What? No lightening? No voices from the heavens condemning him? I'm not a fan of such activism but you gotta admit, this guy was on target. I am sure someone will wonder what he means with such accusations. I wonder if any studies got an earful enough to ask questions. He would have planted a desire to "defend" against such apostate accusations in my heart leading to research followed by honest self assessment.

Would You Be Angry If You Were Maligned and Lied About Unfairly?

people can’t understand why people like trump and cavanaugh literally get angry and upset over accusations that can ruin their lives.

if i was falsely accused by a mob of something, i would be defending myself vigorously!

i think it’s ridiculous when people criticize others for not just taking it.

Enjoyed the Memorial

by ScottyRex in

probably not a popular opinion on here....and haven't been actively attending meetings since 1988....(i know i know a submarine attender) however thoroughly enjoyed attending this evening...was good to see lots of people i remember whilst growing up in this faith, they were genuine and the whole atmosphere was one of love.

sure if i suddenly wanted to become active again and didn't change my lifestyle they would drop me like a bomb.....however i haven't and won't and they didn't and don't.

this works for me.. i cannot demonize the witnesses on what i have seen tonight.

Even xmas services are happy and full of good cheer. Its the next Sunday that the daggers come out as they grill you about "where have you been"?

Scotty, you can see through it but the lurkers may not.

To those trying to leave the cult, stay away from Kingdom Halls. Even old friends are ultimately going to judge you. Scotty may have had a good time, that's cool. He's educated about the BS and can slide in and out without damage. If you're trying to fade and don't have to go, DON'T.

Should illegal immigrants be sent “Only” to Sanctuary Cities?

by I believe in overlapping in

pro-illegal immigration advocates are fighting president trump’s efforts to keep illegal immigrants out of the united states.

trump wants immigrants to enter the usa legally and in a controlled manner so as not to tax the local economies of their resources that will burden the local law abiding citizens.

“pro illegal immigrant’s advocates insist that illegal immigrants are overwhelmingly good people fleeing bad circumstances in poverty-stricken, gang-ridden or war-torn countries.

Of course, all those people coming from the 3 Mexican countries should be stuck in San Francisco. Common sense tells you that. Since they will be in SF they will become gay and solve the anchor baby problem. Yep, Trump move alright.

So Many People Are Overly Emotional and Acting Crazy Spoiled!

youths in school have meltdowns anytime someone “offends” them.

grownups at a dinner table flip out on each other over politics.

drivers are ready to smash each other up if someone disrespects them on the road.

Mandatory Vaccinations...are you for or against ??

there’s now a measles outbreak.

there is a jewish sect in new york that refuses vaccines.

some parents do not want their children vaccinated..

In the 80's a witness couple had a little girl. They gave the baby the course of shots and shortly afterwards she showed signs of brain damage and severe retardation. (I don't know the PC word for that, sorry). They swore it was the vaccination for whooping cough and pertussis that caused the damage, even threatening a lawsuit. It took a year or two but the baby was diagnosed with microcephaly. The family broke up and the 8 year old girl died in foster care. Tragic. It was not the vaccination. Protect the public, force either vaccinations or isolate those not vaccinated from public schools.

Consummed

i am head over heels in love with a man who was raised jw.

i believe he is fighting demons, however, and is torn between what his heart wants to do, his beliefs, his depression & lack of self confidence.

he has had 2 wives.

Possibilities:

1. He is a half-assed witness. Expect him to be unreliable in his convictions. The other wives may have known something you don't yet.

2. He will become an uber-dub and expect you to convert, submit and become a Stepford wife.

3. He is more mentally troubled than you think.

So I've been warned about whether I should reveal my feelings of a Deity

by HiddenPimo in

all i have to say about that is that i agree with the following quote attributed to marcus aurelius:.

One great thing about the attacks on your faith is that you still get to believe what you want and express it here. I don't have the God delusion any longer, but that doesn't make you a fool for believing it. Now if you did what we all did and sold magazines for a corporation in God's name then we were all guilty of being fools.
