  i remember you weren’t supposed to picket or be involved in labour unrest.

  is this still the jw policy?.

  Yes you wouldn't want to be involved in a effort to bring fair wages and cooperative healthcare benefits to people , that would be a sin.

  Where are the JWs on cross dressers?

  by mickbobcat in

  2. beliefs

  so if a man lets say is heterosexual, married and happy but likes to in the privacy of his own home wear women's cloths and his wife is ok with it.

  i know a person could just shut their mouth and who would know but i am talking about jw who is very concerned about telling the truth to the dubbers.

  my guess is it would not be a dfing matter but they would not be a ms or elder.

  In reality if a guy went to meeting dressed as a woman he most likely would be told he couldn't or he would be seated at the back with someone posted right beside him deterring anyone to talk to him.

  And if you really want to draw attention by the elders, you could you attend a meeting in a cute little Santa Claus outfit

  It probably still is, labor unions were seen as being man's worldly governments .

  You could join a Union and not be Dfed but any personal union participation would get you into trouble.

  The unfolding crisis in Afghanistan is completely Joe Biden's fault, nobody else's

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. current

  so, there's been a lot of talk on social media, blaming trump for the current crisis that began at the weekend.. it's a load of bullsh!t from deluded people who are desperate to blame anyone but joe biden, the idiot they voted for or at least wanted to win last november.. there is only one person, just one person, to blame: joe biden.. he has the heavy burden of making tough presidential decisions.. and after this debacle, it's reasonable to ask if he's up to making such decisions..

  Here is an in depth recent article to how and when the withdraw of the US got started back in 2020, there are legal documents to look at as well.
  

  I think the election followed by the change of government and the Covid virus problem took focus away from the situation in Afghanistan

  Seems like the only organization that was well prepared in anticipation of the US pull out was the Taliban itself ???

  The background problem the US had is how much more cost $$$ and lives were they willing to make or in the US's best interests to act as a police force against the Taliban possible activity within the county ?

  The will to block out the Taliban was simply not there by many in the Afghan government officials with its created military heads.

  That preparedness was not implemented to a level which was needed and the ending result is what happened.

  Maybe the years there by the US will not be total loss, perhaps the Taliban has evolved toward not being such a brutal oppressive organization ?

  I guess we will find out in the months to come.

  2. beliefs

  was talking with a gal that is most likely going back to the religion after 20 or 30 years.

  we got into a discussion about having babies after "armageddon ".

  she was talking about being normal ( she is practically bedridden but only in her 50's.

  Why is there a large cat in this picture?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i wonder if anyone can explain this.

  ezekiel 34:25 says .

  and i will make a covenant of peace with them, and i will rid the land of vicious wild beasts, so that they may dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the forests.. the land is said to be rid of vicious wild beasts, so why does the watchtower picture in the new pure worship book show a large predatory cat on the tree in this picture?

  Afghanistan-Kabul falls to Taliban - U.S. Embassy staff evacuated by helicopter

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in a scene reminiscent of the fall of saigon, the usa embassy staff have been evacuated by helicopter.. for a third time in asia ( a fourth, if you count usa supported chiang kai shek's defeat in mainland china) usa supported forces have been defeated.

  more than 1 trillion dollars wasted and a huge deathtoll (both sides) afghanistan is back to where it started,.

  will the taliban behave differently this time ?
