what unique to jws phrases do you remember?
something fun for those of us taught to speak an entirely unique and pure language.
there have been posts in the past in this forum but perhaps some have new ones after having kept up with jehovah's chariot as the light gets brighter.
Kingdom Hall....like seriously the worse thing to call your church I can think of.
The Good News....the only good news I wanted to hear was that the meeting was cancelled.
Torture Stake.....seriously, like what the fudge!
Talk....Brother Stick in the Mud will now give the talk on....Sermon Dude! It's a flippen sermon.
A Spiritual brother/sister....This is one who has his nose really deep in the Circuit Overseers ass so far, he knows what he ate for dinner last night.
i was wondering how many of us have switched to a vegetarian or vegan diet and why.
i'm not doing it but have friends who do.
lovely people and seem very healthy.
Going vegan or vegetarian is a big missed steak.
i admit to not being very well informed about the watchtower's view on blood transfusions.
i have a couple of questions that i hope someone here is able to answer.. i understand that the watchtower now considers it to be okay to receive blood fractions.. my first question is: are all fractions considered to be permissible?
and if not, specifically which fractions are not permissible?.
I was just in the hospital last month and needed a plasma infusion. Long story short, they didn't have my blood type on hand and it was an emergency situation. Because of laziness on my part, I never had my medical records updated on me NOT being a JW. (That is fixed now) I awoke to some judgemental asshole from the hospital liaison committee asking why I was hooked up to plasma. He even came right out and said to me, "You know you are sinning against Jehovah?" Before I had the hospital staff throw his ass out, I told him, "Oh, no you are mistaken! I had the hospital put all the acceptable fractions together in one bag, and that is what they are giving me." Here I am suffering from major blood loss and all he could think was I might be taking something not on the approved list!
.....it would appear that the republic of ireland (not the uk) is responsible under eu law for the setting up of a hard border with its non-eu neighbour, northern ireland.
just as spain had to do with ceuta in morocco.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ceuta_border_fence.
a 310 mile border would cost a helluva lot to build and to cover with security.
Wait! You mean the EU REQUIRES you to build a physical barrier bordering a non EU country? Yo! TRUMP! join the EU and build that wall! (For those without humor, that is a joke)
after all he only had 3 and half years to perform his ministry so every day counted.
instead of witnessing to satan couldn't he have made better use of his time reaching as many people as possible?
just using some jdub reasoning on the matter..
Since the topic veered off to the famous talking snake....
Loving Jehovah never warns Adam and eve about a roaring lion on the prowl. Its like a father not warning his children about a child predator in the neighborhood, who would anytime pounce on his children.
And Eve is not surprised about a talking snake and has normal conversations with it. If it sounds like a fairy tale, for sure it is.
Maybe that's why JW's don't warn members in the congregations of pedophiles in their ranks? Just following the example of their loving god.
... will they take it upon themselves to warn their bible studies of pedophile activity in the congregations so they can protect their children, or will the cycle of abuse continue with the attitude of letting new ones take their chances along with the rest of us?.
What did the actual footnote state?
Whether an individual who has suffered abuse should seek qualified professional help is a personal decision.
... will they take it upon themselves to warn their bible studies of pedophile activity in the congregations so they can protect their children, or will the cycle of abuse continue with the attitude of letting new ones take their chances along with the rest of us?.
I heard thru the grapevine that in my old congregation that the Elder who conducted the WT study announced before the study that if anyone was abused, please don't share the experience during the study but wait till after and talk with any Elder. Could you imagine if people started to speak up and talk about it during the study!?! I think I would actually attend to see that.
cardi-b, who is an american rapper, singer, songwriter, actress, and television personality, admits in an old video of drugging and stealing from men.
if the roles were reversed, do you think this would be a front page story instead of being buried on the back page?
why isn't the progressive left demanding justice?

as you are completely barred from talking or being involved in politics while in the org, since leaving has anyone started any political campaigning or activism?
also what way would you lean?
left?
I am liberal socially. I don't care who you sleep with, what you define yourself, and what you want to smoke. Just don't make me support your choices by my tax monies. I am conservative in that I don't want government telling me what I can do. It's none of their business.
i have a few and built two 80% lowers.
just got a larue two stage trigger.
i can get 2moa out of it at 100 yards with a nikon 223 scope.
.233 for deer? Wow! Yes, it CAN kill a deer if it is close but isn't a great choice and can cause much suffering for the animal. Try the .270 which is simply a .30-06 case with a tighter neck to accommodate a smaller bullet diameter. Swift, humane and very accurate.
