  elders wife swapping question

  by unstopableravens in

  2. beliefs

  i hear of these stories of elders swapping wives, i remember when i was young hearing of three elders in florida doing this and getting dfed.

  my question is this how is it possible to bring this up in conversation?

  it seems impossible, how can there be multi elders that know each other willing and the wives?

  Hard to believe. I think one word implying such an arrangement would bring the evening to a screeching, awkward conclusion. Somebody is drunk.

  PS. I think DP would be out of the question.

  Can you light up the moon with laser pointers?

  part of "fun with science" series.....basically interesting stuff using math and science!

  this is from xkcd's "what if" series where hypothetical questions are answered.

  laser pointerif every person on earth aimed a laser pointer at the moon at the same time, would it change color?.

  I have "burnt out" 2 chihuahuas and a cat on laser pointer fun. They look at the red dot a couple of times and give me the "FU, where's the chicken?" look.

  Elders finally took me to the back room...

  by OneDayillBeFree in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  after several months of leaving the meetings as soon as they ended or only staying for "the first meeting" then leaving the "second part", the elders finally cornered me at last night's meeting.. they said they were concerned about me and that being that i am a young brother in a recently divided congregation they saw so much potential in me to help out the congregation and become a ms.. i told them i was thankful for their thinking of me to help the congregation but that at the moment i could not due to my job.

  then the began asking personal questions that got on my nerves.. they asked where i worked and how much i made.

  they asked if i was going to college and what i was studying and for how long.

  They were on a "fishing and hunting" trip.

  A rule I live by - If someone asks you a personal question that is none of their business you have no obligation to tell them the truth.

  A possible motive - Are they short of MS material in your cong? Maybe they are just trying to round up a new recruit. I have heard here that the Elders are thinning out and MS are looked upon as replacements.

  From the TV coverage it looked like a very nice, upscale home. The man who broke in (peace be with him) appears to be a very unfortunate individual who had turned to desparate measures in order to live a decent life.

  It's too bad it has to come to this. All people have to do is be more sharing and unselfish with their material posessions.

  Being shot in the face with a .38 seems a cruel thing to do to someone who is in need.

  Why dose the WT hate porn?

  by on the rocks in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  porn movies are the most positive ones...no murder,no war, no fight, no cheating, no suspense (every body knows the climax).

  just love and lots of love with happy endings.

  We DF'd a young man with a sweet, beautiful wife and baby. It was a long difficult JC case that went on for a couple of months.

  The bottom line was he was hooked on porn and demanded anal sex from his wife. He forced it on her once and she refused anymore (duh) so he quit having relations with her at all and would take porn into the bathroom to satisfy his urges.

  Porn objectifies and reduces the sex act to meaningless selfish gratification. It can also trigger base urges that some cannot resist.

  It can destroy an otherwise loving, healthy relationship.

  Some can take it or leave it but it can really mess up some young men whose only knowledge of young women has been through porn.

  Pedos - Hardwired?

  by Satanus in

  1. social
  2. current

  from the various readings about the subject, it occured to me that pedophilia could very well be hardwired, as are homosexuality and heterosexuality.

  that's not to say that it can be legitimized, like the other 2 sexualities.

  it does mean though, that a different approach needs to be taken as soon as pedo proclivity shows itself.

  Yeah, I have thought the same thing. Seems that it is incurable and it propagates itself through the abuse of the child victims.

  The solution is obvious but this society would rather legalize it than deal with grim reality. So it continues.

  How many decades/centuries before 1914 becomes irrelevant?

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  how long do you think the watchtower can speak about 1914 and have followers think it relevant?

  i think for people born in the 1900's, it feels like an acceptable year.

  but what about those born since 2000, will 1914 seem like a year of relevance?

  It's called "moving the goal posts". The WatchTower company is a master of the tactic. 1914 is one end of a rubberband chronology. No more end of the world blind alleys.

  Remember - It's not about credibility, not even a pretense. It's about Disfellowshipping and shunning. "We will fuck you up good!"

  WT to Brethren: "Are you still spreading our recently exposed lies that we were forced to change to save ourselves from utter embarassment? (Watchtower -April 15, 2013 page 9)

  of course, that question was softened up and changed to:.

  "is your teaching up-to-date?

  " (see illustration on page 9).

  I think it would help if they introduced a memory aid that helped keep things straight. Kind of like rosary beads that can be color coded and changeable. Hey - remember these?
