Dawkins also said he would still refer to a person as their preferred gender ‘identity’ out of courtesy - that's fine, but I wonder how Dawkins feels about the other 99 made-up, bullshit genders? Whatever, Dawkins is free to do that, and other people are free to say that they believe trans women aren't women, and to use whatever pronouns they wish.

NB - the social games humans play are a two-way street.

ex mormon learning a little about JW

by curious777 in

hello friends.

i am an ex mormon who got a little bit obsessed with cults and how they work, after leaving the church.. recently i have been very interested in learning about the structure of jw because i find it very similar in some ways to how the mormon church is organized, except with different names for everything.. i have some questions:.

does the love bomb stop the moment you get baptized?

LoveUniHateExams

Does the love bomb stop the moment you get baptized? - yes. At least they stopped love-bombing me after I got baptised.

Do they force you to speak publiccly, even if you have difficulties doing it ? - not literally 'force' but they expect you to and 'encourage' (cajole) you to speak publicly.

Do they force you to give public speeches about a theme, or force you to go give a prayer to everybody as soon as you are a newly convert, and extremely introvert with stage fright and anxiety? - similar to the above answer, they cajole you to give a group prayer as a newly-baptised member.

is your average JW also a double standart type of person? I mean: Do they actually follow what they preach? Do they really believe in their hearts what they teach and learn? - I don't know the percentage of JWs who ignore the rules and the percentage of those who obey. What I will say is this: the JW leaders do a good job of scaring ordinary JWs. Most JWs who secretly have sex outside of marriage would be terrified that they will die at Armageddon.

Re the lack of love-bombing you experienced in the Kingdom Hall, this was because you were a curious outsider. If you were a person who was studying the Bible with JWs (a 'bible study') you would have been love-bombed. The JWs are stingy with their love-bombing, lol.

BTW your English is good.

The Rise of Skywalker (2019) - how much crack was JJ Abrams smoking when he made this? lol (spoilers)

by LoveUniHateExams in

i saw the rise of skywalker (2019) a few weeks ago.. and it is totally crazy, lol, it has everything but the kitchen sink.. i can somewhat feel for writer/director jj abrams because rian johnson went f**k up in the previous film.. e.g.

in the force awakens (2015), abrams introduced snoke, but then in the last jedi (2017) johnson killed him off, the same thing happened to luke.. but that doesn't really hide hollywood hack abrams from criticism of this movie.

bringing back emperor palpatine - i mean, really?.

Lloyd Evans removing comments he does not like, just like the cult

by mickbobcat in

i see posts that evans does not seem to like being removed.

i guess he is not a lot different than the control cult he left.

his rebuttal to the zoom assembly he said that dawkins made some silly comments about gender.

LoveUniHateExams

Dawkins’ opinions about transsexuals (expressed on Twitter 🤦‍♂️), and Evans’ views thereof, are irrelevant tangents from Dawkins expertise as a biologist - utter nonsense.

Dawkins, is indeed, an expert on biology. And biology is intimately connected to gender.

The vast majority of women are cisgender, i.e. the vast majority of human biological females are women.

Dawkins knows whereof he speaks. Trans activists have a dubious relationship with scientific reality.

LoveUniHateExams

@truth_be_known - the original trilogy wasn't perfect, or perfectly planned (Lucas made up a few things on the fly, such as Vader being Luke's father and Leia being Luke's sister) but the original 3 films had a road map, one creative person overseeing everything.

The sequel trilogy has no road map. None at all. Kathleen Kennedy brought in different directors after firing a few, and told Rian Johnson to take the story where he wanted. Then Jar Jar Abrams was brought back and shat out this turd of a movie.

You're right, the sequel trilogy is a complete train wreck.

The dude was thrown to his death and then blown up with the second Death Star in Return of the Jedi (1983).

What did I like about this movie? Well, it looked nice, and Adam Driver is a very good actor. He stole a few scenes because of his acting ability.

But there is sooo much wrong with this movie. The return of Palpatine, Rey's strength in The Force is OP as f**k. True, Abrams put in a training scene but it felt so shoe-horned in. He'd obviously listened to fans complaining about Rey being a Mary Sue and thought 'yeah, they do have a point'.

And the McGuffins. Jesus Christ, it felt like a damn video game.

You gotta get a way-finder, then get a Sith dagger, then get this, then find this guy who knows how to wipe C-3PO's memory so that he can translate the Sith writing on the dagger. Then Rey takes the dagger, holds it up in front of her face, the dagger's outline matches up with the outline of the Death Star wreckage, and so that's where the way-finder is. Brilliant!

And who can forget the Resistance fighters attacking on the wing of a Star Destroyer … riding f**king space-horses!!! All the pilots of the Star Destroyer have to do is dip their wings, then the good guys will fall to their deaths. C'mon, this crap ain't difficult to work out.

I find it hard to take JJ Abrams seriously as a film maker - he's just a hack.

Here's a scene in which Palpatine shoots a huge amount of force lightening into the sky. Yayyy!!! Just look at the pretty explosions.

All news media are biased but there is a specific issue with woke-ism infecting a lot of mainstream media.

You have to sometimes wade through bullshit to get to the truth.

"Young people ask" book claims 97% youth masturbatory or seen porn...not J.W youth??

by Witness 007 in
