OK then Minimus, by the way, I think you're a bigot and one of the worst racists I've ever encountered on any social media board, not just this one . . . . . . . . . . . . .is that the way it works?

archie bunker from all in the family was considered by many as a racist.

there are still many people who think and act like him.

of course, in today’s world, there are many extremes.

Im getting used to the people here, I myself hear no sarcasm in the comments in my post. I believe I can tell a flat out racist statement from sarcasm, but of course you have the right to disagree.

Well, since comments such as: "Them people are finally learning to stay in their own part of town and keep to their own kind. Otherwise they'll be one less of 'em to worry about"

And the comment in response to it is: "Rub , u rite ‘gain, bro"

Then my comment is this, is one of the most racist JW Boards I've ever seen and I feel confident in saying that just like the two people who made the comments I quoted above are. At least it is offered here comments can be made from both sides of the argument here.

Craziest thing you ever saw in a KH?

by dubstepped in

i did this in my facebook group for my podcast and it was fun.. so what's the craziest thing you ever saw?.

for me it was watching a brother have a heart attack during the meeting in the auditorium.

i was a kid and noticed him shaking and acting strange.

We had our only anointed brother in the Cong excuse himself to go to the bathroom too.

Those who thought that they were going to live in heaven forever with Jehovah were usually kind of quirky and that's putting it nicely.

However, he and his wife finally saw the real light and stopped attending a couple of decades ago.

silentbuddha - If the Wayans went to your Cong for then it must've been a Cong in lower Manhattan, a former JW co-worker went to their KH, she grew up in that area.

That mother and daughter that thought they were in the Catholic Church that was across the street, wow, KHs are so plain inside compared to any church, can't understand how they didn't catch on after just 3 seconds after walking inside.

The sister that stood up and started confessing how bad she was and named all the people she slept with, I bet a few brothers were shitting bricks hoping their name wouldn't be on the list.

this was sent to me by a cooky uber-dub.

apparently it's making the rounds locally...it's typical lighthearted jw satire (that they think is great!!

smh :-/ ) .

Pete - That's funny!

I like that Keynote Address and Prince closing out the days meeting!

But seriously, or not too seriously since the whole Paradise thing is JW hoax, but do they really plan on holding meetings after they've made it after the BIg A? I thought once you've made it through that you would just sit back and relax and play with the lions and tigers in your backyard for the next 10 Zillion years.

Have you ever known elders who were more into being and elder than really being a believer?

by phoenixrising in

i have known many elders who were much more into the idea of being an elder and getting all the old ladies to tell them what wonderful talks they give and the power then really being a believer.

i had one elder tell me that when he became an elder he was on top dog on top of the heap.

i knew some who were really all about the religion and following the cult.

Eldership is a men's club where everyone has the power to run or ruin I should say peoples lives

Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread

by Simon in

this topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.

latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.

the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

After he mentions the UV light, he mentions the "disinfectant" that knocks it out in a minute and is there a way we can do that by injection. Just watched the clip from April 24 to make sure what his exact wording is.

So no, you are right, he did not say beach, he said disinfectant, but still he mentions injecting that into the body, so it is not a hoax.

"they would be so receptive right now" - typical thinking from a Dub, just like when they make their move on someone who just lost a loved one.

Only in their minds would they be so receptive, it is extremely rare that someone actually walks up to these carts planted everywhere and asks them to tell me more about your religion
