  he was 21 years old.. two days ago we were working together on a wrap for his a/c unit on his bus.. out of blue, he says "i still miss it dad.

  not the religion.

  Potential Truthiness

  by Terry in

  1. jw

  potential truthiness?.

  the comedian stephen colbert wrote a book, "truthiness".truthiness is the belief or assertion that a particular statement is true based on the intuition or perceptions of some individual or individuals, without regard to evidence, logic, intellectual examination, or facts.. to me, this perfectly defines the term: potential.as in "potentially true" or "potentially lying.".

  such labels poison relationships destroying reputations.potential labels are subtle and also just under the radar of committing libel or defamation legally.. that key word is "potential" positing a shadowy inference, suspicion, propaganda point.do you feel me?do you understand the point i'm making?.

  Koreans Becoming Disillusioned with christianity

  at the start of sydney's lockdown, family gossip told me that a relative who is a pastor, was telling his church members, "you cant catch the coronavirus in church.

  "i've hear nothing since, but its interesting that in south korea, a major outbreak was traced to a south korean church that had organised a series of recruiting campaigns in china's wuhan city.. .

  now, the hongkong based newspaper, the south china morning post (one of the best informed news outlets in asia) says that south koreans are getting pissed off withe the jesus mob.

  How do you switch off the thoughts of being raised JW and feelings of anger

  by Zeds Dead in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  raised as a jo blow and married into it.

  37 years in it and now last 7 years out of it which feels great.. have memories of being a kid in school in the uk and just hating everything about being the jw kid.

  bullied, embarrassed in front of others and self-esteem went into the toilet.wished i was born into a different family.. what angers me is the messaging i would receive at home when i talked about being bullied.

  So the elders gave my 19 year old daughter a shepharding call depression ensues!

  by nowwhat? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  against our wishes she got baptised at 16 because she got brainwashed by her cousin.

  the last year or so she hasn't been so gung ho about the "truth".

  anyway the elders came down on her for not getting her time in the last couple months because she absolutely hates zoom letter writing.

  Message to the UK gov: let all Afghan interpreters in!

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. current

  yeah, so apparently only two afghan interpreters have been allowed to settle in the uk, along with their immediate family.

  this is good but nowhere near good enough.. there are still approx.

  40 more translators still trying to survive in afghanistan.. the threat to these people and their families are the taliban and isis-linked terrorists.
