  2. friends

  saw this on reddit it was posted by user morgan_sparlock .

  to me honestly this would of been prohibited 10 years ago, but now every dub is obsessed with this website, it's everywhere even a damn iphone cover... ooh they don't approve of idolatry ooh no they don't accept cross veneration thats bullshit to me!!!

  its getting to a point that they are venerating this website (company logo) it's their version of the cross.

  HELLO! I'm gonna call you KNEES now because you reminded me of how absurd the whole " cover up your knees, please"thing is - I mean of all the ladybits that are pleasing to the eye KNEES are not one of 'em. I've been around this great big world a fair few times and I've yet to find a knee- fetishist!

  So hi from a fellow ORAL OBSESSIVE...like Talesin I have quit the filthy habit, thank goodness, but I still love puttin' things in me mouth, 2 things the org and I don't see eye 2 eye on......gluttony! Honestly ! Minds like sewers here! Watch em!!

  The GB of today are a different proposition to those of the early 80's...I don't believe a gold apple watch would have turned old Freddie's eye...

  According to tradition Muhammad was born without a foreskin (aposthetic).Aug 13, 2009

  How convenient for him😊

  Doing my community midwifery many of the first time Jewish mom's were horrified at how their baby boy's suffered and said they wouldn't allow it to happen to any subsequent boys.

  Toasting is Pagan - How many contradictions can fit in 2 pages, I found 5?

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the watchtower 2007 feb 15 pp.30-31 explains why jehovah's witnesses are not to toast.

  what is astounding is that for each point they then go on an explain why the point is irrelevant, yet still conclude toasting is wrong.

  what did people think when reading this?

  You can just picture it can't you - old Freddie Franze poring over his beloved Encyclopedia Brittanica and saying " HERE NATE..guess what it says about toasting ? No not Dr Alimantando, I mean as in cheers..the PAGANS began doing it as a form of libation to the GODS!!!PAGAN PRAYER, NATE!! Tell the boys to hold the front page...no more toasts to retiring Bethelites for 40 years of devoted service!! Hell....whilst were at it we may as well sack 'em too!...yes, Nate I know you love "Best Dressed Chicken in Town" but I mean the OTHER toas...oh never mind (sigh)"

  When Did Higher Education Become Taboo?

  by Wild_Thing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been reading about the early history of russelites/jws and in the beginning, it seems the organization was formed and headed by quite a few educated people.

  lawyers, doctors, businessman.

  you could buy voting rights within the organization for $1000, which by today's standard would be somewhere between $15,000 and $20,000, something most of us do not have on hand, unless you are highly educated and/or wealthy.

  or they get plenty of Higher Criticism [sic] in the high schools, and it will not be long before they have it in the common schools also."

  so it's interesting,then that it appears to be a Biblical education that Russell was opposed to (hence the reference to"higher criticism")rather than a secular education. I expect he feared youngsters who were too well versed in Biblical exegeses and thus able to challenge "Pastor"Russell and his cocamamey Biblical interpretations .

  Should I get babtized?

  by BlackWolf in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know this sounds like a ridiculous question but i was talking with my mom in the car today and of course we got on the topic of getting babtized again.

  she told me that jehovah holds me accountable for my sins regardless of wether i am babtized or not so i have no reason to be holding back because it won't change anything.

  my parents are the type of super strict jw who will shun you just for not being a witness.

  Listen, since you know ttatt what would be the point of making false " friends" that will drop you like a hot potato as soon as you stop attending - save yourself the heartache of getting close to folks who are going to hurt you. Please try as best you can to forge bounds with normal kids at school or community college or neighbours. Start preparing your social network NOW. You're gonna need em.

  As to your parents, the only way baptism would be useful is if you intend to move away andfade. However your parents don't sound like the types to stick to the letter of JW law but not the spirit, if they know you have faded they will shun u anyways so it seems utterly pointless. I think u should play the " I have doubts - help me" card. Make like you cannot dedicate till your 100 % convinced and that science lessons/ evolution has stumbled you. You will have to suffer more study with them but from what I know baptism has never helped anyone who knows ttatt in the long run. You are not your aunt, you are their SON....you never know,start preparing them now. If u don't get baptised they don't HAVE to shun you..are u their only child?
