  the teacher allowed time for the rebellious student to try to show that his methods were better than those of the teacher.

  I thought this was a horse---t illustration. In real life the teacher would have the student removed from the classroom so the students who wanted to learn could. If the student continued disrupting the class after they were allowed to return they would be expelled from school. Of course it has been decades since I was in school so things probably have changed for the worse woke.

  Parents do not let their little children put their hands on top of a burning stove flame just to prove a point.

  Agreed. They also would not punish their grandchildren by putting their hands on the burning flame, then their great-grandchildren, and make sure that every successive generation had their hands burned just to prove that fire is hot!.

  Booster shots required for Bethelites and special full time servants?

  by PimoElder in

  it’s a shame the gov body did a big u turn on vaccines .

  if they continue with the rule that only fully vaxed can go back to the hall then i could have stayed on zoom.

  but the term fully vaxed is a moving target, if it’s been like six months since your last shot you are just the same as those of us who are unvaxed .

  But i CANNOT see any justification in some on here advising others NOT to get vaccinated.---JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP.

  I could say the same about "some on here advising others [TO] get vaccinated"- - - JUST SHUT THE F--K UP.

  See how that works?

  Now I watch as those who reluctantly got the jab get sicker and keep getting covid..

  From Penn Medicine: Messenger-RNA (mRNA) vaccines against the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 provoke a swift and strong response by the immune system's T cells

  From Yale News: When T cells are overworked, people can be more susceptible to diseases of an overactive immune response, such as lymphomas, leukemia, and autoimmune disorders.

  I personally know five previously very healthy JW's who obediently followed the governing body's order to get fully "vaccinated" and boosted who have come down with very aggressive cancers, and two others who have had controlled auto-immune disease flare up and become now nearly completely uncontollable in only a few months after receiving their jabs.

  I wonder who will incur blood-guilt for the JW's who are now living with a cancer death sentence as a result of the jab die?

  2022 Convention Sat. Afternoon part 1

  by Rattigan350 in

  i found it ironic that the symposium "put away peace wrecker inappropriate boasting".

  was presented by a helper to the publishing committee.

  and all of the other talks were given by, if not gb members, but by helpers to the various committees.

  Hayley was using social media to sell home made jewellery and maybe makeup products.

  And of course any JW woman should be a frumpy old hag that buys their "modest" dresses from the tent and awning store. Heaven forbid they were moderately attractive, in good shape, wore decent makeup and jewelry. The woman selling handmade items was also following the JW edict to pious sneer full-time which would suggest she did not have a full-time job with good wages. And on top of that she was taking care of a disabled elderly relative. The character Hayley was totally justified IMO for her understandable reaction to that big nosed busybody. I sure didn't see those self-righteous a-holes that were gossiping about her offering any help! I've known too many of that type JW over the years, and as far as I am concerned with them they can GFT!

  Resuming door to door September 1st

  by Mikejw in

  2. beliefs

  gb worried about not enough coming to in person meetings.

  what are they going to be like when they realise not only jdubs don’t want to go to in person meetings but they really don’t want to go back on the min.

  zoom has so much more appeal for rather than meetings or door to door.

  I can see some of the self-righteous elders pulling this stunt.

  I heard that the letter was read Sunday and last night again. I also had an elder who still is trying to get me back on the hamster wheel call me this morning to tell me the news, and inform me that Gee-HO'-Vuh is the one who had the governing body tell JW's this news, and that loyalty to God meant that faithful JW's must listen to the g.b.

  and how about movies, besides documentaries is there anything at all, any movie at all, any new actor at all that that has any real worth to watch and enjoy or is it all a boring waste of time.

  ”personal choices regarding vaccination and whether to attend in person should be respected”

  Translation: WE have made a personal choice that YOU should attend in person, and YOU should RESPECT OUR CHOICE and COMPLY!

  My feeling is FUGGEM!

  so did anyone else have the misfortune of listening to sanderson’s talk corresponding to the saturday morning convention program?.

  full title is “young people - choose a path that leads to peace!”.

  the basic idea is, hey you teenagers, you ought to be pioneers, wt construction workers, and/or bethelites.. i tried to put myself back in time an embarrassing number of decades…if i were in this talk’s target audience, how would i respond?.

  Also, how would you handle it if you are approached by other nervy JWs with an envelope looking for a handout because they know about this.

  I also am pretty blunt. I would use the line Sally Field used in the movie Smokey and The Bandit, "Do the letters F. O. mean anything to you?"

  I had the misfortune of hearing this too. I was going to start a thread about it titled, "The Beatings Continue". It will be a cold day in the mythical Hell before I ever set foot in a kingdumb hall again! And they can suck rocks if they think I would dress up to ever willingly sit in front of a computer screen for their drivel.
