how in the hell would it ever work?
everyone is youthful, everyone is perfect, everyone's personality is loving and kind.
how would you choose somebody?
How in the hell would it ever work? Everyone is youthful, everyone is perfect, everyone's personality is loving and kind. How would you choose somebody? Just randomly or what? Another thing that just doesn't make sense.
Maybe going back to ancient bible times when you would just buy a woman, trade her, or have your friends sexually assault her as they please, just to show hospitality.
.........are due out soon, so here's a question which could be asked of the jw offering the invite:.
"can you show me any scriptures which says that spectators were to be invited to a ritual which is exclusively for future king/priests in heaven?
" (allegedly).
...here's a question which could be asked of the JW offering the invite:...
Or not; it's ok to just say thank you, let them be and dismiss the invitation. Nothing wrong with that.

Well, he was in a position in that organization that not many were. His perspective is quite unique. I agree, but other people stories are as good and powerful (IMHO).
i registered to vote!
the last election had me staring like a deer in the headlights.
i couldn't stand either candidate!
Congratulations! Now don't forget to actually vote. Registering to vote has a lot of meaning, but actually voting made me feel more part of the world, which is one of the best feelings ever for a born-in.
when i was a jw elder and dreamed of living in paradise, i pictured all of the animals, beautiful people, perfect weather, welcoming back the dead and teaching them about god.
the only problem is to get to the point of making the earth a paradise first there will be around 8 billion bodies to bury.
then how are we going to dig through all of the rubble and collapsed buildings using what tools?
I don't think that God will lift a finger to help unless he just waves his magic wand and presto the dead bodies and rubble are vaporized.
I was always questioning that myself. Thanks for sharing.
so i just finished watching the netflix series "seven seconds", about a police cover up of a black teenager killed by a police officer in a hit and run.
it was filmed in jersey city, nj at the end of the last episode as the camera panned the area, they showed the jersey city assembly hall.
i actually helped restore that building and helped in building the addition..
Was the series good?
https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/activities/construction/women-in-construction/.
it's all about women being trained to operate heavy equipment, like it's a miracle.
they quote the male foreman, but don't tell you that only men are allowed to be foreman.
On the flip side of the sexism coin, it's said multiple times that women are safer and more thorough, and are often preferred for the job.
When are people going to put to rest that gender shit. People's gender don't automatically make them any more or less capable.

ties are out.
tats are acceptable.
Will JW change their dictates since acceptable business standards have veered away from dress for success standards of 50s?
No. And even if they do, what would that do anyway?
who among us has known a jw who has committed suicide.
i believe this as a separate subject has not been covered..
Who among us has known a jw who has committed suicide. I believe this as a separate subject has not been covered.
Not personally. However, I know of some who have attempted suicide. Also, a friend of mine who is a psychologist has commented that he has seen a few JWs who have been in different stages of the suicide spectrum, from entertaining the idea, to planning, to attempting it.
It is real and a sad reality.
Personally I've never been suicidal. I've been homicidal, though.
