  if she was Murdered going somewhere while she "should have been at the convention" they would say; "See! Going to the meetings/assemblies/conventions is a protection!"

  Maybe non JWs could say "See! If she wasnt going to the convention..."

  I hate it when it looks like a good video, then when i click play those two pop up on screen. Im sure they're lovely people but it takes ages for them to play the frigging video i came for and he just shouts at the camera for more than half of the screen time.

  The JW take on Black lives matter at the summer convention

  by purrpurr in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  another "gem" from the convention.

  there's a talk about remaining neutral.

  one of the topics they say jw's should avoid is the topic of "peoples lives matter" which is barely veiled code for black lives matter.

  Don't criticize political leaders?

  Wonder if the Russian JWs are neutral about Putin?

  If a hot Italian girl wrote me a letter offering "fun" there's no way I'd talk to my parents about it. Let alone an elder!

  As if this is a situation which someone would feel out of depth anyway.

  i was called an "ugly person" by a jw because of my book.

  this sister said that she doesn't mind me not being a jw but she hates me because i trashed jws in my book.

  i told her that i didn't trash it i just wrote what i have learned about the org in 15 years.

  Being called an ugly person by a 28yo virgin wouldn't upset me at all.

  Screwed up sexually

  i was thinking about how the borg screws up and sexually neuters their flock by telling them when single to "deaden their body" and then boom as soon as there's a ring on the finger to not be denying eachother.. do any of you know of jws who have been screwed up by these teachings?

  i know 2, 1 elder came back from honeymoon having a nervous breakdown unable to cope with the cd that sex produced in his head.

  and the other called up her parents while on honeymoon, crying and begging for themto come and get her, since she was so shocked that sex hurt.

  she was so slack i couldnt touch the sides

  That's known as "tardis fanny". Bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside. As is Dr.Who's police box. I've met this phenomenon twice before since leaving.

  Beards and Circumcision: turning their argument around

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one argument against beards i've heard multiple times, both from individual jws and from the platform is roughly:.

  'timothy got circumcised so as not to stumble others!

  shouldn't you be thankful you don't have to do that?

  Remember when Jesus had a shave before being put to death? Yes, apparently Jesus throughout the 1950s went beardless lest he stumble anyone.

  I hated that nudity alone was always stamped as pornography. My mum was that strict about it I wasn't even allowed to see Greek statues if they were nude. Same goes for paintings. This is in my teens mind you. Even when I was in my early 20s she'd change the TV station if there's a shampoo advert we're the woman is in the shower even though you don't see anything.

  Then next after marriage I'm supposed to see a naked woman and know what to do!

  Finally got round to watching this last night. I cant believe how accurate it is! It's clear that the director was once a member, all the terminology is there plus the creepiness of the way JWs act.

  I found myself laughing out loud a few times and rolling my eyes, especially when the mum finds out her daughter is pregnant and the first thing she says is "you have to start bringing him to meetings". The mum doesnt smile once for the whole duration of the film, she reminded me so much of my mum!
  

  I wonder what the actors/actresses think of the cult after appearing in this movie?

  Be Couragous! - (Like The Governing Body?)

  by pale.emperor in

  i was watching lloyd evans rebuttal to the saturday program of the be courageous convention.

  lloyd pointed out something that had occurred to me as well:.

  all this talk and examples of courage, whether it be standing up in class defending intelligent design, putting up with being imprisoned, not running away from bullies, always having a reply to someone who tries to ridicule your faith... the young ones are encourages - nay, commanded - to stand their ground and be courageous.

  So according to what has been posted in the OP, one can only be courageous if he faces a reporter, agrees to a false summons (Losch was correct in refusing to appear on behalf of “Watchtower” — the court should have done its homework an actually found out his actual role), or answer questions he doesn’t know the answer to?

  No, not at all. But it was a perfect opportunity for him to "be courageous" just like they're imploring young ones to do. If someone doesn't know the answers, all they have to do is say "i dont know". Running away from a simple question isn't my definition of "being courageous".
  

  Enlighten me, what exactly is Gerrit Losch's role?
