  Douglas Murray in conversation with Jordan Peterson

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  i gotta say, i wasn't particularly impressed with peterson in his debates with sam harris - way too much waffling about 'the spirit of the logos' xd.

  but here is a nice, interesting discussion with douglas murray.. i think there's mutual respect between the two men.

  during the debate with harris in london, peterson reached across and adjusted murray's mic.

  I am so glad to see this thread. Much appreciated LoveUni!

  I have been deeply impressed and influenced by Jordan Peterson in my walk away from the JWs

  I think my soul was starved for deep intellectual thinking after dining so many years on what amounted to food from a table posing to be intellectual with very little content.

  I like knowing the "why" behind the "what". Jordan Peterson gave me things to look at as to why religion seems to be so important to people. What the archetypes are actually providing for people and why they sadly swallow so much dogma in order to fill those needs.

  He has helped me formulate my own detachment from religion as a whole, in a systematic thoughtful way.

  Perhaps for people needing to cross from the deep time they spent as a witness to a world where they can be detached and objective, he provides a bridge.

  I am not familiar with Rubin but I will be now, thank you.

  Do Jehovah’s Witnesses Bother You At All?

  by minimus in

  i faded from the religion and simply didn’t go back.

  once people understood that my family and i left, people in the congregation didn’t know what to do.

  should they call me, visit me, leave me alone?

  on tv.jw.org kenneth cook jr. discusses how important it is to be honest when applying for special assignemts.

  he mentions health and viewing pornography.

  those who viewed pornography during the last year should not apply.

  What would be really funny is if everyone would answer the pornography question with strict honesty.

  An immediate severe shortage in volunteers!

  Russia=King of the North, USA=King of the South? New info coming in from Annual Meeting 2018

  by Jules Saturn in

  2. beliefs

  it was announced in this year’s annual meeting that they believe that the king of the north is russia and the king of the south is us/britain.

  for me this is the first time hearing from the society actually identifying the identity of the king of the north.

  very interesting times!

  Lost in the fog
  and a free car, all expenses paid for, servicing and gasoline. And unlike regular elders who have to do different meeting parts every week, the CO. just has to learn one set of talks and regurgitate those over and over again for the whole circuit.
  "Nice Work if you can get it!"

  And dont forget the green handshake!

  Were You Close To Your Non JW Family?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  i was thinking of how little i know about my father’s side of the family.

  i recently inquired about ancestry.com and i’ve come to the realization that even the closest sides of my family via my father, are unknown to me .

  what a shame that jehovah’s witnesses kept us apart.

  How were God’s true worshipers to determine virginity of pagan girls?

  by Ireneus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in the genocidal instructions supposedly given by god we find this interesting command: “now kill all the boys.

  and kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.” (numbers 31:17, 18).

  in the midst of killing and plundering, how were the israelites to determine whether each girl “has slept with a man” or not?.

  Appreciate all the above comments.

  One other thought...

  in terms of ethnic cleansing, many tribes and cultures would keep alive "breedable" females to promote their own tribal well being by producing offspring.

  A woman who already had a child or who could possibly be pregnant with one, would be more trouble and more likely to raise that child with her own heritage in mind (see Moses). If the child was male he could grow up to be trouble. Why bother?

  A woman impregnated while young with a tribal child would be more cooperative, She would be less likely to buck the status quo and also less likely to run away.

  The save the virgins rule had a practical aspect from the point of warring tribes and domination of your enemies.

  I seem to remember a thread a few years back showing the Mormon version of Caleb and Sophia. Different names same game.

  Interesting to note that the Mormons had theirs first so guess who's the proud owner of the knock offs?
