yes, we could have been born in an alley in calcutta or with the physical deformities associated with thalidomide.
instead, we were born into or introduced to a repressive, american, religious cult, that shielded us from the warmongering game of chess, the militaristic boy scouts, fornication-inducing sock hops, the twist, as well as the hokey pokey.
we heeded the warnings, avoiding the greedy self-worship associated with masturbation, decadent rock 'n roll and anything preceded by the word "extra-curricular.".
There are a few pet peeves I have with this 'religious' org; however, I also recognize there's much to be salvaged in living one's life in an orderly, wholesome manner.
Once some topics are reformed, such as the shunning, baptism of minors, monthly reporting of time/activities, frowning on higher education, I'd probably be okay with all other minor quirks around these WTBTS parts.

one of the things i could never understand is people handing over absolute control to these charlatans.
i know over the years they have bashed owning pets for various reasons.
complete stupidity.
A couple of the members from the GB have pets, so their 'do away with your pet' hints is garbage.
Pets are awesome! We have so much fun with them! Hubby and I love and enjoy our pets very much. Some of our friends and even immediate family have made the stupid comments that we spend too much money for care, food and toys.
Some have gotten the clear point when we've told them that "we can do it, so don't worry about us falling in debt over it", so the little negative comments have stopped recently.
Dogs rock!!!!

this sweet older sister needed help and while trying to download the clm on her tablet, the history showed some porn pictures.
how does someone overlook that and carry on?.
Hey, older people need sexual satisfaction too!
This is just a sign of a still healthy sexual desire, and as I'm sure you all know, there's a bit of a shortage of available/qualified/attractive mature men in the Org. In the 6 Spanish congs I know of around here there is NONE! So a 'mature' sister's gotta do what she's gotta do to cover this neeeeeeed.
These nice 'getting it on' images will help with the mood to get one's freak on.
You go get that orgasm girl!!! The best feeling in life!!!
I hope that with perfection, you know, in paradise, this orgasm bit will even be more intense. That'd be awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

every year in dozens of cities where conventions are being held, newspapers typically write an article about the event.
there are exceptions, but usually it is like the articles above.
i would love to see more newspaper articles that did some actual objective reporting, rather than puff pieces.
Ctrwtf,
Of course..... of course.
All be well.

Focus. The subject is on JW convention attendees as opposed to other type of conventions.
So JWs cherry pick scriptures to justify their beliefs differently than other forms of Christianity, so what! Just another religion.
This does not subtract from the fact that their conventions are very clean, orderly filled with lovely looking people.
Relax.

Relax and accentuate the positive.
It will make you happier! đ

In any conglomerate of people there will exist ALL kinds.
I remember living up North and having to leave the town for a couple of weeks because the bikers would swarm the area; and by the time the last one was gone, the area was trashed to the max, Law Enforcement and the Town's people were spent and highly stressed out, then a couple of months later, here comes the tattoo artists and enthusiasts of New England. Now, I dare anyone to find me a worse crowd of weirdos, misfits and freaks, all that also effortlessly destroyed the place. This continues to happen annually still.
JWs welcomed anytime!!!

There is a clear difference between a JW convention and a convention of bikers or tattoo enthusiasts or politicians, etc., in terms of civil order, peace and cleanliness.
It can be easily noticed by the unbiased/objective journalist that JW conventions on top of the financial gains to the area, also bring orderly, clean, law-abiding, well groomed individuals.
I know...., it is difficult for many in this forum to attach any credit to the WTBTS.

well, last monday my mother, a jehovah's witness since her baptism in 1968 died last week because she would not accept a blood transfusion.
she was 76 and had lung and skin cancer.
i know that the cancer would have gotten her anyway, but she was bleeding internally, and was told that she needs a blood transfusion, as her blood count went all the way down to 3.2 (should be 12-14.
Sadden by your loss.
Your mother died due to lung and skin cancer; internal bleeding cannot be stopped by mere transfusing blood, only elongate the already horrible, painful circumstances.
May the good memories provide you comfort.
