  My last conversation with a JW

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  2. friends

  so, i got to thinking about the last time i spoke to a jw.. i was still living down south, june or july 2012.. and i saw this brother in my local high street.

  he was a few years younger than me - in his late teens and my early twenties we used to go out to pubs and get smashed.

  now this guy starts acting super spiritual - he sees me and after exchanging pleasantries he starts going on about armageddon and how the end is so close.

  "only he can stop it", which is to say you can't.

  

  This seems kinda like the GB waiting for Joe Hoover to stop the lawyers from "stealing" all of their money!

  Get Vaccinated or Get laid Off

  by StephaneLaliberte in

  i’m personally for the vaccine, took two shots and would take a third if asked.

  but i know a friend of mine that doesn’t want to take the vaccine who works for the government and now is faced with this choice: get vaccinated or get laid off.

  i don’t agree with this measure as it is totalitarian and runs against my core belief in individual freedom.. now, with that being said, what i don’t understand is that my friend still won’t get vaccinated.

  The idea of a mandate was designed to create a political nightmare -- at least in the US.

  People here, at least of European descent, are by and large the offspring of Europeans who crossed a BIG BIG ocean in LITTLE BITTY boats because they revolted against the King telling them what to do.

  Genetics are a powerful thing.

  The well educated young women I know have no problem with marrying or jumping in the sack with a rough & tough looking, well-built "blue collar" kind of guy. These guys are well paid here (mostly union jobs) and most are built like they live at a gym, which I imagine gives them pretty good stamina (if ya get what I'm saying).

  Anyone have your local cong. give out papers to say what you can afford to give the cult?

  by mickbobcat in

  back in the late 80s i can remember my local cong.

  pass around a paper that had a place for head of house hold name and how much they can afford to give every month for one year.

  but i remember the elders said they needed to know what they can bank on to know what they can afford to borrow to remodel ect.

  Yes when a remodel was being considered.

  Actual contributions fell far lower than what was "promised".

  WTS has their "tit in the ringer" on legal matters everywhere these days.

  Joe Hoover sure ain't blessing them in Court like he did in the good ole days.

  Where does the cult fall on sexually touching each other for married couples.

  by mickbobcat in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so its wrong for married couples to have oral sex and anal but what about touches to arouse?

  to climax i would assume it was wrong.

  but what if you go too far getting ready for sex and climax, do you need to go to the cult to confess..

  Never heard of anything said about that in any negative way. But frankly I thing the GB has learned to stay out of the marriage bed. I haven’t seen/heard anything from WT about oral or anal sex between consenting marriage mates in years.

  Are JW Masters of Deception?

  we do know that many of them are masters of deception!

  can you give us some examples?

  i notice that some worldly people think jw are very honest people but we know better than that!

  I don’t think they are “masters” at much of anything, although Overrated (above) may be on to something.

  Whoever it is that’s pulling the strings of Biden Adm. — now they are MASTERS.

  To me it was hard to believe that this City was built on the basis of people throwing their money away.

  GB / Wives ,wont voluntarily give up their lifestyle

  by smiddy3 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just an observation viewing some of their on camera appearances , and their arrogance believing they are the only one`s used by god to reach and teach the people ,despite what gj said at the arc on the subject.. no doubt the gb men wear designer tailor made suits from the best tailors in nys ?

  and their wives adequately provided for in a similar way ?

  nothing from kmart or target ,walmart or whatever.. shoes are probably made from form fit cobblers to fit the individual ?

  This is what - just about every Border in the United States looks like today.

  biden ordered the ffa to stop all cameras from taking pictures or recording this mess.. the doj is fighting to allow millions of immigrants into the country with covid.

  all immigrants don't have to take the vaccine or be tested.. terrorists from countries that hate america are entering the country.. guns are disappearing from the local stores, everyone is buying them out.

  there is no doubt that this administration wants to destroy america.
