Over-protective parent?

by GrownMidget in

i was something like 20-21 and there was this young sister, maybe 16 who i happened to like back in the day ... uh oh ...we met in the summer convention because i made the first move while she was playing board games with her friend.

we kept in touch via skype and text messages because lived kinda far from each other.

eventually her mother heard of the stuff and said to her daughter that the chatting must stop.... well, when two people have a little crush on one another, it sure doesn't.

Despite what US law says, it's not valid worldwide therefore these arguments about law itself are ridiculous trying to oppose on everybody since not everybody lives there, you know. Even on moral grounds many seem to have their own inner moral code they go by (ahem, look at religion - all having their own) and oh my, if someone crosses this fine line; all hell breaks loose. But since we talk about law now, I'll say how things go here before I give this topic a final rest.

Here one police officer keeps his own blog and he is also actively pursuing bullies and other illegal activities on Facebook during office hours. He has written that from legal perspective 16 year old girl can have sex (yes sex, not just dating) with 50 year old man. Socially acceptable or not, it's still perfectly legal if nothing illegal is going on such as rape, using enticement tactics or others. There has also been discussions of lowering the 16 year limit to 15 here.

This topic has long ago went off the rails from what it was written. I leave the rest of your legal and personal level moral arguments for you to discuss between one another. In general, I recommend relaxing.

Raining before the Flood?

by GrownMidget in

i remember at my teen years when i was studying with a brother that he said to me that there was no rain before the flood.

instead there was this mist that you have.

never before or after this have i heard something like this.

GrownMidget

That's why there was so much water to come down in the flood, silly!!!!

Jehovah collected all the water in the tub and then kicked it over.

GrownMidget

My guess is the word "cum" in your original post. I made one long post that had word "motherfucker" in it and it had same rating.

See, even this post was rated.

NC-17 is adults only filter used within US film industry. Don't know why it's used in here though.

GrownMidget

I'm telling you, that one single time was the only time I ever heard such a thing and it was only for a brief moment discussion about the subject. After that I never heard it again anywhere, no publications, nobody talking about it and no mention of it at the meetings. Made me wonder that what's going on...

If you go outside at 6 am, you will most likely see it. Never before or after this have I heard something like this. Checking Google seems to show that some other groups also claim such a thing happening.

Is this official teaching by the Watchtower or where does it come from? If it is official, does it have any scientific or any other kind of proof behind it?

I agree. Without doing stupid shit many people would not grow. Me included.

About the color:
Despite that I like white suits, wearing one was nice rebellion towards witnesses because the basic socially acceptable colors were basic very dark colors, black, grey and lighter one like fart brown. After few years of wearing white suits, more people with them started to pop up in my area so I guess I broke the ice around here. People said that they were more regular in the capital area but I never went there for conventions so I wouldn't know.

Does the W.T have financial problems are are they just rebranding?

by The Rebel in

jw

it is evident that the w.t has recently re-branded itself, and has become fairly modern in its marketing techniques.

so the organisation is in that respect forward thinking, and the former way of doing things has past.. .

but this rebranding has been done by marketing experts, who maybe realise progress is progress, and that with modernisation many bethelites " even as free volunteers" are possibly no longer required.

GrownMidget

The only rebranding I've seen is during their movement to internet time. They scrapped the tower logo and chose the light-blue color and JW.org signs. There seem to be some big public booths during book conventions where they try to share their literature to visitors, so maybe that's the "rebranding" you mean.

Because white suits are cool.

Crazy things said by Higher Rank Witnesses

by GrownMidget in

it was the week when circuit overseer comes and my relatives wanted to offer the food.

i had got my school friend, a muslim girl, going into the meetings and she actually progressed and went to the field service, but never got baptized and one day she just disappeared.well anyway, this overseer comes for the free lunch and then when we are sitting in the table with his wife and my relatives, the muslim girl comes as the subject.

overseer throws out this absurd asshole joke that because their family doesn't like witnesses his father will come with a truck and drives it through the kingdom hall wall and then it explodes.

we shouldn't eat red smarties because they contain cochineal, which he said, was beetles blood.

Well, it has grain of truth in what he said. Jellybeans (don't know about smarties though) have bug related excretion but it's not blood, it's bug feces.

I have another, but it's not really high ranked witness but since I'm writing already I might as well say it. My mom once asked an elder that if it is ok for a witness to eat "Blood Orange"! One another she asked was that if witness can do an abortion to a cat.
