Confession Time - Music You're Embarrassed to Admit Listening To
by Simon inadmit it, we all have things that we reel off when people ask what our favourite music is, just the same as if people ask what our favourite movies are.
we're meant to say "citizen kane" and "casablanca" and not "battleship" or "pacific rim" but we know what we're going to watch if they are ever on tv at the same time (and which ones we've never actually seen).. so how about some confession time?
what do you listen to when no one else is in the house?.

What is wrong with Hollyweird?
by LoveUniHateExams inso, the trailer for the new batwoman series was released a few days ago.. proof positive that hollywood, cw network and other movie/tv producers live in their own bubble and are continuing to push their sjw agenda.. the trailer itself has unbelievable levels of cringe at times.. batwoman happens to be a woman (if you hadn't already guessed) and an out and proud lesbian.
of course, there's nothing wrong with any of this, it just feels so forced.
within a few seconds of the trailer you get some girl-on girl action, just to hammer home the sexuality thing.

Hollywood's version of "empowering women" is to stick a hot curvy one in a tight costume, usually with plenty of kinky overtones (leather, short skirt, bodice, long boots) and make sure she has great eye makeup and lipstick which is put to good use when pouting.
And more often than not, they have the women take on all the same stereotypical bad boy attributes that they claim to despise in men. Apparently women can't be brave heroic and strong unless they are tough hate filled lesbians who are not only fighting crime, but who are out to get revenge on men in general.

Watkins is going to have it rough in Prison....I hear even among hardened criminals, a child molester is the worst of the worst.
It makes you wonder what effect this will have on the congregation...will people be leaving in droves. How they explain away the fact that the meetings went on as usual, new members were being baptized yet Jehovah didn't bring this mans wrongdoing to light all these decades. It as only when the victims were old enough to speak for themselves, that this guy was stopped. Why bother praying for Jehovah's help and direction at all?

It looks nice but why the sudden need for yet another Bible? What I'm seeing is another product that they can sell to their 8 million built in JW customers.

What would happen if Jepthas daughter disobeyed and got married anyway?
by nowawake14 inwould jehovah kill her?
or would she be shunned by her religion as a whole?
say anything you would think of..

Pete Zahut, can I assume you are a man? Then, I can understand why it doesn't matter to you. Women might not view it the same way. It is a reminder to jw women how low they are in the hierarchy in the WTS. Probably lower than a dog.
Yes I'm a man and believe it or not, it does matter to me what happens to women. Lot's of men (the majority) do care very much but typically, just as it is in many areas of life, one only hears about those who are doing the wrong thing. Men(especially white men) are the last societal group left where it's OK to stereotype them unfairly based on the actions of the few.
In re-reading my comment, I suppose I could have been more clear. My intent was to sarcastically point out the irony that in the Bible, even when they have a significant part in many of the noteworthy accounts, women are so lowly that they often aren't even mentioned by name ie: Jeptha's daughter, Lot's Wife and Daughters.

I would think no Jewish man would have married her knowing of her father's vow to God.
Jeptha's daughter didn't even get her name mentioned in the story so why should anyone wonder how things went for her...she was only a woman ?
I wonder how things went for lot's daughters in that regard. Neither were mentioned by name but both endured the trauma of seeing their own mother smitten before their own eyes. Both were unmarried and intentionally had children by their own father. Even Jerry Springer would think twice about discussing that situation.

Our Spiritual Heritage of Failed Expectations
by neat blue dog inlast sunday's watchtower tells the story of a man who:.
was baptized in 1908 at the age of 20. he was very confident that he would soon receive his reward.
in fact, when he proposed marriage in 1911, he told his prospective bride, pearl: “you know what is going to happen in 1914. if we are going to get married, we better do it soon!” did this christian couple give up the race for life when they did not receive their heavenly reward in 1914?

I would think they'd shy away from saying anything that reminded everyone how wrong they were about 1914 and or saying anything about people who thought they were going to live forever but ended up dying before the new system came. I imagine such an example might have the opposite effect that they thought it would....they are so dumb.
He told his prospective bride, Pearl: “You know what is going to happen in 1914. If we are going to get married, we better do it soon!”
Pearl: " You're the Cat's Pajamas even though you're a Russelite but even so, I know that the Bible say's "Cast not your Pearl before swine....so as far as I'm concerned, the engagement is off !

“You know how I know that they're finished out there? The carts.”
by Athanasius inthe watchtower's many legal problems and the jws' use of carts in their preaching work, reminded me of a scene and dialog from the film patton.. in a scene where patton is viewing a battle site the morning after, he says to an aide about the nazis: “you know how i know that they're finished out there?
in my dreams i saw the carts.
they kept buzzing around in my head and i couldn't figure out why.

A friend of mine just got back from Disneyland. He said there were JW's with carts stationed outside the Disneyland Hotel where he was staying .
He said "I'll bet they never have to restock those carts...no one was paying any attention to them. The only reason I knew what they were doing was because you told me about them. What a huge waste of time....why don't they just attach a rack to the wall with a sign that says "TAKE ONE"?

Remember how we were all "encouraged" to each have our own personal subscription to the Watchtower? It was a sure fire way for them to bring in a steady income that they could count on receiving from their built in customer base.
I'm waiting for them to announce that in the spirit of loyalty and appreciation for Jehovahs loving arrangements, all spiritually mature JW's must have an online subscription so they can log on to jworg and access the materials needed for the up coming meeting.
8 million JW's paying $5 per month could garner them an extra $480 million per year.

U.S. Supreme Court Denies Watchtower’s Certiorari Plea

Because of that the judge ruled that Watchtower should pay over 4 million dollars to the plaintiff.
They'll probably hold one day A$$emblies every month until that little annoyance from Satan, is cleared up.
