  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.

  Apparently there is a new article from the GB about the dangers of online/app dating. Now they are encouraging single JWs to use Zoom break out session to find a potential partner. I think there must be a lot of fornicating -> disfellowship/reproving going on with people not having physical interactions (pressure) from the congregation.

  They are in damage control and trying to limit single JWs from being unevenly yoked with unbelievers. In the good old days, where do you go to meeting young spiritual(pretty) sisters? At the assemblies and conventions where you volunteer to help your fellow worshippers.

  Zoom just will not cut it and the pandemic is really showing the weak side of the GB policy. The chances of people falling off the wagon is greater once they are cut of from the constant indoctrination

  They received gift from a non JW family member. They started to feel the presence of demons and they seek help from elders. They threw the gift away but the demons still harrased them. They prayed and put on kingdom melodies and that helped chase the demons away

  What’s Your View On Self Defense?

  by minimus in

  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?

  If you can run, that will be the best option. Even if you have a gun and you shoot the assailant, taking another human life can also cause side effects like PTSD, similar to what happened to soldiers.

  If the idiot is trying to kill you, then, I would rather kill than be killed.

  There’s a pandemic by definition, but it’s hardly the life-ending plague it was predicted to be. It sucks that people die, but people die every year, especially from preventable diseases and no one is bitching about that last time I checked.

  There is definitely an element of propaganda and mis-information. You need to remember that any time a new disease raises its ugly face, there is always fear mongering and misinformation. When HIV-AIDS made the news, there was a lot of fear mongering as well. That said, saying that Corvid19 "it’s hardly the life-ending plague it was predicted to be" is a little disingenuous if you only take a single data point to make your point (death toll).
  

  A lot of experts were not sure about the full impact of Corvid19 in the beginning and what they could go by was data from previous pandemic that cost millions of lives. Thanks to modern medicine and new media (mass communication), most government were able to stem the flow of what could have been a more deadly outcome.

  The absolute insanity that religion breeds

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. current

  however good certain religious principles may or may not be, there seems to be complete insanity that only religion breeds.. a buddhist monk in thailand has apparently chopped off his own head to give himself 'good luck' in the afterlife.. .
