  since i have stopped attending meetings i have realized that there are alot of good t.v.

  shows that i have missed as well as channels that i would not watch because they would no doubt be in opposition to the scriptures(har har).. .

  i have been watching the history channel and the discovery channel so much over the last few months that it is amazing.

  Yes Comedy is the wway to go for me. I still am scared when watching things with monsters etc... I am afraid of something but I don't know what. LOL

  Thanks for the suggestions. Mad Men is also fun because the Hendricks woman is insanely top heavy. I have no idea what it is really about except that I want to be there.

  i notice the sexist language of the watchtower a lot more these days.

  is it on the increase or am i simply more tuned into to noticing it now?

  for example this statement in the june kingdom ministry:.

  @Julia - I am envious. My dead broke JW mother paid for nothing and never got me a gift LOL.

  I asked for the 15 minute version of the talk because I wanted to get the heck outta there and have some sex... I was tired of the loose / brazen conduct we engaged end and promised every night that we would not do it again.

  I have been watching the History channel and the discovery channel so much over the last few months that it is amazing. It has caused me to go and get books I would never have read, as well as research things I never would have been interested in.

  However now I need some truly mind-numbing shows to watch as well. ANy ideas are greatly appreciated. (I also watched reruns of TrueBlood, but I was afraid to go to sleep after :(

  Food For Logical Thought...

  by braincleaned in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  sometimes we waste hours and hours debating a subject like the flood, and the impossible scientific and evolutionary consequences that it entails.

  we go into great debates about how all of is is possible, what a "kind" means (species, obviously not)... etc.... but believers will not stop believing... so here is something even a child would think of more logically:if god is all powerful and love why would he have not just made the wicked drop dead, painlessly?

  simply, humanly.

  Me and my Mom had this discussion. She would constantly quote the passage about tongues rotting out of peoples mouths and thier eyeballs rotting in the socket and I would think, Jeez that is a little much. No doubt painful... probably moreso then being burned alive. Why would a good that doesn't like child sacrifice and is so loving cause this to happen. What would make him think in such a way.

  Her insane response was his thoughts are higher than our thoughts........................ well now that doesnt seem sensible does it.

  She even went so far as to say that God will amke sure that they know why they are dying, so split seconds before they die he will put some thought in thier minds to let them know that he is killing them.. "Jehovah of Armies".

  What would a loving creator gain from that. A thinking person would realize nothing - brainwashed cult members see it the opposite.

  but... what can you say about her wearing and hair style?.

  it's cool, but it's "non-spiritual" style, not for "true" jw, isn't it ?!

  @idrankseawater - I have family in Jamaica and in some PARTS of Jamaica they can have goatees where as in the areas with more tourists the brothers are more apprehensive about having them. On a small island such as that there are TWO differing ideas on something like facial hair. So I can imagine if there are those from other countries who look at you and say things like that they are basing thier views on what they see on a day to day basis in thier own small world.

  If no one is harrassing you about what you are wearing locally do not worry about what people outside your community are saying about you

  @idranktheseawater I salute you for standing up for what you believe and making others informed about this matter.

  I am glad that Watchtower has seen with your syndrome that it is beyond your control. That you are born that way and Jehovah understands that...

  I just hope one day that they finally get it through their thick skulls that Homosexuality should be seen the same way. People are born that way, and expecting them to control sexual urges that he placed there is not natural either.

  For instance the Bible specifically says let a rotten saying not proceed from ones mouth. If they were to take action against you for that because of the way you were bron that would be disgusting of them.

  The Bible also mentions how Jehovah supposedly felt about homosexuals or so they say, yet they condemn individuals for that and they are born that way.

  Maybe the honchos at Bethel will get as smart as you and realize somethings are just understood better in this day and age
