  don't they realize its not mandatory?"LOL!!!!!😂

  One of the things I could never get my head around was the whole biblical/JW gay hate thing. Even as a kid, just didn't get it, I used to reason 'why would god make people/animals gay then condemn them for it?'(I had seen my dogs get very gay btw). My best friends saintly mum would explain that you had to date with marriage in mind because otherwise people got hurt, and not hurting people was the first law of being a xtian so the JW procriation/dating/sex rules weren't some stuffy 'moral victorian thing' it was just about respecting others feelings before your lust. That's why it was ok to fancy who you fancied, just not act on it.

  I wonder what excuse she would have used now it's ok for gays to marry?! I guess as long as they date with marriage in mind....

  She also used to say "you are always going to fancy people!", I wonder what she would have made of the 'confess your sinful thoughts to an elder' thought police rules of today?!(she passed away btw).

  It's crazy that Turkey is fighting the Kurds. Turkey has to face reality, the Kurds need their own homeland, any fool can see that. They have been victims of persecution for decades and more. Once they have their Kurdistan home they will be an allay of the west & a further bulwark against isis.

  We can also aid this new nation to build a stable homeland for some of the present refugees.

  Smiddy Then along comes the Apostle Paul who never met J.C., and has an obvious disdain for women who need to be put them in their place .

  Right on Smiddy my brother. Plus it has been said by Bible scholars that some of Pauls' most vitriolic anti female rants weren't even writen by him and are 3/4th century Roman additions.

  Debating evolution, intelligent design and cosmology with a JW

  ive been having an email exchange with a jw family member and the discussion seem to have become a bit heated and im not quite sure why.

  i dont think ive said anything obviously offensive and ive been very careful with my wording.

  but i think im sometimes a bit tone deaf with these things.

  Best ever description of a discussion with a JW about scientific theories or life in general really! Thanks Thesrumbler83 😊😊😁Talking to him about religion and science is a bit like playing chess with a pigeon, he knocks the pieces over, shits all over the board and struts around like he won.

  Any chance of emailing me your second post as I cannot read it and it looks fantastic, I wish someone would do a post on how to formatt, I rubbish at it too

  8m + are undeniably being systematically instructed via talks & publications on how to speak out of both sides of their mouths!

  i'm going to designate this practice as "the ipcress schizophrenia.

  " (induction of psycho-neuroses by conditioned reflex under stress".

  this may sound insane but i literally have blood on my hands as i have just come home from a counselling session that went wrong...i wanted to collate all that has happened and record it...hospital policy is against it.

  i said "what am i alive for then if not to tell the truth" she tut tutted and i walked out sadly in despair.. when i got to the ground floor there was a young girl screaming her head off.

  she was afraid, that is all she was...........afraid.

  ISIS Destruction of Ancient Palmyra Temple

  anyone who has read what happened here, both to the ancient site and also the grizzly murder of antiquity scholar khalid asaad, consider this.

  what religious/theocracy on earth now most resembles the stories of "god's chosen people" of the old testament?

  probably isis does.

  I was FURIOUS when I read about Palmyra and the antiquarian al-Assad. They say isis have not done as much damage as initially thought but you are quite right TRUE religous fundies like the WTBTS would willingly destroy all ancient monuments as being symptomatic of Satans' system and worthy of destruction. Excellent OP Freemindfade.

  as some of you might have read last week, my mother had extremely low hemoglobin and without it, she would have died.

  i have somehow managed to bring her to reason and accept the transfusion.

  it saved her life.

  I urge you to write to the hospital authority, your MP (or congressman in the US)and your local paper. The more people that know about this sick behaviour the more pressure is brought to bare on the org.

  That is the reason that things like the Royal Commission in OZ happened & the investigation by the charity commission in the UK, the word is out the wtbts is a CULT

  The origin of the name and masthead illustration of The Watchtower

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  thanks to the great "watchtower history" blog with historical information about the pre- and early bible students years, i became today aware of the origine of the name the watchtower and the masthead illustration in front of the old magazines.. in c.t.

  russell's younger days, his mother and other relatives died and were buried on the family plot at the allegheny cemetery.. it must have been a defining moment voor the young ctr.

  look at his inspiration to choose the name and masthead of his magazine.
