These illegal immigrants arriving on our shores should be met by the Royal Navy on approaching British waters and turned around and sent South back to France. France is not a war torn country, they are perfectly safe there -

Or, we could stop sending the RNLI to rescue them, and JUST LET THEM DROWN. Not nice, but it would discourage more from doing it.

St George has it right.

Migrants are swapping the relative safety of France for the dangers of the English Channel ... in rubber f**king dinghies.

And what about parents putting their children into rubber dinghies. To all parents on this forum - you wouldn't put your children in danger, would you?

Any parents who have done that have totally failed their children, no question.

Absolute insanity.

A word has to be said about the people smugglers, too. We should just send in the army or armed police or anti-terrorist squads, and wipe them out. No fucking around, just shoot the bastards.

freedom of speech and loss of rights

by enoughisenough in

i was thinking about freedom of speech after watching a clip about the jw suing kevin mcfree.

they wanted to take away his freedom of speech.

but in thinking about it, that is the way of the organization, save they want to control thought as well.

Well, Thank God for the Internet - yes, and for a free press, too

Are the teachings of JW—consistent?

by Fisherman in

i would belief so but if you can point something out, it can be discussed.. i don’t mean what jw taught in the past that they later realized was not correct and amended.

—unless you think and can show something like that is relevant.. i’ve spoken to a lot of believers from different religions.

i don’t want to bash any religion here under this topic but their beliefs are inconsistent and their reasons are sophistry and made up and grounded on circular reasoning.

Q: Are the teachings of The Watchtower consistent?

A: Yes, they are consistently dumb.

List of Things We Were NOT Allowed To Do as JW's

by Sea Breeze in

jw
friends

here's my list of jw no-no's as i recall: .

1. no giving or accepting valentine candy for students.

2. no going to home coming football games.

LoveUniHateExams

no one has listed the various sex donts - ok, right ...

No gay relationships at all

No girl-boy sex outside of marriage

No oral sex within marriage*

No anal sex within marriage (even when it's the wife who wants it more than the husband )*

No heavy petting or dry humping outside marriage*

No holding hands unless marriage is definitely gonna happen - yes, really

Is that it? I think I've covered most of the bases here.

Don't get me wrong - I think marriage is a noble, worth-while institution that we should keep.

It's just that the way the WTS goes about making petty rules and policing people 24-7 in all aspects of their lives. It's insane ...

* there is a little flexibility on some of these points. JW married couples can do oral and anal, so long as they don't talk about it to any JW, ever.

It's been a long 9 years Lloyd Evans / John Cedars

original reddit post (removed).

The first weeks/months were hard however I became heartened when people stopped and started thinking with their logical brains after the emotions settled down - we're with you, Kim.

You've done nothing wrong. You went public about Sweaty Neckbeard due to genuine concerns that this man shouldn't have anything to do with CSA issues because of his dalliances with people who sell sex.

Hold your head up, you've got nothing to be ashamed of - nothing.

Roy Devans, on the other hand

Manipulation through emitional acting?

by road to nowhere in

we had a co talk touching on resurrection, death, seeing family again.

the brother went into scenarios about his family, complete with tears.

i question getting that emotional every time he gives this talk.

LoveUniHateExams

There was emotional acting by the JWs ages ago when I studied The Greatest Man book at the Tuesday house study.

There was emotional manipulation when Jesus got crucified. Some shit about iron nails hammered through flesh, tearing ligaments, etc.

Crazy shit worked on me at the time.

I guess I ain't the smartest guy

Dirt floors in Africa, Ultra modern Towers in Indonesia

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

matthew 19:21. jesus said to him, “if you will to be perfect, go away, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven, and come, follow me.”.

jw family tanzania - bukombe kingdom hall.

nothing like attending your local kingdom hall in africa with dirt floors, tarps as a roof, brutal heat with no air-conditioning, and small wooden benches to sit on after a hard days work.. does the society help this congregation in africa with a suitable kingdom hall that would have the local members more comfortable with these unbearable conditions?.

There are haves and have nots in this world, sadly.

I get why you posted the OP, the WTS preaches that all JWs are brothers, so there should be equality in the religion.

But there's not.

There is no equality in this world. Because there can't be. Our species, Homo sapiens, has evolved to live in hierarchical groups. This means that there will always be poor people and people at the top, rich bastards.

Sorry, that's just the way it is - a world where everyone has the exact same amount in the bank is impossible.
