OUTLAW,
"Lot's of people pee in the pool"
True story; I sh!t you not. When I was 10 I would go to the community swimming pool. One day everyone who was in the pool was asked by the custodian to get out. An employee took a fishing net attached to a pole and scooped something out from the bottom of the pool. It was a waterlogged turd.

Snowbird,
Urine is a good disinfectant.
It's also a good fertilizer for your vegetable garden.
i just happened to read a news article from some months ago about doctors having performed a successful penis transplant.
the recipient lost his due to cancer, and doctors expect him to gain full use of his "new" penis, including sexual activities.
considering some of the more goofy interpretations of doctrine that the gooberning body trots out that the rank and file must obey under penalty of shunning i wonder if a man had this surgery, would he and or his wife be df'd for adultery?
For df: Yes! We're in the mood to ask all sorts of bizarre questions at the judicial committee!
Against df: It's a man's heart that commits the sin.
Which answer fits best?
Coming up next: Counting angels dancing on the head of a pin.
i could never understand why some people who know the truth about the "truth" ever go back.
once you understand all the hypocrisy and negatives, i would think it's almost impossible to go back!.
i read on another thread how this site has helped another user and that for them it has been a form of therapy.. for me yes, jwn has most certainly been a form of therapy.. i recall the days i first came to jwn (in 2004) and couldn't believe i had found people who were of the same opinion as myself in regards to the society.
it was this site that led me to reading ray franz's book 'crisis of conscience' which i read twice within a week.
it also led me to jw facts that goes into every nook and cranny regarding the society's teachings, policies and history.. note: i also visit many other sites and watch you tube videos a lot, but gravitate here most of the time.. coming here to express my inner most thoughts and feelings has helped me no end and allows me to overcome my frustrations.
Do you find it therapeutic coming to this site?
Yes, especially the social/political threads and encouraging posters who have recently come out of the JWs.

“I was sexually abused by a Jehovah’s Witness elder as a child”
Tara was an innocent 8-year-old when a religious elder abused her.
Tara, 35, from Queensland shares her story:
As I browsed the shelves in my local supermarket, a familiar green label caught my eye.
It’s just a tin of Milo, I tried to tell myself.
I don't get it. What does a tin of Milo have to do with her situation? How did it trigger her memory?
there is no way in hell that these brainwashed fools will cease making nukes.
their doctrines are based on "death to america"..."never surrender" they are much more messed up then iran!
war will be the final solution..
Outlaw, you're the best!
what does everyone think of the new executive order on religious liberty?
this would include a weakening of the johnson amendment so churches will be freer to either contribute to political campaigns and/or promote a candidate from the pulpit.
.
"Why should the state restrict the church's ability to do so?"
The unspoken arrangement is this. A church is given the privilege of not paying taxes because authoritarian governments, that might not like a particular church, might increase their taxes.
On the other hand, churches are prohibited from getting involved in politics because authoritarian churches might unduly influence the government to their liking. They can say whatever they want in their churches but organizing campaigns in the public is not allowed.
Until Mike Pence came along (Trump's puppeteer) this arrangement worked well.

I believe that religious right wingers will be ecstatic until left leaning churches such as most Catholic churches start doing the same. If any church/religion were to be selectively prohibited from doing so then all hell will break loose.
Freemindfade: "But you got some serious pharma fat asses rolling in dough."
At least we agree on one thing. One of my medications was charged at $1,000 per month. I blew a fuse when I saw that even though I wasn't paying for it. I thought of having the doctor prescribe me generic but, when I saw the price for that at $600, I decided to go off of it. It wasn't too effective any way.
Next they'll be billing you for a cup of water at the hospital. Ten bucks?
