  It's amazing how reliable Carbon Dating is for religious groups when it supports their point of view.

  So true, especially the WT.

  why do you appoligize all the time?
  All is fare in these discussions. As long as you respect that other people have the right to have different views.

  She's Leaving Home..Bye Bye..

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  your 20 year old son / daughter announces that he / she is involved in an intense relationship with someone that is causing you to have some misgivings.. said offspring also announces that wedding bells will be ringing inside a year or two.

  firstly though, our two lovebirds have plans to set up home together and live in delightful sin whilst they save up for the big day.

  convene a judicial committee?.

  Englishmen,

  Buy them a presentation pack of coloured condoms exclaiming “Do what you want but don’t get pregnant”?

  Does your son listen to your advice?

  This is very important because 18-20 year old usually romanticize how life will be with their love. A child will bond them for better or worse for life.They may still be in the personal fable stage.

  It must be difficult to observe adult children make their own choices good or bad.

  English you need to be careful you don't make an enemy of a possible mother of your grandchildren.

  Amazing,
  

  There are only two Laws ...

  JW: Submit to the Conscience of the Governing Body

  Ex-JW: Submit to your own individual conscience

  True but how are these signals with in a social group. Can you think of more specific signals of conduct for apostates and Jws.

  What a manipulative talk!! People just like my grandmother will fall hook line and sinker for and further empty her coffers to this beastly organization.

  This is who their aiming this talk at, grandma. Maybe she'll will her property or life insurance or anything she has to WTS. I know someone who used to work in the estate planning dept. He owns many rental properties himself and told me that many witnesses are extremely wealthy. They live modestly and hide it from the cong. He's not selling his property for the WTS.

  As TR said if they only counted time actually spent talking about the Bible...

  Especially the pioneers riding around, back and forth from one end of town to the other end, all day wasting time. I've probably spent more time discussing the Bible with people in one year than they have in their whole lives. When I report only a few hours a year.

  Until recently, I was always honest about my time but I know they’ll turn on me if I offically become inactive. I’m just to confused. If I do go out in service I won’t use literature only the Bible. I still believe the Bible. I won’t mention the WT. I wonder how long it will tale for them to pick up on this?

  Hard to believe I was once an atheist.

  Yes there are signals other than words that you are a JW or and Apostate such as

  JW

  shaving beard(a sure sign he's getting the program)
  buying a 4 door car

  Apostates

  Tattoos
  body piercings
  christmas tree

  you all finish the lists. I love semiotics.

  Brooklyn Heights is not an aggressively gay neighborhood. It's mixed gays live everywhere. I know many Jewish families that live there. Who are not gay.

  Now, downtown at Christopher Street that's an aggressively gay neighborhood. Oh unless your talking about the promenade park which is open season. Any park is open season for gay men in NY.
