personally i think this is wonderful.
i have nothing against gay people and wish them only the best.. but of course i'm in a minority of one, the jw's around me are posting away on fb the most homophobic vitriol imaginable.
a lot of them are even saying that it's the start to armageddon!!.

Thank you for starting out my day with a deep belly laugh.
It is so bizarre that people think this will increase the prevalence of homosexuality. All it's going to do is bring in revenue to the wedding industry, increase family stability, make people happy, and increase the social acceptability of people being their true selves.
I guess it's that last bit they have a problem with.
since at least back to the 1960s in canada, jws have been travelling to mexico for cancer treatment.
and, i believe, other medical treatments.
because i watched my uncle die of cancer back in 1962, unable to receive treatment because the doctors couldn't operate without blood, i have always been curious as to why the jws with cancer were going to mexico.
Yeah, Gerson is dangerous, as are many woo treatments that dubs and other fundies flock to.
I periodically post about "alt med" on my cult prevention blog because wooism mirrors cults in so many ways. Dubs are ripe for it. It requires rejection of logic, facts, skepticism and science.
I personally was a victim of it. My jw parent rejected appropriate medical care for "alt med" and 1930s-style jw healing. Not only did the rejection of medical care severely endanger me--my condition was made worse by herbs.
I was also essentially required to enter an "alt med" training program so I could fund my pioneering. The training program consisted of 2 days in a fellow dub's living room, talking about macrobiotics, iridology, acupuncture, qi, herbs and other poppycock.
But it was all legit though because we had an anatomy book.
looks like the faithful jws are back in the basement, the oct 15th wt has this image on page 9. but now the lights have been turned out!
i guess the persecution is really kicking in if the electric company has shut off their electricity, or the jws are really, really paranoid that the government is gonna get them if they have the lights on!.
only one guy is smart enough to use his tablet (far right), the rest of the jws are old school, using a lantern to read their bibles in the dark!
The kid is wearing a hoodie. A HOODIE to a meeting! Know who else wears hoodies? The grim reaper, and he's a demon! Therefore, hoodies are demonic.
He is supposed to be my spiritual superior. I am totally stumbled and never going back now.
interesting read.
if they already allow "fractions," there's no way they can ban this.. here:www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/nhs-to-give-volunteers-synthetic-blood-made-in-a-laboratory-within-two-years-10343279.html.
rebel8, curious around what year did this happen?
It would have been the mid 1980s.
zeal has always been a valued word in the jw arsenal.
even if you don't see it in your own local congregation, you keep hearing about it.
"zeal this" and "zeal that".
and or dresses?
just what is wrong with a smart pair of trousers?
i'm sure that the women would not start behaving like men or imagining that they have a dick!.

hahahahaha!!
I was encouraged to have mine chopped off as it was and still is very long.........
Thankfully, this quote does not refer to the same body part as the one I posted above it.
On a serious note, I cannot fathom how any female could be happy in that or any other xian cult. We are systematically subverted. Sick.
Not much of a difference.

talked with a pioneer recently, she was recounting her first experience with cart witnessing.. she brought the subject up, was going on & on & on & on about how wonderful the experience was, and how great, and how she enjoyed it so much, and it was so wonderful, and oh jehovah's blessing, and on and on and on...... a few questions to her revealed what really happened:.
-- a jw who owns a small restaurant in a strip mall allows jws to set up their cart outside his restaurant.
-- the restaurant is tucked pretty far out of the way, not prominent at all.
I would totally love to see one of these on Fremont St. in Vegas, right under the electric ceiling and next to the topless, morbidly obese, toothless woman who goes around being photographed with others.
The cart guards could take turns ziplining and dropping Awakes on the tourists.

It's made from stem cells. I think many dubs will stay away from it due to the cult's history with transplants.
Anyone here knew of a case where a sister or brother had Sickle Cell Anemia.
What was the out come?????
the latest controversy over the confederate flag just sums up to me the state of dysfunction that exists in american society.. in summary: a white supremacist nutter shoots 9 black people dead in a church.
he's clearly inspired by the messages of others which the confederate flag is often a symbol of.. it seems like a no-brainer to remove it.
not only isn't it removed, it isn't even lowered at all as a mark of respect.. and of course now there are the people who want to defend their right to have it.
Thnx Dr,Who - the background is appreciated.
Thanks from me too. That flag's reputation as a symbol of the Confederacy is only a kernel of truth.
