  1/25 WT: Oral and Anal sex are a go - if she's ok with it

  by neat blue dog in

  he will not pressure her to engage in sexual acts that make her feel uncomfortable, that are demeaning, or that bother her conscience..... the bible does not provide details as to what sexual practices between a husband and a wife should be considered clean or unclean.

  a christian couple must make decisions that reflect their resolve to honor jehovah, to please each other, and to maintain a clean conscience.

  generally speaking, a couple would not discuss with others this intimate aspect of their marriage..

  Rumour 144,000 literal number teaching to be abandoned at Annual Meeting

  by slimboyfat in

  say it ain’t so!

  .

  in one sense it’s a no brainer because the figures just don’t add up any more.. in another (negative) sense it’s a no brainer because it’s been fundamental to jws since year dot and might undermine the whole thing?

  It wouldn't be very difficult to explain a literal maximum of 144,000 away, IMO.

  Jesus claimed he had a little flock, and every shepherd with only a little flock would know the exact number. (Jesus hand picked apostles and first century Christians?)

  Then he said he had "other sheep" and there would be one flock one shepherd. (Modern Christians who claim to be anointed?)

  Then there is a "great crowd" which no man is able to number. (Everyone else?

  I seem to remember that this follows what Russel and early 20th century Bible Students believed. Of course Boozerford couldn't stand being in Russell's shadow. Recall the flip flop about "superior authorities"? The WT could flip flop on the 144,000 just as easily. Every single number in Revelation is claimed to by figurative, except 144,00 which suddenly becomes literal.

  Listen obey and get vaxed

  by JohnR1975 in

  2. beliefs

  the truth is most active jws would probably agree that most of the teachings are not right, the new thing is that we just don’t know.. the governing body now say they get things wrong and make mistakes as they are not inspired and not infallible.

  yet they are still to be trusted no matter what?.

  they are not trusted.

  unfortunately she died of an aggressive cancer a few months ago,

  Oh, but remember that one poster here who said that was all pure coincidence and the chance it MIGHT have something to do with the clot shot was just "bullshit"? His word, not mine.

  NO SUPPORT FOR EXJWS DRAFTED IN UKRAINE

  by raymond frantz in

  https://youtu.be/ulan2hhagz8?si=jpedzunzb5o_6axd.

  here’s a cautionary tale for anyone counting on past ties with jehovah’s witnesses to dodge conscription: they’ll throw you under the bus faster than you can say “conscientious objector.” a man in ukraine learned this the hard way after refusing military service and hoping his old religious connections would save him.

  spoiler alert—they didn’t.

  suddenly you’re on the front lines instead of preaching on street corners.

  It would be a shame if some of is weapons bullets found t heir way to those rigid, judgemental "elders" who so love the flock that like Jesus illustration they would rejoice over finding one lost "sheep" over the 99 that were not lost.

  What if JWs voted in elections?

  by Las Malvinas son Argentinas in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  all this political banter is exhausting, so i want to ask a question that has probably been asked before, so here it goes….

  let’s try to keep this non-partisan - just give your opinion and why you think that way.. i’ll go first.

  i think jws would generally lean to the right, but not by a whole lot.

  While expressing the expected views on abortion and evolution, it has been my experience that when every JW that I have ever known over the decades lets the facade of neutrality slip has very strong left leanings especially when it comes to feeding at the public welfare trough expecting/demanding that someone else is responsible for their financial, emotional, and physical well being. Just my personal observation.

  apparently, the downsizing is still happening and from what i read those let go are over 50!.

  sad because these people expected to be lifers.

  now they have to make their way in the world at an advanced age with no education or desirable skill!..

  I assume that is what they are told as they are being dismissed . . . “Go in peace, keep warm and well fed,” but YOU do not give them the necessities for [their] body, of what benefit is it?"

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  perhaps we could post the pictures the wt have presented in their literature that depict their version of paradise here for comment/discussion:.

  from: spirits of the dead​—can they help you or harm you?

  do they really exist?.

  I cannot figure out why in the world Every. Damn. Picture. is of homes in the mountains? I hate being hemmed in. And spending forever wearing dress clothes is surely not MY idea of any kind of paradise. And would it not be difficult for any of those women to go swimming anywhere wearing dresses?

  What a bunch of brain dead robotic idiots coming up with these paradise pictures. Shit, just kill me now and get it over with!

  Are you glad you got the Covid Vaccine? Did it help?

  i didn’t get the covid vaccine, but i admit, i was scared as shit i made the wrong decision because there was so much confusion out there.

  practically all my family and most of my friends took the vaccine because everyone was depending on those in charge to speak the truth.

  now a lot of them are sick, and they can't figure out why.

  Saying that people suddenly developed late stage cancer after receiving the vaccine is most likely a pure coincidence.

  Yeah you are right. Of course it is pure coincidence when a guy steps out in front of a bus and gets flattened and dies. Just a coincidence that it was the bus that frigging ran him over, after all we all know that he would have died anyway. . .someday!
