And, ain't that America?
The right criticizes the Muslims,
While the left criticizes the Christians.
I'm pretty sure that if you're a Fundamentalist anything, that's a problem.

Islam is the Epitome of Misogyny
by cofty inin this video the popular saudi cleric sheik yahya al-jana discusses the joys of paradise, saying that men will have the strength of a hundred men in paradise and will be busy tearing hymens, while the virgins of paradise, whose breasts are like pomegranates, become virgins every time again.. the cleric also explains it is mostly men who enter paradise noting that women in general are bad because they refuse to wear the veil, they wear tight clothes in shopping malls, put on perfume and jewelry, and use filthy social media platforms.
source.... this is what young men from conservative muslim families are raised on.
is it any wonder islamic countries treat women appallingly?.

Do they realize how culty it sounds to refer to themselves as "one of" Jehovah's Witnesses rather than "a Jehovah's Witness?"
Probably not.

by The Searcher inrecently shared this with me.. they compared the tiredness they felt after attending an assembly and meetings, and noted how much worse it was than actually working and studying hard for hours for their secular employment!

no, it wasn't satan.

When I registered this complaint with my mother years ago her reply was, "Well, there's nothing new under the sun. Jehovah's truth always remains the same."

Hey, Oubliette. I went to bed last night before I saw your question.
When I say "Keep your superstitions to yourselves." I mean religious people who are incontinent with their religious views, particularly those who use their views as an excuse to effect changes in laws that require others to give them deference or change themselves and their public life in order to appease said religious folks.
Sorry, not a perfect sentence, but I'm still working on my first cup of coffee. :)

Look, I'm a liberal. I'm even a liberal liberal. But, I am absolutely done with this radical muslim stuff. I'm over it.
I'm also done with the conservative christian stuff. I'm totally over people protesting contraception. I'm completely over it.
I'm not interested in your crap and I'm not accepting you pushing your views on me.
I'm actually completely over religion being a protected group. Keep your superstitions to yourselves.

November 1 they will probably switch over to the "no one knows the day nor hour" refrain.
It's a nice circular and sealed belief system.

Found Nephew. Sisters incredible reaction.
by umbertoecho ini won't make this long.
i went out again and found him.
got in through the back door, pushed him to wake up, got him out, fed him, watered him and said he was family and i have a plan.. we talked all day, i let him do what he does, in order not to scare him about the future change that could happen for him.

He's suffering from a mental health condition and she's worried about his smoking?
Really they would prefer everyone to be "whitewashed graves." They look good on the outside, but are filled with decay.
He can be desperately mentally ill, but as long as his clothes smell good all is well.
Crazy people. I mean cray-cray.

Mandatory Reporters of Child Abuse
by Dissonant15 inall states in the us mandate health care workers and teachers to report suspected child abuse to law enforcement.
this year our commonwealth expanded the law to include clergy, and to include a mandatory two hour training on what to look for and how to report, required for all mandatory reporters.. my coworker at the hospital said she and her husband did the training together, because her husband volunteers in the sunday school at the church, they required him to take it too.
i asked several witnesses when this law came into effect if all the elders and ms are going to be taking the training and everyone looked at me like i was an alien and they had no idea what the heck i was talking about.

I can tell you that working in the schools in the state of Maryland, we not only have to report abuse, but SUSPECTED abuse. The state makes it clear that it is NOT our job to determine if abuse actually occurred. That is the state's job to determine.
And I need to personally report it to the state. I cannot just report it to the school system. So, there can be no intermediary. If it were to be found out that I knew of or suspected abuse, but did not report, then I lose my job.
For example, if a child repeatedly shows up at school with bruises, I would have to report.
If I overheard students talking about abuse, I would have to report.
I think this is what makes me the angriest about the Witnesses. They think they can decide whether or not there was abuse.
That's not their job.
I know teachers and healthcare providers have to report by law in Maryland, but, unfortunately, I don't think clergy are mandatory reporters.
This needs to change.

heartbroken and not sure what to do...
by Khaleesi ini don't know what to do.... i married last year and things have been very rocky.
we dated for 4 years and did have normal issues but always had a lingering doubt something was just not right in our relationship-behavior to be more specific, he is not a jw, but i am.
yes i know i married outside the "lord" but after my first marriage to a jw ended in divorce for physical abuse, i was glad i didn't married another jw.

Sounds like you are going to have to make major concessions if you want to stay in this marriage.
Your sex drives are so mismatched. Even if you get him to be intimate a little more often, you are likely never going to get sex from him 5 times a week.
If you can't live with that, it's good you found out early in the marriage so you can cut your losses.
