how should you react when all of a sudden, a loved one has a moment of lucidity.

within the space of a couple of hours, my wife talked about politics, race relations, and gave the kids a passionate lecture about how life sucks without a college degree which is why they should study.

what can i put in her coffee to keep her this way?.

Harrass them before they harrass you

why don't dfs who really know how evil jehovah's witnesses are just harrass them as they go door knocking so that when someone intervenes to defend them they get a balanced story about what the jehovah's witnesses are all about.

the ones that were raised in it were raised to be anti-intellectual wusses, they aren't going to win a debate or kick anyone's ass.

but they certainly deserve philosophical and rhetorical smackdowns, they deserve haters standing in their way as they go harrassing everybody in the neighborhood.

i mean what if a government decided to internally deport its jehovah's witnesses and give them their own independent country.

"here, since you say we are of satan, we're giving you a few square miles so lets see how much better a job your theocracy does, and this way you can't spread your religion.

" i'm surprised russia didn't try that.

Online Higher Education

since the faithful and discreet slave class now opposes higher education because it allegedly brings with it 'bad association', i wonder what their take is on online education.

let's remember that distance education was pioneered by fundamentalist saudi arabia and apartheid south africa for the very reasons that the jehovah's witnesses criticize higher education.

my wife is one of the faithful and i fear for our kids future, that they will see no point in keeping their grades up.

Raising Children in more than one language

i recently told my wife that i am speaking only in the jamaican dialect from now on in my house because she has failed to teach her children her native language because she has put religion first, manners and discipline second, their education third, and her native language somewhere at the bottom.

while i am not jamaican, nor have i been to jamaica i lived in a jamaican rastafarian community as a rastafarian.

i am now orthodox christian as are many rastafarians and i still consider myself culturally rastafarian but no longer identify with their heresies.

"You should grow a beard if you're a man of God (slam)!!!"

if jehovah's witnesses are taught the "truth" that people are afraid of men with beards, wouldn't sending them the vibe that clean shaven men are creepy, as indeed they are in some localities on some faces be the best favor you could do them.

imagine if every trinitarian christian told them the same thing instead of engaging in a conversation with them.

in the part of california where i live them telling me that beards are threatening to some people is like those hipsters who attend the "no pants subway ride" on the subway in the middle of winter and then say that it just felt too warm today to be wearing pants.

i'm this orthodox christian dating a disfellowshipped jw chick.

my priest says there's hope because she's been disfellowshipped and to give it 6 months.

one minute says she wants to become a citizen, the next minute i tell her that if she does that as an american i would expect her to salute the flag and especially vote if she naturalizes, and then she talks about going back to her own country!!.
