dear sisters,.

when you are fortunate enough to be in the presence of a jw penis you must take care to show the proper respect for it!

doesn't matter if said penis is prepubescent!

EWhen you are fortunate enough to be in the presence of a jw penis

The two elders threaten my sister again

by opusdei1972 in

as i reported here in this forum, some time ago, my sister was constantly harried by two elders so as to be submitted to a judiciary committee for apostasy.

these two elders were constantly hounding her in the street when she walks to go to her job.

so she had to send them a notary letter in which she wrote that she would attend the judiciary committee only with her attorney.

This gives the lie to Geoffrey Jacksons' assertion during the ARC that Jehovah's Witnesses are free to leave the religion without harassment whenever they wish - that elders are not " policemen" to chase them down!!

Are You Raising An Introvert?

by darth frosty in

jw

its not easy being an introvert in an extrovert worldespecially when youre a kid.

it is even more difficult if none of the adults in the kids life recognize that the child is an introvert.

this doesnt happen only when the childs parents are extroverts, but also with introverted parents who have never understood their own introverted nature.. .

ts apparently rare for females to be diagnosed with aspergers because women deal with it differently

and its a difficult thing to diagnose in itself.

there are certain criteria you have to meet to be an aspie,

but its a much wider spread thing than is recognised as it so often goes unnoticed.

it also comes with heightened senses in this and that, but not always.

like a more settled kind of savant.

but still with unnoticed but massive disabilities socially.

such as alsmost self damaging honesty

irrespective of others feelings.

I think they get termed borderline personality disorder, its horrible, I've witnessed what I now believe were girls with aspergers get turned on by others...horrible to watch. And the poor girls don't pick up the social cues...which looks like they are being intentionally antagonistic, which continues the cycle...utterly misunderstood. How they suffer.

Edit: but you are right not a disability of and in itself...in fact I believe essential for human evolution ...higher brain power thinking outside the box or the " herd instinct"

The real reason Chelmsford hasn't been stopped

by Saltheart Foamfollower in

i haven't seen this mentioned yet.

last year in the uk, shortly after the money grab that everyone had, we had a video and letter (both probably still available from atlantis) appealing for money for the new bethel and slips were handed out etc.

this means that most uk congregations are sending a regular donation specifically for the chelmsford build.

Namelessan hour ago

I like this comment on their site, "I suspect this will make resell much easier and maybe get a higher price out of the sell".

From all the comments, they all seem to be fully aware of the WT's new function as build and resell- at-profit property developers. They are under no illusions but they don't care!!

The comment about it being the right shape to " float in a flood" made me laugh though!!!!

by Gorbatchov in

jw
friends

watchtower released at tv.jw.org a new gb video with samuel f. herd, with the theme:.

why reduce the number of special full-time servants?.

it seems there is a reason to release this special message.. http://tv.jw.org/#en/video/vodstudio/pub-jwbrd_201511_4_video.

Diogenesister

Martin If you can't look me in the eye and say it, then it's probably a big fat lie.

The guys delivery was an embarrassment, an insult to his audience!!!

He's 81 yes old and KNOWS the BS his generation were given AND WHAT THEY GAVE UP TO SERVE. Disgusting.

"But WHY would you want to know those things??"

by stuckinarut2 in

i ran into an older sister who has always been very sweet.. it was a friendly chat...yet she pushed for a reason why my family have been missing from meetings for some time.

the question was deflected, until it just had to be said: "well, there have been some troubling and disturbing issues about the society especially the way things were handled during the royal commission, as well as many other issues".. she quickly cut in and said "but why would you want to know these things?

its best not to research and look at those sort of things - so we don't get upset!".

Diogenesister

So awkward when you meet kindly older ones who, at this point in their life, it wouldn't be that productive for them to leave ...exception to that being of course informing them about the ARC , as you did, cos the kids safety trumps even their needs as lonely old folk.

We have to keep telling them though, cos when the crap hits the fan, and it WILL, they will all turn around and say " BUT WHY DID NOBODY TELL US ABOUT ALL THIS!!"

Giant Leak of Offshore Financial Records Exposes Global Array of Crime and Corruption

by JHK in

millions of documents show heads of state, criminals and celebrities using secret hideaways in tax havens... [...].

what about watchtower society's holy money?.

Surely the issue is more what they invest it IN rarther than needing to stash it offshore ( as Jeff mentioned they are Tax exempt). Even the most brainwashed dub cannot consider it OK for them to invest in arms, tobacco etc.??

Politically Correct Wasteland

by freemindfade in

this was a comment i made from another post, but i would like to hear some people discuss this.

i know the social justice warriors will scream i'm some sort of trump supporter for what i say even though i don't agree with his ideas and no i am not voting for him... i accept this is a go to for them.. i think we have fallen into a pc vacuum.. criticizing someones religion = racism!.

telling someone to not be so sensitive = misogyny!.

Diogenesister

What does what I said have to do with trump lol!? Trump is the king of misogyny, no

You mentioned trump in about the second sentence...if your post was specifically about this board say so...you made it sound like a general observation on modern life....

Not an observation about a nasty and prolonged series of attacks on one person, on one thread on this board.

More Ant-Evolution BS in this months JW Broadcast Program

by ttdtt in

so at around the 46 min mark - the are talking to this guy from ukraine who was a zoologist.. he talks about how he was a staunch evolutionist (who wasn't able to prove evolution to himself, by the way).

then when he studied nature through the lens of evolution - he found that nature contradicted evolution.. his big point came when he said - "imagine emptying a box of letter blocks on a table, and the encyclopedia britannica appears, or could a computer program come by chance.

so who could dna come by chance.".

Diogenesister

I suspect he was a zoo-keeper rather than a zoologist.

Even a zoo keeper wouldn't be that ignorant...they are damned liars..just making stuff up....Dr Andersen again?
