JoJo I don't see a connection between paying for sex and child sex abuse.Apples and oranges. Sex work is legal in Parts of Nevada, its not even in the same ball park as child sex abuse.

We are not saying visiting a prostitute is the same as committing child sex abuse (although in some cases you may be doing just that). If you read the comments you will see we are concerned that:

1. there is a clear and well documented connection between child sex abuse and prostitution.

2. That connection is even stronger when you factor in the number of women trafficked, sold, groomed and otherwise abused by criminal gangs in Thailand.
3.When called to account Evan's didn't care and even doubled down on his "right" to use these 'women' in this way.

5. He Attempted to have his supporters abuse and harass those who made a principled stand over this issue.

4. Therefore we refuse to accept this man as an advocate in our name for victims of CSA, domestic violence and sexual assault.

Do you think Watchtower is owned by a man at the top

by Foolednomore in

jw
friends

do you think watchtower is own by one man at top that is so mysterious but only the governing idiots answer to?.

or could it be a family like the rothschilds or some other wealthy family.

or a secret branch( experiments) of the government?.

Judge RF I think that if you turn into any mainstream religion whether watchtower want to admit they are or not, you are owned by the government. Being a religion means you are automatically tax exempt. Yet the governments offer tax exempt form that you are not required to fill out. By filling out and returning these forms, you bind yourself to government restrictions and regulations on how to run your religion. Watchtower for years even through part of the N.H Knorr era, refused to be called a religion (see the 1943 watchtower article "eve religions first victim").

I couldn't agree more. We know the only real way to get Watchtower to tow the line is to threaten them with removal of their tax breaks/exemptions. We saw this in Australia with the redress scheme.

Ex JWs who use the catch phrase "Friends"

by jojorabbit in

its a personal pet peeve to me but i hate it when ex jws use the catch phrase friends.

this was used at every convention and many meetings i went to.

the friends, mother and others.

Early Bible Student literature is covered with the Winged-Sun (solar) Disc, which was influenced directly by CT's interest in Egyptology and Pyramidology,

It was all the rage back then.

I presumed 'friends' and even 'the meetings' came from local Pennsylvania faiths such as Quaker's.

You're not alone.

It's sooooo annoying when exjws say "friends". If you're a Christian say Brothers and sisters. I have no issue with that, it's literally part of your faith.

But "friends"? The Watchtower seemed to change to friends some time back. The GB rarely use brothers and almost never sisters. Why? Because most of you are NOT their "brothers", of course. And even if a woman is part of the 144000 there's no such thing as "sisters" to them. So maybe Rutherford was right, women do change in to men in heaven!

14 kids dead and one teacher at Texas school shooting.

by jojorabbit in

another shooting, this time 14 kids dead more wounded and a teacher dead.

i am all for the second amendment and this does not change my mind.

but i do hate this kind of thing, makes my stomach turn.

I literally cannot believe what an asshole Barak Obama is.

Yeah.... Let's all forget about grieving over a class full of innocent kids being gunned down. Barak wants us to focus our energies on someone else!!

Well that's bad enough.

But when the someone else he wants you to focus on is a violent thug who threatened to shoot another (unborn) child, that makes it all the worse.

Vintage This part is very "off topic",... but if not now, then when? Las Malvinas son Argentinas, every time I see your name, I'm transported to 1982. I was living in South America.

When I read the name Malvinas son Argentinas I'm transported to an alcoholic, homeless, ex British army sergeant with PTSD. He told me about finding the dead bodies of Argentinian kids (soldiers but he put their ages at 14 -16) in a ditch. His corporal had purposely disobeyed his instructions and thrown grenades in the ditch, killing them. He was a mess and felt wracked with guilt about the whole 'war'.

Your thinking is very flawed and two dimensional. First off countries with more gun control are not safe. But with a 68 million populace, UK has a scary number of Stabbing. Would you believe 44,000 knife attacks in 2019. While knifes attacks only account for 6% of UK crimes attacks. While bats (hitting with a blunt object) or glass bottle account for another 6% so that another 44,000 attacks

The difference is knife crime accounts for a very narrow demographic. It is overwhelmingly perpetrated by, and on, very young black males from inner London council estates. It simply doesn't effect other demographics and other areas whatsoever.

London is no more 'shit hole' than anywhere else and in fact has been very much gentrified over the last few decades.

I used to think America sounded wonderful and dreamed of traveling around particularly the great lakes and your national parks but now I wouldn't live there if you paid me. I'm not being unpleasant, it genuinely terrifies me. Remember you also have had bombing and death by motor attacks. It's true we had Dunblane a horrific attack on a school by a mentally ill boy, too, when I was a kid but what's happening in the states is beyond the pale. The thought my.kids could be unsafe at school would terrify me.

What Simon says is true you guys need to spend some of those millions sent to Ukraine on school security and I'm afraid the time has come for armed guards.
