  If You Criticize A Person of Color Are You A Racist?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  seriously, it’s getting to a point that you can’t make a negative comment about someone without being charged as a racist, homophobe or sexist!

  if you criticize a female, you are obviously sexist.

  if you criticize someone who happens to be gay, you must hate homosexuals.

  with all the scandals of the organization, it would .

  be sound and logical from a human or strategic viewpoint,.

  that they loosen the reins of control and be more honest with its members.

  translation:"inside the "destructive sect".

  antónio madaleno was a religious leader in jehovah's witnesses.

  on the eve of a demonstration of strength of the organization, which in the next three days promises to fill the estádio da luz in an international congress, this former leader characterizes it as "a group of high control" and tells us his personal drama to get rid of it.".

  Boy crowned prom queen by schoolmates

  2. current

  now i think i may have seen everything.. "boy crowned prom queen by schoolmates".

  i'm all for people being entitled to wear what they want and live as they please as long as they're not harming anyone but - a male prom queen?

  maybe there wasn't much competition in his school?.

  Why I lost my religion

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was a jw for over 50 years and recently just stopped cold turkey going to the meetings.

  years of sitting at the meetings with the boredom, the gloom and doom, repetition of doctrine, the gloom and doom, the fake love, the gloom and doom, the end being so close, do more - do more, just got to be too much for me to stomach.

  i stopped praying to god and no longer thank god for the food before i eat.

  For the struggling faders and control freaks

  by dubstepped in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i see people struggling with maintaining control over their reactions to their witness relatives and something struck me that i'd like to share.

  as a jw you're taught that you should have unlimited self-control.

  article after article, talk after talk, about controlling your impure thoughts, feelings, music, movies, speech, actions, literally everything a human could struggle with.
