if your not worried about jw moral standards you may like to hear this verse, about the dangers posed by some makes of plastic chairs to manly men.. https://www.facebook.com/groups/818023414953244/permalink/1667787039976873/.
dont forget to turn the sound on!.
The notorious JW-apologist will take this poem as proof that women cannot be entrusted with the task of responsible chair design.
It's "The Terrifying But Tragically True Tale of Trevor's Trapped Testicle". Just an incident of bad luck. Nothing to invoke Christian values and morals about. In the end all is well, no lasting harm is done. So, rest assured:
Moderate clapping and expressions of joy permitted.
P.S.: Even a pair of Tight Pants would have served as a sensible precaution.
so much is said regarding men , in a negative way.
shaving commercials are now lecturing us as to how bad we really are.
men should be less masculine.
It's all about appreciating the difference between having a dick versus being a dick.
so....i’m going to rewind for a second.
one of my brother-in-laws came over one evening late in 2016, november i think, just to hang out.
we hadn’t seen him in a while and this is before we told anyone in his family we were out.
Thanks for sharing the good news. Everyone who leaves is a nail in the coffin of the WatchTower delusion factory.
recently bret weinstein and richard dawkins sat down for a debate.in the following video, weinstein talks about what can be done to address an error in dawkins'selfish gene theory in terms of the new atheism's error and regarding religion as a mind virus.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm8fksjljtm&t=1096s_____and a good follow up:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qr5yn2g4h54&t=904s.

Marked for later. - But I noticed the oxymoron in the title of the thread:
Evolutionary purpose -- WTF?
is there any word on what the results are for the 2018 service year report?.
I wouldn't say they are "hidden", they just don't make it easy to find.
Don't make it easy to find -- That's the definition of "to hide".
has anyone experienced that family members of the general flock and those of the elders were treated differently, unfairly, or just put on a pedestal just coz they were elders kids?
where i grew up ,elders kids used to steal from their dads wallet right in fron t of us , and say to us that " if you say anything no one will believe you, i am the elders son".this went on from bad to worse , he grew up a constant liar, wore earrings to college and questionable association and clothes, involved in all things worldly.
.i know this coz he had a worldy friend who lived next door to me.this neighbors house was his go to for a double standard life style.
Growing up as a JW and the son of an elder I often felt like living in a bubble in a bubble. As a JW kid there weren't a lot of other kids in my age group anyway, but if I wanted to hang out with someone not being from the "higher ranks" as it were, that was frowned upon, especially by my mother. I remember her saying, "they are just ordinary brothers", and I should make friends with other elder kids. I felt ashamed of her.
in a conversation i had with a jw at the door some time ago he mentioned that their were heaps of apostate websites dishing out false information about jehovah`s witnesses .. i mentioned to him that if they were ex jw`s , so they knew about the religion ,maybe they are trying to tell you something.?.
it just went over his head and that they all had an axe to grind.. anyway i was just wondering if anybody has done a count as to how many do exist in the whole world ?.
even approximate guess-timations ?.
I entered into the Google search line: ex JW sites
and it answered: About 43.500.000 results (0,44 seconds)
That's pretty impressive.:-)
several years ago unless i was dreaming i read a watchtower quotation that effectively said that they would execute us as disfellowshipped individuals if the law would allow.. was i dreaming?.
1952 or whenever - In JW time reckoning it's been just before the last corner.
Anyway, this appalling attitude of dehumanising people, even members of the own family, by disowning them and practically declaring them dead, simply for not subscribing anymore to every whim of 8 old farts in Warwick, has never been softened; on the contrary, the cruelty only has ever been notched up wreaking havoc on hundreds of thousands of peoples' lives.
there is a one page article in the current wt study mag, sept 2018 pg 22 with the title “do you know the time?”.
in that article it describes a number of different ways you can say the time is 1:30. it goes on to say “there are even places where that same time could be expressed as “half two,” meaning 30 minutes before two”.
what i would like to know is this, where in the world does “half 2” mean 1:30?
In the German language we have not only "half-two" ( halb zwei ), in some regions it is normal to say "quarter-two" ( viertel zwei ), meaning 1:15. Likewise "three-quarter-two" ( dreiviertel zwei ), meaning 1:45.
"can you serve where the need for kingdom publishers is greater?".

the message of jehovah’s kingdom by christ has already gained grand triumphs throughout the earth because he backs up and blesses the preaching of this “good news” by his witnesses in all the inhabited earth.
"" [...] until Armageddon, when his own triumphant act of vindication will cause all the earth’s atmosphere to be permeated with the sweet, life-giving odor of the knowledge of God for every praiser of Jehovah that then breathes."
WTF? Oh, you mean the stench, the sickly odour of decay, the foul reek of eight billion rotting corpses, as if filth unnameable were littering the entire surface of the earth? — Nice euphemism.
