  Who would you have Lunch With? From JWN?

  the last few years "warren buffet.

  " has donated his time to the highest bidder for charity.

  the ebay auction usually goes for $100,000 to spend lunch-time and pick his brain on his view.

  "Extreme physical abuse" only grounds for separation, NOT divorce.

  by cedars in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  forgive me if i'm a bit slow with the title to this thread.

  the true absurdity of the cult that robbed me of my intellect for so long is still beginning to dawn on me.. i'm doing more research into domestic violence as part of a response to the notorious "wife beating" article in the feb 2012 watchtower.. i was shocked to find a question from readers in the w75 5/1 p286-288 which basically said that a battered wife would not be scripturally free to divorce her husband.

  my first reaction was that this stance must have changed since 1975, but then i dipped into my own memory from serving as an elder, and of course, adultery (including porneia) is given as the only scriptural grounds for divorce down to this day.. please can somebody correct me if i'm wrong, preferably with a reference?

  Why is this suprising?

  Matthew 19:9: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.

  I mean yeah it's a stupid and outdated rule. . . but it's Jesus's dumb idea not the witnesses.

  If I recall correctly he's an anti vaccination nut, but aside from that he's pretty funny and generally worth listening too.

  I finally drove off my wonderful jw wife...and i am so sad..

  by oompa in

  i helped her move out this weekend so i must be a masochist too...so on top of losing every friend in my life...i have now lost my wife...and yes i asked her to leave on more than one occasion this year...we have argued for nearly five years about wt crap...nothing i could ever say would make her question anything!!!!

  it was beyond frustrating...then this spring when i somehow disassociated myself and even lost my parents i knew i would never have a normal marriage no matter what...all i wanted was a normal marriage with mutual friends...that is off the table as long as she is a jw...but why could i not accept it???

  why could i not shut up???

  Texas Judge Who Was Taped Beating Daughter Is Suspended

  http://www.cnn.com/2011/11/23/justice/texas-beating-video/index.html?hpt=hp_t3.

  .

  judge william adams, who made national headlines after the release of a 2004 video of him beating his then-teenage daughter, has been suspended by the texas supreme court.. the reason for the action was not mentioned in an order of suspension that was made public tuesday.. adams, a court-at-law judge in aransas county, was roundly criticized when his now-adult daughter posted online a video of him beating her with a belt when she was 16.. the video also showed the judge cursing and berating hillary adams..

  Why she released this video to me, doesn't matter.

  I second that.

  I don't care if she said her reason was: "I wanted him to get the help he needed"

  Or if it was: "I wanted to get revenge by ruining his reputation and also hopefully bring about the beginning of ragnarok while I watch all my enemies boil in pain before my throne of skulls."

  It doesn't matter.

  The child abuse, and whether he is qualified to be a judge or not is the issue here. . .

  That being said, if SHE were a judge, I'd probably care more about her motives.

  Songs everyone should hear--at least once in their lives

  by WTWizard in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  and no, the sxxx that comes out of the kingdumb hell is not among that.. with all the rubbish you hear on the radio these days, one wonders if there are any decent songs out there.

  and "rubbish" doesn't mean debased music or music with satanic messages encoded in it.

  it means the crap that is thrown together, auto-tune'd for homogenization, and stuffed onto the radio.

  Ah yes, the 'radio' I remember that.

  That concept has pretty much faded from my memory like television commercials and browser ads. . .

  Being interrupted for offensively degrading commercials every 20 minutes, hearing the same 10 songs repeated over and over throughout the day. DJs talking through the beginning and ending of the few good songs. (Or worse, singing along to the first little bit.)

  Hearing a emergency broadcast TEST which has never in 20 years been useful to me ever. . .

  "Ancient Whale Bones Found Atacama Desert, Chile!" Creation or Evolution

  by AvocadoJake in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  how did those whale bones get into the atacama desert, if you have been there, it is a barren wasteland.

  i belive it might have been caused by the flood, but again i am one who belives in god.

  what do you think of this find, jesus or non-intelligence?

  Either that or the whale was alive, but 7,000,000 years old at the time of the flood. . .

  Hey, it could happen! Stuff lived longer when there was a 40ft thick water canopy overhead.
