Funny you talked about TV in your OP. JWs banning the Smurfs might be something you remember. I think it has something to do with everytime the smurfs leave smurf village something bad happens. Same thing with the Hobbits and Lord of the Rings. JWs are little people who punish anyone who leaves their little smurf village to grow a beard and go on adventures. -

As funny as they look, the Sikh religion is one of the more rational faiths out there. Except maybe for the belief that dying on the job is the most honorable way to go out and a one way ticket to Nirvana. Sure beats the protestant work ethic. Their turbans beards and 'staches are awesome, the diaper fat breeches sometimes worn underneath their pants not so much. It seems like a dharmic religion that isn't for girlie men. -

New Light! The Evil Slave Class no longer exists!
by FusionTheism inquote from the watchtower, march 15, 2015, page 23:.
in the illustration of the faithful and discreet slave, jesus spoke of an evil slave who beat his fellow slaves.
jesus was not there foretelling that an evil slave class would arise.

I thought that apostate Christendom, but especially dawn bible students, were the Evil Slave Class. -

JWs are the only ones going door to door and restoring God's name.
by TTWSYF inthe bible says so much about so many things.
is there an organization that does everything the bible says?

Ah, yes, but it is Rasta music blasting out of cars and in the bars praising JAH. No one but the Rastas is praising JAH in music wherever there is an amplifier. While the little empty suit baldheads go from house to house like Saul causing disturbances. I hope they repent like Saul did!

May’s ‘study WT’ admits having taught “far-fetched” ideas
by wheelwithinwheel innot on the front page, not in the study articles, but carefully camouflaged in the questions from readers on page 18 (watchtower march 15, 2015).
you can bet most jws wont even read it..
there is no apology...just the usual excuses..

What is amazing is how types and antitypes led to serious doctrinal changes and exclusivism. A true Christian will see Christ in Cyrus and in all Gentiles who hunger and thirst after righteousness, thus negating the need to judge the religions of others. It is sad to see it work a closing of minds. -

What do you think? Should chimpanzees be granted 'personhood'?
by fulltimestudent inthere's a current court case in ny which is hearing that question right now.
the precise issue is the continued captivity of two chimpanzees, (leo and hercules, names bestowed by humans) in a medical research laboratory at stony brook university.. i suggest that the application has some merit.
are not all of us "animals?

Their habitats certainly deserve more respect on the one hand, but on the other hand, you can't put the interest of a handful of non-humans above a million humans in a developing country. -

And It isn't inconsistent to be opposed to gay marriage within the canons and hallowed halls of your own church and supportive of it within civil society. What is inconsistent with the Jehovah's Witness religion is to have a political consciousness in the first place. And seeing as the sociological definition of a marriage is a license to have children, gay marriages will continue to be viewed as second class marriages by most adoption agencies in the world for at least the next century. The gay marriage issue is a big fuss over nothing, although I don't think anyone under 25 should be allowed to enter into a same-sex or polygamous marriage. And I don't like the idea of same-sex marriages of convenience for straight people for immigration purposes. Like it or not homophobia is natural and instinctual and most young immigrants from the developing world will view gay marriage as worthy of mockery. It would be just too convenient. -

They might be driving me nuts
by stillin inthe "boasting session" last night included forcing the congregation to watch that stupid witnessing cart video.
then the brother handling the part discusses what a "powerful witness" is being given each time those carts roll out into public view.. experiences: had a nice conversation with a young man.
a woman took a tract.

Tony Morris III has a lot of nerve talking about tight pants and metrosexuals when the Cart Song is the most metrosexual thing I have heard in my life. -

I know that she loves me, but she uses put downs to keep from being challenged. She is an arrogant enough person that she wouldn't let an outsider talk about her husband and kids like that, ONLY SHE can talk about her kids like that. So I am forcing her to talk about me behind my back to my face, which she can't bring herself to do because she is a very proud person who has a hard time apologizing to people. It isn't a game, its a control. I control how she talks to me until I trust her enough to allow her to speak to me on familiar terms. This is frequently employed by royalty, by Gurus, in the military, throughout the Japanese culture, and wherever an air of respect is in order. It may be annoying, and maybe even a little manipulative, but it is better than the alternative. I gave her a kiss goodnight and told her Mr. loves Mrs.
