i'm new to the forum.
i'm an ex-jw who actually faded from jws.
i'm here to drop by every once in a while to ask a question or two.
There is a theory that the garden of Eden represents the “golden age” of man before civilization....before farming, land ownership, competition for resources and the misery and (as we are now suffering) the disease that accompanied it.
So in other words man looked back at a simpler time when there was less of us and plenty to hunt and gather.....perhaps they imagined a world without conflict.
I think we are given to see the past through rose coloured specs.
csa victims need our support, not vindictiveness.
in that vein, lord farquaad has these kind words for shelly, aka “bcg”.
false dilemma logical fallacy.
- I’m referring to Evans’ previous history with Shelly (BCG), his tendency to attack her and her motives, along with other patterns of misbehavior. If you don’t believe me there’s a Reddit thread where he leveled false allegations that she wanted to torpedo Covert Fade’s book in order to write her own and that she was under the influence of “cedars-bashers”. But you still want to take his word for it, defend him at all cost and brush away all criticism. Who sounds like the JW now?
I can actually verify this and give some context. Funnily enough I mentioned this to my husband today...how weird.
Anyway I got into it with Lloyd because Covert Fade had a private conversation with Shelly over “a book”. Covert Fade then took to Twitter and reddit to besmirch her. Lloyd played no part in this but to his discredit he jumped onto reddit to insult Shelly , finally accusing her of ‘calling people out in public” at which point I made the point that it was Covert fade who was “callIng BCG out” all over social media. Since Alexandra James defended BCG he also took the opportunity to call her “regressive and hysterical”, both typical epithets men use to criticize women when they have no solid reason to, and I’m sorry this was beneath Lloyd.
It really was a case of the big boys gang muscling in on someone on reddit where they have a big, controlling presence and BCG doesn’t.
I am actually a patron of Lloyd’s and support his work, but I’m sorry I will call him out when he’s wrong and on this occasion he put his buddy before his principals.
JeffroLloyd definitely has beef with Shelly/BCGand it’s definitely aimed at her. He wouldn’t speak up toward a random dude over this.
and this isn't a cult?
just saw my wife put on her name tag for the zoom assembly.... what the what?
i thought these things werent even live.
Goingthruthemotions Ask her this:
If Jesus got married, what sort of a husband would he be?
Obviously he remained single. So what sort of a husband would he approve of? What sort of husband do you think the modern day GB make?
If she says "good husbands, loving, faithfull in sickness and health" etc, say you agree.
Then tell her about Judge Rutherford deserting his disabled JW wife and son and not seeing them for over 20 years...that they didn't even attend his funeral. (actually he even had a mistress, check out JWfacts.com)
Then ask if she thinks Jesus would choose such a man to lead his people on earth...
one thing we were always taught in the past is how we should sit down and pray (kneel) to jehoober whenever we were at an event where they played the national anthem.
we had to actively disrespect the flag and anthem and be no part of the world, because we were our own country with jesus as king.. given kneeling/sitting for the national anthem is now the favorite pastime of the far-left and if you do so, you get associated with democrats, how do jehovah's witnesses now 'become no part of this world' when they have to disrespect the flag?.
The emotes are so glitchy on this site. Why can't I just delete one????
I can't even press them properly as the "emoticon" word obscures a lot of the good ones.
does anyone happen to have a copy of the awake for march 22, 1993. .
i'm especially interested in pages 3 and 4 of an article about false teachers..
I know Petra and Atlantis have copies of everything. That's where Avoidjw got their giant database from ;)
did you notice this?

why do they show the black goat in the picture?
That’s not a goat. That’s an antelope. An Ibex or something.Good grief.🤪

Ahh apologies, I didn't realise there'd been a previous thread on the subject.
Lv101 Thank you!

Interesting video regarding a news article surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Shunned teen Sarah Callan(?) , from North Carolina, became involved with Epstein and particularly Ghislaine Maxwell as a procurer of young girls. Her parents , who have no idea where she is and have not spoken to her for years, fear she is next to be arrested.
Nevertheless they do not want to see her unless she returns "and commits" to the religion.
bottom line is this.
she came in from the weekly meeting, we sitting and talking and she said.
the society is giving us some food.
Hi all this is the organization by the way "Farms to Famillies"
not sure who wrote this list a while back but i think it is worth a repeat....to be added to or subtracted from or modified...whatever.. what's wrong with the watchtower.
"overlapping generations" - this teaching makes no sense.
the word used by jesus is in the singular, not plural form.. .
They aren't even Jehovah's Witnesses.
Jacob's biscuits maybe - they are crackers
Anna Marina I choked on my tea! So funny 😂😂😂😂😭🔥🔥
