in short:- tight pants is no longer just a am3 hang up (or is that a hang up on the well hung?
)- brothers who have effeminate body language are flagged up- as are sisters with 'masculine' hair styles or dress- such dress is 'disturbing to the congregation'- the above must heed the (repeated) counsel from the elders...or they get stripped of the right to share on the ministry- however...this will not be revealed (announced) to the congregation.
wow.
Ok. . . don't have time to go through this entire thread.. . .
But has anyone mentioned that while someone wearing "tight pants" will no longer have the "privilege" of engaging in field service . . .
That even convicted pedophiles are not sanctioned in this way?

i made a medium level mistake at work today, and when i make mistakes it really shakes me up and takes me a long time to recover.

my mind keeps going back to the mistake reliving how i could have let it happen.
researchers in york used magnetic stimulation to target an area of the brain called the medial frontal cortex in a group of volunteers.
a control group received a sham treatment.. both groups were asked to think about death.
the group who experienced the magnetic energy reported 32.8% less belief in angels, god and heaven.. when faced with difficult challenges people often take refuge in ideology.
Maybe targeting another part of the brain could produce the opposite effect of increased belief in God. -SBF
I believe researchers have done this already, with some success. . .
However, I also recall a video of them trying it on Richard Dawkins -- and it didn't work!

i have published a new article at watchtower corporal punishment, as a response to the testimony that geoff jackson gave at the royal commission.

what is a cult and what is a religion?
its open to debate.
who has the authority to say for certain what is a cult and what is a religion?
The clincher for me (as far as JWs being a cult) is that you can't make a conscientious decision to leave without losing your friends, family, everything. You can't just walk away.
All the other stuff they do, the behavior control, information control etc. . . there are lots of groups that employ these tactics, and persons may or may not consider them cults.
