  i nearly fell off my seat.

  this 30ish jw elder came strolling in the movie theater with his wife and a huge tub of pop corn in his arm to watch x-men 2: xmen united.

  i couldn't believe the hypocrasy.........they teach not to even watch much tv, much less go to a movie.

  I think you guys are pulling at strings here, nobody in the society has come out and said anything against either the first X-Men or its sequel. In fact, when I was an active JW I saw the first X-Men w/ my mom (a regular pioneer) and my dad (a ministerial servant). you guys need to get a life. your negativity and picking apart things is worse than the people in the cult!

  Kingdom Hall Spankings

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most meetings i went to, children were brought to the washrooms in the back to be disciplined.

  often i could hear a child yell or cry due to the spanking given by the parent.

  people in the hall would have that look on their face meaning that it was alright to discipline a child by spanking him.

  it always seemed to me that my mom admonished me out of anger or embarrassment of what her pioneer buddies would think rather than providing guidance. Anytime you do that to a child and you are not in a controlled state it equals child abuse. I think my mom would be really hurt if I said that to her, she's so brainwashed she probably has no idea.

  X-JW Hypocrisy.

  tolerance : the capacity for or practice of recognizing and respecting the opinions, practices, behavior or beliefs of others.. sadly, there is a double standard on this board practiced by many.

  i have had a spat with stinky pantz about tolerance and we have both apologized.

  this defintion is here for the others who think that tolerance is something that only christians don't have much of!

  I have no tolerance for idiotic religious opinions, XJW or JW, Catholic or Lutheran. Sometimes they can all sound a bit brainwashed.

  I bought a 1991 Honda Civic in 1999 with 66,000 miles for $3400 and have only had routine work done on it (including timing belt type stuff)...and the insurance is LOW! I'd never part with it.

  My wife owns a 2000 Ford Focus....we've put on 50,000 miles...no problems, excellent customer service. I'd highly recommend it.

  well, now that my wife michalina is 20 weeks pregnant with our first girl (or child i should say), isabelle rose, people who have treated us like we are dead for the last 15 months are coming out, pretending to be our friends all of sudden.

  even people we considered friends when we were in pa who have basically shunned us want in our lives now - of course - we are having a baby!

  this religion and people within it never cease to amaze me.
