so it seems that the 2017 convention will be showing a 3 part video series on lot's wife:.
https://www.jw.org/en/publications/videos/remember-lots-wife/.
perhaps they missed an opportunity to show the real story!:.
I'm subscribed to the channel of the third video you posted.
I actually love discussing that story with homophobes who seem to think that such ridiculous story is proof that their god disapproves homosexuality. All I do is asking them when do they plan to get their own daughters pregnant.
I'm sure form that point you know where I go.
is this the reaction you get when you walk into a kingdom hall sporting your new beard 🙄.

with tattoos becoming ever more popular in today's culture, i couldn't help but wonder what happens when people with ostentatious tattoos seek baptism?
are they admitted?
many don't have the money to have them removed, yet i can't imagine they'd be allowed to do pioneer work.
It all depends where you live...
I echo that. In the early 2000s when in USA Christianity wanted to be cool, they started showing people with tattoos in church as a way of saying that it was ok. With the JWs and in certain cultures, they may take a different approach.
hello there.. tried to bring this up with my family.
didnt go well - they cling on to the utopia that the org paints, so i am gonna put this topic to your attention.
i would love to hear what you guys/girls think about this - god or no god i find this interesting.
What do you think it will be?
Way back when I was a JW, I answered that question stating that the way their god thinks is pretty much laid out in the bible, so I figured it will be the same "thou shall not..." that you find there.
Of course, now to me it's all garbage of the worst kind, so who knows, who cares. None of what they can come up with matters at all (in terms of logic or knowledge; in terms of the decisions that they choose to make based on that crap, that's a different thing).
after the meeting this week and the song and parts about elders, something occurred to me.
the elders don't teach as shepherds.. when nathan confronted david.
he didn't make an accusation stating that jehovah informed him of what david did.
The elders don't teach as shepherds.
Those people have no leadership skills, no education background, some don't even have basic people skills, few have some higher education, and they are to talk and act exactly as they are told.
What could they possibly teach to anyone, that is, what valuable thing could they teach to anyone?

above is the link to this blog that is fuelled with so much hatred it's unreal.
i commented on this bloggers posts, and told this bloggers how distasteful this bloggers posts are, i never expected it to go public, as this blogger will only post what he/she thinks os acceptable.. this blogger has asked me to show evidence of his/her hatred, only for this blogger to use the age old psychological trick of projecting onto the accusers.
I am with David_Jay. I'm not sure why people simply make the assumption that everything in the internet is posted by sane, rational or educated people. Engaging in attempts against them is just futile and unnecessary, not to mention that standard already tired (yet always reliable) free speech argument.
looking back at it, it was shameful to treat human beings worse than a way we would treat a dog!
ignore people, treat them as dead...,it's so awful.
😞.

The good thing about humans and relationships is that some may be mended. I felt exactly the same way about they way I treated some disfellowshipped people. Later I saw them and some I was able to talk to and let them know that the WT attitude and practice of shunning is something I no longer believe in. Some, sadly were still in "JW mode" and felt like they shouldn't be talking to me, and one person told me to stay away from him because he was planning on going back.
So don't feel bad because in the end, you may not be able to salvage anything, and also, some people are in fact assholes, disfellowshipped or not.
so i was wondering what book is the nuttiest they ever printed?
i know there are several in contention for first place but which is your vote for no 1?
also if you don't mind post a bit of what is in the book you pick to show why you picked it.
Thanks, Village (I don't feel comfortable using the rest of your name).
would you as person in a terrorist siege denounce christianity ( even if you were not christian ) and pledge an oath to allah so save your arse from a bullet to the back of your head ?.

What makes you think that terrorist means non-Christian?
i have mentioned i have bi-polar.
as part of my strategy against this is to endeavour to be positive and around positive people as much as i can.
that is avoid negative conversations and negative people.
Thank you for sharing, zeb. I'll stay away from you as I tend to be very negative. I care, though.
