Nah. But I do think white people are expected to be more PC than other cultures.

Do You Think White People Are Being Discriminated Against?
by minimus insome call it reverse discrimination.
whatever you want to refer to as, in your opinion, are white people being unfairly picked on?
it seems acceptable that if you are white you are viewed with disdain.

What would happen to the Watchtower Org. if the recent UFO sightings were actually aliens ready to take over Earth
by pistolpete inthe past two weeks several ufo sightings.
navy and pentagon confirm sightings.
us military is worried because the technology being used to drive these air vehicles are showing no signs of any sort of jet fuel.

Not sure if it was official or not but I was of the understanding that the JWs don't believe in aliens because they would have already covered the question of sovereignty and gods right to rule. But if the never ending generation can't deter them I doubt a couple of aliens would change their minds. I'm sure they could spin it as the last of the last of the last of the last days.

Clap for the Carers (or Don't it's Forbidden)
by Slidin Fast inso, in the uk, during the early stages of covid there was a groundswell of appreciation for the nhs for their front-line sacrifice.
this was crystallised into a regular clapping/whistling/noise making session every thursday at 8pm.. "harmless" you would have thought, "a gesture of appreciation", "what could possibly be wrong with joining in on that innocent activity?".
well, the co during his recent rounds had a different view.

All they did is make more work for the JWs after the big A. Think of all the bodies of the people that didn't die of Covid that will need to be disposed of. -

Big Cull of Foreign Language Groups and Congregations
by eyeslice ini overheard mrs eyeslice listening to '2021 governing body update 3' yesterday.
apparently, they have started ditching foreign language groups and congregations as these weren't exactly roping anyone in.
of course there is a positive spin on all this - '4,000 plus elders freed up to serve in local language congregations' and of course there has been immensely positive feedback from various branches about the benefits of this.. i suspect though there will be an awful lot of elders who were serving as king pins in these congregations who are going to have their noses put out by going back to local language congregations where they will barely be used.

Apparently the locals were attending for free English lessons.
Lol can't have someone getting an actual benefit out of the meetings.

The difference in JWs in the cult
by mickbobcat ini have been in several congregations over the years.
the hypocrisy was staggering.
so many of these idiots were fake jws.some were strict followers and were as annoying as could be.

I can think of a couple reasons to be a half assed JW.
PIMI family that you aren't willing to lose.
Cheap semi-honest laborers.
Saving money on Holidays.

Derek Chauvin - The Right to a Fair Trial
by Simon inanyone following the derek chauvin trial?.
if you are actually following it, not just listening to the media, you will likely realize that there is a huge gap between what is going on in court and what is being reported in the media.. if the trial was fair, i think he should be acquitted.
there is plenty of reasonable doubt about the cause of death (his dealer doesn't want to testify because he could be guilty of 3rd degree murder for selling him a fatal amount of fentanyl) and even doubt over whether the officer even had his knee on the guys neck or did anything counter to what they were meant to do as per policy.. but is it fair?

You'll never convince me that there isn't something going on against black people.
I still remember and evening I was out with a family of black friends. We were leaving a convenience store and got pulled over for 110% nothing. That is unless you consider driving too carefully to be a problem. This dude literally was driving like a 70 year old man. The police didn't even offer up a pretense of why they pulled him over.

It wouldn't bug me so much except they seem to be doing it to people from their own neighborhoods.

Do You Tip At Eateries?
by minimus inif you go to a restaurant, do you tip and typically how much?
if you were given a 90 minute time frame to eat at a restaurant, would that restriction limit your tipping to the waitress or waiter?.
also if you order a coffee and donut and pick it up, do you contribute to the “tip jar” that’s on the counter?

True Story.
One time I went out with about 10 of my rowdiest friends where we drank and ate like kings. Our well off friend offered to pay the bill (we all drank to that). As we were about to drive off from the restaurant the waitress came out and exclaimed: "Thanks for the great tip!". All of us turned to our friend and asked "WOW, how much did you leave her!". His reply: "I didn't leave anything. I paid the bill you guys were supposed to leave the tip"
Needless to say we went back in and gave her what was likely the best tip of the night.
She thanked us for restoring her faith in humanity.

Sincere Jehovah’s Witnesses vs. Insincere Jehovah’s Witnesses
by minimus inas far as i know, sincere jws are always welcomed here.
even though this site is not pro jw , if someone wants to ask a question or try to understand a point of view, there are many here who over the years have tried to help sincere witnesses.
if i believe someone is here just trying to push buttons, i will either ignore them or actually question their motives.

Whatever the reason they are here it's a chance to help them wake up. If they are here I assume they have questions, even if they go about asking them in a somewhat unorthodox method.
I would never have purposely come to a site like this when I was a JW. I would have been one of the button pushers if I did. Instead I spouted my BS in some agnostics chat room where I got schooled. No doubt it was because most of them had read something other than the Creation book to back up their claims. I chose the agnostics because you could have a discussion where the atheists seemed just about as dogmatic as the JWs which turned me off.

How long did it take before you realized that you missed the obvious?
by pistolpete inremember when the public speaker in the kingdom hall or convention related the ten plagues and the parting of the red sea?.
the finale when jehovah closes the red sea and swallows pharaoh's entire army of egyptian men.. when i was a little kid about 5 years old and listened to this story, i would think---wow jehovah is strong.
when i started school and started learning compassion as early as the first grade i started wondering?????.

When I saw the children's version of the story of Sampson, it dawned on me that the story is really best suited to a comic book. The drawing of Sampson running up a hill with the city gates stuck to his shoulders really hit that home.
That was a while after leaving though. When I was in I didn't really give much thought to whether or not things made sense. I also feel like my reading comprehension went way up after leaving.
