by LoveUniHateExams in

very interesting, if very sad, youtube video by a young woman who grew up in a jw household.. i wonder how many more jw kids grew up in similar circumstances to this poor young lady?.

That business of horny elders is way to common. Some follow through, a lot more just wish. Remember it is about appearances, not a actual morality

what prevents me from getting baptized?

by road to nowhere in

todays wt what a bunch of hooey.

try: nobody can explain the beliefs from the bible; there are lots of "rules" beyond tdhe ones on morals enforced(beards, movies),.

the "gifts in men" are in the least incompetent overworked well meaning; but others are overbearing power hungry bullies.

todays WT what a bunch of hooey. Try: nobody can explain the beliefs from the Bible; there are lots of "rules" beyond tdhe ones on morals enforced(beards, movies),. the "gifts in men" are in the least incompetent overworked well meaning; but others are overbearing power hungry bullies. Having a job that pays well enough to actually live is discouraged as is getting any education or planning for a future retirement.

There was no mention of really studying the bible, coming to a realization of what was needed; it was all bullying.

Watchtower hires off-duty law enforcement

by Diogenesister in

an indignant law enforcement officer wrote kim & mikey to let them know watchtower had placed an advertisement on a facebook page dedicated to law enforcement staff only, looking to hire a fully uniformed and armed officer at $35 per hour.

the commission was for the memorial in a specified texan venue.. the officer was particularly miffed at the hypocrisy considering the terrible way law enforcement was portrayed in the 2018 convention video, where the jws had been herded into a field to be slaughtered by a large group of officers.

not to mention the fact they are only too willing to call police for their own protection, yet won’t do so when it comes to protecting children from potential or actual abuse.. https://youtu.be/-rpcsztnvyo.

Armed!? I remember how the program chair bragged about how they asked the police to not carry, and they didn't. I bet every one of those flatfoots had his backup if not his service side arm.

this is the same religion that used to picket churches. They now put carts on public sidewalks. Maybe there should be 7 burly (bikers") just stand there in front of them.

Back when I was well able to ignore apostates without help. The brothers made more trouble stopping traffic, redirecting it, and causing confusion instead of just letting us exit and get to our motel.

If the meetings are so enjoyable and serving the big J is such a privilege...

by HiddenPimo in

why is it that all of the friends show happiness and excitement when a meeting is cancelled?.

no meetings week of memorial "what a blessing from jah!".

bad weather - oh it's so nice to have a night off.

Used to keep on comfortable clothing, go to the store (weather wasn't that bad if you didn't wear a suit), get a bottle of wine, and enjoy the evening. We still hope for it every time it snows or gets bad.

be ****** assemblies

by road to nowhere in

someone may have already noted this.

the current assemblies are be strong, be bold.

how about be fooled, be misled, be bullied.

Someone may have already noted this. The current assemblies are Be Strong, Be Bold. How about Be Fooled, Be Misled, Be Bullied. When I first thought about this my first one was Be Wildered; followed by Be Gone. There are enough to keep things going for the rest of our lives.

march broadcast about neutrality

by road to nowhere in

i notice they commented that "we" should not sympathise with protestors, like the protestors are always right.

sometimes i feel a protest would be a good place for a machine gun, because i do have feelings on different things.

despite their stated neitral stance, the wt is left leaning.

you got me. I should have thought things through a bit. WT is in favor redistribution of wealth, social works (not their money, but coerce others into donating), they jump on every hot topic as gospel. Take climate change; WT believes every bit of it, and be damned with the consequences of mitigation or realizing the larger way climate has always changed with or without man. As for the MG comment; some protestors are trying to take my rights by any means available and force others to comply. They are not having dialogue with anyone. I would deal harshly with them. I consider my self as middle

And isn't the "sea" they used to talk about in the Revelation books part of the protest movement?

And yes I do vote, but alas, often it is only figuring out which ones I dislike the most.

237,000 illegal migrants in the last 5 months... is it time to intervene?

by silentbuddha in

is it possible that anyone being truthful with themself can literally believe that there needs to be a cork placed in this problem.. if this continues, and most sources, not speaking about fox, are suggesting this is only going to get worse and at this rate there will be over 750k illegal migrants.

how are we suppose to sustain this influx.

the massive amounts of children flooding the schools in my own municipality is crippling, for many of the counties residents.. as an example the entire county offered free breakfast and lunch to all students.

the problem was made years ago. now there is "family" already here for lots of the migrants. And they do not assimilate and learn the language because they form their own neighborhoods and districts; if I want to talk to them I need to learn Mexican Spanish. I noticed my neighbor had a bad accent when I first met him but it went away when he found me to be a decent person and not prejudiced against him. (one of the ones I like) Individually I like almost all the migrants I meet, but you cannot solve the world's problems by having everyone move to the US, (or Europe or Austrailia.).

There is also an upswing in diseases thought to be gone because these people bring them in; nothing against them, it is their health system that failed in their own country.

The Sad lights (not the highlights) from the 12-1-85 WT.

by days of future passed in

i had found this wt a week or more ago and it had, as i previously posted on an article on how we "know" that paul was part of the governing body in the first century.. out of curiosity i looked thru some of the articles.

everything is so different when you know about how the wt is run by hypocrites and money grubbers.

what i saw as something positive or totally trustworthy, i now can only sadly sigh and roll my eyes at.. did you know that before caleb and sophia, there was little shelly and stephen?
