  re: Would you rather be a robot?

  if you mean, would i rather be devoid of freewill, then i guess, if i was, then i would have no concept of freewill and would therefore not miss it.

  of course, if it were taken from me completely, as opposed to the many small ways that it is infringed upon daily by god, governments, family commitments etc., and i had awareness of its absence, then i would imagine that i would miss it.

  i suppose that it would depend on the benevolence of whoever was in control.

  who was DFd because of "immorality"?

  by ShadowX in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  seriously, just wondering.

  they (dubs) say that most of us are booted 'cause of that.

  i personally was but only because i was already out mentally and in every other sense.

  i didn't think that anyone was df'd for immorality, only not being repentant.

  there were loads of immoral doers in our hall, they just knew how to turn on the waterworks at the judicial hearing.

  i commited fornication, but was ousted for not showing "godly repentance" (having no relatives in the know, i was not coached as to what to say at my hearing)

  i must admit that i was half praying that this would be the verdict in the hour that they left me waiting in the library.

  i'm not believing what i'm reading here.

  don't the gb or boe know that it is painful and in some cases damaging, for an unaroused woman to have sex?

  with no physical stimulation, and i am assuming no "dirty talk" or porn, just the prospect of have this thing stuck in your dry old (what's the acceptable word?) coochie. not going to get anyone's er, juices flowing.

  there must be a run on ky jelly in pharmacists near jw homes.

  either that or rampant cystitis in the congregation. maybe that's why they're always nipping out to the toilet in meetings.

  2. friends

  a movie based on the book, the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, will be released this month on the 29th.. .

  in this book it is learned that the answer to the question of life the universe and everything is "42".

  if one pays attention one will notice frequent naturally occurrences of this number everywhere.

  A comment I heard tonight

  by Generic Man in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  tonight i heard one of the most cruel and twisted comments i've ever heard at the platform.

  the topic was the apocalypse and whether or not children will be slaughtered.

  through one side of his mouth, the po stated that the bible is not clear on the matter, while out the other side he pointed to all those old testament accounts where children were killed.

  oh dear, schizm

  admittedly, i have only been using this site for five days, and there may be some more not too amiable people lurking within its forums that i have not yet come across, but may i say, from the several times that i have read your contributions to discussions, that you do seem to come across, rightly or wrongly, as a thoroughly unpleasant person.

  maybe you are not, but that is how you definitely come across on screen. i hope that you are a much nicer person than you seem

  Name Things You Can Get Counseled,Reproved or Disfellowshipped For

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  since the jw religion is sooooo restrictive, it is good to think about just how wacky this cult is.....for example, you can get counseled for buying a 2 door car as opposed to a "pioneer" car (4 door).

  and didn't you hate just how you got counselled.

  there were the obligatory couple of positive remarks, followed by the obligatory "BUT" then they would hit you with the real reason for the "shepherding call".

  don't bullshit me man, just say what you really came here to say, don't sugar the pill

  Brits. Will you vote in next month's General Election?

  by nicolaou in

  1. social
  2. current

  as everyone had guessed, the election has been set for may 5th.

  personally, this is my first opportunity 'post wt mind-control' to vote for our next government.

  i don't suppose that i will - 40 years of 'neutrality' and non-involvement have rather flattened my desire to take part in political change.. how about you?

  hi nicolaou

  i voted for the first time in the last euro election, just to dip my toe in the water, so to speak. i was a bit scared, but it was a postal vote so i knew that none of my former acquaintances would catch me in the act.

  i voted green - and felt like i had, if not made a difference, at least contributed something to society. it felt good.

  i will be voting this time around, haven't decided who for, but i still feel good that i can and am making this contribution to the common good, i suppose. (although it will be a bit more scary turning up at a polling station - i live in a very small town)
