Ouch.

so we binge-watched the waco mini-series on netflix.. wow, what a powerful and enlightening programme!
even if you think you know what happened, it gives you extra context to it all.
it's very well done even if you just want a great drama series, but it's way more than that.. there are of course some dramatization and slight historical inaccuracies for the purpose of story-telling but it was very informative.
Ouch.
God bless 'Merica
does there seem to be a higher incidence of infidelity amongst the jws?.
my brother, who is an active jw and ministerial servant, has an elder friend who was recently disfellowshipped for having an affair with another sister in the hall.
it turns out this sister was divorced a few years earlier from a "worldly" man who had an affair on her.
Kids definitely change the equation by a decade. I rescind my vote wise hoser.

*late 20's ;p
After all half of us got married between 16-18 and the 7 year itch ain't that long.
i have noticed that the foolishness of jephthah's vow to sacrifice his daughter gets bandied around a lot as somehow approved of by god.
i never could understand how people could come to this conclusion.
if i wrote about something terrible that my son had done, that doesn't mean that i am for that thing.
Hospitals here are posting public announcements begging people to come to the hospital because the hospital is empty. Yet we are still on about 90% lockdown. Crazy isn't it.
Scare people enough and they just refuse to attend or walk through those pearly doors of salvation.
i was 20 years old and at bethel for just a couple of months.
i was really depressed, as i was finding out what bethel was really all about.
i drank a whole bottle of cold duck, after a long hot subway ride back to brooklyn.
30 years ago. I woke up broke, sticky and confused.

That is fine with me. Please do so immediately and also end these stay at home orders. I will never be the same after all the shit I have watched on Netflix.

The Amish and the Mennonites have their issues too and are frankly much more cut off from the "world" than JWs are. They definitely long to experience different vagina and penis deep into a boring marriage. No pun intended. "Love and Commitment and Vows" are no different in any arena on earth and shouldn't be confused with sex, lust and infidelity. Watching the series "Growing Up Amish" I have no doubt they are very resourceful when it comes to testing the waters outside of marriage. We just can't hear it or see it because not a large enough community that cares enough inside or out has exposed it.
Even in the Garden of Eden we would tire of picking the same fruit even what is forbidden. Oh wait....
This is not an endorsement for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints either.

Because he had the power to stop it and chose not to. Like he has the power to end human suffering and chooses not to.
Why?
Because he is like Santa Clause. A figment of the 5 year old's imagination promulgated by lying parents.
i have been thinking and was eventually wondering about the following:.
did the flood and all wars in the scriptures eventually bear the fruits that god hoped for?
is evil gone among humans?
If God created us in his image, does he have a slightly sinful tendency or nature too? Why would he give us something he did not have?

Anytime you have children marrying each other just to have sex you are going to see mass infidelities after 10 years because of sheer curiosity. Welcome to growing up JW. Looking around seeing every other dysfunctional family or marriage 5 times a week is no positive reinforcement either.
End of story.
