  I don't think the website works anymore, but it is pointing to a jw.org infrastructure.

  This is how desperate they are

  so, back in the day, when you had an 'unruly child' and/or family members, your privileges were removed pretty much instantly right?

  my entire childhood i had to hear about how me being bad in the hall or someone telling the elders about what's happening at our home, that's making it so my stepfather never gets or keeps appointments.

  so always be good, don't tell anyone anything, so the men can become servants and elders and the women pioneers.. so i hear this about an elder family that pretty much broke apart.

  So I hear this about an elder family that pretty much broke apart. 16yo skipped school and got pregnant she got df'ed obviously but baby comes to the hall, the older one runs away from home to live with boyfriend. The mother elderette still looking to talk to the kids.

  And this isn't the only one, in a similar situation another person I used to know made servant a while ago but their kids grew up are now teenagers and are getting reproved (unbaptized publisher), but they all keep their position, because apparently there aren't enough men to do the job anymore.

  Even better, all of them PIMI parents and kids are looking to become pioneers for the summer.

  New? This has always been a rule since they started coming out with those types of jeans now well over 30 years ago. i definitely remember we had COs and circuit conventions where it had been mentioned in the late 90s and early 2000s.

  The way it was always explained was that we should always be ready to represent Jehoober and never wear anything reflecting rebellious attitudes or rock and roll or heavy metal or emphasizing our bodies (so no ripped jeans, no tight clothing, no leather). Basically women should always try to wear a skirt, pants only if necessary for the situation or work, men should always wear a nice collared shirt, not tight nor baggy jeans.

  Some elder/CO type people go as far as saying that basically you should wear things that are only slightly more comfortable than when you go to a meeting. I know people, ex-Bethelites that basically wore suits to the beach, only leaving behind their jacket and tie.

  Roe vs Wade Overturned by US Supreme Court!

  by Simon in

  i know there was a leak a few weeks back, but this really does seem to have come out of the blue.. the anomaly was the original decision.

  it clearly had no basis in law or the constitution, and was a flimsy, ridiculous ruling.

  plus the whole thing was based on a fraudulent case in the first place.. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61928898.

  Here is the earliest born baby at 21 weeks: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2017/11/14/mom-delivers-earliest-premature-baby-ever-and-chooses-resuscitate-miracle-aughter-now-healthy-toddle/861386001/

  Now Roe v Wade legalized abortion until 24 weeks, people on the left say that baby at that point is just "a clump of cells" that has "no cognitive capacity", it "cannot feel anything". Look at the picture and now tell me where you would put the limit. The baby at that point (21 weeks) can obviously cry, feel, see, hear etc.

  Moreover, "the clump of cell" transplants are now possible at any point in pregnancy, there have been a few cases where the mom got killed in a car accident and the baby was transplanted and subsequently grew. Fetal transplants were first successful in 1922, more than a century ago.

  So the case for abortion is really, really, slim, if you're going into surgery anyway, why not have the baby transplanted to a willing mother. Yes, if the mom is in danger, this has always been and remains legal, but that's literally a fraction of the pregnancies.

  @Gabe: abortions after viability have been illegal. So yes, they would in the minority. It doesn’t change that people are lobbying to make it legal, this has been part of the platform for the DNC. In NYS and California they are currently legal but were illegal under Roe v Wade, so we will have to see whether that ticks up, but if you aren’t opposed to killing a baby at 12 or 20 weeks, not sure why’d you be opposed to killing it at 12 months or 12 years.

  @sloppy: there are babies that have been viable before 22 weeks, science keeps moving that back further. There are people that have done embryo transplants as well. The point that abortion is the only option, is shrinking with science.

  These are the "thousands" protesting today: scary bunch lol: https://twitter.com/i/status/1540657516958420992

  If it was such an issue, the media wouldn't have to use their telelens at a 6ft distance to hide the empty spots on the street.

  SCOTUS ruling on the Stratton canvasing case: Cappytan & Mark O'Donnell livestream

  by Diogenesister in

  i just saw got a message from cappytan that he is going live on the 19th june est (uk 8 pm) with mark o'donnell & jake alt worldly to discuss the recent scotus ruling in favour of watchtower re: the stratton v. watchtower case.

  so the stratton mayor required anyone canvasing door to door to fill out a form prior to visiting residents homes.

  watchtower claimed the form, which required you to reveal your name, was unconstitutional and interfered with their first amendment, free speech rights.. my step father in the uk was responsible for our restriction on 'cold calling" law, enacted to protect the vulnerable from illegitimate businessmen, criminals and others intent on taking advantage of the vulnerable at home or otherwise doing them harm.

  SCOTUS is correct in this case, you shouldn’t need a permit or put on a list for exercising your constitutional rights. You’d hope they rule the same for the second amendment case that is currently in the same vein in front of them.

  @blondie: the majority of the people online that get triggered never had any trauma. Moreover, if you’re that sensitive, stay away from online forums and/or get therapy or get institutionalized.

  If you’re truly triggered by something I say, then that’s a YOU problem and YOU should get help, not a pretext to shut down the speech you don’t want to hear.

  At least these guys are honest, he’s a welfare Christian, so send him money and you will learn how to get rich (which I guess is correct, if you understand how he got rich, you can repeat the same formula), he doesn’t hide he is rich though, he doesn’t pretend modesty.

  These guys have a huge marketing system developed, so I guess if he visits to the UK, he will pull thousands of people in an arena.
