those with kids or a spouse in the society..... despite being mentally out....those who have weighed up that there is too much to lose in leaving.

one argument against beards i've heard multiple times, both from individual jws and from the platform is roughly:.

'timothy got circumcised so as not to stumble others!

shouldn't you be thankful you don't have to do that?

hey guys, so now that i’m pretty much atheist and i’m not scared of demons or supernatural things, or bring them into my house by watching movies or reading books about them lol, i defenitly want to watch a few scary movies.
