  The old books took artwork from outside sources ( Christendom) and used it. With a search you can probably find a source for Adam and Eve.

  Systemic Racism: What’s Your View? Is it As Pervasive As Some Suggest?

  the president of the united states says we have to do something about this.

  many politicians and people agree that we are all affected by the scourge of systemic racism.

  what’s your view of this?

  Systemic caste is more correct. The 1619 theory ignores too many things. Maybe the real problem was Eli Whitney saving the south with his machine.

  There is real oppression and slavery in the world but it is perpetrated by traditional enemies of the free world

  Woke Oscars cringe

  actors' acceptance speeches have often been a little dodgy - viewers don't care what political or social views actors may have, we typically appreciate actors acting well.. this year's oscars awards ceremony seems to be going above and beyond, however.. here's frances mcdormand's acceptance speech, in which she dedicates her victory to 'our wolf' and then howls like a bitch, lol.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-_be0awgwk.

  There are lots of good movies made, mostly indie. We cant find them much. As for actors, two great ones ( of "color") are Morgan Freeman and Will Smith. they both portray humans rather than caricatures.

  Just so long as the JWs do not address any shortcomings in the handling of matters.

  Drastic Upcoming Changes? (accelerated by the pandemic)

  good to see you again!

  much discussion now about the fallout that is coming due to impacts of the pandemic combined with the long-term downward spiral of jw.org.

  i am active as a pimo and my wife is pimi....much of our personal conversation and conversation with others in jw land focuses on how things will play out for jw.org in the next 12-24 months.

  Wife, friends are elderly that said that. No young ones are in touch with us. I suspect the two thirds with no video are not " dressed"

  Even the pimi seem to be in contact with DF family well past the family business out. I have never known of anyone following the convention example.

  My plans are to fall off the radar when wife is gone.

  I have heard a few say they are not looking forward to going back to meetings. even with the drawbacks of zoom.

  What is lacking is a lucid doctrine and variety in meetings.

  The big production videos are a bit entertaining, the shorts are somewhat insulting. Jade was pretty, neta attractive; Jonah seemed to be idle rich, and his sister would have been married 10 years in that culture

  What was the defining moment that started your becoming a JW ?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  let me explain what i mean: i was in the company of a workmate when i looked at my hands and my arms and pointed out the veins and said something like look at that, isn`it amazing how veins and arteriies circulate the blood through our bodies ?.

  he later explained to me he wasn`t sure what he should say to me as we had been working together for about six years and he had never once brought up about his jw background .he was what we would call a weak witness and he considered me a street kid who swore and drank too much.

  i was twenty years old at the time.. i can`t remember the actual conversations that transpired ,but thats what started me down the road to becoming a witness and then convincing my gf to join me and about two years later we were married in a kh.. can you point to any one thing or conversation that started you down the road to becoming a witness?.

  6. Disagree they will ever tone down the threats. More likely to harden sanctions against " family business"

  Single Pretty Girls that are JWs, have so much potential, but sadly........

  by pistolpete in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the pandemic has made the situation worse for single young jw girls.. i'm hearing tons of sad stories of single jw girls who are going, or have gone into deep depression.

  with many having thoughts of committing suicide and hoping for a better life in the new order.. the pandemic has made it almost impossible for young jw girls to find a suitable marriage mate.

  especially since the single jw boys-men want young, gorgeous, thin, virgins, who look like models and summit to the headship arrangement.

  No social interaction. Not even cruising the assemblies now.

  Despite the rhetoric, bethel, NS, elder are not qualifications for a good husband. Neither is a pioneer necessarily good wife material. They are more the "living in moms basement" type

  Note the big headed inviting to hear someone give a talk. " look at me!"
