  last night i ran into a former elder friend, he is in his late 70s.

  he asked how i was doing and i asked how he was doing.

  then out of the blue he tells me; .

  My husband watched the broadcast and just sat there saying: 'they're wrong...'

  He also says things like: 'If I die of old age in this system...'

  I just wish he'd wake up and realise its all crap.

  Interestingly, while still in dub-mode, I noted that I was an INTJ...I'm pretty much the polar opposite now.

  scotus: kentucky clerk must issue same-sex marriage licenses.

  by ariane de vogue, cnn supreme court reporter.

  updated 8:02 pm et, mon august 31, 2015. let's hope this is the final screech from the haters who wrap themselves in the bible - or their egoist political philosophy i doubt it will be, but let's hope..

  This cannot be done. You cannot jail Kim for refusing to issue a license for same-sex marriage on moral grounds, because she is an elected official, put in place by public choice as a protector of public interest, which means that her actions and opinions matter. Jail is not an option, if anyone disagrees, impeachment proceedings are the appropriate action for defying a judge, and since the [Kentucky] public vastly agrees with her not allowing same-sex marriage, there is little chance anyone would ever get her impeached.

  Sorry, but that's just the facts.

  monday is a holiday.......so a super zealous brother asks me....."are you going out in service then?.

  absolutely the last thing i would want to do!.

  If I ever go in the ministry again, I'll ask to work alone and either pretend knock, or actually un-witness to people...

  Maybe they're creating suspense in the r&f, like they did when they released the 'silver sword'.

  Homo sapiens is also missing (let alone the missing links in between)

  by iconoclastic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the word sapiens (from latin, meaning wise) when applied to humans as final evolute, it is understood that humans manifest wisdom in their day-to-day living.

  one of the features of being wise (which means having/showing experience, knowledge, and good judgment) is about replacing wastages with something better.

  is this being done with regard to many of the greater aspects of our lives?.

  Well, I meant that just because something is truth, doesn't mean people will believe in it. It's only when you really think about the mechanics of evolution that it starts to make sense as the only way we're all here.

  Nice little summary by Barbara Anderson re dear old Geoffrey GB and "presumptuousness"...

  jw governing body claims to be the faithful slave.

  did you know how (in sworn testimony during the recent australian royal commission hearing) governing body member geoffrey jackson responded to the question, do you see yourselves as jehovahs spokespeople on earth?.

  jackson replied, that, i think, would seem to be quite presumptuous to say that we are the only spokesperson that god is using.. really?

  Nobody mentioned Deborah because then the Watchtower would have to do away with its male-dominated belief system.

  i have looked at the jw talk forums every now and again.

  is it any use making a profile to get in?

  mainly just to laugh at the pathetic discussion that they carry on with.

  I did, it probably got deleted now due to inactivity. Plus, you have to answer questions like: what's the current KM say...?
  

  I know of other ex-jws who have one, but they have to post regularly and not post anything too controversial...so, basically joining the WT again.
