that expression is a no-no now.
it is racist and hateful.
some people just need to get the monkey off their backs..
This made me laugh! If you're a Millennial, you won't know what this is...I had a crush on the one who wore a hat. I would try to avoid Field Service to watch that show.
Now I'm going to have this song in my head...
"I was listening to a radio show yesterday and they kept playing the theme song for the TV show The Monkees.....Hey hey we’re the Monkees and people say we monkey around...then they would wonder out loud if this was ok to replay.🙉🐵🙈🐒"
what are you thoughts on this?.
i find this alarming because jones was very outspoken and had great guests on discussing topics most other media outlets wouldn't go near.. the fact that many have restricted him access to their medium what does this say on our freedoms of speech?.
Exactly what Simon said. What else will be limited and censored by these companies?
i'm interested in seeing what jw trinket on etsy is the most appalling to the exjw community.
go to www.etsy.com and just search jw.
just when i thought that i found the most disturbing item, another comes along to top it.
Some of those offerings are hysterical!
The ex-JW coffee cups had me on the floor!
i have not had a jw at my door [don't get me wrong this is great] for a few years.
is cart preaching the why its all done today?
I went to the county courthouse a few months ago and there were three JWs sitting with a magazine rack. They looked ridiculous and no one stopped to ask them for a pamphlet. I just giggled as I went by.
I've had two home visits by the same group come to my home in the last 6 months. I am sure my Mother has called and told the locals where I live and I need Spiritual Guidance. Luckily I have a Ring Doorbell and can watch them stand and squirm and talk to each other while they know I won't answer. Dummies.
My family sent me the letters they sent to Russian officials begging them not to ban the JWs. They also sent me emails telling me this was proof of the Great Tribulation. This just feeds into their belief that the end is near and the "System is Ending". Those words get used a lot in conversations...Ugh.
This will make their paranoia worse.
purists aren't above-it-all, although they certainly think they are.. .
do you know why puritans were kicked out of england?.
you'll never get a puritan to respect the foe.. .
Very well said.
I have turned off the news. I have turned off the Facebook pages of people who are only posting political rhetoric. I simply will not engage in that.
There is enough to talk about regarding life and the things around us (our families, neighborhoods, recipes, things going on in your life, etc) without trying to convince others that we're "right" about any given issue. Heck, people on Facebook are brutal if you post a recipe that they don't agree with-how are you going to convince them that a particular political or religious theory is the only way?
has anyone else seen the movie "confessions of a teenage jesus jerk"?.
im still processing it, and trying to work out my thoughts..... i would be interested in others thoughts..
I just watched it.
The writer did make it seem like the JWs are obsessed with sex. Which, in the realm of sins, they are.
The teenagers getting a copy of Crisis of Conscience was interesting. I don't know what year it came out (can't remember) but, that would have been bold for 17-year olds to read. I doubt I would have tried and I had questions way back before. I wouldn't have bothered.
The Worldly cousin was a little disconcerting.
I was thinking of all the JW stuff that happened growing up (during the same time) and it pretty much mirrored the movie between friends and family. Very weird.
As noted above, you would have to have some understanding of the JW principals to understand what was going on.
And, yes, growing up a JW sucks no matter how you cut it.
They are like dogs or coyotes going after the dead. Disgusting.
I get my Mom trying to get me back with the "You know you can read all about the new stuff we're doing on JW.org. It has beautiful videos and all kinds of interesting things."
I've literally hung up on her mid-sentence. She will call back and I'll blame the cell service. I simply cannot stomach the thought of seeing or hearing about this Borg.
a&e has a new show this season called cults and extreme belief.
the second episode will air on 5/29 at 9:00 pm and jehovah's witnesses will be featured.
hopefully they do a good job exposing them for what they really are.
I looked on their website and they name lots of cults but not the JWs. I hope they show up...The first episode is May 28 and is on the group Nxivm. That is the group that came out in the last few weeks where celebrities and others were held as sex slaves for a nutty guru.
