  Is it really allowed for a JW to listen to radio or look at TV??

  by Mr Fool in

  if almost every song, every radio host, every actor is influenced by satan it should be forbidden for every jw to listen to radio and look at tv, right?!

  or have i missed something?.

  Yep. We all sin everyday. Every activity beyond going to jw.org, going to meeting, out in service and studying is sinning.

  After South Park or some other show does a mormon, etc. spoof, I see people here wanting the same to be done to the JWs. But can you imagine what a boring episode that would be? They usually only get a 5 second remark about them being a doomsday cult or something (I still want the WT that looked like the one that Family Guy 1st used of the nuke mushroom cloud).

  I'm always glad whenever they themselves bring on the ridicule. It's a win-win situation for us. We don't look like raving lunatics and they bring that crap upon themselves.

  Speaking of which, I miss Sparlock.

  that's the word according to my mil.

  mrs hoser is starting a new career and the college and work training will take her four years to complete.

  her mom is giving her a hard time telling her that the system will be over before she graduates.

  Earth rotates the wrong way. ( no one even knew that )

  i've heard it mentioned a few times.. the rotating earth graphic in the background on jwtv rotates backwards.. i've mentioned it to the active and they are not concerned at all.. my response is, "it's something they are portraying that cannot be more wrong".. .

  two gb members have stood in front of it telling us to trust them.

  how can you when they think the sun rises in the west.... .

  Ha! True that!

  Well, maybe because of the whole "faith can move mountains" and whoever it was that stopped the sun, maybe the GB is letting everyone know that got plans to talk jehovah into changing the earths rotation.

  It could happen.

  ....and then I see prologos already said that.

  ......to see how much i get love bombed in my tight pants and bright socks.. i bet they'll totally respect my gb approved pinky ring though.. i haven't been to a meeting since 1994 so i wonder if they'll get the irony if i ask, "so what's changed?".

  good effin' lord....i just realized i've been out for 20 years.. .

  SoJo16- I would see challenging the narrative rather easy anymore as I see this as a dead religion. It's been 100 years since 1914. They were talking out of their ass. The generation is dead. None of this "overlapping generation" crap. Dead. *drops mike*

  Laverite- I might have done something like that in my youth. Now that I'm older....

  literally, a text message to my husband from one of his "friends".

  he also wrote, "it's in her hands.

  it's her move now.

  If I was you, my biggest fear is that my kids would be raised in this cult.

  "it's the intent that counts not the result.".

  i have been out of the jw organization for some 22 years now and i sometimes get a reminding jolt out the hoops that some will jump through to make their religion make sense to them.

  the first line in this post is what a jw on the street here in salinas told me on saturday when trying to justify the society's history of false prophecies.

  So they can ruin peoples lives, deny people a good education and a bunch of other crap because some old farts have "good intentions"? Ok, got it.

  To be fair, I think it was Neil DeGrasse Tyson that told Jon Stewart that they had the earth spinning backwards on The Daily Show as well.

  I bet the old commandment of having a 4 door service car will change to having a van that can haul a cart around.
