  Engaged Couples Living Together

  by ILewis in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  my question is this.

  is it wrong for a jehovah's witness to allow an unmarried couple to live together under their roof?

  same room, same bed, they are allowing full on cohabitation.

  There once was a time when Boozer Rutherford told JW's all a couple needed was to cohabit together. No need for ceremony or legal paperwork.

  Boy oh boy how things have changed, eh?

  Rolf Furuli Mental Health

  by oppostate in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  rolf foruli, scandinavian academic and watchtower apologist, has come out with a video at times quoting figures on mental disease from the 1930's and 40's, in support of his allegation that the rate of mental problems and depression is actually only a third of what it is among the entire population.. there are numerous holes in his presentation.

  for one, when jw's are da'ed or df'ed they're no longer considered jw's and only active jw's are part of the results.

  those who were victimized and suffered the most mental trauma as jw's aren't even considered in the studies he mentions.. watch his video: "the mental health of jehovah´s witnesses" r. furuli, on youtube:.

  The real question might be "what is Rolf Foruli's own state of mental health?"

  Is Trump Doing Better Than You Thought As President!

  Heck NO! I thought a year ago that maybe he'd be better than my low expectations would have him do, but he's dropped the bar even lower for himself.

  He continually astounds me with his ignorance and his tactless tweets. His narcissistic and grandiose self promotion is appalling. And too, his divisive policies are doing harm to the country and its people. One of the worst American presidents in history.

  I've also read his books and I'm very impressed with the research he's done.

  I highly recommend watching the interview.

  the last post about the violin for sale got me to looking at their ebay account which says it's based in wallkill.

  they've got over 200 items for sale, most obsolete electronics that are grossly overpriced.

  among them are used hard drives, like this one:.

  2. bible

  the may 2018 watchtower is now out and thought i would make a few observations.in this article we get a story about gb sam herd.

  the recurring theme throughout is the struggles he has had as a black man.he was born in 1935 in a one roomed log cabin in liberty indiana.

  his mother raised him in the baptist church.

  with all the focus on the new anti-masturbation vide telling all bethelites not to sleep inappropriately with a pillow, surely this has to be the very item that will send the gb into fits of despair?
