  this is related to a comment i made in a previous thread.

  cults exist in many diverse parts of society.

  this includes politics.

  One of my biggest disappointments waking up was that politics (at least in the US) is utter BS. . . . . oh well. . —Breakfast of Champions

  That is what l feel too, BOC. US politics can’t recover because of the money involved ( big corporations allowed to contribute and lobby). That insures that candidates will conduct themselves with their owners interest in mind. Running a campaign costs.

  That alone has been enough to make BS of democracy.

  We are-including the politicians —pieces in someone else’s Monopoly game .

  l know this isn’t on topic.,just had to agree with you.

  i love gospel music.

  i don't feel like i need to believe in "jebus" to appreciate the music.

  i can't go into a gospel church because i might just get religion again - that or i'll be grabbing the mic on be on the stage waving my hands and praising the lord.. i particularly like dylan's gospel period.

  immigration: the truth about the lie: crimecrime: do immigrants increase rates of violence?

  there has been a lot of talk about how immigrants pose a threat to the safety of this country by increasing crime rates.

  is there any truth to this, or is it "fake news.

  One cannot say that people from a given country are criminal. That's just nonsense, and I don't need a study or numbers to back that up. Being human is enough proof.

  Jeezus, you have a brass neck , Scratchme.

  Amen.

  The real question should be ... do illegal immigrants increase rates of violence?

  illegals are the quiet ones in my area. I know some (Hispanics)The crime rates seem to come in the following generations. The ones that are “privileged Americans” if they do not get an education and get away from violence.

  In Germany pitched battles with death and injuries are fought in the streets by migrant clans on a daily basis; there does not a week goes by that young females are not raped, murdered by "New Germans" .---

  Messed up young Muslim men? A special subset, l think.

  Helping my husband wake up, need advice.

  by Whynot in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my husband is dfed but he is a prime example of someone who was a puppet for the watchtower.

  i was able to wake him a little with the sex abuse scandal.

  he was an elder and is very familiar with those rules.

  Whynot — Revelation 14:1-5 Is the scripture that helped me out of the the Organization. That bible passage convinced me that the GB was wrong to arrogate the ultimate authority they claimed. That passage says plainly that the defining characteristic of these people would be that they “follow the Lamb wherever he goes” yet the GB teaches that these ones must defer to the ( fallible) teachings of the GB. This teaching overthrows the “brothers of Christ”—the 144,000.

  Ceding authority to these men destroyed and outlawed genuine faith even among the so-called Anointed.

  The GB are not God’s mouthpiece on earth.

  So I guess my old hall got dissolved. The great decrease continues....

  my mil came by to drop some pressure on my wife to go to the three day this weekend.

  she told her that she wants our baby to live forever and that she wants us to come back.

  apparently people would be “so happy” to see us return to the fold.

  Should it be considered sexual harassment?

  by Addison0998 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  on thing that really makes me angry and disgusted is when i think of the way in the past that the elders pressured me over and over again to have a meeting with them over a petty make out and petting incident.

  they asked such instrusive, personal questions like, “did he touch your breast, for how long?

  under or over your clothes?” i know that this happens to thousands of people, especially young women, and it’s just not right, it makes me so angry that i almost feel tempted to confront the elder who especially did this, when i see him at the convention in a few weeks and tell him what a sick person he is and how much trauma he caused me, manipulating me and pressuring me to answer such instrusive questions while he sat there and took notes!!

  Sexual harassment—yes.

  They say it is a “sin” not a “crime”—so how much info did this guy need?

  Omg! Sure wish l could remember book, chapter, verse where they gathered how much of sinfulness to charge you with:

  ”10 seconds through the shirt... let’s see- - with buttons or without. Were you buttoned at the time, sister?

  Yeyaaah. Okay . Was that an underwire bra? Demerits for you if it wasn’t padded.

  No, Brother Snigger, the elders manual says it definitely IS worse if she is unpadded. Definitely. Not only is padding allowed,it is encouraged — theocratic war fare you know. No loss of merit for that.

  But thin sheer honesty !! And in a brassiere! No, even when felt through a well-buttoned shirt.....tsk, tsk. I don’t care if she is only a 34B!

  Sister, that will cost you one shunning and 50 cents due immediately!”
