I've just finished watching it. Some really interesting stats about morality in 'this time of the end'. If you're a lurker, you HAVE to watch this. It will blow all that WT bullshyte about the last days out of the water.
The particular theme is 'sin'. He talks about masturbation, and how it's practised more within religious groups (practise makes perfect). Also, some crazy stuff about muslim women getting hymen-replacement surgery so they don't shame their family when they get married. As I say, the stats about morality are the most eye-opening. For instance, rape is down by 80% in the past 50 years!
It's a pity this hasn't had the coverage it ought to have had. It seems to have gone under the radar.

i am getting married soon.
part of the teaching i've experienced is that a wife must learn submission to her husband.

Welcome to the forum Mark_C!
It is scriptural, but then again, so is stoning your kids when they tell you to *@#$* off.
What Phizzy said.
The bible was just written to keep women down, and subservient. End of story.

Flirting with going Vegetarian, anyone of you ever graduate from simply thinking about it?
by Theocratic Sedition init's just a thought right now, but one of those thoughts where i have that itch.
it's that same itch felt before i purchase something major.
i'm just wondering what i might be getting into based upon others experiences in this regard.

I'm virtually veggie now. I say that because we have to keep meat in the house as we have 3 dogs. (they won't eat tinned meat, and it ends up in the trash). I just eat mainly veggie for health reasons. I also don't eat bread or pasta, as it just bloats you up. I eat lots of potatoes, beans, chickpeas etc. Lots of curries, salads, fish, eggs, cheese.... I also take a multivitamin supplement, cod liver oil/hemp oil and slow release vitamin C. I'm in my early forties, and feel pretty good health-wise. No different to my twenties.
If you want to stay veggie, and don't want to fall of the wagon- STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM BACON. I know lots of other veggies who treat it like kryptonite.

Here's my prediction. When Rick's preggy wife goes into labour, it will be twins. Like Cain and Abel...one will be holding onto the other's foot coz it's a deady!
I also think there'll probably be more infighting and killing now they've hooked up with the prisoners. This episode they really went for it with the splatter fx....even the slightest incidental detail in the distance. Hopefully this season will be better than the last.

My Near Death Experience
by Dogpatch inhi y'all, just wanted to let you know i was out for a stroll on my bicycle for exercise last week and got hit by a car 100 yards from my house.
it was a hit and run.
i got up with only minor bruises but felt really dizzy and asked one of my roommates to take me to the hospital as i was dizzy and felt i was going to pass out on the spot in the middle of the street.

Wow! I have personal experience of crap hospital care in the UK too. The only bike I use these days is an indoor exercise bike. The roads these days are way too dangerous. I got hit by a drunk driver once.
Hope the aches and pains go away soon.
Take care

Do You Ever Doubt Your Efforts Are Futile?
by Elephant in...hello folks.... ...i've read countless of posts, ideas, opinions, etc here and i'm interested in your response.... ...there is a whole gamut of feelings here from individuals that are simply annoyed with the wt organization, to those that come off as hellbent on putting the org out of comission.... ...others yet seem to have made it their mission in life to eradicate the concept of god himself.... ...to any of these, what is your motivation?
and do you ever doubt that these efforts are futile?
do you feel that you posses the power/ability/means to change the convictions/faiths of the masses?

I think places like these won't ever change the masses wholesale. Hopefully they will create a good bit of erosion for the watchtower. I don't think the WT will disappear anytime soon. There are still too many JWs who have too much invested in it to leave. Even some who seriously doubt still stay because they can't be honest with themselves, and just get by on wishful thinking.
I think growth in under-developed countries where people have poor education will account for the WT's future growth. It will continue to decline in the west, where there is good access to information on the net.
It's nice to see new users on here and watch them blossom into fully fledged apostates. it's gratifying to know that at least some people will escape the mind prison. It makes me hopeful for my own family.

hello I recently got away from the so called "truth" looking for people to talk to
by LuLu4YouYou inhello my name is louis.
i have seperated myself from the jws and am looking for people to talk to.
i dont have many people in my life who will even speak to me anymore or even acknowledge that i exist.

Hi Louis, Welcome! I think the advice you're already getting is good. Definitely see a counsellor/psychiatrist. It'll definitely help your cause. You will then have proof to show any court that you are on top of things in your life, that you are taking control and being responsible. Also, you can have your counsellor vouch for you, and give first-hand testimony that you are ready to get your kids back in your life. I really hope things go right for you, not only for your sake, but for your kids. They are probably getting the indoctrination right now. I would just try to get to know them again, and be their friends, and not criticize anything about your family or the JWs. Ease them into thinking for themselves gently.
Wishing you the best of luck

I'm ashamed that I read this whole thread. I feel like one of those people who slows down while driving to gawk at a road accident.
I feel dirty now.
