21The sly tactics the elders are using to malign my name!
by stuckinarut2 ini have had it confirmed now, that since stopping attending over 18 months ago, the elders have set out to deliberately ruin my name and character .. they have been talking to every witness from the local area and saying things like "be careful of him, he has the ability to implant thoughts in your minds, and he only pretends to be kind and caring".
so, all i have to say to them is, "bravo!
if that is the method you want to employ, you have reached the very depths of bad behaviour!".

What is your opinion of the news media?
by minimus into me they have an agenda and they really don't care about professional journalism.
most are untrustworthy and that's a shame.

So, I'll fill you in: Sweden has big problems with immigration - illegal and legal - and with integration of immigrants into Swedish society, and with sexual crimes carried out by immigrants on ethnic Swedish women. The Swedish media have a policy of reporting crimes carried out by immigrants but they won't say the ethnicity and immigrant status of the criminals.
And it would be nice if you could back that up with some verifiable facts.

Why is it relevant - is a criminal not a criminal regardless of nationality?

by AndersonsInfo inhttps://www.revealnews.org/blog/jehovahs-witnesses-settle-lawsuit-alleging-coverup-of-child-sex-abuse/.
by trey bundy / february 17, 2017 .
the jehovah’s witnesses settled a lawsuit this week brought by a pennsylvania woman who says the religion’s leaders covered up sexual abuse she suffered as a teenager.. the settlement came five days into a trial in which stephanie fessler, a former jehovah’s witness, claimed the religion’s parent corporation violated pennsylvania’s child abuse reporting laws by instructing local leaders – known as elders – not to report her allegations to police.. according to fessler, a middle-aged jehovah’s witness woman, terry monheim, began sexually abusing her when she was 14. at 15, fessler disclosed the abuse to her parents.

It's what Eden One stated, " If the plaintiff didn't have a case, the Watchtower wouldn't make a settlement. " End of story. Pretty simple. Some pontificators on the thread try to make it more complicated than it is in order to muddy the waters of who is responsible.
Perhaps. Perhaps not. They may come to a settlement for all sorts of reasons. And nobody was legally responsible - that's the whole point of a settlement.

Cooked food and the evolution of man.
by Crazyguy ini was watching a documentary on the development of man and they were indicating that the eating of high protein diet was helping man to grow a bigger brain and then went on to say that cooking the food was the breakthrough on how our brain became bigger then other animals that ate a lot of protein.
does this make any sense to you and what science if any shows cooked protein is better in any way over raw?

I remember reading/hearing somewhere that it's thought that one of the jumps in human development came when we started to cook our food. Apparently the cooking increases the calorific content which is thought to have increased brain power.
Edit - Doh - just read the thread title and the OP - lol

I have been away several days - and what is new to some of us is not to others.
Thanks. First time I've seen this. Missed the other 2 posts.
That's why when a thread is resurrected with another comment it handily goes back the top.
That way the reader can read all of the comments associated with the topic in one place. It's almost like it was designed that way .....

FFS. Can people not at least do a cursory search for a topic before posting the same thing over and over again? This is the third one.
It's the height of poor forum etiquette.
And it offends my OCD!

Many JWs, like religious people in general, can be selfish and rather arrogant and expect you to be the one to make all the changes and compromises. If you are not a JW then they may also be conflicted somewhat (not a good place to be) because they are not really keeping to the rules with what they are doing so may not really be serious that the relationship will ever go anywhere.
That.
If you go ahead with the relationship you will be the one that has to capitulate and compromise your beliefs to accommodate his. Bear in mind it's also a religion where women are subservient to men.
The fact that he has a relationship with a non-JW may indicate he's not strong in his faith and may be easily persuaded to leave but think very carefully before you go ahead.
