  Wow, thanks for posting that information about India. I knew things were bad over there but I had no idea what the stats were.

  Perspective is key.

  Yep, when I was reading your post, my girl has cooked a medium rare T Bone Steak and eggs for breakfast. I ate while on my computer and the maid was cleaning the downstairs bathrooms.

  I took a breath and stopped for a minute to reflect and feel grateful for what we (family) have.

  Only because I was born in a Country that was more developed and with more opportunities.

  India needs to do something to control their population. Too many people, not enough resources. I actually read somewhere that they are educating more women in India about birth control and more women are saying ----NO----to men and refraining from sex and pursuing education to better themselves.

  It's working for those women, they are pulling themselves out of poverty. This of course is changing the culture of "Family" but I think it's better to get yourself out of poverty and those awful Conditions in India than to pursue having a big family and being in poverty all your life.

  If people stopped having tons of kids, they would do better for themselves. That's my opinion.

  "Criminal Minds" quote

  i was just watching an old episode of criminal minds and there was this description of cults:.

  "cults commonly have their own language.

  they invent or redefine certain words only the cult members understand.

  What Will Happen If You Do NOT Get The Covid Vaccinations?

  by minimus in

  we are encouraged to all, if possible, get the vaccinations.

  if you don’t, we are told that we definitely could get the virus.

  fair enough.. but what happens if you decide you aren’t going to get the shots?

  I never got the vaccine and neither did any of my workers.

  All of us got Covid and were sick for a day or two at the most. By sick I mean we got the sniffles and a slight headache. Blood test confirmed it.
  

  The result---------------We got the antibodies from Covid----NATURALLY!
  

  As a side point my doctor said that the test for someone who had COVID-19, derived from community spread or close contact, is different than the test given to a vaccinated person who has not had COVID-19.

  I'm not sure if I understand this correctly, perhaps some here might know. My question; does that mean that if you got a vaccine and get a blood test, you won't show any antibodies???????

  Covid 19 True Infection Rate / Proof of Misinformation

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  this is interesting.. you've probably heard of "asymptomatic spread" which is, people who are infected with the virus and are spreading it, but who have no symptoms.. but is it accurate?

  is it supported by the statistics?.

  this video analyses the facts and concludes that we've been given misinformation due to faulty testing.

  Single Pretty Girls that are JWs, have so much potential, but sadly........

  by pistolpete in

  the pandemic has made the situation worse for single young jw girls.. i'm hearing tons of sad stories of single jw girls who are going, or have gone into deep depression.

  with many having thoughts of committing suicide and hoping for a better life in the new order.. the pandemic has made it almost impossible for young jw girls to find a suitable marriage mate.

  especially since the single jw boys-men want young, gorgeous, thin, virgins, who look like models and summit to the headship arrangement.

  They better have a plan and some phone numbers on speed dial. The congregations are ALREADY filled with needy people

  What Congregations???

  They haven't had a meeting in over a year. And from what I hear, it might be another year or two before they start having meetings at the local congregation,

  Imagine a Bethelite who is sent home. Told by the Governing Body to go where the need is great.

  BUT-----There's no more preaching door to door so what great need?????

  Where are the Bethelites going to go if they are sent home???
  

  -------They wish!!!!!!

  The Pandemic has made the situation WORSE FOR SINGLE YOUNG JW GIRLS.

  I'm hearing tons of sad stories of single Jw girls who are going, or have gone into deep depression. With many having thoughts of committing suicide and hoping for a better life in the New Order.

  This reddit post reminded me that all young girls in the WT organization are at the mercy of narcissistic jw boys who have been groomed by the Governing Body to view women as second rated pieces of property to be used for their advancement.

  Today I was told a story by my gorgeous (seriously, she’s really pretty), smart, single girlfriend.
  Well-meaning married couples in cities all over America (maybe Canada too?) are helping single sisters meet single Bethel boys virtually. It can’t be too obvious, of course. But there are virtual social nights, trivia nights, happy hours, movie nights, etc with a mix of married and single people.
  During one of these virtual events hosted by a married couple, my friend met a single Bethel guy. Side note: there were only 2 single guys at this virtual event. So it seems that the ratio of single guys to single girls at Witness events hasn’t improved much even though it’s on zoom. Sigh.
  This Bethel guy is in his late-30’s, attended an Ivy League, drinks expensive wine and has a high-profile job at headquarters. (let’s talk about his Ivy League education another time)
  After the virtual event, Bethel dude got my friend’s number from the host and started reaching out to her.
  My friend wasn’t physically attracted to this dude but she decided she shouldn’t be shallow and instead, try to keep an open mind. When he invited her to his public talk (PT) a few weeks later, she agreed. He had been invited to be a guest speaker and she had heard that she is a great speaker.
  So on the day of Bethel dude’s PT, she signs on to zoom. It’s not her hall so she introduces herself to this cong, etc. etc. Much to her horror, she begins to realize that she is not the only single sister that he has invited to watch him give his talk. He has invited, wait for it... TEN other single sisters from all over the country to watch him give his talk.
  Why do I think this is bad behavior? Your answer might depend on where you are on the scale of PIMO, PIMI, PIMP (the last one is my own; you’re “in” but you’re “p!ssed”).
  If I had heard this story five years ago, I would have barely batted an eye. I was totally used to single boys and especially single Bethelites boys treating women like a commodity, a way to establish status, maybe even clout. Let’s keep in mind in the JW world, Bethelites are our version of A-listers. To me, this Bethel dude used my gorgeous friend and 10 other single women to establish his status and clout to this random cong that he was visiting as a guest speaker. He needed to establish his status as an A-lister in this org. It’s A-Rod showing up at some sporting event with 11 hot supermodels, just because he can.
  Like most of you, I have so many stories. I’ve started a blog called: gettinghappyagain.com where I use writing (while laughing, crying, and everything in between) to begin my own recovery process. Since I get asked this a lot, I’ve also compiled a list of book recommendations that have helped me during various stages of PIMO, PIMI, PIMP.
  Anyone else have stories about Bethel Boys Behaving Badly? If there are any Bethel boys reading this, what do you think about my take? — too harsh, not harsh enough?

  What’s Your View On Self Defense?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if someone comes to you with a knife or a gun, would you defend yourself if you could?

  if someone tried to beat you up , would you physically engage, run away or just try to talk the person out of beating you up or robbing you?

  if you did have a gun to defend yourself would you shoot to kill or would you simply aim for the ankle to incapacitate the person?

  As former Jws for many of us, we need remember that Jehovah is not going to protect us from EVIL PEOPLE.
  

  Our life and the lives of our family is in Our Hand!
  

  IF YOU ARE NOT CAPABLE OF ABSOLUTE CRUELTY, THEN YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY A VICTIM TO ANYONE WHO IS.

  IF YOU ARE NOT CAPABLE OF TOTAL ABSOLUTE VIOLENCE, THEN YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY A VICTIM TO ANYONE WHO IS.

  THIS IS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN!
