Yes, indeed. The best African-American U.S. President ever!!! Dare you disagree?

Well, since he's African-American, you better not disagree or else you're a racist. /s

jesus honestly identified himself as the messiah, even though his truthful admission could allow the sanhedrin to claim that he was a blasphemer and could lead to his execution.—matt.

will we be honest in situations where a slight omission or twist of words might bring us material gain?.

let's set aside our differences for the moment and appreciate this excellent documentary cedars put together that should prove to be an invaluable tool in helping to expose the child abuse issues in the organization.. i was humbled to be able to help with this project on such an important subject, though my part in it was insignificant..

What TV shows were forbidden in your JW household?

by Funchback in

in the u.s., three's company was not allowed.

it was explained to me that it was an immoral show because a man and women lived together and no one was married.

the sister who gave this observation was a family friend and we were newbies to the religion.. at least i somehow managed to watch the benny hill show undetected..

X-files, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Friends (original runs...once it was on reruns, though, it was allowed), NYPD Blue.

Do you still believe in God?

by FormerlySandL in

i never thought i would admit it, but i don't.

i might superstitiously have some kind of doubt but digging a bit deeper in my heart i really don't believe in god.

as a human i could never just sit and watch people be tortured, live years of abuse, suffer from illness and disabilities and all the other awful things people have to endure day after day without doing something about it.

cappytan

Isn't the Bible itself evidence of God intervening?

Come home Cardinal Pell (song)

by zound in

enjoy a catchy protest song imploring catholic cardinal george pell to return to australia to face the royal commission for years of covering up child abuse.

just as the royal commission began uncovering dirt, george pell got 'promoted' and moved from australia to the vatican.

now he is coincidently too 'unwell' to return to australia to face the commission.
