around the 39:00 minute mark the focus shifts to a single sister who cannot find a mate.
at the 42:30 minute mark she states "i cannot believe it crossed my mind...to look on jw dating sites".
guess a new unwritten rule is added to the many oral traditions of these pharisees.
This is not new. For 10-15 years now the Kingdom Ministry & convention talks have explicitly said do not use JW dating websites, even naming jwmatch.com.
I have my own theory why not. Besides what they say, that you can't be sure of someone's 'spiritual character' online, they must be afraid that people who are internet savvy also have enough sense to research and will soon learn TTATT!
i am new to this site.
i was a jw from age 8 to 28. i am now 48 and leaving the organisation is the best decision i ever made in my life.
anyway,could somebody please tell me the current jw mis-stance on blood.
Yes, You mean "major component" & "minor fraction".
Major components are packed red cells, plasma, and platelets.
Minor fractions are immune goblins, albumin, and vaccines.

allyson lee, who is a missionary in nicaragua, misquoted "a very special scripture" - acts 1:8. she said, "that the good news will be preached to the most distant part of the earth.".
i subbled upon this very interesting article on the origins of the idea that jesus was an angel.

the begining od the article:.
first of all; i must admit that i'm not a huge fan of putting people in boxes like this, it is not an exact science.
but i still think the data can be quite interesting and i intend to collect it and share it in a structured way with you guys.
so without future ado here are the details.. link to test: .

I took a different test. I'm not sure your link is the most accurate online version of the Myers-Brigg. I've taken other versions with differing results. According to the link you are having people use I'd be ESJF. That's not accurate for me so I didn't use it.
i'm curious about the following:.
1) how long have you been a fader for?.
2) how often do you still get pressure from congregation members and/or family to return as an active witness?.
1) 6 mos
2) 2-3x/week
3) My baptized uncle successfully faded from age 27 till his death at age 42.
4)n/a
5) Not shunned, but treated like "bad association." I don't get invited to anything anymore. If I saw someone in public they'd still say Hi.
6) Don't care about any "friends," but some of the immediate family obeys the DF/DA arrangement and this is a factor.
7) 0
8) Yes, bc they are still controlling family and prevent my freedom of speech.
Please publish your results when you have them! I love stats.
in the wt's literature it is often theorised that the "great fish" that swallowed jonah was a whale shark.
indeed looking at whale sharks with their wide huge mouths it seems reasonable to think that a human could fit in there.... ... until that is you do any research on it.
while the whales mouth is huge, it's oesophagus however is only a few inches wide.
BAHAHA!!
Thank you for pointing this out, I was just wondering about this the other day!
there's a recent thread regarding the jw indoctrination expressed on the net, particularly instagram.
from an outsider looking in, i noticed this when looking through jw instagram profiles.
it came off super cult-ish and robotic along with similar wording used as though everyone, male or female, is a stepford wife (watch the movie for those who haven't seen it).
