Tiger Woods
by minimus inwhat do you think of him?
i know he’s a great golfer.
we know he just got into a major car accident (again).. i respect his golfing abilities but personally i’ve never cared for him and i think the press glorifies him sooo much.

I don't particularly care for him. The big question I have is what is his professional opinion on the COVID plandemic, and how does he think people should handle it. After all so many other "wise" entertainers have weighed in on it. LOL

JW Net and Politics
by snare&racket inthis site was and remains instrumental in assisting people that want to leave the jw's.. there has been political discussion here for some time now, a good couple of years and it makes me feel a little uneasy.
i just opened up the site for the first time in some weeks, of the 10 posts being discussed, 4 were by the same poster, about politics, promoting their right wing beliefs.. this has been the trend for some time now, the same name behind a peppering of posts stirring the right v left of politics.. i remain forever grateful to the site and it's founders simon & angharad, i appreciate that simon shares some of these these political beliefs.
it would be a shame to see the site evolve from a place for jw freedom of thought and escape, to political squabbling, that the world is frankly tired of right now.. just to clarify, politics is my hobby, whilst my friends read the football scores, i'm reading polling data.

Are parables literal or not?
by RULES & REGULATIONS in“bible illustrations [parables] have more than one aspect.
they … often have a prophetic meaning and application.
moreover, some had a prophetic meaning for the time when they were spoken or shortly thereafter, and some were to have, in addition, a fulfillment in the distant future.” (insight on the scriptures (1988), wtbts, vol 1, pp.

Here is a chart that may explain it better than I.Why is this parable taken literal when others are not? How do they explain this one?

Is there a renewed iemphasis on the "go bag" in the past mont or so?
by nonjwspouse inmy soon to be ex moved out over a year ago.
he left most of his things here ( i guess he thinks of my house as his personal storage unit).
one thing he left was his survival backpack, i assume his "go bag".

Just a thought, prompted by personal experience.
If possible find the bag, then send a certified letter with signature required and return verification (costly I know but worth it in the long run), give him a reasonable time frame to make arrangements pick it up (30 days is common) from a designated place at a designated time. Then when that time passes if it has not been removed it becomes yours to do with as you wish.
That was my lawyers advice many years ago in a similar situation. YMMV

I received a letter!
by frozen2018 ina letter from a jw arrived the other day.
nothing remarkable.
i wondered why i was sent the letter?
-

FedUpJW
Yes, pretty well being sent to random people. That is if driving around town, listing down the streets and addresses, then making a "territory" and sending letters to every address is random.
Of course no effort made to find out if the person associated with that address is living or not, or if they still reside there or have moved, or if they may have divorced and remarried.
What could go wrong with that kind or "organization"?
I would guess that a large majority of the letters get returned as undeliverable, and the rest just get put in file 13.

What's up with the demonic avatar?
by Repent inwhy does the j-w forums have a demonic avatar as starting avatar?

So if a "white" person tries to act less white, what are they supposed to act like?
And if they are acting less white are they then going to be accused of racial appropriation? The perpetually aggrieved, perpetually offended, perpetually complaining groups really do need to grow up, put on their big boy and girl pants, and quit acting like spoiled children.
