  I dont understand why KH's are less attractive than churches

  i mean, come on.

  if they call themselves the "true", then why are most kingdom halls not as attractive as churches and dont do any better?.

  If not ornate, there was a time in the 50s and 60s that many of the Kingdom Halls built by the then-relatively autonomous congregations with their own funds were quite attractive and showed some individuality.. that's all been wrung out of the organization.

  Let's Talk Horror Movies

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  2. entertainment

  horror is easily my favourite genre of movie so i just thought i'd start a thread on it.. horror can be done badly and there are plenty of crap horror movies, no doubt about that.

  but horror can also be done very well, too - often on a low budget.. plus, there are quite a lot of subgenres - slasher, supernatural, monster movies, body horror, psychological horror, zombie, vampire, etc.. so, do you like horror?.

  what's your favourite subgenre?.

  What's happened is that Barr punted after examining Mueller's report.. he stopped short of exonerating him.. Trump's still gotta run the gauntlet of the SDNY,, a far sterner test for the old reprobate. What happened over the past weekend was the end of the beginning.

  Verfy impressive... The Atlantic is one of the nation's most highly respected magazines, in a league with The New Yorker and newsapers like the New York Times and Washington Post.

  It would appear that with this most recent confiscation the total taken from the JWs by Moscow amounts to more that $75 million. (ouch!): "According to the JW representative, the total value of JW properties that either have been confiscated or subject to confiscation is approximately $75,361,314."

  I believe it's been calculated by someone as more than 7,000 hours per one new baptism.

  Suicide Attempts

  by APieceOfShitNamedTate in

  does anyone know if the new elders' manual addresses attempted suicide?

  in the previous manual, it was seen as a potential judicial matter, which is absolutely ridiculous.

  have they changed it?

  So sorry that intervention pulled you away fro the brink, Dwaine. I glad you found a sympatehic ear from a reasonable, compassionate. elder. This more recent information is a half-step forward for the Jws, but the crux of their advice continues to be to simply wave the Bible and a couple of magazines at the depressed soul.

  Did you know most jehovah witnesses don’t even follow their own rules?

  (before you read anything i was born into this religion and am just counting down the days until i can leave) so i made one other post before because i signed up thinking that this was just a one time venting thing for me and everyone that replied on my last post was super helpful and i thank you if you’re reading this one but shit.

  i’ve never released this much emotion especially to strangers, not even with my own parents and with you guys i feel like i can say anything about how i feel and it’s all good because you all feel the same as i do.

  but anyway i just got into some shit with my mom and step dad.

  My sympathies, Walrus. Sadly, so many JW faimlies are as dysffinctional as yours seems to be, but are rather artful at covering it up when in public (at the KH, for example). As Giordano says, Tameria's advice is excellent. Get help from those professional counselors that are available to you at the school.
