  Thanks Kevin McFree.

  Who would have thought that Lego animation could be both true and poignant?

  Questions from readers: Pillow talk

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i can't believe they came out with this.... question from readers: should a youth who struggles with masturbation sleep with a pillow?.

  you young people know that it is wise to make such restrictions, especially during "the bloom of youth.

  " (1 corinthians 7:36).

  this week's clam meeting has a video from jwborg entitled refreshing those “toiling and loaded down” about the organisation's response to two terrorist's attacks in new york (twin towers) and paris (bataclan 2015).. to me it is more about a back slapping "look what we do for you" than a "left hand not letting the right know" (matt 6 v 3) action of love and care.. ... ... ... ... ... .... if you've read this far - by contrast please google "didi bataclan paris" to read about a true unsung hero.

  not forgetting the true heroes of 9/11 .... ... ... ... ... ... .

  am i too cynical?.

  Like I said Dreary, you're a good person.

  But Steve 2 is a good and thoughtful member here as well and he makes a reasonable point.

  do you think the gb are watching the live report??

  will they learn from all this?

  are they scared shitless as the reality of social media delivers one bitch-slap of truth after another?

  The GB proclaim they are subject to "Caesar's" laws where no law of god is "broken".

  You mention "non sh1thole countries" with ages of consent as low as 13 or 14 (I paraphrase). These (non sh1thole) countries apply the law in a non-blanket way.

  For example - if a 15 year old and a 14 year old seem to freely consent to each others sexual activity (without coercion) it might result in being dealt with in such away that neither get a criminal record.

  If an adult has a consensual relationship with a 13 year old it will rightly be treated differently.

  The stink that rises from the GB and their organisation is not due to two teenagers fumbling in the dark.

  It is from their being culpable of having records of adults abusing children and young teens and then withholding that information (from other congregants, legal agencies etc.) and even allowing perpetrators to later become or stay as elders, pioneers and min servants.

  A question for my American friends - these long sentences that go well beyond a human life span. Is there any way an inmate can sometimes work them down like in the UK?

  Over here it is normal that a good behaviour inmate who says all the right things at his reviews can have his sentence halved. The notorious JW Michael Porter - Pedo got 18 months but was out after 9. Obviously in some cases like murder this isn't always the case.

  Changing verses in the new RNWT to suit an agenda

  by freddo in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it's increasingly obvious to me that part of the reason for the "new" rnwt of 2013 is to increase the authority of the organisation and the gb.

  yes, the old one was becoming dated but they have taken opportunities (liberties?

  ) with translation to increase their control.. an obvious one is micah 6 v 8 where "to cherish loyalty" has replaced "and to love kindness".

  Over on JWTalk someone called "Doug" wrote ...

  "A funny thing happened while typing this . . . My autocorrect changed Bro. Cook to Bro. Cool. How cool is that !?!"

  
  

  Well I suppose it could have changed "Cook" to "Cock" or "Gook" or "Coon" but that might not be viewed as "Cool", hmmmmm?
