unconfirmed reports this am (australian time) that tr has been transferred to a maximum security prison..

The problem is that uninformed people throw around the term "racists" or "fascists" at Trump style conservatives when the situation doesn't always call for it and it ends up muddying the water for other situations where those labels are appropriate.

Being Pro-American does not get you labeled a racist or a fascist in my book. Openly advocating for genocide, ethnic cleansing, and the subjugation of anyone who isn't white, unfortunately, will get you labeled with the dreaded "racist" or "fascist" because it fits the actual definition.

Not Being Invited To Gatherings.

have you ever found out that your "buddies" from the kingdom hall went out to have fun and did not invite you?

if so how did you feel?.

There's no way to sugar coat it, it sucks. Nothing hurts more than feeling like you are left out. Especially by people that you consider a "friend" or "buddy." I experienced this heavily during my early teens when I was still "in" because my family was considered bad association due to my brother getting into some legal trouble. My so called "buddies" in the hall stopped talking to me and ceased to invite me to gatherings. All because of something that was beyond my control. It was at that point that I realized that it wasn't really a friendship. It was all conditional.

This was honestly the biggest eye opener of my life and the catalyst for me leaving the organization right before I was about to get baptized. And thank goodness for that!

Our very own pale.emperor on the "shunned" podcast.......

by dubstepped in

well, i offered in one of his threads to have him on the show and posters seemed excited at the possibility and we got it done so now you can hear from the man himself on the newest episode of "shunned".

one of our very own stepped up to tell his story, well, aside from myself of course.

it was great getting to actually speak with him.. this is my first international interview for the podcast.

Thoroughly enjoyed the interview. Thanks to both of you! Will definitely be listening to further podcasts. Pale, do you happen to have any of your stand-ups recorded? I too am a fan of the dry humor lol

Watched about 20 minutes of it while on lunch. I have to admit, the production value is impressive. I like what I see so far!

manhattan court throws out the case citing that since its not religious discrimination, it’s the bar’s right.. what so you think about this?

I agree with the notion that if you are going to enforce rules for one group, apply it consistently across the board. It prevents issues like this from arising and causing unnecessary partisan bickering.

Saudi Arabia closes down a female gym because ...

by LoveUniHateExams in

... a woman has been filmed in the gym wearing gym clothes.

at least, according to the daily mail.. the deeply conservative (that's polite speak for 'religious and demented') kingdom has apparently closed the gym down and threatened to prosecute the person who filmed the gorgeous young woman in lycra.. although i believe that female gym users can wear gym gear in any gym, what's especially ludicrous is: she was filmed in a female gym!.

i don't know what to say, i'm genuinely lost for words .... she's got a nice arse.. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5650699/saudi-officials-close-gym-woman-filmed-wearing-lycra.html.

Nice arse indeed. This is how the GB would run things if they were able to get away with it

You Know You're Starting To Wake Up When...

you start listening to music deemed "unsuitable for christians".

you pretend to knock on the doors.

you explain a jw teaching to someone and realize how ridiculous it sounds.

....When you start praying for the "brother" giving the final prayer at the last day of the District Assembly to hurry the help!

When you finally throw away that stockpile of old Watchtowers you couldn't place over the years. Yes, we all had a closet full of mags!

Upon reading this quote, I instantly had a flashback to this hallway closet that I had in the house I grew up in that had all the Watchtowers, Awakes, and various other JW books. I swear those magazines always had this very distinctive smell to them. Does anyone else remember that?

Anyways, here are mine:

...When you start noticing that the answer to every f**king question or problem is "study more" or "pray more"

... When the treatment of disfellowshipped folks starts to bother you
