I don’t think Sanders should have been asked to leave.
without any false equivalencies that change nothing about that situation, that wasn’t cool.

Does anyone know of this guy, or agree with his statements on racial differences in IQ?
by Sugar Shane inhere are some quotes by the guy, from his youtube channel.
his name is stefan molyneux, and he’s apparently popular among the alt-right crowd.
he’s also widely quoted on these discussion boards, by certain ex-jws, who use him to help promote their political views.

Those of us who gave love and devotion to that ill conceived organization may still have bad judgment about whom we get on the bandwagon with.
There are bigots among us. We accept the leadership of bigots so why is anyone surprised? How many of us dropped all their stupid biases and prejudices instantly? How many of us are still a work in progress? A lost cause?

Has Your JW Background Benefited You In Any Way?

Nope. Not at all. Unless having a great JW/B.S. radar counts. My non JW parent was pretty sensible though, So I can attribute it to good raisin'.

What are the JWs saying about Trump?
by Wild_Thing inas much as jws say they are neutral, they can't help but discuss politics and label them as either bad or good and somehow connect it back to their dogma.
i remember hearing them discuss it all the time when i was a jw.
i can't help but wonder what the r&f are saying about trump and the many, many controversial events surrounding him.

Why isn't there a "lol" button next to the like and dislike? Some comments don't get as much a +/- response for me, but rather an involuntary chortle due to pure ridiculousness.

Should it be considered sexual harassment?
by Addison0998 inon thing that really makes me angry and disgusted is when i think of the way in the past that the elders pressured me over and over again to have a meeting with them over a petty make out and petting incident.
they asked such instrusive, personal questions like, “did he touch your breast, for how long?
under or over your clothes?” i know that this happens to thousands of people, especially young women, and it’s just not right, it makes me so angry that i almost feel tempted to confront the elder who especially did this, when i see him at the convention in a few weeks and tell him what a sick person he is and how much trauma he caused me, manipulating me and pressuring me to answer such instrusive questions while he sat there and took notes!!

I'd tell him that you hope that the organization has adjusted its policies and have stopped asking (young) people such obtrusive, invasive, inappropriate and potentially litigious questions (where is ok for 3 grown men to ask a young person (or a woman of any age, really) sexually intimate questions? ) Grooming, anyone?
Scare the shit out of him!

Shouldn’t the person who was offended be confronted by the Jw and forgiven if repentant?

Fox Has a 3 Part Series on Hasidic Jews
by minimus inyesterday they started a three part series on hasidic jews living mostly in brooklyn and new jersey and how they take advantage of the system and at the same time rule with an iron hand for bidding the use of modern technology, smart phones, tv etc .
if you think the witnesses are bad, take a look at them.
they ostracize you and kick your children out of their schools and treat you as nonexistent !

I’ve only seen Hasidic people in nyc though I know Orthodox Jews all over. Once went to a convention in nyc or nearby where the assembly was smack dab in the middle of a Hasidic neighborhood. I remember worrying that I was being taken to some JW next level compound (I wasn’t associating of my own desire) That I feared Jonestown then was my wake up call. No family was worth living with that kind of uneasiness.

Why Do People Oppose Jehovah's Witnesses?
by BlackSpirit injesus christ, the son of the most high god, jehovah has this to say: "if the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
if you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own.
now because you are no part of the world, but i have chosen you out of the world, for this reason the world hates you.

Black Spirit,
Your religion actively taught me that loving God was proven by distributing their literature and asking for a donation. That was pure worship. When family members are in hospital, not one congregation member visits, but the blood liason committee shows up more reliably than an ambulance chaser.
This organization actively taught me (,in its prime growth time) that charity was a displacement of our Christian priorities and that there was welfare and food stamps - for our JW needy- while most food banks were in churches and Christian centers, where JWs were not supposed to go.
The WT has totally missed the pure spirit of what Jesus was preaching and it's a shame. If you put as much energy and money into actually benefiting your local communities, you could have amazing growth.
