"Well, of course you can't accept statistics at face value, newspapers are biased, researchers are prejudiced, scientists are in it for the glory, yadda yadda yadda..."
Because newspapers always downplay the bad things in order to get better ratings. . .

"what's next, eating your own pet dog?"
Some people have pet pigs. . . and I genuinely don't give a crap if they feel disturbed by me eating pork. Nor would I care if they ate their pet pig.
I'm not a pet person, but if I DID have a pet pig, I'd still eat pork. Pork is not hard to come by, so I'd eat OTHER pork and not eat my pet.
So yeah, I'd eat a horse, and I don't care if eating dogs is allowed as well.

So my great-grandfather was alive when the titanic sank.
He was still alive when I was born.
So therefore I'm part of the generation that saw the titanic sink!
Does anyone else actually use that definition of 'generation' or it JUST a witness thing?

big deal, over little
"Hey everyone, your only reason for believing that paradise is less than a decade away. . . yeah it's wrong. Nu-lite and all that."
"Turns out Jesus was high when he was talking about the Generation and actually meant something even more vauge then we had previously thought. And basically it could be another couple hundred years in this system instead of months. "
"But I'm not sure why you guys are making such a big deal out of it. It's not like you neglected saving for retirement or anything right?"

"Extreme physical abuse" only grounds for separation, NOT divorce.
by cedars inforgive 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I mean yeah it's a stupid and outdated rule.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.
