Those must be the rebel angels, S&R. Wearing beards, and tooting their own horns.

Why are there no black angels?
by snare&racket injw literature is racist as hell.
jesus looks like an american folk singer, the governing body look like a corrupt version of an enron luncheon.. the jw's literally print different magazines for africa with african pictures, black people instead of white, to make it 'more appealing' to them.... just to be clear that means they think the opposite is true too!.
....and then there is the lack of black angels..... .

Experiences: CAA needs to emotionally vomit... catharsis... release ... etc.
by confusedandalone inok, so i have been on this journey for about a year or so.
i feel like i am no longer a part of this whacked out religion, however at the same time after spending so many years in it there have been a huge array of things that have happened to me that i feel i need to talk about.
not because they will help anyone who reads them, not because they are the slightest bit interesting, but because i can no longer keep them bottled up and expect to move on.. alot of things i have experienced hurt me deeply... although i was able to move forward with my life these things tend to hang around in my mind because i have never been able to tell anyone outside of my wife.

Ughhh! What a small, small man!
He will trip over himself, at some point. Just leave him to his path.

CAA, does your brother ever crawl back into the viper's egg from which he hatched?!
He sounds so full of venom and vindictiveness, long before your recent clashes with him. What is it with him... first-born-should've-been-an-only-child syndrome (i.e., resentment that you even exist)?

Congratulations, Maeve! That's great news
Are you able to enjoy a normal diet now? Can you indulge yourself with a few food treats, in celebration?

I need to decide today: I will have a solo-'Christmas' (no festivities, just the time off), and am considering a spa hotel in Prague.
Mmm... Czech beer and hearty foods!

I think Im an Atheist :(? :)?
by chrisuk inive been pondering my beliefs for a while now and ive come across things that i just cant accept.
i was recently walking with a christian who stated that the universe couldnt just come from nothing.
he said that the universe was so complex that it needed a designer, he also said something which ive heard before.

I prefer the giant [yet] unanswered questions in science, [...] over certainty unfounded.
Beautiful!

Please don't take the mick....but I got disfellowshipped for kneeing an elder in the nads
by outinthemeadows inan elder in my congregation got on my nerves because he kept putting his arm around me and i'd asked him to stop.
a few weeks later he did the same thing again so i used my knee against his micro-penis.
a judicial committee was formed even though i was being sexually harrassed by this octapus of an elder.

If you are an American, I can get some greater understanding of your litigious mindset - otherwise I am baffled by what it is you hope to achieve. Your comment about the size of his genitalia is gratuitous but it may fit with the effect you are trying to achieve (i.e., dehumanize your victim).
Steve2, I don't see anywhere in the OP where outinthemeadows suggests litigation as an option.
Besides, the expression "Don't take the mick" (in the thread title) suggests a British national, not American.
Moreover,
he keptputting his arm around me and I'd asked him to stop.
negates your mitigation
If he was trying to be more interpersonally close (and failing to notice or ignoring your discomfort), your violence still apears over the top and he could have grounds for suing you.
Your response sounds like you've had occasion for personal sensitivity to the topic.

Do you frown upon tattoos?
by confusedandalone ini am very interested in hearing from people who really think that people with tattoos are somehow weird or cagey individuals.
i would just like to get your outlook on this matter.
today i was in a grocery store and i sawe this guy with his two kids and his wife shopping.

I often see the reference to "old, wrinkly skin" as a reason against the permanence of tattoos; this is an odd barrier to raise, I think.
Old, wrinkly skin will always look like old, wrinkly skin... with or without the addition of color (faded or distinct). There is no disguising it. No undoing it.
Besides, how many older people has anyone seen baring large areas of traditionally intimate body parts (decorated, or otherwise)? A tattoo acquired for personal reasons will likely remain in personal safekeeping - especially once the wrinkly years arrive.

oh dear I think I messed up and pushed too hard
by Frazzled UBM inreading all the posts on the wt study on higher education and careers really fired me up yesterday.
i have 2 undergraduate and 2 postgraduate degerees and a career as a result which allows me to provide well for my jw wife and son.
i was already unhappy because after 5 or 6 weeks of not going and appearing to be making progress she went back on sunday for the second sunday in a row and as usual was away all day.

If anyone, ever! threatend [sic] to take my son out of my life for good I'd go straight to a solicitor and I'd also consider if that was the kind of person I wanted to spend my life with, someone who found it acceptble [sic] for me to live under threat of loosing [sic] my child.
^^ This.
You sound too intelligent a man to submit to emotional abuse (the threat of kidnap of your child), and to the manipulation of tears.

Fate of Jehovah's Witnesses?
by Thoughtless init disheartens me the most when there is a possibility that faithful, hardworking, honest witnesses may be destroyed or be put out of god's favor.
a lot of brothers and sisters have risked their lives because they thought they were doing the right thing to please them.
so for those who still believe in god/afterlife, do you think that these witnesses are out of god's memory?

I confess: I just l-o-v-e Simon's recent answer to a question of a similar flavour, to wit -
Isn't this like arguing over which pronunciation of "experiamus" will actually produce the spell?
IT'S JUST A BAD STORY !
On the head!
