Fat Men with Beards are Unclean

by ozziepost in

jw

have you noticed how illustrations in the watchtower magazine reinforce witness stereotypes?.

the april 15 issue of the watchtower, on the back page, shows a man viewing pornographic material on his computer screen.

the appearance is not of a cleancut man with business shirt and tie in this case; no, this unclean man is portly and has a black beard.

Deacon

Portly sounds so much better than fat...
sigh, I wonder if he was treated like a leper during the photoshoot..so hard for Witnesses to be unaffected by physical appearance....

I went to one assembly in 1996 with a beard...I was a brother in good standing, whatever that is, and was the only one of 3000 stopped and asked questions of...when I asked the attendant why he stopped me, the beard perhaps?.. he got annoyed and blustered and walked away...bugger...

Waiting...

There are very few places left for people who have a hurt deep within them, to escape to for short periods of time. This board provides the medium for interchange and encouragent, and dang it...somewhere to be goofy for a while to let go of all the imposed restrictions that have been felt by ex and current members of the JW's.

Now, as for the conversations that go on from time to time within the chat facility....the content is usually determined by the members using it at the current time of being there...if an individual does not like the content, then they have the choice to leave.

Now, do I like discussions about sexual perversions and practices? no...and therefore I chose to not enter into the discussion...

This is a discussion board..people discuss things and we have NO control over it..Simon does and he chooses to let it continue as is. End of story.

Now on a side note. I have no idea as to the reasoning behind your post above, the denigration of professional status for named members etc...I have no understanding of why you posted that except....for those of us in the field of human behaviour....we actually do understand the deeper problems you have experienced, and are exhibiting traits still of...

Stop the attacks, stop the criticisms....you only change peoples opinions by the amount of love you can show them, not by harsh words or force...a persons mind changed against their will is a person of the same opinion still.....

The context of the conversation was amplified by your own experiences....

should you choose to see this as an attack on you personally..then you would be very wrong....

talking to my cousin just now, she has been inactive for years.... she told me she just started going back to the meetings, hard!!!

i asked her a one-word question--"why?".

she immediately flipped out on me, and said because she doesn't want to be responsible for her children's death at armageddon (of course).

Deacon

LDH.. your a dirty filthy apostate....and I cant have anything more to do with you.

Paradise earth or heaven?

by Pathofthorns in

it has been said to me "what other organization offers a hope of a paradise earth?

" to "prove" that witnesses have the "truth".. it seems to me that this "spiritual materialism" and the inability to see beyond the physical and fleshly world draw many to become and remain witnesses.. as for me, i fail to see such a fleshly reward set out in scripture and more so i cannot possibly see how anything fleshly could live forever in a problem-free environment.. everything fleshly and physical is temporary and changing.

nothing lives forever.

Deacon

hate to admit it Path...but Im waaaaaaaaaaaaay ahead on you with this thought pattern...been thinking it for 20 some years...
so now you see why I would never discuss these things....a lot to lose ..even if it is only wishful thinking...

your bro.

Should Christians drink cappucino?

by ozziepost in

jw
friends

should a true christian drink a cappucino?.

perhaps you have never considered the matter, but what are the origins of this popular beverage?.

the name cappucino is derived from the word to describe the bones of 4,000 capuchin friars in rome, italy.

Deacon

Freuds greatest achievement was the postulation of a theory that is very difficult to disprove.

It doesnt mean it is right...it just means that I had to waste 7 years learning it along with other drivel....and discard all of it when another set of analysis models came along...

oh well

Any substance which produces a reaction, is technically a drug. As to the benefitis of the stimulant....that is another question...meetings produce a reaction in me solely on the basis of being there...I fall asleep.
