  ToHHey, after two years of almost-constant entertainment, it looks like he's run out of steam

  Aha but it's holiday time, remember! 6 weeks of school hols, to be precise. Great excuse to doom scroll on the sun lounger🤳🏻 while the ex wife runs around after the kids all day.🥵

  Mike exjwHe is a single lonely old man who has sexual frustration this is called incel which is an involuntary celibate.

  Problem with Cedars is that being a JW with the correct pedigree scored him a bride he couldn't have dreamed of had he been worldly. Now he expects (young) Dijana-style girls to fall at his feet and it ain't happening - wouldn't have back then and it certainly ain't now when you add 10 years (and 10 stone) to the equation lol.🍕🍟🍔🥞

  I Visited Auschwitz Two Days Ago

  auschwitz concentration camp in poland may not seem like a very happy vacation spot to visit.

  but, if you have a home, a family and your freedom - you will be far less likely to take these things for granted after visiting.

  we made the sobering decision to make the 2.5 hr.

  Riley His facebook feed is nothing but this endless right wing tirade , most against trans-people

  He visits Auschwitz and talks about sad it is humans could do that to each other and then goes back to his endless tirade of shitposting.

  Riley right at this moment US politicians are rushing through a bill attempting to protect title 9 - (that's women's sports). It's beyond belief they are tearing down every protection women have fought for over the last 200 years - from Elizabeth Fry, who demanded women & children have their own prisons, to women's sports & safe spaces in DV refuges etc

  My own great grandmother, who helped raise me, was not allowed to vote until she was 30. That's how short a time it's been The younger generation take these hard won protections and rights for granted & casually give them away, so far from those days are they.

  Similarly, the current students at elite US universities are demanding Jewish students don't sit in the first 2 rows in class, so far from WW2 & the holocaust are they also.

  You are right in your sentiment, though, that those who don't learn from history are destined to repeat it. I just think you're looking in the wrong direction at this particular moment in time🤔

  the major difference between jws and Nazism: JWs follow orders but always re-interpret them for their own localities, whereas the Nazis obeyed Hitler 100% and never dared deviate from their orders no matter where they were.

  UKPimo if you think people didn't use the Nazi race theories and its general tyranny to settle local scores and dispose of rivals/mete out punishment over petty jealousies etc, you don't understand human behaviour much.

  I agree Watchtower has a brass nerve comparing the suffering of its members - broadly caused by the fragile ego of their own leader - with what the Jews/gypsies went through.

  Would there, or would there not be, lawsuits if they took away the blood transfusion ban?

  by VerdadTJ2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have heard or read, many times by many exjw's, that the org does not remove the blood transfusion ban because it would be crippled by the resulting lawsuits the minute that "new light" was made official.i am not a lawyer, but i would like to know what legal opinion lawyers have on that.on what legal basis would there be a lawsuit?

  "i am suing the watchtower because my relative died because of a rule they had but no longer have"?am i missing something?.

  FAThat link you posted to the David Harris article took my breath away. Terrifying. The nurse who unclamps the tube and lets the skid road dude's blood run into the trash can - until his neighbour spots what she has done....horrific!! Some wouldn't believe it, it's so frightful. I would - I'm a nurse. whilst the old saying "never attribute to malice what one can more easily attribute to incompetence" holds true, I have indeed witnessed such cruel, judgemental, sociopathic and god complex behaviour in medical staff......and it makes my blood run cold to read about it.

  That aside, on the concept of selling ones blood, whilst American style medical care can be the best in the world, i will never believe that for most people, social medicine is the only humane system there is.

  No.

  they should....but if they could, I think it likely would have already happenend when they changed the rule on the organ transplant ban (Although admitedly affecting less people nevertheless I think we would have seen at least one lawsuit).

  JE-sus making a comeback at the 2024 Convention

  by dropoffyourkeylee in

  2. experiences

  attended the friday sesson of the 2024 summer convention.. july 5, 2024 summer convention crowd photo; they invited quite a lot of empty chairs.. .

  the facility usually has 5500-6500. they spun it saying that fewer congregations were assigned.

  there were 6 of the smaller, more distant sections blocked off with tarps to lessen cleaning, which i understand.

  unbaptized boy having priority over women

  by enoughisenough in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was thinking about the male children ( even unbaptized ) being placed ahead of the sisters.

  ; and i thought the jw were raising a bunch of misogynist.

  would these kids not feel more important than their mothers let alone other women.

  Pr0ner From what I've gathered Simon only seems to get pissed when people only use this site to advertise. Not when he knows who you are and you're already an otherwise contributing member. (Anyway Shoot him a message already! I for one am definitely interested)
