I’m afraid I won’t be politically incorrect enough.

11Are You Afraid You Might Do Something or Say Something That Is Considered Politically Incorrect?
by minimus ini was just reading how a guy on the net was saying he was attracted to some black women like halle berry but serena or gayle king not at all.
he was expressing his opinion.
anyway, he quickly got fired and he profusely apologized for what he said and has asked for help from the naacp and the mayor’s office to learn to do better.

Yomama - “...If they win everyone will no about the details of the barbaric rule to shun...”
They’d easily find this the most desirable outcome...
..,in no small part because at this point, they no longer give a hairy blue fuck what The World thinks of them.

Mental gymnastics, out-of-context quoting, semantic pretzel-twisting... all from the sleazy lawyer's go-to grab-bag of shady, shitty courtroom tactics.
Once again, for the newbies, lurkers, and trolls...
...if you have to cheat to defend your beliefs, your beliefs don't deserve to be defended.
Fun fact, BTW... realizing that creationists (including the WTS) also routinely dip into sad grab-bag essentially gave me all the permission I needed to learn about evolution from authentic, unbiased sources.
Guess how that went?

Did The Witnesses Mess Up Your Sex Life?
by minimus inmost of the witnesses i knew never really talked about sex.
whatever couples did was pretty much kept quiet.
every once in a while a wife might complain to the elders or a friend that the husband is too demanding or even immoral because of the sex practices the husband wanted.

All this is kind of academic, though.
The actual historical reasons that the sexual uptightness of religious conservatives with European ancestry (the WTS's ideological forebears) got so entrenched are because...
a) ...constant indiscriminate boning naturally created a constant influx of illegitimate children, which, in turn, created constant lineage- and inheritance-related headaches, and...
b) ...syphilis had actually become a major problem (think the AIDS pandemic in the 80s, but lasting centuries because Medieval medicine).
Don't believe me? Look it up.
Entire fashion trends were designed around concealing signs of past or present infection.

When You Were A Witness Did You Believe Everything Taught?
by minimus inobviously at some point you stopped believing the witnesses had the truth or else you wouldn’t be here.
.
but for the most part, were you a true believer or were you typically a rebel or a doubter?

minimus - "When you were a Witness did you believe everything taught?"
Tried to.
More like "accepted", though.
But even that got harder and harder as time went on.

Speaks for Itself.
by BereanThinker7 in[9-15-95 wt- ‘the golden calf’ and the people said: “all that jehovah has spoken we are willing to do and be obedient.”—exodus 24:7. nevertheless, the israelites soon sinned against god.
they were still encamped at the foot of mount sinai.
moses had been on the mountain many days, receiving further instruction from god, and the people pressured moses’ brother, aaron, to make a god for them.

truth_b_known - "What most do not realize from this story is it's true purpose - to insult the former Israelite god El in favor of the new Israelite god, YHWY. El was represented as a bull. Making the idol of El a calf was done to insult El..."
Woah, okay, this is new.

minimus - "...Dating is not a game..."
Agreed.
It's actually more like school.
Weird, no?
Maybe not.
I've given this a shit-ton of thought as a parent, and in the end...
...the way I see it, adolescence is training for adulthood.
You learn to work a job, drive a car, interact (at least semi-)maturely with others, etc., all using training and practice*... because these are necessary skills for functioning as an adult by the time you get there.
And I would argue that the ability to navigate an intimate relationship might qualify, too (for the record, I don't necessarily mean "sexual" when I say "intimate").
Therefore, it stands to reason that learning how to navigate that type of relationship via training and practice - i.e. dating - could be appropriate during that time, too.
I could be wrong about that, but I guarantee you this...
...I would have been a way more well-rounded twentysomething if I hadn't followed the WT rules and dated the nice-looking female high school classmates who liked me.
Then again, if I had broken said rules, I may not have ended up married to the wife I have and become the father of the very kids whose "relationship training" I've given a shit-ton of thought about, so...
...what the fuck do I know?
*the regular definition of the word, not the one the WTS likes to use

Statistics not looking good

a couple of decades ago there were about 1200 people baptized every day as witnesses (on average).. a few years ago the co was glowing about 800 ones baptized per day.
he didn’t mention this was actually a big drop).

I don't know if they're in a "downward trend" yet...
...but I'd be surprised if they weren't plateauing.
