Disgusting.
I am so glad I don't have to peddle that appalling bull$h!t to other people, who actually have their heads screwed on straight, anymore.
have anyone of you read, the absolutly jaw dropping paragraph in this article about a women who was hit by her husband?
its in page 25 of the 2/15/12 wt study edition (i read the dumbed down version).. .
if there was any question, that the watchtowers stance is for wives to simply take it when their husbands abuse them, this makes it crystal clear.. who the hell is scanning these things before they go to print?
Disgusting.

but i do so to be fair (may you all have peace!):.
if she were my daughter, and kris humphries said to her what he said to ms. kim, when she voiced her concerns (again) about not wanting to move to minnesota (which she did before getting married and he "pretended" to accept), i might tell her he's the wrong guy/man, too.
no, i don't believe in divorce "just because,"... and don't know that i would tell my daughter to divorce him (she made her bed, so to say), but.... what did he say?
I honestly don't understand the fascination with the Kardashians. Or Jersey Shore for that matter. Or the Duggars.
whatevs. Rich phoneys with more money than brains. Totally off my radar.
so we are looking after this stray we found called ''dog''.... she is ok seems to have settled down and made herself at home.
lol.
so this morning we jump in the car to take carrot to work and we put dog in the kitchen so she doesn't eat all my furniture.
I would find a recording of a dog barking, whining, etc. and add it to your iPod.
Then whenever you leave the house, set it to play very very loud, over and over and over and over and over.
She'll call to complain about your dog barking. The authorities who deal with such things will pay you a visit. You'll say "dog? what dog? we have no dog."
Eventually she will be sent to the looney bin.
i know there's plenty.. one that comes to mind is the blood doctrine.
whole blood is bad, blood fractions may be ok but not all.....wtf?

The ones that allow a child molester to have more rights and privileges within the congregation than the victims of said child molester.
come on.....................don't be shy......................and do not fear ridicule.. jdw .
I wonder if anyone is celebrating the anniversary of CT Russell's demise? I think I might wrap a bedsheet around myself and say it's a toga.
estimates range from 4 million to 15 million children die from starvation each year on this planet.
that's between 500 and 1700 children a day, depending on what numbers you accept.
still, no matter which numbers you use, doesn't this make you arrive at one of the following conclusions?.

on another thread i mentioned i met some jws at work within the past 2 months.
well, 2 of them became particularly interested and getting to know me (a lady and a guy) the lady is really nice, and the only reason i know she is a jw is because she mentioned something about no b-days or christmas and that was it... she has not tried to preach to me or anything.... .
on the other hand... this young guy, well he is making sure he becomes my friend, asked me to be my fb friend and messages me everyday at work or on fb... now the funny thing is he told me he is a jw and about 3 times already he had suggested i read my bible (whenever i post status about being bored or unable to concentrate on homework), well yesterday he sent me a message that said "i would like to talk to you tonite, maybe we can hit it up" my reaction was .

Of course you are. You've got two hands, which is a slight improvement over no girlfriend.
this is truly terrible.
i just love the statement "instead of eulogizing the deceased, use the material in this outline to give a fine witness concerning the truth.
" in other words, utterly disregard the deceased.
"The talk need not exceed 30 minutes."
This is the part that just chaps my ass, every single time I read it. To think that someone who may have spent their entire life in servitude to this damn cult isn't worth a paltry 30 minutes or so of everyone's time, with the majority of it devoted to a farging Infomercial for the cult, is utterly insensitive, positively exploitive, overtly crass, disgusting and completely ungrateful.

My children were never taught that Santa is real.
We talked about the original Saint Nikolas (who was real) and what he did, and how people loved him so much that they continued his generosity by giving gifts every year. We talk about garments that Saint Nikolas wore, and how it evolved into the Santa suit that is popular now. We talk about how the "Santa" at the store is playing pretend, and that the Magic Reindeer Food we put on the snow is playing pretend.
The presents are real, though.
did anyone happen to catch recent the fifth estate on cbc??.
episode called "scout's honour".
if you didn't know it was about scouts - it could be the wt's infamous secret list they were talking about.. you can watch the full episode on-line.
I couldn't watch it... the first few minutes turned my stomach, knowing what was coming. Maybe when I'm in a different frame of mind I'll be able to.
PS - moved the original untitled topic off the active list, as there is no topic merge function. cheers!
