There are plenty of publications that say that if you stay overnight with a member of the opposite sex, you probably have committed fornication, with very few exceptions.
Hope she gets his money though :)

Renting to a Witness of the opposite sex...
by James Robinson ini need a question answered.
i know of a situation where a single sister took in a single brother as a renter, so she could be his caregiver, as he was very along in years.. long story short, they were forced to get married.
i believe it was labeled under "appearance of evil" by the elders.. my question is: what do the elders base this on?

How did Revelation make it in the bible?? It's a drug fuelled trip!
by Witness 007 incatholic church killed off alot of christian books from the "offical" bible collection.
so why let thru the weird book of revelation?
have you read the watchtowers explanation it's a joke rutherford's conventions play a huge part..

Because Revelation was the least weird one, read some of the other available books and you’ll soon find a ton of reasons why those books were left out of the canon they wanted to create.
That being said, Revelation falls in the same set as Daniel and other apocalyptic writings in the Bible, it’s basically a set of writings about the political situation of those days, back then would’ve been easily understood but the details have since largely been lost.

Are Jehovah's Witnesses permitted bone marrow transplants?
by Vanderhoven7 injust found this article and am wondering if there has been new light on this issue.
the watchtower magazine of may 15, 1984:.
could a christian accept a bone-marrow transplant, since blood is made in the marrow?.
-

Interesting how they tacitly admit that the writer of the Bible (supposedly god himself) didn’t know that blood cells originate from the marrow and thus had no scientifically consistent restriction on eating blood or its components. Thus to be biblically consistent they have to be inconsistent.

@gardenia: so basically leaving the JW = unforgivable sin. That’s nothing new, they’ve been saying that for years based on other scriptures.

how long after a fade does the local hall keep your records?
by mickbobcat inso i have not been to a kh for 26 years.
if i wanted to dissociate what would be the procedure and is there any gain in doing it so long after i left?.

Depends on your jurisdiction, in many cases they keep a record around until the legal limits tell them it needs destroyed or in some jurisdictions it may have to be destroyed on demand. Whether or not they follow the legal limits is another thing altogether, the branch may remind them but it often gets forgotten about.

This isn’t new, you’ll see this from time to time, you pay a broadcaster like Sinclair or iHeartMedia and they will give a scripted interview.
Businesses and politicians will both do this from time to time.

Alec Baldwin Shot a Woman Dead
by Simon inso alec baldwin shot a woman dead on set and seriously injured another man.. what do we put this down as?
a tragic accident?
maybe ... except that implies no one was to blame.. the more you find out, the more it seems that this was due to negligence and lack of attention to safety.

@road: real ammo is not forbidden on set, often it is necessary to shoot real bullets for closeups or else the result does not look realistic. It is forbidden in certain situations (eg if you’ll shoot at a person or inside a building)
Prop gun, basically means “property of the theater” gun, it’s for all intents and purposes a real gun. Baldwin cheaper out and spent 8000 on the armorer, 5000 on the ammo and a few thousand on the guns while paying himself $250k and a chunk from the profits, which was planned to make him another $650k. So he was going to make nearly a million dollars and cheaped out on everyone else.
For a Western, that is a very low budget for armorer and gun safety. Given ammo is very expensive these days, you’re on a very tight budget, having custom ammo made is very expensive, just the smoke stuff costs >$1/blank in 9mm, for a “western” revolver we’re talking probably .36 or any of the Colt caliber black powder which is >$3/blank or even more if it’s a revolver with a caliber that is no longer in common production.
So you do a few takes with the classic shootout scenes, shoot a few hundred bullets every take, you’ve just gone through your entire budget, so closeups may use a cheaper “real” bullet available on the open market for cost reasons. You can create realism with black powder, some chemicals to make the flash and a small object, but it’s still dangerous (Brandon Lee got killed by one of these) and even more expensive ($15/bullet is not unheard of).

@Anna Marina: here is legislation introduced by a molester: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB145
It would potentially lower the age of consent to 14 in some cases for molesters and even lower for molesters under the age of 21 (down to 11). This is being pushed as LGBT equality.

The Shat Heard Round the World
by Simon indid it really happen?
i keep seeing it on twitter .... did biden really ... have a bathroom accident ... in the vatican?.

All things point to something embarrassing happening. A 15 minute meeting with the pope turns into an hour and a live event gets cancelled. He walks in with a black suit and out with a blue suit. Why did he change during a Vatican visit?Then rumors from the Vatican itself start circulating it was because a bathroom accident.
Regardless of what exactly happened, the lack of transparency is what is causing this to trend.
I guess from now on they’ll need two suitcases to travel with the President at all times, one nuclear, one regular one.
And Google has blocked Poopy Pants Biden from being auto-filled or popping in the suggestions and both Facebook and Twitter are hiding the number 1 trend unless you actively search for it.

Lol so you respond with an ad hominem. Let’s admit it: “it’s a cult”
Just to educate you: if someone responds to your argument with a logical argument and you say it’s a non-sequitur without any arguments, and then when called out you start calling people names, it looks a lot like your cognitive dissonance is deflecting the issue at hand. Which is easily recognized on an ex-cult site.
I truly hope you get the help you need when you start researching the facts about your cult. You can find them by the hashtag #WalkAway, started by a gay liberal activist that likewise found out the truth about ‘the truth according to CNN’.
