>>>> Every time I talk about the two-witness rule for child molestion proof, they get upset with me and tell me to wait on Jehovah.<<<

Ask 'em if they, as one person, witnessed a child being raped if they'd "wait on Jehovah" because, gee, obviously since it was just one person seeing it happen...the rapist MUST be innocent.

Singer Songwriters who should be household names....

by hillary_step in

over the decades musicians rise and fall like a spring wind.

some stay where they should never be, some never are where they should be; such is the roulette of time.

this thread is dedicated to singer songwriters who influence the rest of the best, but are seldom known - 'gamblers in the neon, clinging to guitars...' .

Is Pedophilia Really A Huge Problem With Jehovah's Witnesses?

by minimus in

jws say they are clean and pure and undefiled and not like the world but in reality there are those that do very evil things and they either have fallen through the cracks, have gotten disciplined or disfellowshipped.. we realize that just because a person says they are a christian, it doesn't mean they will always act like one.. regarding pedophiles, do you believe that jws have a huge problem involving an infestation of pedos?

It's not any higher, technically, than any other group. But it becomes far higher because of the lack of reporting, hence the criminals don't go to jail, and can continue unabated, because even the cong. does'nt know what happens in a committee meeting, and everyone else who know is told to keep it quiet. So, yeah, huge problem.

I Had Lunch With Michelle Obama Today

by Justitia Themis in

friends

she is an amazon...i'm guessing 5' 11" with big hips.

her speech was ok, but she says "um" a lot.

our table was very close, which translates into we paid $500.00, instead of $200.00, per plate for our cold chicken salad.

5'11? 6'0? that's nothin'. I dated a girl,6'2, almost married her. and I'm 5'10. She did'nt have big hips, but damn some other ladies I've dated have. Woo-hoo!!

I wrote this a few years ago.

My night mare

I wake up, & there is a beautiful garden all around. People from all different cultures greet me. I take a breath of this wonderfully pure air, redolent of flowers. People come up & hug me, saying welcome brother, welcome back to life. As they quench my brow, & bring me a cool drink, I am puzzled, I think, where have I seen this before? I spy a little hottie to my left, & as I have always been wont to do, I say "Hi, gorgeous, how's it going"? And with a look that is part pity, part disgust, & part disdain, she runs away giggling. Then it all starts to come together. I see a couple of red-faced, sanctimonius men rushing towards me. They look angry, I think, " Naw, no fuxxing way" I pull down my pants..................."WHERE THE HELL IS MY DICK!?!?!?!?? "oh, explains elder Bob, the dead are not married or to be given in marriage, Jah just wants to make sure."NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! I rush away, thinking, no way do I wanna spend eternity w/ a bunch of dubs with no DICK!!!!!! I jump off a cliff, but it's to no avail, just like in groundhog day, someone comes up & says, "You can't die, at least not for another thousand years!!!!!" I scream, & then I finally wake up. In a dumpster, in a dirty, filthy town, that I don't even know, reeking of booze & urine. I breathe a sigh of relief, & smile to myself, knowing it is good, so good, to be really, wonderfully, painfully, sinfully, alive!!!! Thank you, lord!!!!!

What JW teaching did you find hardest to defend??

by karter in

for me it was that god is killing billions of people just to prove a point.

what about you?

Common sense how, Solace? Like, for instance, how would a JW answer that if we are created to be "perfect", no disease in the world, etc. why is so much of our body made up of immune systems? How is it "common sense" to explain to a mother who's child has just died because of lack of vaccination, organ transplant, that he could have been saved now because that was "old light?" How is it common sense to cover your Omnipotent "God's" ass, by a FDS on down cover up of child molesting instead of protecting kids? Common sense, my ass.
