Question for the gentlemen.....

by Surreptitious in

what brand of laundry detergent do you like to use?

Faraon

Actually, doing the wash is a chore for me, since I take care of my 2 daughters at home: 9 and 12 year olds.

I divide the laundry in seven different baskets:

1) White clothes: Set it on one rinse only. Hot wash, cold rinse. Heavy duty speed (fast). I add Quick Dissolving Tide to the hot water as soon as it starts flowing. When the washer starts agitating, I add Clorox and then the clothes. When it stops, I put it in the liquid softener previously diluted for the second rinse. Transfer clothes to dryer. Clean filter and set it on Cotton.

2) Socks and bottom underwear (all colors except white). Almost same as above, except I place washer in normal speed. (I still use Clorox due to the fact that I want to kill the germs).

3) Jeans and black clothes: Same as # 1 but I use warm wash and Oxi Clean instead of Clorox.

4) Red clothes: Set it on one rinse only. automatic warm wash, warm rinse. Permanent Press setting. normal speed. I add Quick Dissolving Tide to the hot water as soon as it starts flowing. When the washer starts agitating, I add Oxy clean and then the clothes. When it stops, I put it in the liquid softener previously diluted for the second rinse. Transfer clothes to dryer. Clean filter and set it on Cotton

5) Beige & yellow clothes: Same as #4

6) Light blue & green clothes: Same as #4

7) Delicates: Set on cold wash and cold rinse. Permanent press setting. Extra delicate speed setting. I add Woolite to the automatic cold water as soon as it starts flowing (automatic does not allow it to go too cold in these regions in cold weather). Set dryer in "knits" temperature. Add anti-static cloth.

IN CASE OF A FEMALE GUEST:

Colored clothes: Add four cups of Clorox before water starts to flow. That is it. It will kill all the germs, and she will thank you for the tie-dye look of the seventies. No need for fancy detergents. You can also add her favorite mink coat and designer dresses. It will save her a bundle and will beg for you to do her laundry again!

White clothes: a pint of Liquid Plumber in her wash will wash all soap scum accumulated through the years and at the same time will clear your washing machine of any organic material left there through the years.

If it doesn't work, her motherly instinct will surface and volunteer to do the laundry for you.

Does anyone have a WT/AWAKE cover pertaining to the Occult?

by DebraDoll in

please help!

i have a huge power-point presentation due by friday, and need some depiction from the wtbts concerning the "dangers" of the occult or spiritism.

it deals with the tremendous variations of our world and how "evil" is defined and relative to each individual (ex; the i-ching is vital to confucianism, but feared by jw's, the crusades sought to "save" everyone by forcing conversion to catholicism, but tortured and blinded non believers with agonizing hot iron rods, etc.....)

Faraon

DebraDoll,

Yes, but then I joined the Watchtower cult and ceased to have a life!

Have you commited the unforgivable sin?

by petespal2002 in

the ultimate taboo of being a jw is the unforgivable sin, a direct action of going against the leadings of the holy spirit.

did this used to bother you, and do you think you are seen by jw's as having committed it?

for instance, is apostasy the only occurance of it, or in you opinion would it include adultery etc.

Faraon

Coop Man,

Interesting question, and one that used to, and still does scare the hell outta me. When I was younger and actively involved in the religion, I used to pray and pray for Gods' holy spirit to help me not masturbate (embarrasing, I know). Yet I would give in to temptation and do it again and again. So was I sinning against the holy spirit by this simple act?

Maybe the Holey Spook didn't want you to die from prostate cancer so she gave you the remedy.

I don't get it.

What is the difference between the Taliban and the Borg?

They both

Are ready to kill themselves for their god.

Think women should be under a man's guide forever.

Don't tolerate other religions.

Have educational levels at the bottom of the scale.

Have wives who don't bring home the bacon

On the plus side,

The Taliban's divorce laws are very liberal.

Maybe having four women would be good, but then again, there is 'nuff nagging from one.

You only have to buy wives a sack cloth, not a whole new wardrobe every assembly and in the memoria.

Jesus is the Lord

by hooberus in

note: "lord" all capitals =yhwh hebrew

the lord of hosts

"in the year that king uzziah died i saw also the lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.

Faraon

hooberus - so what you are saying is Jesus is Lord and hence God -- why is a he a blood thirsty SOB that kills for pleasure in the Old Testament (185,000 in one night assyrians etc) (loads of women and babies when entering Canaan --though not virgin women of course) and then becomes meek and mild in the New Testament -- are you sure they are the same ?

LOLROTF, PEEING ON MY PANTS

And you ask why some religions read only from the OT?

JW women have 4400 % higher chance of dying of obstetric Hemorrage. Study

by Faraon in

http://www.ffrf.org/fttoday/dec01/other.html

multiplying sorrow.

women who are jehovah's witnesses have a 44-fold greater risk of maternal death due to obstetric hemorrhage than do other women.

Faraon

Patio,

Faulty rationale: This statistic could be connected back to Genesis that says a woman's pangs of childbirth would be increased. Childbirth became more dangerous at the same time. And therefore, the death rate from bleeding could be part of the punishment on Eve and womankind. It's a stretch and it doesn't seem the WT would officially make it. However, I can see other fundamentalists doing it. Actually, i could see individual JWs rationalizing it that way.

Actually, I think that this is statistic has a low sample, but if two out of twenty women died during childbirth due to hemorrhaging, it translates to a ten percent chance of death if there is a hemorrhage present. This is unacceptable when compared to the general population. It shows the blood on their hands, and that JWs have no conscience, since the GB acts as their only way of judging life-and-death situations.

For a long time I have seen that text as suspect because it implies that the mythological Eve had a previous child. You cannot increase the pain, unless that pain had previously been present. If Eve never had childbirth pains before the original punishment, the mythological Jewish god of war should?ve simply said that it would give Eve pains.

Elsewere,

Who are we to question a ~~book publishing company's~~ Jehover's arrangement?

True but funny.

Eve was no longer a witness when she bore children....

If you mean a Jehovah?s Witness, they were not invented until demented Rutheford, a rumored alcoholic, who was so jealous of Russell that he had pictures of Jesus without a beard.

500 in 100,000 = 1 in 200 JW "Sisters" die when they go into labour.
I must have known a lot more than 200 successful pregnancies in my time in the org. and thankfully none of them died or had ,as far as I know, serious complications

Yes, the sample is small, but it could be higher, or lower. It could be higher in places where medical science is not at par with first world countries. It could be lowered by some JWs hiding their religion when giving birth. The problem is that JWs hide what they know when it is not convenient to them, as it is the case in suicides or Child molestation.

Researchers found that 6% of 332 JWs studied experienced obstetrical hemorrhage.

This means that 20 out of 332 studied women experienced maternal hemorrhaging (332*0.06=19.92)

Two out of the twenty died. It means that ten percent of those hemorrhaging died.

I get 602.41 deaths per 100,000. (2/332=0.00602409), Which would bring the sample even higher, but there may also have been some stillborns in the birthing process.
