Do you think that race is a factor in education in the U.S.

by recovering in

i was wondering if racial bias is a factor in u.s. education?.

would you be concerned if it was?

why would you be concerned?.

Crazyguy

No, education has gone in the toilet all over the US. Probably the only factor is how much money does the families have In the district.

Medical marijuana

by Mikethegreek in

hey everyone.... i'm new to this but i would like to run my experience with medical marijuana past you.

i'm 48 years of age and have been in the truth for my whole life.. i suffer from ankylosing spondilitis and have for many many years.

it's a debilitating form of spinal arthritis and the symptoms of this auto-immune disorder affect more than my spine.

I have a child in my home that takes CBD to help with lung issues connected to a bigger over all problem. As far as the JWs I heard of one brother that was able to use it and then switched to another congregation as was dfd for using it.

Do You Think Many Jehovah’s Witnesses Truly Believe?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i did for many years even if i had doubts that i would put on the back burner.

but i thought the majority of witnesses believed, even if they were “weak” in the faith.. obviously, we have elders , pioneers and ministerial servants that are here and they are not true believers.. do you think many jws simply do not believe what they are preaching?

?.

Crazyguy

I would say 85 percent believe most of the crap.

What is the most troubling or disturbing biblical passage you ever had to rationalise when a Jw?

by stuckinarut2 in

now that we have stepped away from the jw faith, how do you feel about the bible itself?.

what about those awkward sections of scripture?

how did you rationalise or justify those sections?.

Where the great Jah tortures David son to death over a 7 day and night period of time for something his father did for David’s son is just a new born baby!

Another one I found a couple of years ago is in Ephesians where it says the Jah “like the sweet smell of his sons burnt flesh or sacrifice “ can’t remember the exact words. Disgusting!!!

To big to fail

by pepperheart in

some people think the watchtower is to big to fail.

i dont because a lot of the branch offices around the world (about 70 i think) are in the third world they are not paying the full cost of running them and so the american branch is having to find the money,so if they got $1 billion dollars betwwen 70 branches that is only$ 25 million a year.per branch.if each branch has 500 people working there and they spend just $1 a day for food each person that works out at £35,000 just for the food alone .

The masses of JWs are so deluded they’ll support them forever , the only thing that’s could derail this is if the child abuse scandal gets even bigger, which may happen. As of now most JWs don’t even know there is a child abuse scandal.

Free exchange of ideas

by recovering in

i have noticed a paradigm shift on this site .

we used to be able to express opposing viewpoints without being subjected to name calling and censorship.

i wish we could return to how the board used to function.

Crazyguy

It’s good to not get involved with political discussions on boards like this one. In the end those people running the board will sensor those that don’t agree with them, happens just about every time. That’s why I like to stay on JWs subjects or ones that could effect the JWs discussion because in the end isn’t that what this forum is all about?

I saw The Last Jedi yesterday ... spoilers!

by LoveUniHateExams in

yeah i saw ep 8 tlj yesterday.. first off, the special effects - a combination of cgi and practical - are fantastic, although with a budget of $200 million i expect them to be.. there are many issues i have with this movie and here's one: leia flying through space, i mean, wtf?!.

yes, we know leia is luke's brother and so has some force-sensitivity - she talked telepathically to luke in the empire strikes back.. apart from that, she's never really used any abilities she may have or been taught the ways of the force ... and now she's flying through space!

xd.

Will The Governing Body's Shunning Policy Backfire On Them Eventually?

by Brokeback Watchtower in

we all can agree that the disfellowshipping arrangement benefits the wt corporation by keeping the indoctrinated in servitude, make members afraid to doubt the corporation's teachings and explanations because they can be disfellowshipped for saying anything negative about the corporation or it's ceos or not agreeing with some new light.. but what about negative effects caused by the harsh use of disfellowshipping to the corporation, what could they be?

it's a two edged sword..

Crazyguy

They have been doing this since the early 80s and people just get used to this vile treatment think it’s nothing but normal.
