Service meeting topic: Masturbation
by perfect1 inone of my strangest memories of going to the kh was when a young- maybe 18-20, pimply young man got up to talk about jhvhs view of masturbation during a service meeting.. of course, it was impossible to think about him not masturbating.
i was just hitting puberty and found the whole thing very uncomfortable- i think my dad was even critiquing him (what is that called when elder gives the feedback).
looking back now i can see that to publicly condemn masturbation, especially when a young man is delivering this admonition, is- well- hilarious.

I think that there might be something about having to get the husbands permission before discussing spiritual things.
Not sure, but I think that I have heard something about this before.

I agree, why head the ball and do damage to your brain when you can go to the meeting and beat your head against the wall when you get home.

Candace Conti's Sur-Reply is Very Effective
by DNCall inat oral argument on august 13th, the court requested additional briefing from candace regarding the punitive damages being contested by watchtower.
from the case law cited in the brief it is demonstrated that the award of punitive damages is on solid legal ground.
although the court had until august 25 to render its decision as to whether the present judgment will be altered and watchtower granted a new trial, the court docket indicates that the court has entered an order already.

I think that I remember the interest being 10% per year. .1/ 365
So daily it would be .0002739726 ( if my math is correct)
So 28,000,000 would generate 7,671.23 dollars day, I could be wrong.

My foster brother's mother said the house she was living in was demonized. She said that she would be awakened from sleep by an invisible demon trying to have sex with her and shouted out "JEHOVAH!" ,,, and it stopped.
Tell her that they were not invisable, she could not see them because she probably had a "bag on her head"

By What Authority?
by Orthodox1 inthe jws, catholics, mormons, and a handful of others say they are the "true church" or what jesus originally intended.
i know jws call themselves the "true christians".
by what authority - outside of the bible, since 41,000 denominations use the bible to back up their individual beliefs - can jws make this claim?

I can't find the part where it says to "Hold thine own Rice hostage until ye see fit to share it with those brethern that hath just finished sitting thru thy sermon" I think it is under the heading "Rice Christians" but cannot put my fingert on it.

The imperfect Jello mold
by rebel8 inhow could there even be such a thing as perfection?
i can't wrap my head around such a concept.. i remember as a kid the dubs trying to explain their original sin doctrine as follows with one of their inane "illustrations":.
adam/eve born perfect in every way.

"Even so-called "perfect" DNA would still be degraded by natural radiation."
And they will say, Jah would have kept it clean while they were in good standing, OR when the water "can o pee" fell the radiation increaed, before that they would have been safe.
They always have a out, even if it does not make sense.
