It can only be one of two possibilities:
"The people of Sodom WILL be resurrected... and that's final."
OR...
"And now for our accounts report. Funds on hand in the Worldwide Pedophile Defense Fund at the beginning of the year were $28,945,873.92. Payoffs made to victims in 2008 totaled $35,893,716.93, leaving us a deficit of $6,947,843.01. Your generosity in covering these expenses is greatly appreciated; truly God loves a cheerful giver."
howdy ho all you fine folks in jwd land!
i thought you all might enjoy this little incident that occurred about six years ago when i was sixteen and newly baptized:
it all happened one night after a theocratic misery school and disservice meeting, during which, i carried one of the microphones.
Better you realize early rather than later.
I know someone who recently came out... it seems to be adversely affecting his marriage.
i know i don't post here that often but this just kind of blew me away.
my dad just "came out" recently as annointed and i find it so weird.
he's always been pretty level headed and he's been in for over 30 years.
Pwned... in I believe the May 1 2007 Watchtower QFR article it opened the door for new anointeds to present themselves.
There has been much speculation over whether this year would see many new anointeds as a result.
Can't wait to see the numbers....
i, as most persons, think a sexual assault of a child is a very horrible thing.
like most parents, i would want to put the person to death that assaulted my child in that way, but is that just?
i'm two ways about it: i feel for the child, and the child's family; but at the same time i am wondering if it is deserving of death?
Hell, why stop at murder or sex crimes... why not extend the death penalty to yet more crimes? Crooked politicians? Fry 'em. Burglars are a drain on society... end 'em. Shoplifters are totally useless scumwads... waste 'em. And lets not forget anyone who picks up a DUI or smokes weed.
Overpopulation problem = solved. Crime = eliminated. Sense of vengeance = satisfied. Prisons = empty.
in the hall i used to attend i found alot of people had 'demon' stories, did you know anyone like this or have any run-ins yourself?
i personally think they were zealot delusions.
nevermind i just did a search a found a whole bunch of stories.
Ha, if I thought there were any possibility of getting in contact with an actual demon, I'd be all over that in a heartbeat.
No experiences here. Probably they're scared of the WT literature in the house.
how many instances have you seen where a younger girl, say 13-16 is df'd or da'd for "fornication w/ much older "brother" in the hall?
especially when the bro.
only gets reproof?
I don't quite get how people say it is "disgusting" or "rape" if a 20-something has sex with a teenager, yet the prevailing attitude seems to be that sex between teens is normal and consensual.
When I was a teenager I certainly was capable of either consenting or not. I dunno, maybe my lack of experience in this area means I'm missing some vital piece of information that makes everything just come together. But if a couple of 16-year-olds have sex nobody seems to care. What's with that?
Heck, I know for a fact there were a number of couples in my high school having sex. I don't think any of them got arrested for rape.

Those who have read my other posts will know I am not a liberal.
I am strongly against the death penalty.
When deciding the matter of 'what to do with this criminal,' society's primary consideration should be what is best for society, not what is best for the criminal, or what the criminal "deserves."
Life rarely gives us what we deserve. A starving child in Africa may complain, rightly, that he/she does not deserve to die at the age of four. But guess what... that's the universe we live in: cold, unfeeling, unreasoning.
Life is not fair. The goal of civilized society is not to try to make life fair, or even 'as fair as possible.' As a society our goal should be to create an environment conducive to the success and growth of our citizens. So when someone becomes a "criminal" and disrupts our efforts to create or maintain such an environment, the decision on how to handle the matter should not be based on emotion or on some ideal of "justice" which is unobtainable anyway (as soon as the crime was committed, justice has been irreversibly breached; as the tired but true argument goes, killing the murderer won't bring the victim back).
Throughout history many cultures have realized this. If a member of a nomadic tribe was a danger to the success of the group, the worst penalty that could be inflicted was exile. In many cases this no doubt meant death for the solitary individual on his own. But society did not have to expend its own resources in carrying out a punishment, and it rid itself of the threat to its success.
In our current society, the last time I checked the figures, it did indeed cost us more to execute a criminal than to imprison him for life. When it comes to dealing with scumwads, I don't want the drain on society to be a penny over what's necessary.
Add to this the fact that having a death penalty policy will inevitably lead to a certain number of innocents being put to death. Exactly how many innocents is it acceptable to sacrifice in our pursuit of vengeance?
Extending the death penalty to crimes other than murder would be yet another step in the wrong direction.
i am absolutely thrilled to find this site!
i just took the red pill of reality and all i can saw is wow!
i had no idea the borg was so hypocritical and twisted.
Ah, good to see an Oscar Wilde reference... we don't get enough of that nowadays.
Your foppishness may make me look manly by comparison. OK... that's still unlikely. But welcome anyway.
henry ford was an american industrialist and pioneer of the assembly-line production method.
he was the founder of the ford motor co. one of many achievements of henry ford was the introduction of the model t car!
below are words of wisdom in the form of inspirational quotes and motivational quotes by henry ford:.
We have to view historical figures in context... specifically, the context of their times.
Too, I would hope we would have a more complex view of every such figure than simply "good" or "bad."
One does not make history by simply being good or bad. If we are appreciating a historical figure it is usually for something other than their morality. Some wonderful pieces of art were created by hypocrites, liars, criminals. Nations were led through difficult times by men who were untrue to their own marriage vows.
We can appreciate Ford's undeniable contributions to humanity while loathing certain of his personal views or actions. He may not have been Gandhi... but who is?
i remember going out in circus because it was what we did.
the idea of having to conduct a study or being responsible for a return visit and, therefore, eternal state of existence, caused knots in the stomach and massive dread.
actually having to commit to field circus long term with no hope of escape to save someone's life was a real downer.
I hated the door-to-door phase, so for my last couple years of activeness I pretty much just offered Bible studies. Sometimes I didn't even use the magazines, I'd just have the Bible in my hand and say that we were offering free home Bible studies. I wanted to get Bible studies because that was guaranteed easy time every month and I could slack off on the door to door.
Never got any Bible studies, but I quit going door to door anyway. ;-)
