carrying on from audespare thread.
i was wondering how common it is for a sinner/apostate to be outed by a babbling jw care worker?
say you went to your dr because you were pregnant and unmarried or wanting counseling for having to live a double life as a pretend jw... and a jw secretary at the drs office saw this on your file and went tattling to the elders?.
The JW nurse was praised for putting KH purity ahead of her medical profession and confidentiality,
Not sure where you're based but if that happened in the U.K. and the NMC (the professional regulator for nurses and midwives) got to hear about it she would be removed from the register. And rightly so.
is this something they've asked them to do?
cart displays in front of their homes?
my mom is only in her mid 60s so i'm quite sure this is not an issue of mental illness.. the only illness she's suffering from is boredom since she's refused to work for years now.
being brought up as a jehovah's witness means you are so used to the term that you rarely stop to think about it.. one thing i've noticed is that people unfamiliar with the religion will say "jehovah witness" (no 's) instead which i always found a bit grating.. but watching the us election, something struck me.
people are often referred to as "trump supporters", not "trump's supporters" and so on.
thinking about other things, people would say they were "united fan's", not "united's fans" and so on.. it seems weird that a group would refer to themselves as though it was someone else talking about them (in the 3rd person, if i have that right).. what do you think?

Bad grammar of any kind irritates me......especially in a potential partner and their literacy skills are worse than my kids.
My irony meter has just exploded ;)
naturally leads to the question of god.
why does man need god?
why does man create god?
For me I believe in God as cannot believe everything came about by chance,
Evolutionists don't believe everything came about by chance either.
Creation or chance aren't the only two options despite what the WTS would have you believe.

it’s just not reasonable.
sowhy should we believe that everything in the universe just happened to come about?”[/quote][quote]“imagine that someone told you that there was an explosion at a printing plant and that the ink spattered onto the walls and ceilings and formed the text of an unabridged dictionary.

Great isn't it. Ridiculous statements that a 1st year biology student would be shaking his head at.
i am amazed at how people will go to extreme stretches of logic to explain or justify the supposed actions of their god (lower case g intentional, no upper case deserved).
i have seen people with wonderful bullshit detectors in normal life, throw all of that ability away in order to retain their hope of a creator who cares for them.
i am agnostic, certainly not atheistic, since i think atheism is not provable.
Cofty beat me to it.
Atheism dosn't need to be proved. It can't be proved as it's a negative. The natural state is atheism, It's the existence of a deity that has to be proved
as i seem to remember, in april 2010 i bought one of the first ipads.
i saw the virtue of using it immediately.
it was wifi.
People seem to be getting quite worked up about this and I'm not sure why. They've just altered their opinion as the devices have become a lot more popular and attainable. Fair enough.
There's lots of things to rightfully criticise the WTS for, but this doesnt even register on the scale.
i have already posted how i outed to an elder.... the only results were that another elder mentioned to me: "i heard you have doubts about the truth will you meet with us and clear it up... i also had doubts... i fixed them i can help.
" laughing inwardly i said sure.. oh i'm going to slaughter this moron.
when he asks my doubts i will show him the chromosome #2 video with ken miller.
So let me get this straight, you're going to go after them with science and non WT approved history? Two things JWs don't believe in?
What he said. It's a complete waste of time.
250 million years ago a plume of molten basalt gushed up from the earth's core.
it erupted in an area now known as the siberian traps - back then it was part of the supercontinent pangaea.
a curtain of lava a mile high and hundreds of miles long lit up the sky.
Creationists have no theories in the scientific sense of the word. They have lies that they tell one another with absolutely no evidence at all. We are now on number 36 in this series and not one single fact has been offered in rebuttal.
Who needs facts and evidence when there's a dislike button. ;)
