  Perhaps it is just me, I have seen that increasingly JW men are being emasculated by WT. I cannot imagine ANY real man standing by and watching his GF, his Wife, his daughter, his mother being physically and/or sexually assaulted, and then just stand there with a shit-eating grim on his face repeating the name Jehovah over and over like some kind of verbal charm, or dropping to his knees to pray as they are assaulted and perhaps killed.

  Don't JW's know that there are not only sins of commission, but sins of OMISSION? I always said that I would rather face judgement day knowing I had killed someone while protecting my family rather than hope to see them in some professed resurrection and face judgement for letting them die while doing nothing to stop it from happening.

  As far as the right now, Better to be judged by twelve than carried by six.

  ". . . a Colt 1911 laid on the bed side table. . ."

  That has been my "tool" of choice for several decades. Hollow-point PDA in the magazine, one round in the pipe, and with only a flip of the thumb the safety is off and "nails" are ready to be driven into "lumber", just in case a "barn raising" breaks out.

  Serious Question: Are You Hearing About Anyone With The Flu Anymore or A Cold?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for years everyone was told they had to get the flu shot.

  because the flu was dangerous and it could even kill you.

  now, hardly anyone talks about the flu or having a cold.

  If someone literally isolated themselves so that they had no contact with anyone potentially infected, it would be physically impossible to contract the virus, even if they weren’t vaccinated.

  How do you propose they breathe? Or are you saying they would have to have a completely self-contained air supply that was also isolated from any contamination from the air that surrounds the globe?

  Minimus is correct in his appraisal.

  Flu?? Cold?? What are those? Weren't those something ancient people had way back in the old days, a couple years ago? Back before COVID was discovered as the cure for the flu and the common cold.

  I guess the WT's own Awake magazine must be lying then: Quote edited to make the point.
  

  *** g 6/08 p. 11 When Is Self-Defense Justified? ***
  When You Are Threatened
  Pursuing peace does not guarantee that you will never face violent attack. If confronted by an armed robber, a wise person will not resist giving up his valuables. Surely, life is far more precious than belongings!
  On the other hand, what if a person’s life is threatened by an assailant?
  The Bible. . .indicates that a person may defend himself or his family if physically assaulted. He. . .even may strike a blow to stun or incapacitate him. The intention would be to neutralize the aggression or stop the attack. This being the case, if the aggressor was seriously harmed or killed in such a situation, his death would be accidental and not deliberate.

  No sane person would go seeking trouble, however IF it comes I for one will be goddamned if I just roll over and let serious harm or death come to myself or family members! WT be damned if they expect that!

  Why Is Nothing Being Done About Looters?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  looting is happening everywhere like never before.

  brazen thieves walk into stores and bring a bag with them and simply throw whatever they choose in the bag.

  popular chain stores have closed in certain neighborhoods because it’s just not worth it.

  Fedup Walmart sells guns .

  Some do. None sell handguns or semi-automatic firearms. And regardless of the wrong idea that some people cling to, it is not as easy as walking in, choosing the most scary looking firearm you see, plunking down a few dollars, and then walking out with your chosen weapon.

  The fact that in America they are readily available in supermarkets

  In the better part of seven decades in the U.S. I have never yet seen firearms readily available in supermarkets.

  My old JW cult hall permenantly closed.

  by mickbobcat in

  2. beliefs

  i was watching a video by smurf girl that said that her old halls where permanently closed.

  so i did a google lookup of my old hall and it said permanently closed.

  so is this that big that the cult is really shuttering all these halls for good?

  They have spammed up the reviews with a bunch of 5 star reviews from various JWs from all around.

  I did the same thing. Also noted that all the reviews, even for halls that have been closed and sold several years ago are made by the exact same four or five people. The same over-the-top gushing 5 star reviews of the congregations, most of them in only the last eleven or twelve months. And having visited all of them over the past decades when I was not FedUp I can safely say the reviews are lies!

  Well of course 'those people don't need food, they need the Watchtower!!!' After all a few sheets of paper are nourishing and will fill a starving person's belly.

  I live out of town, where one must drive to get to my place. If they are not invited or I do not know them they are trespassing.

  I believe the attached signs are pretty well explanatory.
