I can vouch for the general unpleasant nature of the former USSR. Those people are masters at sharing their misery and making sure you know it. Then they'll quote Pushkin and talk about the uniqueness of their national 'soul'. No thanks. Caucasians were alright though, and at least their cuisine is palatable.

Why didn't Jehovah destroy the polygamists just as he did the Sodomites?
by I_love_Jeff inaccording to jehovah's witnesses, both gays and polygamists are fornicators, why spear one and not the other?.
"in old age jacob admitted that his lifeincluding his domestic affairshad been distressing.
(genesis 47:9) doubtless, life had been distressing for leah and rachel as well.

That always bothered me. Why did Jehovah let King David off for committing adultery and then covering it up with murder when he put Judah's son to death because he refused to have children with his dead brother's widow? The answer lies in the fact that the Bible writers are presenting a one-sided view of history.

As Albert Speer noted, history is going to be very disappointed by Eva Braun. She was just a provincial tart. No one had any real lasting impressions of her other than she was Hitler's sometime female companion. Had she survived it would have been unlikely she ever would have been prosecuted for anything. She was just a nobody who had horrible taste in men.

Great Music
by Berengaria init appears that many of the best music threads have been purged.
i can't imagine the formula that would eliminate such wonderousness while preserving "involuntary muscular contractions", but so it is.. the first offering.

If the WTS hacked into a site, that would be a serious crime for such a huge entity. A useful organisation to form would be something along the lines of 'Jehovah's Legal Enforcement Services' of dedicated and professional ex-JW's committed to accurately interpreting the law into useful litigation.

Anonymous Donation - Not!
by why144000 inmy mother in law (in her 80's) just told me that she had the elders around to pick up her 'donation' pledge.
it was 'suggested that $20 a month was the average amount pledged but she could pledge more or less.
so, rather than an anonymous amount they have a signed document stating the amount of her pledge.

This new donation direction and true selfishness!
by stuckinarut2 inso we all know about this new donation arrangement.?.
every cong is supposed to send in all their savings to the society for them to allocate or use however they see fit worldwide.. but here is where true "selfishness" has become apparent!
(remember just this last weekend the wt study was all about not being "selfish" or self willed??!!).

Some people are just going to have to suffer in order to find out the truth about this organisation. I can think of no better way than the money scam that they are planning. People stuggling to make ends meet aren't going to be quite receptive to endless local needs talks about supporting the kingdom work. People who pull up in a new car aren't going to appreciate being called out for their 'excess' because the congregation isn't making their quota. They all need to know that the organisation has their eyes on their pocketbook. Jehovah needs money in addition to all the field service, meeting attendance, personal/family study and conventions. Oh and he needs money for those conventions too. And if a tree falls on top of the KH... You guys figure it out, the org has more important things to do.

They are going to charge members monthly fees now! Society Tyranny
by MysticMage inwell there you have it folks.
they have passed around pieces of paper for each publisher to write.
down how much they are willing to give the society every month for their entire lives!.

As a measure of protest, JWs should anonymously pledge high amounts to artificially inflate the number and just wait for the inevitable local needs talk.

Who is the biggest Loser JW you have known
by Clambake init seems every cong seems to have some guy who is 35 and never had a job or moved out of mom and dads basement.. i knew a guy who just hand out magazines at work so he would get eventually fired and could sleep in till noon everyday.
of course his elder father though he was a real matyr cause he kept losing jobs for jehovah.
i have an electrican friend who apprenticed some jw kid till he got his ticket and he quit him to pioneering.

My brother. He's hardly ever kept a job longer than a year, at which point he will quit to go pioneer with mother's express approval. Then he will drop out of that as soon as he knows he got away with it and will live the life of a JW socialite. What is sickening is that he lives in a region that is economically depressed and has quit jobs that literally thousands upon thousands would fight over. Why he even gets these jobs in the first place is beyond me. He has no secondary education, his experience is checkered, and his work ethic is extremely poor. Weeks after starting he inevitably goes on holiday for a week or two.

by jam inthe book of enoch taught women magic, the art of war.

Because it was unlikely to have been written by Enoch. It would have had to survive the ark, flood, and down through the patriarchs and the Egyptian enslavement.
