been sitting on this for a few days, confining my anger, to an area where i can control it.. two indian sisters to be raped as 'punishment' after brother eloped.
two sisters in india - one aged only 15 years - are to be raped as "punishment" for their brother running away with a married woman from a higher caste in the latest case to shock the country.meenakshi kumari, who is 23, and her younger sister, will then be paraded naked with their faces blackened through the streets, according to a ruling from the all-male village council.. the family are from the dalit caste, historically known as "untouchables".
however, the brother fell in love with a woman from the higher, jat, caste.
The article says the two sisters are to be raped and paraded around naked. I would hope that this is some figurative ancient ritualistic punishing ceremony and not to be taken as something they actually planning on doing for real!
If they plan on really doing this then my first question is who would be chosen as the one to do the rape? And whom ever is chosen I doubt he'll be around long if he actually goes through with it.
ive been having an email exchange with a jw family member and the discussion seem to have become a bit heated and im not quite sure why.
i dont think ive said anything obviously offensive and ive been very careful with my wording.
but i think im sometimes a bit tone deaf with these things.
anyone who has read what happened here, both to the ancient site and also the grizzly murder of antiquity scholar khalid asaad, consider this.
what religious/theocracy on earth now most resembles the stories of "god's chosen people" of the old testament?
probably isis does.
yes, i have returned.. a short recap of major events since my inactivity began: i finally revealed to my parents that i do not believe the same thing they believe in (after i was caught smooching my girlfriend by a family of good-for-nothing pieces of human feces), and of course they view themselves as failed parents who were unable to brainwash their children.
that is, of course, the reason why they are much more controlling over what i do in my life now (my mom even tried having a "bible study" with me).
i told them everything and i was unable to dent their jw imposed mind force field, while also exposing a clear jw misunderstanding of probability, evolution, history, logic/reason, and the big bang theory.. in a conversation i had with my mother a few weeks back (i also heard this rumor before, but my mother told me it again), she mentioned how the un held a summit of all religions and when the jws presented themselves and mentioned their preaching work warning of the coming un ban on religion (referring to an international organization who can't even prevent genocide, much less impose human rights), a un official came up to the jw who presented the cult and told him to "speed up the preaching work", because they plan on doing the ban soon.. it saddens me to think of how ignorant jws are in relation to the principles upon which the un was founded and being unaware that the un at least has some sense as to not ban religion, but this rumor, as ridiculous as it is, needs to be put at rest.
Searcher:Two pioneer sisters were studying with an old lady who gave them a cup of tea on each visit, accompanied by a bowl of walnuts, which they always ate. After several weeks of studying, the old lady brought out the tea and walnuts again - but this time, they were chocolate-covered walnuts. The sisters were delighted at this change, until the old lady apologised. She said that she'd been very busy that morning, and hadn't had the time to suck the chocolate off the nuts before they arrived!
I've never heard that one before. A story like that could only come from the macabre Edgar Alan Poe like mind of a Brit. LOL
i have been waiting to post this 100th post to come up with something half decent.
while i was driving this morning this is what i was thinking about.
there are a lot of new folks on here, and who knows how many lurkers checking in.

I'll bet more postings on sites like this one are read and closely considered at Witness gatherings than the repetitive formulaic teachings of the watchtower especially by younger ones.
Congrats on your postings I have considered them.
For all you witnesses out there there especially the younger ones honour your father and mother but most importantly honour yourself by getting a good education and don't trudge through or go through life but grow through life.
cruella and jaundice bought a old truck for their clean-up - janitorial business and their steering column had a few missing pins, they started telling people that my dad was trying to kill them.
there are several people who heard them make these false allegations, cruella said they were coming down a big grade and almost wrecked and it was dad's fault.
their going nuts and this guy is the cobe!.
so i had a discussion with my mother about this, and she claims that because of this that: "we are surely living in the last days right now" while i must admit myself that the situation seem chaotic, i don't want to believe that it is the last days.
so question is, how do i face an opinion like that?
new here but looking forward to joining in some of the discussions with you all.. a small bit about me: i'm shane.
was raised as a jw in the uk by my mum (single parent family) from about 2 years of age.
got baptised at 15 for all the wrong reasons.

Large flows of immigrants from various poorer war torn regions is to be expected from time to time in the 21'st century. World overpopulation and all the crisis that humanity faces is nothing like the gloom and doom prophesied by end times Armageddon spewing cults like the witnesses. If you get a chance listen to what a real scientist and statistician has to say. One that makes a compelling case is Prof Hans Rosling.
looks like this:.
