a man took to facebook to share his experience at a general hospital in lagos state, and its bound to leave you speechless.. in the post that he shared on social media, the man revealed how he got to the point of beating up a man whose wife had just died.. http://www.pulse.ng/gist/metro/pregnant-woman-unborn-child-die-over-jehovahs-witness-belief-id8007373.html?utm_content=bufferbe61d&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer.
Or 8. That should put any bethelite or JW in the position of FDS publicly, then keep the real power so far from public that the guys can play their mind games without anyone even imagining who is really running the show. Like the disembodied powers(computer) that be in "Logan's Run" remember the movie about the utopia that was really a dystopian nightmare? That's not unlike what the borg is.
Remember how the movie ended? I live in hope!
child sexual abuse within the jehovah's witnesses' community was on the agenda of a meeting by dutch representatives.
this is an editing of that meeting (only the relevant parts on jw) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7r_8blcw7q.
The official at the end called it a debate. The culture of the Netherlands seems very civil and focused on the issue at hand. can you imagine such a conversation the us? Theyd be blaming the Clinton or Bush administration for something unrelated 5 Minutes into it.
i came to see if any of the old faces are here, thank you so much, you've helped me through so much.
so many of you are responsible for helping me to learn to be kind.
i love you guys, stay strong stay kind.
I remember you! Welcome
i was wondering what is the most interesting or the strangest fact you've found out since leaving the jws about:.
the bible.
god .
God is under the impression that virginity can be proven or disproven by tokens of virginity (blood in sheets). God directed women to be stoned if they didn’t have token. God is evidently an ignorant stone aged man.
heard much lately, about the fukushima nuclear disaster in japan?.
that is until earlier today when i found this article from last year, with dr. helen caldicott discussing the chernobyl disaster and fukushima.
she believes fukushima is uncontrollable and there is absolutely nothing anyone can do about it.. read the article: .
Arrrggh. 3 minutes of that scared me out of 5 years growth.
my boyfriend, who is a disfellowshipped jehova's witness, asks me to study the bible for 3 months or he won't marry me (i'm a muslim woman).
he loves me and really wants to marry me but he is doing a passive blackmailing: if i don't study for 3 months, 1 time per week, in my home country, and without him, there will be no marriage... as a muslim, i believe the bible is god's word so i look at the bible from time to time and would be happy to study with him.
but the fact that he is kind of saying "study the bible or bye bye no marriage" is really hurtful.
This guy is not a good match for you or likely anyone right now. He is manipulating and mean. Your family might well accept your choice of husband-but his will not accept you if you show interest and then reject their faith.
Do you have family? With a good education, I encourage you to stay in a community that you are familiar with. You will get more respect in a respectable Muslim family that JW family. JWs would discourage your children from education.
Where are you from?
my material on the history of judaeo-christian salvations became unwieldy, so i divided it into 3 parts.. i have completely rewritten part 1, dealing with the israelites and judahites.
http://www.jwstudies.com/revolutions_part_1__israelite_judahite_salvations.pdf .
the url links to parts 2 and 3 are provided on its page 3.. i provide the complete bibliography at the end of part 3.. doug.
The invocation of a famous defence lawyer is interesting, as we know that defence lawyers are not there to provide evidence of truth, but they are there to discredit any facts brought by the prosecution. The LACK of evidence is what both sides face in this debate, 2000+ years after the putative facts happened, or didn't happen.
i have an uneasy feeling inside that something is coming this year or the next.
perhaps a new big announcement that turns jwdom on it's head.. we've seen the statement in the watchtower november 15th, 2013 which said:.
watchtower november 15th, 2013 - page 20, paragraph 17.. .
The last generation really invested in 1914 is aging fast. The 70 year olds remembered it viscerally since they went through it as adults. Their children remember it in a less specific (but often vivid way from childhood). Their younger siblings and children have nothing to "get over" and aren't invested in it at all.
curious what the canadian take is on all this .
i also understand he compared islamic state terrorists to greek, vietnamese & italian migrants?
that one i haven't confirmed yet but sounds wacky if true.
I am not sure the degree of terrorism going on in Canada that's ISIS or even vaguely Muslim related. Canada seems pretty open, generally.
Shoot of asking people if they are ISIS or extremist (and I think an infiltrator would lie, anyway) how does one prevent criminals from entering the country when refugees by the nature of their experience often have no or few papers? We let a Catholic doctor in and he molested hundreds of girls. So religion isn't a great litmus test of good character as we all know in this forum.
OTOH, letting known ISIS supporters in would be kind of nuts. Even disenchanted ones still had a mindset that allowed them to believe they could support it. If they are citizens, then I'd think supporting such a group as ISIS would result in prison and a lot of counseling before they could be allowed out.
i know that some here detested him while others may have simply accepted the reality of who is president.. do you think he is better than you might have thought as a president?.
Seriously? You have interesting theories about what happens with racism and sexism.
Does something being systemic make it not problematic or does it make sexists and racists a problem to be dealt with or should everyone shut up and accept their place?
