  Amazing how paranoid they become when asked a simple question. Right away they want to find out who you are and what you are up to.

  bloody religion !!! how could any sane people do this - 2 girls to be raped as a punishment for their brother's "crime."

  been sitting on this for a few days, confining my anger, to an area where i can control it.. two indian sisters to be raped as 'punishment' after brother eloped.

  two sisters in india - one aged only 15 years - are to be raped as "punishment" for their brother running away with a married woman from a higher caste in the latest case to shock the country.meenakshi kumari, who is 23, and her younger sister, will then be paraded naked with their faces blackened through the streets, according to a ruling from the all-male village council.. the family are from the dalit caste, historically known as "untouchables".

  however, the brother fell in love with a woman from the higher, jat, caste.

  my wife and i planned on fading but the elders now want a shepherding call and we are just done.

  i know that many play the game to try to stay in, but i'm not a game player and neither is my wife.

  our families already shun us because we reached out to a disfellowshipped family member.

  Sending a letter of dissociation is not playing their game. It is just what you said closure. It's letting them know in no uncertain terms that you don't believe it anymore and that you are done with it and are moving one with your life. I've never understood why some consider this "playing their game". Playing a game is not coming out and telling them how you feel and pretending you still believe it to avoid confrontation.

  harare, zimbabwe (ap) zimbabwe has accused a pennsylvania doctor of illegally killing a lion in april, as it seeks to extradite a minnesota dentist who killed a well-known lion named cecil in july.. jan casimir seski of murrysville, pennsylvania, shot the lion with a bow and arrow near hwange national park, without approval and on land where it was not allowed, said zimbabwe's national parks and wildlife management authority.. landowner headman sibanda was arrested and is assisting police, it said.. seski, a gynecological oncologist who directs the center for bloodless medicine and surgery at allegheny general hospital in pittsburgh, is a big-game hunter according to safari outfitters and bow-hunting sites.

  kill shots on the sites identify "dr. jan seski" as the man standing next to slain animals including elephants, a hippo, an ostrich and antelopes such as an impala, a kudu, and a nyala.. seski did not respond to messages left by the associated press at his home and with an answering service for his medical practice.

  Kind of ironic that a doctor involved in bloodless surgery would be out seeking the blood of innocent animals not for food but for sport.

  I can see doing this for a short time if you're working on a plan to get them out by introducing facts. Maybe getting them to know people outside the organization you feel can get them to start thinking. If your talking about people that keep attending year after year pretending to believe the Watchtower BS they aren't doing anybody any good. They are making it easier for their spouse to stay in and along the way might even inadvertently be getting other people involved in the Watchtower. I've heard of cases where both the husband and wife hadn't believed in years but were both just pretending to rather than make waves. They might have been out years earlier if one of them had taken a stand and said something.

  all witnesses are ministers.

  from the time a witness is baptized, they are considered ministers.

  this religion is getting more ridiculous each passing day.

  I remember hearing the one about John Denver. I also remember one about Mickey Rooney. It went something like this. Mickey Rooney war very patriotic and when he found out his gardener was a JW he fired him.

  Jdubs have to be the only people who enjoy the idea of being persecuted by the rich and famous enough to make up stories about it.

  by Dagney in

  i'm looking for some clever comebacks.

  i really don't care that i am an apostate, but would like to deliver a quick comeback or two to perhaps make the other person think.

  any suggestions most welcome.

  I would ask them: "Do you even know what the word means?  The Watchtower is in a constant state of apostasy. Discarding their present beliefs for new and different ones i.e. "new light".  The problem is that their new beliefs i.e. "new light" always seem to prove just false as their previous beliefs and are soon disregarded for more "new light" which is replaced by more "new light" which soon becomes replace by more "new light".  An endless cycle of apostasy.   So before you are so quick to label me an apostate realize that you are also an apostate.  The difference is my apostasy comes form my personal understanding of things. I adjust my beliefs according to my own understanding of things where as your apostasy is based on the whims of some old men in Brooklyn who you have never met and for all you know might be quite insane.

  Why don't they retire?  Oh that's right no pension no 401K.  Even if they don't believe in it anymore they had better pretend to or they won't even have a roof over their head.  What a sad waste of their lives.
