Almost every one I ever knew as a JW when I was in the cult would give a pass to their own kids and cover for them while making others a scapegoat or pointing a finger at them. I saw an elder who went to bat against other elders who were DFing his daughter for having an orgy, not making it up, and they finally told him to back off or they would report him. Its do as we say not as we do.

Will God resurrect our beloved pets? What do you think?
by Pallbearer inthe watchtower doesn't hold out any hope for us ever seeing our beloved animals again.
i find it very difficult to believe that god -- a god of love -- would refuse to resurrect an animal that we had become so attached to.
over the years i have bonded with no less than four (4) dogs, all of which were/are like family to me.

This is a bit of a misleading thing. Most magazines are on this list because people actually order them. The JWs take them on mass and hand them out and most people toss them away thinking they will only take one to shut the dumb ass up. Or they are left in a door where they get tossed out with the lawn maintenance add. Dummbers will leave them at dentists and drs offices and the like. This is a joke of a stat. It may be the most printed but its not really the top magazine in reality.

Things we should not have said,
by Phizzy indo any of you remember things you should never have said to a fellow j.w ?.
two of mine come to mind, one was when we were out in field circus one day and my companion was complaining of knee pain, he explained, " it has a crack in it ", i replied " that explains why my bum hurts, that's got a crack in it", the other one was when a guy showed me a chef's knife he had bought for chopping, and i said " i always wanted a big chopper ".. you ?.

When I was 18yo we went out to dinner with the CO. It was at a Chinese buffet and I made the comment that I was going to have to be talked to about beastiality when I meant to say obesity. I caught it just after saying it and the CO said we will defiantly have to have a talk. I said I meant obesity.

I don't buy the OPs Pollyanna attitude. Its not a matter of if but when the next Spanish influenza that is deadly comes again. With the mobility of society it could mean many millions dead. This virus is contagious before it shows signs of one being infected. If this is not one that gets out of control, eventually one will pop up that will be.

The cult has never cared about people only about the preservation of the cult itself. The whole thing about religion is supposed to be about people and it rarely if ever is. Its about the church cult or the pastor like that skank fraud Olestein types.

What are the comments? Today racism means nothing because the left idiots have used it to silence anyone that is not in lock step with them. So someone could say Columbus was not a bad guy and did not kill thousands and you are a racist or that taking down a stature of Robert E. Less was wrong and could be called a racist and that is all BS its not racist. But if they call someone who is of a different race a name that is considered to be degrading that is a different story and would have to be judged by its content. Even for me saying general stereotypes of races is not always racist. Its been used so much buy the idiot left at every turn it really has no meaning any more.
