Are you a woman? Do you know one?

by dubstepped in

if you can answer yes to either question, you should consider listening to the latest episode of "shunned".

in it, brenda tells her story inside the flds cult, a story of women and what they go through.

this is happening right here in the united states.

Crazyguy asked, "Does anyone know or does the Bible state when the Jonah story supposedly happen?"

I'm not a "Bible scholar" but Wikipedia says, "Jonah is the name given in the Hebrew Bible to a prophet of Israel in about the 8th century BCE."

I think the WTB&TS teaches that Jonah lived last Thursday.

Watson observed, "Why does the boat's captain sound like an actor out of "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure"?"

Wait until you see NEXT YEAR'S video -- they're re-making "Cabin Boy" with a theocratic subtext!

Generally, I like fish, but this time I'll pass. I would like another Negroni, please.

so it would seem that the wts are going back to their old scare tactics again, going by this week’s watchtower study.. loyal baptized ones will be preserved when the present wicked world meets its end.

(mark 13:10; rev.

7:9, 10) this makes dedication and baptism very important.

Death is natural, part of the great cycle of life.

Baptism is proof of a mental aberration, just like the "Billion-year contract" of the Scientologists.

Reaction to baptism figures

by neat blue dog in

talking about tomorrow's wt study, that mentions over a quarter of a million baptized every year, a jw asked how many that is a day.

i got out my calculator and answered over 778 a day.

of course they were amazed at the growth, but immediatly i googled another statistic and read it aloud:.

or more than 32 are baptized in an hour on average.

Personally, I'd like to meet the 0.4166666666666667 person and hang out with them.

Grace Gough ( RIP ) left the JW cult in her 70s and went on to help 1000s to escape the cult

she helped me.

sent me my first copy of crisis of conscience (free) grace has been featured on many talk shows, including sally jesse raphael, raising awareness of support for cult abuse survivors.

I am proud to say that Grace Gough (Mouthy was her nick-name here) was a friend of mine. A gracious and kind woman who fought against cultic evil like a valkyrie! She will be remembered fondly.

I offer this challenge to those who thank Grace for her kindness to them: WHAT are YOU doing to "pay it forward"?

Be like the one who helped you.

I sometimes wonder what the world would be like if "Religion" had never reared it`s head.?

by smiddy3 in

can you imagine what the world of mankind would be like if their was never any concept of a god or religious beliefs ?.

for the love of me i can`t ,maybe i don`t have an imaginative mind equipped well enough to do so .. how about you guys ?

any takers ?.

Nathan Natas

Religion existed before human civilization. Homo sapiens is not the only species that is capable of fear and superstition, which are the mother and father of religion.

Dating “worldly” woman

by campaign of hate in

jw
friends

i feel like i’ve overcome a massive hurdle in my awakening, and that’s the issue of dating a non witness woman.. the org has always demonised dating “worldly” people so that we won’t be unevenly yoked.

heck, it’s just a date, marriage is a loooong way off!!.

going to an off the beaten track part of london to avoid bumping into anyone, nice 3 course meal and a little drink after :-).

Does your wife like her too?
