  Netflix Live Boxing Event

  when i was in the org it seemed most brothers were very much into football and other sports.

  which looking back makes no sense and makes me wonder why?

  it felt like an overcompensating to be masculine.. shouldn't football be deemed unchristian?

  Ha ha, not quite. I always used to think the real reason was because football "soccer" was a nice male occupation and they were therefore unlikely to run across too many young unnattached females, therefore the bosses in Crooklyn weren't too pressed about JW men being a little OTT obsessed with it. I'm quite sure if they could they would have banned it but whilst JW men were thinking about fooball they weren't thinking about sex.

  prove me wrong :)) :))

  i am not aware of how many of you are familiar with the danish case of a jehovah's witness who was hospitalized after a tragic accident where he fell several floors from a scaffolding where he was working.. the patient was admitted to the intensive care unit and was conscious (albeit somewhat confused) for the first three weeks.

  Thank heaven common sense prevailed. One has to think of the alternative. Imagine the advance directive was in fact out of date, or the widow would have dispensed with it due to Witchtower's changing position on blood products....but the doctors allowed the patient to die.

  What is the most egregious of the two siutations? No question its the second.

  i am non political and have never voted but nonetheless i have been keenly watching to see how the trump presidential race unfolds.

  i believe that his involvement in propelling or influencing a leaning toward bible prophecy will unfold.

  how, i can’t say but something tells me that this anomaly and outlier being trump is highly signifiant!

  MMM My guess is that a lot of people close to Kamala got rich one way or another... you know, Hunter-style. They "render services" for the campaign, and invoice millions.

  Heck yes. Can you imagine? These utterly unprincipled bastards suddenly getting this giant - essentially blank - cheque???

  It's like the political theocratic warfare, all bets are off "we're literally dealing with Hitler here folks!! Of course I can get my personal "inner city charity" a half a million dollar 'donation' to get my endorsement for Kamala and heck I'll even throw in an interview with her. We can get another few hundred thousand to decorate the old place....I've got some buddies that will do the job for $100,000. Do a good deed & pay some school leavers minimum wage for a 12 hour "training" day out of it

  ....and so on and so forth.🤦🏻‍♀️

  liam Here is Jill Biden wearing the Republican Color on election day. Democrats were furious that Jill wore the Republican color on election.

  There's a video of Kamala arriving for a Veterans day service and greeting everyone with Jill Biden completely ignoring her. The two ladies then sitting together in stoney silence - not even making eye contact - despite being only one seat over from one another.

  This whole billion dollar war chest now 20 million in debt.

  I think they knew from the get-go it was a loosing effort. Their expensive pollsters, pundits etc told them the whole Biden cover up/coup plus crazy inflation sunk them before they started.Grifters filled their pockets with campaign funds & Kamala was their patsy.

  What say you?

  TOH He was more worried with building a presence and gaining attention and becoming a celebrity within the small world of exJW content, and hoping to branch out to researching religion and promoting atheism. All of that can be done, but the content always has to be the first priority, and it's clear that this wasn't the case.

  LMsA He’d be absolutely slaughtered online should he ever attempt to start a political channel or podcast - which has been one of his longstanding goals to pivot out of JW content.

  The problem with Lloyd is that he's completely uneducated - which would be fine if he was self aware enough both to understand his disadvantage & to get himself at least a basic grounding in political science/political theory, constitutionalism, democracy etc plus some wider philosophy/logic/ethics etc.

  He needs to learn to construct decent arguments, rather than virtue signaling the latest buffoonery he's been brainwashed into parroting.

  What are the questionable Grauniad articles? Have you got a link?

  Oh Slim some of its gender woo articles are completely false reporting.

  Oh boy to think I used buy the Grauniad daily, then contribute online.

  What Is The Purpose Of YORWW Having A Creed & The Forty (40) Basic, Fundamental Truth Requirement?

  by Littleleslie in

  2. bible

  what is the purpose of yorww having a creed & the forty (40) basic, fundamental truth requirement?.

  many people have wondered about the above question and our stand on the forty (40) basic, fundamental truths, and why we make it a requirement for individual jehovah's witnesses to believe these ideas before...before they can join our five (5) discussion boards.well, its called the yorww congregation, isn't it?its a congregation of like believers and persons of like faith.

  (matthew 18:20) so they are supposed to agree on their beliefs, exactly as first century christians agreed upon their beliefs.

  How did Biden's son give his life for this country?

  I've seen vids of Biden when he was young-ish....he was a skinny, awkward-looking, prematurely balding dude.Really does not look like he could 'smack (anyone) in the ass' but his nanny, 'back in Scranton'

  Why do most Ex jW W‘s seem to be liberal?

  by JaredScott-1977 in

  1. social
  2. current

  i’m just curious about this dynamic i don’t care personally one way or the other but i do have friends who have chosen to be conservatives and they get totally destroyed on social media pages for their choice.

  it’s almost like a lot of ex jw w become as toxic and his judgmental as jehovah’s witnesses themselves what’s up with that?

  i also know conservative ex jw’s that can do the same so again i’m not leaning one way or the other i’m just noticing factual observations.

  Because quite a large number of the ex JWs (or more accurately raised JWs but not JW as adults) you're.most likely to come across online are usually pretty young. Many are still very influenced by the education system /celebrity culture/liberal media etc. and haven't matured enough to think for themselves or develop their own personal worldview yet.
