  this is a long video, but it may be of interest, as its difficult to reconcile physical mutilation with a god of everlasting love.. mutilation as gendered punishment: state violence and sexual transgression in medieval europe - keynote lecture by ruth mazo karras .

  ruth karras is a professor of history at trinity college dublin.

  her research focuses on medieval women, gender and sexuality.

  Overrated, I think George Floyd did not cooperate, and he was a large man, bigger than the cop. He wouldn’t have sat quietly in the patrol car.

  What’s Your View On Self Defense?

  by minimus in

  1. jw

  if someone comes to you with a knife or a gun, would you defend yourself if you could?

  if someone tried to beat you up , would you physically engage, run away or just try to talk the person out of beating you up or robbing you?

  if you did have a gun to defend yourself would you shoot to kill or would you simply aim for the ankle to incapacitate the person?

  I’d really like to see a picture of pistolpete. And I don’t have a gun, but I do support my right to have one. I live in a “safe” neighborhood, and don’t place myself in dangerous places late at night. Once, I cashed my paycheck, went to Venture to buy underwear for my husband. I noticed a young man in a hoodie watching me take the cash out of my purse to pay for my items. When I walked out of the store, he walked out after me. I turned right around and walked back into the store. Security walked me to my car, and I was fine. I think this kid wanted to grab my purse. But I was aware, as you need to be when you are out and about.

  True story: woman at our hall with 5 kids and unbelieving husband, tells how she heard a noise in her baby’s room, and goes in to check on him. He was sleeping, but she claims that the smurfs on the curtains in the room, came off the drapes, and were dancing in a circle around the crib. She burned those smurf curtains. Lol

  DPA Blood ASAP

  i am in need of the current copy of the newest dpa blood card as some of the jw's in my mothers congregation are asking about if she signed the latest copy after she passed today.

  i am curious as to why they are asking about this specifically and not offering condolences on the loss of my mother.

  there has been some shady interactions leading to my mother requesting me to talk to certain elders to request that certain people not interact with her further.

  True, but many parents don’t care if the kids do well, or finish their homework, etc. it starts with parents.

  Simon, I blame parents more than teachers. Shitty parents who set bad examples teach these kids the wrong way to live, expecting handouts and govt giveaways.

  Covid Virus and serving where the need is greater

  by eyeslice in

  1. watchtower

  i get the impression that many of those serving where 'the need is greater' have had to return to their home countries due to the current covid pandemic.. just over a year back the society was pushing people to go to places like india; not the easiest places to get to grips with at the best of times.

  now i see that the covid pandemic is pretty much out of control in india.

  it seems to me that 'needs greaters' were the watchtowers way of getting missionaries on the cheap.

  I think most of these “need greater” are younger folks looking for adventure. On another thread, I recall this topic talking about people going to mostly nice places, like Hawaii or Caribbean islands, never some godforsaken hellhole.
