so i've noticed lately that my wife seems to think that in order to have a good marriage both people must be "spiritual".
she thinks being close as a family is all about family worship night, field service and praying together.
i know where these ideas are coming from but it is very hard to combat them.
Its part of the witness delusion
They also think witnesses are the happiest people on earth, when studies who actually something different.
Witness marriage is happy for the same reason the Stepford wives are happy.
Being a witness is no guarantee of a happy/good marriage. In fact I believe the cult adds pressure to a marriage. But in a high control group it is possible to have a high control marriage. Not necessarily happy

bryce williams (not real name, but on-air name) shot and killed 2 people on live television this morning in roanoke, va. he was wearing a go-pro camera, and uploaded his first-person video onto his social media accounts.
i've seen his twitter feed (before it was taken down), and not very far down he mentions being raised a jw.
That is a very good article.
he was the archetype of the American public mass shooter, someone who sought fame and a kind of meaning through death when he could not find it in his own life.
The brazen violence of mass shootings sates another particularly American craving: the desire for fame at any cost.
“The priority of fame is more common and stronger in the U.S. than perhaps in any other culture in the world,” Lankford said. And at the same time, “the distinction between fame and infamy seems to be disappearing.”
it will come as no surprise to many here that the jw approach to interpreting the bible is greatly flawed.
the reason that it is so flawed is that before anything is examined there are already some false assumptions that are made.
jws believe the following about the bible without evidence:.
Its called eisegesis vs. exegesis
While exegesis is the process of drawing out the meaning from a text in accordance with the context and discoverable meaning of its author, eisegesis occurs when a reader imposes his or her interpretation into and onto the text.
Most religious people actually commit eisegesis. The witnesses are pros at it. All thought they try to soften it. They still say Job was real, the flood was real, and on and on and on. They take them as true stories because it lends to their idea of what the bible is.

I advise not listening to the biased media. As i said it all has an agenda.
The american media would also convince you with the bombing in Mass that americans here are getting slaughtered by islamic terrorists. While that is not a fact. Tons more americans are killed by home grown terrorists,
The media is another high control manipulation factory.

Well the media is biased in all directions. Im not a right wing nutjob, Im not a gun "nut".
I'm a pretty normal person who happens to own a firearm. Knows how to keep it safe from other people. Knows how to use it safely.
Guns have existed in America for a long time, MASS SHOOTINGS (that I promise you the disgusting media drools over) are relatively new. Since the Mid 80's they really took off. then with columbine that ushered in a new era in the America mass shooting age. Broadcast murder. Watch it live! America didn't discover the gun in the 80's, something changed no? what changed in the 80's?
Firearm death decrease
Firearm ownership increases
Mass shootings increases
The spectacle of the mass shooting is what is driving them. Not the guns

I agree with WingCommander.
A lot of sweeping statements are made because everyone is pissed off
"Americans are gun-nuts"
the anti-gun talk that reared its ugly head and derailed this thread was not instigated by any pro gun person, and seems to be an attack on americans in general because of the actions of some certifiable maniac.
that is sad

Are you advocating for him?
what does that clowns views have to do with saying that anyone who kills innocent people in grandstanding fashion has screws loose?
