.
this was taken in london yesterday by a twitter user still managing his fade so i can't be more specific than that.
disgusting.
I'm in agreement with Drearyweather.
A mere picture doesn't convey what proceeded that shot being taken.
How could that picture convey the fact that the group of Jehovah's Witnesses may have already given that person a hot cup of coffee and a bite to eat half an hour before the picture was taken?
How do we know the homeless person wasn't inebriated?
To translate that picture with a negative connotation against the people manning that stand is a terrible assumption.
hi everyone, this is my first time here and only in the last 2 weeks have my eyes been opened.
still trying to take in all this new info.
anyways here is my very condensed story:.
Hello Centaurus
Wow!
That's quite a (condensed) story. It almost hurt to read it.
So pleased you have found your way out & things are good for you now.
I'm sure there will be a few ups and downs along the way, as you come to terms with your eyes being opened, but it sounds like you are in a good place to get yourself straight.
Looking forward to hearing more of your story.
just want to introduce myself and let you know that this site is working and is a big help to lots of jws with doubts.
i've been lurking for about a year, the first couple of times i was frightened and literally shaking visiting an apostate site but it's the only place i can come to for sanity.
the religion has become a nut house.
Hello SuperGirl.
Delighted you made it this far.
I'm not here very often these days, but just to say that your story grabbed my attention and really warmed my cockles.
Thank you so much for sharing it here.
Wishing you all the best for a bright and happy future.
my quora campaign of answering all jw related questions truthfully with evidence is going well.
however, one jw had the audacity to claim that "jws do not shun".
they seem to want to present a fake, squeeky clean image to non-members and seem to get angry when answering questions regarding shunning.. like this asshole, dennis cybulski.
this letter was posted on the aust and nz facebook group this week.. it is self explanatory!
wow.... it seems to be their attempt at controlling the situation after the arc fallout.. .

Many thanks old boy.

I'm finding it too blurry to read as well.
Would somebody kindly transcribe it.
it's that time of year again when i can get back on the fields with the metal detector looking for ancient stuff.
the first field to be harvested was full of peas - ideal as it leaves no stubble and it's a two minute walk from my house.
it has given up two coins in two visits this week.. the first one is a cut-half silver penny from the reign of henry ii.
It''s hard to read threads like these and not hear the theme tune to Time Team.
I can only but imagine the excitement...
I used to get excited just watching that program. To do it for real must be such a rush.
abby has been in my congregation for about 2 years i think.
when she first came i thought she was very beautiful and i still do.
shes actually one of the most prettiest darkskins you will ever see.
Hello Kenny.
First of all, well done for being brave enough to seek out help on a difficult situation. 15 is not an easy age to cope with.
Right now the rejection you feel might hurt a lot but I promise you that in a few years time you will think back to now and laugh. Your young mind is having to take on the onslaught of the feelings of adulthood for the first time.
Secondly, don't take this girl's rejection personally. She is rejecting your age, not you.
To put things in perspective, she is 19 and you are 15. The equivalent circumstances would be an 8 year old girl getting the hots for you and asking you out. Not such an attractive thought is it...
The reason you would not be interested in an 8 year old would be due to her age, and nothing to do with her as a person.
It is the same for the girl you are interested in. 19 is a world apart from your age, and as has been mentioned, girls that age will be looking for men a few years older than she is, because girls mature quicker than boys.
Lastly, the best advice to get over your feelings for this girl is time. I'm sure she will continue to melt your heart every time you see her, but facing those feelings and learning to cope with them is going to help you deal with the next stages in your life. Now is a great time to start learning these coping skills.
What might help is looking for girls your own age. Just don't be in a rush. You have so much to learn about yourself right now, and you are still changing. The kind of girls you like at your age now might not be the kind of girls you will like in the future.
Feelings are tough to deal with. It's going to get harder too. Use this opportunity now to grow. You won't regret it.
Good luck.
i don’t get it.
who really cares?
in the usa, it’s such a huge newsworthy event.
If you don't get it, it's best not to watch it.
Leave it to those who enjoy the royal occasion.
It is quite perplexing why Americans seem to be so smitten with the royal family.
is this true?
is this really true?!.

So they make a huge deal of the harmless pursuit of inappropriate pillow positioning...
...yet they hardly mention the harm and the risk that some adult members pose to children if they fail to control their sexual urges.
Conspicuous by their absence are the videos made by the Watchtower that warn Jehovah's Witnesses of the dangers of inappropriate contact with children, something that causes real harm and suffering.
They certainly do gulp down the camel.
If they spent as much time dealing with the real issues of paedophilia (especially considering the harmful effects of the ridiculous two witness rule) as they do addressing the harmless habits of their younger members, the Watchtower would have a lot less to answer for.
