I had to give Brett Kavanaugh a pass on such an allegation as was presented so I will do the same for Joe.
That said, I do think the charge needs to be looked into more seriously than it has been.
Minimus said: "I bet Joe could pass a lie detector test and say he didn’t molest anyone. He doesn’t know where he is right now."
Sadly, I think Joe would pass the test for such a reason.

Do You Believe Joe Biden Sexually Assaulted A Woman In The 90’s?
by minimus inthere is an allegation floating around saying he assaulted one of his female staffers .
most mainstream media do not report on this claim.
they either don’t believe it or don’t want to believe it.. funny how if it were brett kavanaugh or donald trump, they would be all over it.

Stolen from a Facebook meme:
There should be NO billionaires.
Once you reach $999 Million, all further earnings go to taxes for the poor, you get a trophy that says "I won capitalism" and they name a dog park after you.

Circuit Overseer to Answer My Questions + Concerns...or Not
by Research inhello all, i'm 'researching', a jw who is in the first steps of taking a look at their beliefs.. i've semi-recently (about a couple weeks ago) heard about the sexual abuse cases (pennsylvania attorney general’s investigation request) and then the arc in 2015. this lead to a deep investigation, which lead to many questions arising.
a jw friend of mine suggested i be careful (due to apostates) and ask the brothers.
so i typed up my questions + concerns and emailed an elder my mother has known for a long time.

All you get from them will probably be "Have faith, wait on Jehovah, the world belongs to Satan and many people lie to make money." Then they will go into the "No True Scotsman" defense. (You can look that up in wikipedia.) Basically, if a JW isn't acting right, then they are not a true JW.
All the stuff about the 2 witnesses- they will NOW say that is just part of the congregation and doesn't change the legal side of the issue and they will not really address how it has done so much harm, like in the findings of the ARC.
But ask away. -

Just as most will never let go, I will never fully let go of hope that my people will let go- or at least I hope my wife will lose enough interest to stay fully involved into her retirement years.
They may never let go, but they get more and more involved with "the world" and less and less involved with living and breathing and thinking JW stuff 24/7. You never know. -

by waton ina picture so embarrassing, even wtbts inc does not want to describe it?
this week's study, no 52, march 1 2020 wt dec 1919. picture description (on page 27) for pages 23 and 26 but not for the one on page 24, too embarrassing?
picture it, page 24. the wt lady, with a head volume ~8 times that of the gentlemen sitting behind her, eager to have her voice boom in the kingdom hall, raising arms with 3 other "sisters", whereas all 4 males are abstaining.

I get that you are talking about an uncomfortable discussion and the "sisters" are shown ready to comment. Beyond that, I am not sure what point you are driving.
I am kind of fascinated at the use of tablets in the photo. "Stop using our ink and bring your tablet." WOW! -

Where is the best comprehensive NWT error list?
by Jake101 inhi.
while there are many excellent web sites that explain a few jw nwt bible translation problems, are there any comprehensive lists of nwt scripture errors online please?.
thanks .

The problem is much different than listing NWT errors. Translating ancient texts from the copies of copies of copies (etc.) allows for many errors to be unproven as such. The error is mostly in interpretation and application of your version.
Plus, one could list the same type of errors about any translation of the Bible.

Amber Scorah on cults
by dozy inamber gives a superb talk here.
i couldn't help but contrast her delivery - fluent , articulate , without any notes - not even a rostrum or podium to hide behind - with the numerous talks and items i heard when i was a jw.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7wfpaqcqcw.
i am reading her book " leaving the witness " just now - it is superb - i just can't put it down.
-

OnTheWayOut
Its a great book, thats a great TED talk.
The biggest part of Amber's book being a thorn is it being a mainstream published book and her getting interviews such as one on the Daily Show.
Many great ex-JW books are barely known except to those that are already ex-JW's.

Would You Ever Go Back To The Witnesses??
by minimus inevery once in a while you hear people say they actually “miss” their old witness friends and or family.
some would have even stayed in the organization if they became a bit more liberal and open minded.

I wanted to say some clever "They couldn't pay me enough to go back" thing.
But, if I could be high on marijuana or mushrooms each meeting, and be totally inactive and not even comment except in silly ways that I find amusing, and I was free to laugh out loud at anything anytime, then I might attend for some amount of pay, but it would be a mighty sum.

I'm glad I'm on the way out, frankly.
Steal my forum name and you are glad about it. To avoid confusion, you get the "glad I'm" as part of it. GIOTWO for short.

When the doctor pulled my screaming body out of mom all those 7 decades ago...
Always the dramatic story-teller. Hey, we were all "born" one way or another, most of us similarly.
Thanks for continually screaming all these decades later.
