Planting seeds of thought with my JW doctor

by Faithful Witness in

i have hesitated to post anything about my recent encounters with our jw doctor, because i don't really want anyone to insult her or me, for continuing to rely on her for medical care.

our family doctor is a jehovah's witness.

we were referred to her by our former bs conductor.

I'm with Band On The Run with this one. I could never go to any professional with a high level of education who is still a JW, especially someone that old and has been in the organization for a long time. I can't help thinking there is a level of dishonesty that they are holding onto to allow themselves to be part of an organization that is anti-education and them preaching that and them being in a career that requires an extensive and continually ongoing education. It demonstrates double standards and hypocrisy to me.

I cut my cable cord some time back to avoid watching shit like that "reality show". If I wanted to see and hear ignorant religious nut cases like him I would have never left the kingdom hall.

Many JWs are chaste or virtuous homosexuals and "in good standing"

by Rufus T. Firefly in

[it gets under my skin when people post that a jw was df'd for being homosexual.

if one ever was df'd simply for being homosexual, one would have ample grounds for a lawsuit.

the comments in brackets are mine.].

Ex-elders here correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the elder's manual the Shepherding book mention that if it is found out that an individual JW spends the night at the house of a known homosexual of the same sex that would be grounds for disfellowshipping. I thought I remember seeing that in the elder's book.

Persecuted Christians

by IMHO in

jw
friends

christians are the single most widely persecuted religious group in the world today.

1. christian churches around the world have set apart the month of november to remember and pray for the persecuted church, through the international day of prayer for the persecuted church (idop).. 2. according to the u.s. department of state, christians in more than 60 countries face persecution from their governments or surrounding neighbors simply because of their belief in christ.. 3. with the exception of four official state-controlled churches in pyongyang, christians in north korea face the risk of detention in the prison camps, severe torture and, in some cases, execution for practicing their religious beliefs.

north koreans suspected of having contact with south korean or other foreign missionaries in china, and those caught in possession of a bible, have been known to be executed.. 4. in syria, christians are increasingly becoming the target of violent attacks.

Christians provoke a lot of their persecution.

Great Music

by Berengaria in

it appears that many of the best music threads have been purged.

i can't imagine the formula that would eliminate such wonderousness while preserving "involuntary muscular contractions", but so it is.. the first offering.

Christians and conspiracy theories?

by Seraphim23 in

jw
friends

i often have a pop at certain kinds of atheists but for a change i thought id have a pop at certain kinds of fellow christians.

on the last christen web site i was thrown out of there was much love for the conspiratorial view of the world.

they were mostly x witnesses who were very much still in its mind set.

"I have been close enough to the seats of power to see how it works."

For somebody to accuse somebody else of using "appeal to authority" and then you come out with a line that jgnat, do you expect people to appeal to your authority because you may have rubbed elbows with some people in power? Are you sure you are not guilty of your own confirmation bias?

So are Republicans now openly terrorists?

by Simon in

they seem determined to undermine the us democracy and shut the government down hurting employees and veterans.. what a despicable bunch, hope they get their asses kicked for what they are doing..

Giordano,

Funny you didn't address any other part of my post but that one quote but just took what I said out of context. If you would have read the remainder of my post you would have seen that most of the young people cannot affford that since most are basically homeless and living with their parents. Hell a lot of young people cannot even support their kids and are having their grandparents raise them.

If you are going to address what I post, please address everything I say in my post and not just part of it.
