  Missed the Meeting

  by konceptual99 in

  so yesterday was a lovely day where i live and so instead of going to the meeting we went, as a family, out for the late pm/early evening to have a bbq.

  we were far more relaxed than if we had gone to the meeting.

  we spent far more time talking that if we had gone to the meeting.

  Awesome. I LOVE little victories like this. Good for you! I'm happy your family is there to experience the thrilling stages of waking up as you slowly fade.

  your kids have to ~LOVE it~ when mom & dad say "we're not going tonight." These will be their fondest memories.

  And to anyone who doesnt "agree" with YOUR way of exiting, give em a big fat sloppy "f*ck you!" It's your business how you handle it. If they wanna judge, the Kingdom Hall is open Thursday night at 7:30--they'll find like-minded asshole dipshits like themselves.

  Recording that would blow up viral!

  i was wondering if anyone had an audio recording of a woman, preferably a minor being asked the intimate details of a fornication jc.

  that would hit the fan hard.

  OMG that would be epic. It would make the secular news. Only old-timey die-hards would change the channel in time. The majority of RF TBM JWs would eventually see enough of it to be utterly appalled.

  Hmmm... I know some slutty dub girls who could be persuaded if they ever got caught. It would have immensely more impact if the girl was a minor.

  i wonder if it would be easier to get a disgruntled mom or dad to record it. Aren't they allowed to sit in if she's under 18? Of course, that raises huge ethical questions: is it morally right to subject a girl to trauma and humiliation just to get a video? (I say YES. this shit needs to be exposed. Globally.)

  Do JW elders perform exorcisms?

  by QuestioningEverything in

  2. friends

  what if a person is thought to be possessed and nothing suspicious is found in their home, ie books, yard sale stuff, smurfs, etc..., will the elders perform an exorcism?

  have any of you ever heard of a person getting exorcised?.

  i am on here as another member, but even with a username and not revealing my identity, i am still too embarrassed to use it.

  had to make up a new one.

  that being said.... my boyfriend is watching pornography, and it seriously hurts my feelings.

  Schoolyard bully mentality

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm not naming names, but i just want to encourage people on here or on reddit or twitter, and tell you that you do not have to tolerate people who act like schoolyard bullies in the way they speak to you online.

  i think anonymity is a big part of it.

  they feel like there is zero accountability so they can be a bully all they want.. i recommend just ignoring or blocking anyone who is verbally abusive or treats you like schoolyard bullies treated you.. life is way too short to spend any time dealing with those kinds of people..

  "Would you tolerate someone being belligerent, rude, calling you names, saying you were stupid if you were having a discussion in your house?"

  
  

  Uhh, in my own house? no. But such encounters are expected online. That is an example of the fallacy of false equivalency. My home and "the internet" are 2 entirely different settings. Watchtower uses that same analogy all the time and it doesn't work. The more similar 2 things are, the stronger the analogy. My house and the entire World Wide Web couldn't be any less similar to one another.
  but none of that matters... Because if you HAVE "the truth," why let bullies bother you anyway?

  It is not an assumption. Keep doing your own research and when you arrive at the inevitable conclusion that no evidence exists for ANY branch of theology, you will find that a seat has been saved just for you at The Roundtable of Skeptics. See you when you get there. Cheers!

  Why don’t we have a better story?

  by iconoclastic in

  2. beliefs

  1. some say we are all gods, and god is omnipresent..

  2. some say: god created his children who later challenged his sovereignty, who in turn asked his eldest son: go down to the world, do not resist the wicked, but be murdered by them, the value of which will be used to atone the sins of the world..

  *yawn*

  The "offender" = usually an atheist

  The "offended" = usually a theist

  The lesson: There is nothing "offensive" about being right. Truth will endure criticism. Taking offense at the presentation of reason, logic or facts betrays a chip in one's own armor.

  And no, this observation is not "bullying" if it makes you feel bad.

  McKinney Texas pool party?

  by Marvin Shilmer in

  so today i was asked my thoughts on the pool party incident in mcminney, texas.

  my response: it shows a clash of expectations.

  i saw police officers who expected citizens to listen to and follow instructions.

  It is a double standard in that if we use profanity to an officer, there can be serious consequences.

  Im trying to wade thru the mire of internet hearsay about what led up to this incident. I've read 2 conflicting accounts:

  1) a black woman and her daughter got into some kind of fight

  2) a white couple said some racial slurs and some black kids responded. A paranoid soccermom called the cops and eventually was heard saying, "you need more cops. there's too many of THEM (black people)"

  im im sure there are components of both accounts, but I've seen cops show up on my cul-de-sac before to investigate a predominantly white suburban teen house party and things proceeded much differently. Kids were sat told to stay put and their parents were called.

  This asshole was screaming at MINOR CHILDREN, telling them to leave. Where were they supposed to go? Most likely, their parents dropped them off or their ride was parked somewhere else. If they walked across the street, they were thrown to the ground. If they stayed in place, they were thrown to the ground. Cops do that shit on purpose all the time; issue opposite commands to create confusion and get kids' names in the books.

  2 more cents:

  I hope this pudgy douchenozzle gets suspended.

  My 2 cents:

  police officers are public servants. They represent & enforce the law of the city, county or state in which they serve.

  Aside from the gun & physical altercation, I find it highly inappropriate for any public servant to use profanity while executing their duties. Trust me, I'm not a prude. I love a foul mouth when the setting is appropriate. However, think about what would happen to you at your workplace if you spoke to a colleague or customer with that language--or even had a potty mouth in everyday conversation. You'd be hauled into HR and warned. Most workplaces have polices against obscene or profane subject matter (hence the NSFW warnings on forum discussion). this officer was AT WORK. He used filthy and descriptive profanity to MINORS. What would happen to any of us if we just unleashed profanity on minors we didn't know in a public place?

  more notably, what would happen to any of US if we used that kind of language on an officer who pulled us over? Try saying "f*ck" or "goddamn" or "ass" to an officer and see what happens. Some states (like IL) even have finable laws on the books for "verbal assault" that cops and judges like to use when they're involved in road rage incidents while off duty (it's been in the news before... judge threw the book at a guy who flipped him off).

  its a double standard. I've seen cops in my city detain and scream at teenagers for nothing more than using profanity among themselves on a public sidewalk and this asshole cop sat them all down on the curb & chewed them out for 5 minutes (oh yes... AND asked for their IDs. Hello 4th Amendment?)

  I lose more and more respect for police every day. I know the whole "few bad apples" cliche, but I personally know a few cops and they're all just generally very sour asshole type-A people--kinda like the worst among the JW elders. That control-freak hot-tempered attitude is in every profession but not everyone gets to carry a side arm and ruin people's lives.
