The case of Jamal Khashoggi

by LoveUniHateExams in

just been catching up on the case of jamal khashoggi.. khashoggi was a saudi journalist who 'went missing' on 2 october after visiting the saudi consulate in istanbul.. he visited the consulate in order to get paperwork that confirmed he was divorced from his ex-wife and free to marry his turkish fiancée.. the details that are emerging are harrowing and show just how barbaric the saudi regime is.. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6288131/jamal-khashoggis-apparent-murder-follows-disappearance-three-exiled-royal-princes.html.

these assassins are the kinda people my government (uk) and other western governments are doing business with, propping up, and acting all smiley with in front of the cameras.. i suddenly feel the need to take a shower ....

Jamal Ahmad Khashoggi was a Saudi Arabian journalist, author, and a former general manager and editor-in-chief of Al-Arab News Channel. He also served as editor for the Saudi Arabian newspaper Al Watan, turning it into a platform for Saudi Arabian progressives.

You want to dismiss him as a journalist because conservatives have always been destroyed by journalists. Trump is the only one so far to fight back with any success. Free press is a liberal staple. Of course they are going to highlight this news item as a way to undermine conservatives and Trump. Conservatives have launched a smear campaign on Khashoggi to provide a soft spot for their base to land.

Good luck.

Like a number of issues, you’ve got top GOP fighting amongst each other. The Senate knows exactly how much Trump loves SA because Trump has said so. Even GOP Senators are not willing to turn a blind eye for the sake of money. They don’t want to send the message that the USA can be bought off in the face of egregious behavior.

If you don’t think murder in the interest of shutting down free speech is an issue that is your privilege. It smacks of ignorance.

A question for you women; what was it really like for you being in the Org?

by Tallon in

hi there folks.. i took a bit of time out from the forum, however i'm back again.. what was it really like for you, your experiences good or bad, etc, in the org?.

if you were granted a listening ear by the gb, what changes would you like to see implemented?.

Wow. I know a handful of kids at the time that got disfellowshipped for wanting to be rock stars. Actually disassociated because they were not baptized, but they were treated the same at the time. I know them all to this day 30 years later. All still rocking out in varying degrees of success.

What a crazy ass religion.

I was a handful. The elders were glad when I was finally out of their hair. They tried multiple times to “adjust my thinking” but they always ended up getting nasty with me when it didn’t work. I pretty much told them when they start writing the checks they might have a say in how I lived my life.

When the COs would come around I agreed to sit down with them a few times. We would argue about different subjects like the flood, abortion, blood transfusions and CSA. Specifically the 2 witness rule.

Always, some stupid comment would be made about my medical degree clouding my mind and blocking the Holy Spirit.

Really all it amounted to is every single one of them was a tool.

If the GB would hear me, I would ask them to include women on any CSA investigation or any assault allegation on a woman.

But we know their answer already from the ARC hearings.

Rick Fearon - Six Screens of the Watchtower

by dubstepped in

jw
friends

so a friend today asked me what his deal is and i honestly don't know.

i saw someone post about his accusations that the doj is investigating watchtower and people seemed down on the guy, as well has johnny the bethelite or whatever his name is that claims to leak stuff.

i don't know rick fearon, don't watch his show, but his site just seems a little crazy, and he seems to get into occult conspiracies and the jws, which never lends credibility.. so for those of you who have been around a while, what's the deal?

You could talk about go bags and divert their attention away from the child sex abuse problem.

Cognitive dissonance.

Using congregation funds to pay for medical costs

by the girl next door in

did it ever happen in your congregation?.

it did in one of mine a decade ago.

not only were funds on hand in the congregation account used but repeated announcements were made to contribute towards the medical treatments for an elder’s wife who was battling breast cancer.

Looking back at the time, I just went along with it. I felt bad for the “sweet sister” dying. I had no idea the politics going on behind the scenes until a year later when 5 elders moved out. 3 of them left the org all together. Even then I didn’t put it together that them leaving had anything to do with the accounts until I ran into one of them years later and he told me about it.

I wonder, how much cagey stuff goes on in the “elders club” that us idiots had/have no clue about. Also, when it is exposed, shouldn’t that entire congregation be shuffled and another BoEs installed?

Bible study my as& - It's a book study

by pleaseresearch in

so when we used to roll up to someones house for the book study group, we would study a book.

the jw's don't conduct bible studies, but book studies.

dipping in and out of the bible as they seem fit..

the girl next door

Isn’t it true at various times that the WT discouraged meeting together just to read the Bible? They asserted you had to use the “helpers” to understand correctly. If you only used the Bible you would be opened up to misunderstandings and apostasy?

It seems like I recall something in CoC about this.
