  Has Anyone Had any JWs PHYSICALLY Put Their Hands On You (And Not Within A Family Unit Situation)?

  by HiddlesWife in

  i was asking the above question because a pomo friend of my family told me about an incident involving her and a couple of dubs who were physically abusive in the past.. a single sister who was running around from one cong to another cong looking for a husband.

  she was visiting my friend's cong for less than a year.

  there was a commuter bethellite bro who was very friendly towards my friend (which i'll call her "q") and her fam members.

  That read a bit like a Bond novel.

  Just take the "dub" part out and you have regular people doing regular dysfunctional people stuff. Not sure what the JW influence is meant to do, if anything, because they don't promote that sort of behavior.

  They just sound like dysfunctional people, the sort that would be on daytime TV talk / fight shows.

  Roe vs Wade Overturned by US Supreme Court!

  i know there was a leak a few weeks back, but this really does seem to have come out of the blue.. the anomaly was the original decision.

  it clearly had no basis in law or the constitution, and was a flimsy, ridiculous ruling.

  plus the whole thing was based on a fraudulent case in the first place.. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61928898.

  Different interpretations then on if it is murder or not. Ultimately just more imposing one’s own view on others.

  That's the definition of law and order. Society decides what is and isn't acceptable, passes laws and imposes the will of the people.

  If we start with the premise that murder is wrong and work back, eventually we get to teens, preteens, toddlers and babies.

  You still with me? That's still clearly wrong, agreed?

  So take whatever baby, and they kill it the day before. Still not OK, with me?

  The day before that?

  How far back do you want to go before you say "OK, kill it!"?

  If your claim is on viability then you're into the ~24 week territory.

  If you want to be taken seriously, you have to have serious reason to your claims. Throwing your arms up and saying "any abortion should be allowed" is clearly monstrous, barbaric, and indefensible.

  Experiences with kiss up kick down Jehovahs witnesses

  i’ll go first.. in a previous congregation we had a pioneer couple that have since gone on to be gilead graduates and are now either in circuit work or translation.

  they checked all the boxes off the societies list so they were exemplary.

  A JW cannot be excommunicated for the sole act of taking another believer to court

  And they wouldn't be, it would be for bringing reproach upon Jehovah or the congregation. Whatever BS they want to invent, they don't need any legitimate reason!

  Seems like the Dems were intent on killing off more of "their base".

  They keep them inline in other ways.

  It's really about planned parenthood being a money laundering operation of the democratic party.

  They gave something like $45m to them in the 2020 election, and then the dems ensure they are given taxpayers money in return.

  Round and round the money goes, where it stops, nobody knows ... oh wait, we do. Biden.

  Why do people who believe murder is wrong want to impose that on other people? If you don’t believe in murder, don’t get murdered.

  I think the point is to protect vulnerable life that cannot protect itself.

  "I'm keeping others safe"

  Reality: it's a travel requirement if I'm to be allowed to go on my whoreing trip.

  So while many were feeling sorry for him & concerned about 'his mental state' he's on holiday......again

  He'll probably have to take breaks from his exhausting vacation schedule soon. Travel presenters will be complaining that they are spending too many days at home by comparison.

  All the idiots saying “all the cute babies saved” should realise the hideousness of the now inevitable back street abortions.

  Are you saying that passing laws makes no difference to peoples behavior? Only there are people demanding guns be made illegal, someone should let them know. Also, unlike abortion, I think there may be something about guns in the constitution.

  Do you believe contraception is more or less accessible now than 50 years ago? Also, that there are more options available?

  the left will burn down their own towns and cities in protest.

  The real special ones will then look around and marvel at the institutional racism keeping them poor.

  They'll all complain about how unfair it is that people don't invest in their communities.
