Just for fun...
by Vidiot in…(and for the very first time), i thought i'd post a new topic completely non-wt-related... about a subject matter i have a particular affinity for.... ..i'm a major movie geek (most people here already know that), but one of the many things i especially like are what i call "middle-finger victory lines".. they are memorable (and extremely quotable) moments of dialogue, wherein the protagonist says an extremely cool or badass comment to a very deserving defeated opponent.... ...usually (but not always) said when victory has just been literally snatched from the clutches of certain defeat, and serving as a tall, proud, and victorious flipoff to the often (but not always) shocked-at-the-sudden-turn-of-events enemy.. my ten favorites:.
"smile, you sonofabitch.
"sheriff brody to the shark......just before firing his last bullet into a scuba tank lodged in the charging shark's open jaws.jaws (1975).

The Latest From The Loony Left
by Simon inso apparently, not only can people identify as men or women, regardless of reality, but they've now declared that people can identify as black or white as well!
no word yet from rachel dolezal, who will no doubt be declared a visionary, and sadly michael jackson didn't live long enough to celebrate.. i must say, now that i am a black woman, my views on reparations have completely changed.
y'all owe me some reparations bitches to make up for slavery yo.

Sooooooooooo, does this mean that Pocahontas really is a native American? -- I mean, I suppose she "identifies" as such.

I'm so glad you shared your story. Everyone loves a Happy Ending!
In retrospect, I know we were too "strict" on our little kids. NO WAY should a young child be expected to sit still for 2 f***ing hours of boring, dragass droning talks.
All are college graduates and doing excellent in life. None in jail. None with drug convictions or overdoses. None with unplanned pregnancies. They all left (at least mentally) before we did. All this from a family that was literally told they had the "worst children in the Congregation". To that I say:

He claims he's studied all religions and the JW make the most sense.
JW's have never even "studied" their own doctrines, let alone "all the other religions".

What does "The disfellowshipping of xyz is now rescinded" mean
by cognitivedizzy init has happened somewhere i know.
what is it and what does it mean.

I only know of it happening one time.
Local elders DF the guy but he eventually appealed to the Service Dept (Brooklyn then) and they determined the local elders had erred. He was not "reinstated". The DFing was rescinded.
Just another example of the dumbass redneck elders not following procedure. This was probably before the Secret Elders' Book was released, so I guess we'll give 'em come slack. I'm sure the Book spells it out clearly. But then, that means at least one of the Elders on the JC has to be able to read.

JWs: No Infant Baptism! (just children)
by neat blue dog inhere's a new article that came out:.
do jehovah’s witnesses baptize infants?no.
the bible does not endorse infant baptism.

And the most laughable part is that JW`s consider a baptised witness a Minister of God ? A male or female child of 10 or 12 is a Minister of god ? ~ Smiddy
But on a weekday for Field Circus, that 12 year old little boy who is a "Baptized Minister" will conduct the Field Circus Meeting for all those "lesser" women publishers who don't have a penis to qualify.

So why does the WT discourage teen marriage? Surely if a child is old enough to make a commitment to a church that can never be nullified except under threat of losing ones family and friends they must be old enough to marry!~ FedUpJW
YES! This is the best argument ever!
At 8, 10, or 12 years old, parents don't even kids make their own decisions on how late to stay up, on whether or not to brush their teeth, or perhaps even on what or order in a fast food restaurant. But it's OK to make the "most important decision of your life"?????

How Much of the WT Teaching Did You Believe?
by Ding insome people on this forum have said that they never really believed any aspect of wt teaching, that they couldn't wait to get free of it all.. others seems to have been really gung ho, believing it all until something happened that got you questioning "the truth.".
i would say my own high water mark was about 50%, which put me squarely on the fence, trying to decide if i should be in or out.. how about you?.

If you open your dictionary to the word: GULLIBLE, you'll find my picture.
I believed it all. All the hocus pocus holy spirit and all that. Anything that didn't quite "fit", well the Big J would sort it all out before The End.
