in 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?.
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.
why the anticipation?.
"no one knows the day or hour", i thought?.
i knew this very mentally unstable jw woman years ago.
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.
i 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.
all 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.
presidential hopeful ben carson of course.
this isn't another gun control debate, i just thought it might be fun to have a topic where we can dump all the hysterical quotes from the candidates.. it's a deep and plentiful mine folks!
.
Boehner said, "I quit!"
I thought that was pretty funny.
i 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.
we talk a lot about most jws being uneducated, uninformed, and that they lack critical thinking skills, but in my area there is a lot of jws that went to the university, medical school, law school, and came back to the organization.
in my circuit, that i know of, we had two electrical engineers, one computer engineer with a ph.d. eight teachers with a bachelors degree and three of those with a masters in education.
we had two medical doctors, one was a pediatrician who closed his business about 3 years ago and went to bethel.
I would imagine that some of that has to do with the local culture. Some areas have more of this than others. I believe they might see someone else do it and get away with it and then follow suit.
It can all be justified by saying they will volunteer their skills to bethel.
that's right folks time to kick back , pour a cold one and in take in some tunes.. what are you listening to right now ?

what is a cult and what is a religion?
its open to debate.
who has the authority to say for certain what is a cult and what is a religion?
Richard is either 14 or he sounds like he is because he's been denied an adequate education.
Richard, hon, learn the rules of debate if you want to engage in one.
