  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?

  Self defense is a skill that everyone should learn. As far as the use of a firearm...I am a CWP holder, I practice, practice, practice with every one of my firearms. I firmly believe in gun control, and that is why I hit what I aim at (Tip of the hat to pistolpete). As far as, "would you simply aim for the ankle to incapacitate the person??" No. Center mass, and shoot until the threat is neutralized. Also IMO everyone should learn and practice "situational awareness". There are way to many nitwits wandering around in a mental daze with no clue what is going on around them.

  I carry a firearm because a cop is too heavy. When seconds count, the police are only minutes away. Police do not prevent crime, they investigate after the fact. Better to be judged by twelve, then carried by six.

  DPA Blood ASAP

  by manicmama in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am in need of the current copy of the newest dpa blood card as some of the jw's in my mothers congregation are asking about if she signed the latest copy after she passed today.

  i am curious as to why they are asking about this specifically and not offering condolences on the loss of my mother.

  there has been some shady interactions leading to my mother requesting me to talk to certain elders to request that certain people not interact with her further.

  What's next? "Did she leave the Org any money?"

  My personal experience after the deaths of each of my parents was THAT was the first question out of their pie-holes! The second was, "Are you the executor? Can we help make sure that anything going to WT gets there?"

  Over population

  so i see some very counter intuitive videos on how there is no over population issue.

  that the world will grow to about 11 billion and stop.

  well that would be the first time in human history that population just stopped.

  Imagine the earth with only ONE BILLION HUMANS.

  JW's imagine an earth with only a little over 8,000,000.

  The choice of being alone has never been clearer.

  something i've noticed is that marriage was the thing for those born before 2010. but today's culture of divorce laws slanted to favor women has forced men to think carefully before signing the marriage certificate.

  most of my friends have no intentions of getting married.

  all of them have gotten vasectomies, so there is no chance of being blamed for a pregnancy.

  If I began to think I needed to be married, I would find a woman and give her my house, sign over my bank account and stock portfolio to her, buy her a couple cars and then ask some thug to beat the living Hell out of me, and I am pretty sure that would cure the desire.

  TBH I think prostitution should be legal. At least even a high end escort will always be less costly than getting married.

  Now let the thumb down votes commence.

  Do You Think White People Are Being Discriminated Against?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some call it reverse discrimination.

  whatever you want to refer to as, in your opinion, are white people being unfairly picked on?

  it seems acceptable that if you are white you are viewed with disdain.

  I am a Caucasian of European descent. I am proud of my ancestry, and anyone who tries to make me apologize for that can kiss the part of my anatomy where I defecate from!

  It has only been the "woke" crowd and their constant whining about RAY-ZISM over the past couple years or so that has created in me a feeling of intense automatic dislike for anyone of a different DNA. I used to believe the best of people unless they proved me wrong, now I lean toward believing the worst of people, unless the prove me wrong.

  watchtower's exemplarily obedient woman, Abigail, Mary and Jesus.

  by waton in

  2. bible

  for lurkers, this past week's wt study.

  women, obedient to headship.

  wt message to wt ladies: do like abigail, ignore your husband's initiative, who might have had his own strategy to rid the country of the marauding outlaws for good, and instead kowtow to "the anointed" aka us, the gb and elders.

  I thought that there are plenty of "Abigails" in the JW congregations. Just read how she spoke about her husband: Please, do not let my lord set his heart upon this good-for-nothing man Naʹbal, for, as his name is, so is he. Naʹbal is his name, and senselessness is with him.

  I hear more JW women that talk about their husbands with the same kind of derogatory speech when their husbands are not present.

  And of course David, that fine upstanding example for JW men today, true to form took Abigail as his wife because she was beautiful in form. Reminds me of some JW men who are now elders who have divorced their first wife in order to take the "she is a size 1" petite, wealthy, little blonde second wife.

  This entire WT article was truly puke worthy, IMO!

  Jehovah's Witnesses? Think? Two phrases that definitely DO NOT belong in the same sentence!

  I honestly struggle to understand why some people think he's so great.

  Because they are stupid. Hope that helps explain why.

  Just some a-hole that votes everything down because it makes them feel "special" or somehow superior to others.

  I would absolutely love to see how the diehard old-timers who were largely responsible for my coming in would react to what the religion is now.

  Ive mentioned, probably too many times here, what my mother said in her final lucid months about Da Troof.

  She emphatically stated, "If Jehovah's Witnesses were when I got baptized, what they are today, I NEVER would have become one!"

  And in his final months before dying, ignored by the entire congregation he once did his best to genuinely shepherd as an elder, my father said, "Today's Jehovah's Witness has "love" on their lips, but not none in their hearts!"
