  What is Racially Derogatory Language

  by barry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here is australia the race commissioner has claimed senator o'sullivan is in violation of racially derogatory language.

  senator sullivan has said the biggest threat to biosecurity is ' some bloody old chinaman that brings in his favourite sausage down the front of his undies' chin tan said using the word chinaman is offensive.

  makes you wonder is englishman or australian man or scotsman is also just as offensive.

  "End of All Kingdoms in 1914!" 8-30-1914 World Magazine PDF!

  by cabasilas in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  over the past 50 odd years, an article that was published in a new york city newspaper in 1914 has been quoted several times in watchtower publications.

  this article was published in the august 30, 1914 world about pastor c.t.

  russell's predictions for 1914. modern watchtower publications omit the facts from that article that show that russell's predictions for 1914 do not match the watchtower society's current understanding of 1914 as a "marked year.

  What organization, religious or secular falsifies its early history to make it more palatable for the present time. ?

  No reputable organization does that ,only one who has reason to hide what they said or did in the past .

  So JW/GB why are you hiding the "Truth" of your past history what are you afraid of current Jehovah`s Witnesses finding out about what you proclaimed as "truth" in your early history that you discard as "Truth" today ?

  If Jehovah /Jesus Christ appointed you as the Faithful and Discreet Slave Class back in 1919 because of what you believed and taught ,why aren`t you teaching those same things today ?

  And the fact that you don`t ,what can that only mean ?

  Justice-but is it really?

  justice: individuals or groups?.

  1. you commit the crime--you must do the time.2.

  those aren't your fingerprints on the murder weapon--you're exonerated.. justice = you break it--you buy it.

  Favourite New Film

  by jhine in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  l recently went to watch green book , which l thought was excellent , it had everything , it took me though the whole range of emotions , from anger to joy , laughing then wanting to cry .

  the quiet dignity of dr shirley mixed with volatile nature of tony lipp and seeing their emerging friendship was wonderful .

  what really shook me was that these attitudes existed in my lifetime , not that long ago .

  The Green book was a fantastic feel good movie that i think should win the Oscars for best picture .

  thanks Jan for the post.

  America was/is not a racist Country ?

  "The Colour Purple" nominated for twelve Oscars and didn`t receive one ,that was disgraceful .

  One of my all time fav. / movies.

  I have just watched Black KkKlansman another good movie.

  They don`t have a Clergy class is what the tell the general public.

  Miraculously in a court of law they claim Clergy Penitent privilege .?

  I hope mike & kim keeps us up to date with this "Bill" proposed by the senator.

  Don`t go to any meetings and don`t admit to ever being a JW if they come to your door its called theocratic warfare in reverse .

  The only power they have over you is the power you give to them

  They have no right to know any of your business unless you should see fit to share it with them .

  By the way Welcome to the forum

  Did you know most jehovah witnesses don’t even follow their own rules?

  by Walrus in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  (before you read anything i was born into this religion and am just counting down the days until i can leave) so i made one other post before because i signed up thinking that this was just a one time venting thing for me and everyone that replied on my last post was super helpful and i thank you if you’re reading this one but shit.

  i’ve never released this much emotion especially to strangers, not even with my own parents and with you guys i feel like i can say anything about how i feel and it’s all good because you all feel the same as i do.

  but anyway i just got into some shit with my mom and step dad.

  Venus Williams is a high profile tennis player who claims to be a Jehovah`s witness as i think is her sister Venus Williams ,and i havent heard the JW religion/GB ever saying anything different ?

  That`s in the USA

  In Australia ,professional footballer in the AFL , bearded Alec Rance claims to be a Jehovah`s Witness and again i havent heard the JW religion/Gb saying anything different .

  Note: Neither of them to my knowledge have ever been baptized so that could be there get out of jail card.

  Note : You don`t get to these standards of optimization in your sporting field unless you put in the hard yards of dedication and commitment and years and years of sweat and tears.

  That is not something the Jehovah`s Witness religion want`s you to spend your time effort and money on.

  Aussies who enjoy AFL / Sports & JW Involvement. It also happen elsewhere ? Double standards ?

  by smiddy3 in

  2. beliefs

  it is well documented that the jw religion frowns on there members engaging in competitive sports to the extent they discourage school age children in the organization from being a part of competitive sports..gal.5:26. i have commented before on an afl payer in victoria who claims he is a jw who threatened to leave his club and pursue his religious convictions a year or two ago ,of course he didn`t and probably got an increase in his pay/salary.

  good on him that`s business,and his business.. i now notice that he is sporting a well kept grown beard another thing that his professed religion frowns upon .i wonder if he still professes to be a jw or if he has left the religion.?.

  to my knowledge he was never baptized even though he is in his mid twenties and married to a jw.sister.. jehovah`s witnesses encourage young teens to be baptized and suggest that a jw sister should not look to being yoked with a brother unless he is baptized certainly by the time he is twenty .. if alec rance still professes to be a jehovah`s witness and if he is not baptized while in his mid twenties and sporting a beard, he is not considered a jehovah`s witness by his fellow congregants until he gets baptized and gets rid of his beard.. if the above is correct does his claim to be a jehovah`s witness publicly warrant a disclaimer by the religion he professors because he doesn`t abide by the governing body /faithful & discreet slave class directives of his religion ?.

  If Alec Rance still professes to be a Jehovah`s witness and if he is not baptized while in his mid twenties and sporting a beard, he is not considered a Jehovah`s witness by his fellow congregants until he gets baptized and gets rid of his beard.

  If the above is correct does his claim to be a Jehovah`s witness publicly warrant a disclaimer by the religion he professors because he doesn`t abide by the Governing body /faithful & discreet slave class directives of his religion ?
