JeffT, I would agree.
Some people however have experienced legitimate medical negligence, life changing or even ending. If that’s happened to you or someone very close, it leaves a psychological scar that makes trust very difficult.
since most people in this group have been taught how to research and fact check with our jw history and getting out, this is a topic that can be constructive to check out.
i stumbled upon this and spent some time researching it, and it's quite interesting.
it's part of your immune system, gcmaf.

the european court of human rights ruled against an austrian woman who claimed calling the prophet muhammad a pedophile was protected by free speech.
... the woman in 2009 held two seminars entitled "basic information on islam," during which she likened muhammad's marriage to a six-year-old girl, aisha, to pedophilia.. the marriage according to islamic tradition was consummated when aisha was nine and muhammad was around 50. aisha was the daughter of muhammad's best friend and the first caliph, abu bakr.. the court cited the austrian women stating during the seminar that muhammad "liked to do it with children" and "... a 56-year-old and a six-year-old?
... what do we call it, if it is not pedophilia?".
Europe’s got it coming. Reaping what they’ve sowed.

I find this pig the most unbearable of the JW popes. Splane and the rubber face bitch are easy to hate but this fuckwit is such an arrogant prick I don’t even think he’s a deluded believer, just a narcissist enjoying himself.

“the un human rights committee said tuesday that france's ban on the niqab was a violation of human rights, and it called on the government to review the legislation.. france had failed to make the case for its ban, the committee said, giving paris 180 days to report back to say what actions it had taken.
the panel's findings are not legally binding but could influence french courts.. .
I was just in France a few weeks ago. Saw a few Muslim women wearing medical face masks, apparently trying to get around the law. Of course, their husbands wore normal clothing.
It’s like theocratical warfare bullshit, such similar mindsets to the JWs.
this is such an important issue, more and more people are succumbing to what must be some viral outbreak wreaking havoc in the world.. i'm talking about unnecessary punctuation.. it's easy to become infected.
you want to write something and add some emphasis so you add an exclamation mark to make it "important!
" but dang, it's not important enough is it??
I’ve gotta say, out of all the forums I frequent this place has a pretty good standard of gramma, not sure if that’s a reflection of the forums I visit or the standard of the frothing, bitter apostates here. Some of the atrocities that I encounter else where, it’s a freaking poopie convention. (Shout out to poopie).
I’m no grammar nazi, actually rate myself very poorly but I’ll always make an effort. I smell terrible and have bad teeth, if I offend your grammatical senses your getting off lightly.

The mother of childhood friends of mine was against chess. It’s a war game, silly.
She wouldn’t allow mariokart in the house, I’m talking early 90’s Super Nintendo shitty graphics. She would get distressed at the kids yelling out their violent threats to excecute green shell judgement.

Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma? I’ve seen those English dramas too, they’re cruel. So if there’s any other way to spell the word, it’s fine with me.
Why would you speak to me that way? Especially when I always said that I haven’t got the words for you. All your diction dripping with disdain, through the pain, I always tell the truth.
Vampire Weekend!...great band!!!!
just been catching up on the case of jamal khashoggi.. khashoggi was a saudi journalist who 'went missing' on 2 october after visiting the saudi consulate in istanbul.. he visited the consulate in order to get paperwork that confirmed he was divorced from his ex-wife and free to marry his turkish fiancée.. the details that are emerging are harrowing and show just how barbaric the saudi regime is.. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6288131/jamal-khashoggis-apparent-murder-follows-disappearance-three-exiled-royal-princes.html.
these assassins are the kinda people my government (uk) and other western governments are doing business with, propping up, and acting all smiley with in front of the cameras.. i suddenly feel the need to take a shower ....
The USA will activate its righteousness when it’s in their strategic interests. I’d say they’re technically involved in more than one war in the region already.
It’s in America’s interest to have some stability in surrounding states, sadly it takes harsh dictatorhips to control Islamic populations (trust me I’m Islamophobic). It has to be brutal in these places, life for these people is Old Testament shit, that’s why they’re labeled ‘shitholes’.
It’s hardly news anyhow. Saudi Arabia Royalty responsible for dismembering. FFS who is honestly susprised? It’s a mainstream media fuck fest is what it is.
first i want to say that i don't know very much about the muslims, and what i am going to say is not attacking anyone, but instead, it was something that was said to me by a muslim man a few years back.. back in 2004 my husband and i found ourselves in a homeless situation.
his job had ended because the plant that he was working at, had shut down, and was sent off to china.
at the time our two sons were still very young, so we ended up staying at a couple of different homeless shelters until my husband could find another job, which took a total of three months before he found a new job, in a new state.
The God of Abraham. He’s a yucky bastard.
how strict were the jehovah’s witnesses you knew about birthday cake?
i knew a girl who saw a few pieces of cake in the break room at her work, and ate a peice, then found out later that it was left over birthday cake.
she felt so guilty and was scared about a bad impression she left on her work mates.
With my kids I keep it traditional, always serve the birthday cake with a severed head.
