
