  Do You Think Prostitution Should Be Illegal?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  recently, in my area, a number of people have gotten caught looking to pay for sex from a call girl.

  a catholic priest was one of the "johns" that got arrested.. i know there are some that argue that it is debasing.

  still, for a million years, it's been going on and there are willing parties who want to engage in this activity.. if two consenting adults want to have sex with one another and are willing to pay and accept the services, is it a horrible thing, in your opinion?.

  I say decriminalize the prostitute at the state level. Make sure anyone acting as a pimp is criminal at State and at the Federal level.

  It would similar to Alaska's privacy laws. Alaska's privacy laws allow for personal use weed. If you have a large amount you can be prosecuted at the Federal level. With small amounts it is and has been beat in our State courts.

  I don't use either. But a ton of money is spent messing with people over things that don't really hurt the populace. As long as those that use said vice are responsible about when and where they partake.

  Was it EX JW literature / WT's or the BIBLE which woke you up? Post scriptures if any....

  i considered myself immune to ex jw stuff.

  no amount of old watchtowers or anything would change me.

  it was seeing treatment of others by elders and the bible itself, which woke me.

  The Bible states “can not predict the end” it also says “any that add or take away from this”.

  I'm a born-in, I sat those two statements next to each other when I was 14 and left home and the Borg 3 years later.

  It was The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures that got me out of the Borg.

  i hate to be a sports critic but nevertheless, i find this kind of wrestling as going far on the top.

  i have great respect for other country's culture but the question is: how far should we tolerant extremist sport that glorify pain and suffering as a price of achievement?

  what is your reactions?

  religious christendom's heavy blood guilt!.

  to pair the word hate with christian, would really be foriegn to the hearer of that combination of words, wouldn't it?

  that would certainly be nothing the founder of christianity would be guilty of, would it?

  within a month i see her again and she took him back within a wk of him going to live with this other woman , she told me she blamed herself for not having sex often enough !and they were working on their marriage !

  Who has more personal integrity? Jw's or XJw's?

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  atj's thread is the inspiration for these thoughts.

  credit where due.. his thread about trolls was interesting.

  i was thinking about the fact that we have these jw-trolls here on jwn, and on most of the xjw sites.

  Integrity is important. With an active Dub integrity would play second to WBATS dogma, therefor invalidating the value of the integrity of the Dub.

  Here in Anchorage I was employed by a well known Dub. He is the owner of a residential insulation company. He's well known as a under handed not to be trusted business owner. I worked for him for a year, because it was all I could stand. He's a liar and a cheat. I know General Contractors that get angry at the mention of his name.

  If it matters his initials are TL

  He would say the initials do not stand for Tony Larma.

  I personally do not have any dealing of any sort with JW's because I know they can't be trusted

  JW Woman dies refusing blood....

  wendy cloete louwwe lost a sister in our congregation today, had severe depression and tried to take her own life.

  sad thing is if the doctors stopped being petty and insisting on bloody and just gave her alternative blood volumiser sooner she might have been fine.

  it took the elders hours to get her transferred to a new hospital.

  Her suicide was assisted by the WBATS because she knew that regardless of blood loss and need. The borg would not stop the results of her attempt from being successful.

  The JW's assisted in her suicide.

  It was no different then suicide by cop

  Chinese R allowed only one child. If it is female they have to abort it. What do JW's do?

  by foolsparadise in

  i have always wondered what jws do if they get pregnant with a girl.

  do they abort the fetus like the government tells them to do?

  or does the society forbid married couples in china to have sex?

  China is stepping into a massive sausage fest as the one child policy catches up to it. Currently the ratios are 125 males to 100 females some area s are at 145 males to 100 females.

  One link I found list the females as out numbered by 35 million
