Bible on cassette
by road to nowhere inone thing that i questioned years ago was the release of bible reading so you could listen.
then when we finally got a tape it was in a thick german accent.
so much for getting the meaning of it..

I thought it funny that Moses had a Yiddish accent, anachronistic as all heck, but hilariously entertaining!

Russia who backs Erdogan
No, they don't. I'm afraid you're mistaken, Cofty.
Russia backs Assad, (Bashar Hafez al-Assad). He is the 19th and current President of Syria and a ruthless dictator that murders his own people.
Erdogan (Recep Tayyip Erdoğan) is the current President of Turkey, and has been since 2014, despite an attempted coup not long ago. He's actually supposed to be an ally of the U.S. against Daesh but he also hates the Kurdish fighters who are part of the Syrian Coalition fighting against Daesh and the Syrian Regime of Assad.

What is behind your choice of forum user name?
by stuckinarut2 injust curious how we all think.. what prompted or influenced your choice of username for this forum?.
there are some really amazing names, and it would be great to hear the stories behind them.... mine was nothing fancy.

Would it be too much to ask for links?
Stuckinarut2 asked previously and got no answer.
It would be helpful to see "primary sources", que no?

Cooperation and Conformity
by Saethydd ina common thing that jws point to as proof of god's blessing is the supposed cooperation between people of many different backgrounds.
however, i think there should be a distinction drawn between collaborations that are performed through true tolerance and open-mindedness towards another's point of view, and collaborations that are the result of a high level of conformity by its participants.. the former sort can be seen, for example, in the un, which while not perfect, i believe does try its best to foster true cooperation between people of all nations.
the latter of sort of cooperation, however, is more akin to the type found in communist dictatorships or countries controlled predominantly by a single religion which doesn't care to protect the rights of those in the religious minority.

I think it can be more difficult for a group of JWs to work collaboratively with non-JWs.
Your mentioning this made me stop and think. And, I would tend to agree with you that JW's have a sort of conformity based on uniformity that would clash with non-JW mindsets. JWs like to think that they can collaborate with others, but really anything they are encouraged to do will be for the benefit of the 0rganization ultimately and completely.

The handmaid's tale, possible in a jw controlled world?
by purrpurr ini've been watching "the handmaid's tale" and while disturbing i found it to be doubly so because i kept thinking "if the jws ever got control of a country is this what it would look like?
" especially when it comes to the treatment of women as mere property.

Any fanatical religion seems to always end up looking and behaving alike no matter what God they claim to worship.
(It's so uncannily demonic ;- )

Disfellowshipped for being complicit in someone else's sin - really?!
by Isambard Crater ina close friend of mine who is pimo (only staying in for family reasons) in a neighboring congregation called me in tears tonight saying her dad (elder) is telling her he is seriously considering reporting her to her local elders and she could get disfellowshipped.. the reason?
because she is complicit in a gross sin, according to him, by going with her best friend (not a j.w.
) when the friend had an abortion.

Interesting Take on Vows
by konceptual99 inso yesterday was the wt on vows.. it spoke, in part about two vows.
the vow you make in dedication and the vow of marriage.
here's how it describes them.. the most important vow that a christian can make is the one with which he dedicates his life to jehovah.

Double standards are part and parcel of a WT controlled life.
Excellent topic, K99!
