When I went to Norway they were trying to sell me these enormous drinks packages and I thought I'll never spend that even if I have two glasses of wine a night with dinner. I noticed some people drink all day, a booze cruise as you say LV101.

leaving today for rome, and then a mediterranean cruise.

hopefully, when i get back, the wt will have declared bankruptcy.

Have an amazing time Biahi. Rome is beautiful and should be a good temperature now.

I love the med and I also went on my first cruise in April but it was to Norway. Have a wonderful adventure, that's what life's all about!

Islam is RIGHT about Women

by Simon in

apparently someone put this short message on posters and it's driving people mad because they don't know how they are supposed to react to it.. do you agree or disagree?

is it insulting women, islam, both or neither?.

it's a clever sign and really shows up the cognitive dissonance of the lefts identity politics.. https://johnmarksays.com/blog/2019/9/24/islam-is-right-about-women-the-best-meme-of-2019.

JW earworms

do you ever find yourself starting to hum a jw tune subconsciously?

several times while driving alone i started singing one of them, and then i get to an offensive lyric which jolts me 'awake', and i say something to myself like 'no!

if anybody heard they'd think i was a few bricks shy of a load 😆.

Xanthippe

Yes I do and I left thirty years ago! That's the power of high control cults. Songs are a very easy way to get ideas straight into the subconscious mind.

What! That allows them to charge £1475 for a funeral! No morals at all.

aah--yes youre kidding of course

Stan, I wasn't kidding I just had a memory lapse. I completely forgot my husband's funeral cost £3000 too. It's a ridiculous amount of money isn't it, complicated by writing in his will he wanted a non-religious service and a burial. So I had to hire a room in a hotel for the service.

I've written in my will my daughter can do whatever she wants when I die. Funerals can be such a burden can't they?

want to keep as short as possible, if any questions just ask.. just this weekend gone, i had two visitors (pimi single bros).they came round for a visit and a long chat.they had so many questions now that they have woken.

they are planning their fading(??

), one is an ministerial servant .

Brilliant Zing, you must really care about your friends to put in so much effort.

Activism does work we know because people who leave tell us it was because they looked at YouTube videos and websites including this one.

We don't all like the same people and we can choose who we watch or listen to online now because there are so many ex-jws out there doing great work.

Thanks for letting me know how much you're helping JWs see the truth.

Does Today’s Comedy Offend You?

by minimus in

jw
friends

there was a time we could laugh about mindless silly things.

someone using an ethnic accent, making fun of their own race, making fun of someone’s intelligent, etc.

we could laugh without feeling constantly offended , upset or disturbed.

Xanthippe

Nope I'm not offended. I don't recognise what you're describing either. I often watch Live at the Apollo on TV which is from a London theatre.

A Muslim man will make fun of Muslims and a gay woman will make fun of gay women. Comedians often make fun of their religious or ethnic background.

Unbelievable similarities: beautiful, empathetic interview with ex Mormon gal

by Diogenesister in

wonderfully warm interview from "stop the shunning" channel host beth, with ex mormon morgan ( ex morgan).. morgan describes her young life and the process of waking up or, in mormon parlance, her "shelf breaking".

there really are so many things we have in common, from young marriage to feeling personally responsible for saving everyone you have contact with that's not of your religion.

morgan also describes both her father, her husband and her own fear of losing family and loved ones at the same time as loosing her religion and difficulty we all have whilst pretending we still believe or being pimo.. highly recommended viewing.https://youtu.be/upxirjvtpec .

Thanks Diog I'll come back to it and have a look.
