Lets face it JWS got sold a sock full dreams of delusional bullshit, many have personally suffered in adhering to those dreams,
Mind you the GB heads did well, they still got the vast amount of money and power

1221995 generation change
by Gorb innow, many years later, i remember the 1995 generation change, very well.. since early youth, hearing my father explaining in field service the 2520 years.
it was his main theme in the field.. with the change my doubts started.
with some jw friends we did not trust the organization anymore.

In the UK it is legal to abort a Down's Syndrome baby up until the moment of birth
by LoveUniHateExams inthere was a recent legal challenge, brought about by a woman who herself has down's, which sought to overturn this sad state of affairs.. and a few days ago, a judge upheld the original law and denied her legal challenge.
this is pretty sick, don't you think?.
pro-abortion people love to ridicule religious people who claim that life begins at conception, so the obvious question is, when does life actually begin?.

Totally agree this is wrong and needs to be changed.
Quite surprised this rule/law exists in the UK.

SEX BETWEEN CONSENTING ADULTS NOT WRONG
by JohnTron72 ini replied to a lesbian on the quora website who tried to state that god destroyed sodom because of the violent rape the people were trying to commit, not because they were homosexuals.
her argument perperuated so often was that it stated nothing about sex between "two consenting adults".
but, instead of using the bible scriptures such as a man shall not lay down with another as a woman, i used something else you never hear anyone use.... i told her to look to genesis 6:1-4 .

Free Will is the only reason people can choose to be as they want right now.
Freewill what the F ?
Is it freewill from an individual that makes a mentally retarded or blind person ?
Is it inherent freewill that the mentally retarded or the blind choose they way they are ?

Sure there were a couple notable hypocrite elders in my old Hall, who drove in brand new Cadillacs or Mercedes, wore the most expensive suits and looked the rich atypical.
The way it was in that Hall was that your personal wealth made you automatically into a posed elevated member in apposed to a poorer person.
Put in some mega dollars into the contribution box and wallah your among the truly righteous.

Isn't humanity better off using and accepting modem secular knowledge regarding human sexuality than what the ancients knew 3000 years ago ?
The ancient Hebrews probably had justifiable reasons why they took their stand and position on homosexuality, we should honestly assume and accept that I think.
One thing we can unquestionably be assured of there are biological indifferences within born humans and it is inhumane to create prejudices and hatred through or because of those indifferences.

Ancient mythological expressions?

I read the bible carefully, particularly the NT and the words of Jesus.
I found that his words and directions didn't coincide with what GB leaders were doing and saying..

Yes that's true , RTN
Someone in those specific localities realized the value of those properties and decided lets sell them and give the money to HQ, what a loving gesture to Jehovah they made.
These guys made themselves popular and noted by the top guys at the district HQ.
The transference of money has always stood as an identifiable action of devout loyalty to the Org.
