  A young JW kid brought how a Bruce Lee drawing from school that was given to him by a Loatian kid. That night the kid went to sleep and had bad dreams and said he woke up and couldn't move. He told his mother what had happened that night and she asked if took anything from anyone. He told her about the picture and she called the elders to co.e over.

  Instead of just throwing it away, she called the elders to come over for direction on what to do. They counseled her and the boy demonstrating the demons can use any medium to enter your home and attack you.

  They proceeded to take the drawing outside and burn it in a jar, run water in the jar and then pour the ashes into a sewer grate. Wrap the jar in a plastic bag, break it, and then throw it in the trash.

  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?

  I will shot to kill. Chest or head. If I have to fight hand to hand I am more than qualified and I will truly try to hurt and immobilize the fool

  Governor Cuomo, Mass Murderer?

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  what term would you use for a governor who enacts policies that directly cause the deaths of well over ten thousand and then covers up the death count for fear of prosecution?.

  i think "mass murderer" is the correct term.. he's far, far from the "messiah" figure the media have portrayed him to be over his handling of covid.. let the lawsuits commence.. https://nypost.com/2021/02/11/cuomo-aide-admits-they-hid-nursing-home-data-from-feds/.

  Whats funny is all these idiots talking about how this old wrinkled up loser was now a sex symbol because the way he handled to COVID SITUATION.

  Meanwhile this dude is basically the modern day Richard Speck.

  Are 'The Proud Boys' white supremacists?

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. current

  the name proud boys was brought up during the pre-election debate.. trump caught quite a bit of flack for refusing to condemn the group.. well, i just discovered a youtube vid examining a so-called racist incident between a proud boys member and antifa.. and the pb guy is married to a black woman and has a mixed-race daughter.. and, apparently, people of color can join and have joined the group.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hysfylmv1wi.

  are they really white supremacist?.

  2. bible

  seeing on another post here about former jws throwing away literature.

  i am curious as to the various opinions on there value.. for me i have been inactive for 3 years almost 4. i still have alot of books and of course all their bibles ever produced (except a few from the 1800s.).

  in my opinion i think there are four books the jws produced that are useful:.

  2. friends

  just going by the topic titles you've been using these last few weeks.. do you think you can survive a whole four years with someone that's not exactly your favorite candidate?.

  i know i'm in the minority from what i've been reading here, but i'm glad for the change!.

  well, we all can't be satisfied altogether can we?.

  Not going to lie, I am not happy about this at all. Basically my taxes are going to go through the mother... fucking... roof. I do very very well for myself and my assets are being accumulated for my children when I pass. I am disgusted that my tax dollars are going to be taking from my family and used to support some of the 11,000,000 illegal immigrants and DACA kids who have done nothing to deserve the wealth that I have worked so hard for.

  I currently employee nearly half a town, and I do not pay a shit ton of federal taxes because I employee alot of people and allow them to stop sucking at the teat of the government. Why should I be punished? Why should my children be punished and have the hard unearned wealth of their black father redistributed to people who broke the law coming here.

  Ultimately they will still be well off, my quality of life will still be as expected andwe will able to do the things we want, but now my money is going to criminals who should have stayed in their own countries and fought to improve them.

  I just cant wait to see the crying faces of middle class families and working class black women who voted this idiot in as their schools degrade with the influx of illegals, higher gas prices, Obumacare really only helping welfare recipients as the struggle to make money because Bidumb locks down the country again.

  The lower-middle class in this country seems to be packed full of dullards who would rather help others than help themselves.

  "Within months he was dressing sometimes as a female."

  This is what annoys me so bad. I remember in highschool kids got sent home for wearing shirts that had the Bart Simpson slogan, "Don't have a cow man".

  I can only imagine what would have happened if a guy wore a dress to school.

  Has Anyone Gotten Disfellowshipped Here and For What??

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  sex issues seem to be the number one reason but apostasy is right up there too.

  even if you weren’t disfellowshipped , do you know why some people you know were disfellowshipped?

  "also think there are fewer people confessing their ‘sins’"

  I was thinking the same thing. If they commit a sin and wait a few months and it is apparent they have Jayson blessing when they decide to pioneer they can continue on as if nothing happened.

  Disfellowhipped for not wearing facemask?

  by Anna Marina in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  yup - person has done nothing wrong.

  but they have called a judicial and from what i can tell refusing to wear a facemask is bothering them more than the person not turning up.. so is this new light?

  if you have been called to a judical please remember to stay safe and wear your personal protective equimpment.

  Jehovahs Witnesses have rules. Dumb rules but they have rules none the less.

  If the person doesn't want to follow them then they need to leave.

  If they won't leave then they will be put out.
