  Thanks for sharing. It's good basic info that curious public readers need to know.

  There is always some telltale word or phrase in an article like this that tells me that it was a non-believer, or somebody who doesn't quite "get it" who wrote the article. This writer knows the religion and articulates accurately.

  I have read that some studies suggest that symptoms of gluten intolerance may, in fact, be caused by glyphosphate, the weed killer that is used way too generously to improve yields.

  Simon, don't forget the child sex-trafficking pizza parlor. As long as we 're obfuscating.

  JW Broadcast For August

  by APieceOfShitNamedTate in

  1. jw

  okay i'll admit that what i'm about to ask is a little silly.

  this is the kind of stuff that crosses over into tinfoil hat territory, but you can't help but notice it.. did anyone else see gary breaux in this month's broadcast doing that weird "hand diamond" thing over his bible?

  he was also wearing a pinky ring.

  I will say this...I tossed back a cold beer with Gary Breaux and several other brothers in the pre-convention work one time. I thought it was cool of him to relax a little with the bro's.

  My radar would have sounded if he were wearing a pinky ring. Or pink loafers.

  The beauty in being mortal

  by HiddenPimo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am only speaking from my personal point of view and not to encroach on anyone else's belief system:.

  one of the main points of attraction to the jw life was the 'panda paradise', once i woke up, i began to think about the future and it made me realize that jw's have little or no regard for life and the way they treat others even in those who are jw's.. e.g.

  no blood, shunning, theocratic warfare, no real charity work for those in need, etc.... if we live forever on earth we would get bored, we would take relationships for granted and possible want to actually die.. what makes anything valuable is the not the beauty of it but the rarity of it or the limited amount of it.. time is not only limited but all of our hourglasses are opaque leaving the amount of sand remaining a guess at best, and this is what moves us to appreciate life and ever little thing it gives us.. there is a beautiful and poignant song by jason isbell 'if we were vampires' and it perfectly describes the beauty one can find in ones mortality and how it moves us to love & care deeper than if we were immortal.. the 2nd verse goes .
