carla: tatts on women used to be called tramp stamps.
As I understand it, that's a slang term referring to tattoos that women get just above their butt.
i was wondering about the jw attitude towards getting tattoos.. redditors suggest that the only jws who have them would have got them before they were baptised.. jw.org gives a meally-mouthed "true christians wouldn't" response.. but no-one (that i've seen so far) answers the question i'm actually asking: is getting a tattoo after being baptised a disfellowshipping offence?.
if not disfellowshipable, how would a typical jw congregation treat someone who got a tattoo after baptism?
would they really treat it like it is a conscience issue?.

i`ll list a few things and welcome any input, comments you may have .. 1.when adam & eve "sinned" disobeyed him, surely god could have handled it better than to condemn all future generations to disease and death ?.
2.his handling of satan who supposedly seduced eve to disobey god could also have been done a lot differently with a finality to it.. 3.i find little if anything in his dealings with the patriarchs that suggests a loving god protecting them.?.
4.taking on the nation of israel and leading them as his chosen people does not inspire confidence or trust as a god of love.. 5.throughout the hebrew scriptures / old testament his chosen people were constantly at war with other nations which of course would have meant many deaths of the israelite`s during these battles .and the grief that comes with family members in those times.

He could have forgiven them.

LMsA: He promised a lot at 82 patrons or $750 a month
It's not even a lot, when you think about it. Do some research, produce 200 or so minutes of usable content each month, and split it into ten videos. A week of work (if that) for a living wage. And he grew way past that. He had it made.
He'd be living the good life if not for his lack of mastery over his penis. And then some Thai "girl" told him that she could help "straighten out" the issue, and let's just say that Google translate doesn't always get it right...

KIMSILVIO: What happens if no one is left at the end?
Hmmm. What if he is so desperate to spite us that he is encouraging his patrons to leave, just so that no one will win the pool?

Looks like 20 or more, again. The consistency of the drop each month is amazing.

2 - the watch tower bible & tract society, the governing body of jehovah’s witnesses,... .
Same here. We understood that the governing body was the faithful and discreet slave and all of that, but "the society" was the catch-all phrase. Everyone knew what was meant when someone said that "the society says this/that."

If I am not mistaken, the subsidies were upwards of $2 million per year. A pretty significant outlay for a relatively small religious denomination. If that number is correct, I can see why they'd be upset at losing their registration. I wonder if it is legal for them to funnel that money back to the HQ in the USA? Two million buys a lot of booze.

And now I keep hearing Yakhov Smirnoff saying "In Soviet Russia, penis masters you!"
on youtube, type "joanie the jehovah witness stripper" in the search bar.
several versions of the song will appear.
it's hilarious, and, apparently, based on a real life jw who was a neighbor of the song's writer..
ExB: They obviously got disfellowshipped but then they were posing with the revelation book showing it’s ‘grand climax at hand’
Now that made me LoL.

a real estate document on the robeson county website is filed:.
the religious order of jehovah's witnesses has provided a "life estate" for them.they can live in this townhouse until they are deceased or choose to move away and in either case the ownership becomes entirely the property of jehovah's witnesses.
I won't harass the guy, it isn't something that would even cross my mind.
But I think that a good idea would be for anyone whose lives were affected adversely by WTS policies and practices to write him a polite and heartfelt letter, letting him know of their suffering.
