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.
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
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.
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.
F**king long list

hello guysi never knew this forum existed!
it still seems quite active.
i'd love to hear from any folk from perth, wa.
a simple " me" if you dont want to say more--or a short explanation about who is shunning you and how long has this been going on.. i'll set the ball rolling: my daughter--her husband and children; my younger son --no contact from them for 40 years...because i left their religion.. (edit--i just noticed the typo in the header--if should be of ).
I'm out the cult but I'm being kinda 'soft-shunned' by two members of my family (who AREN'T JWs, lol).
My aunt has stopped inviting me to her house after we clashed a bit in July 2017. She didn't know that black Africans sold other black Afruicans into slavery, lol.
But I'm still facebook friends with her, as I am with her daughter, my cousin. She must have seen some of my feminist-critical FB posts over the past few years. The last time I saw her was in 2018.
My cousin is also a passionate Remainer as well as a full-on feminazi. And I voted Leave. This also might have something to do with it.
ultimate justice means that conduct is not inconsequential.
.
Do I believe in 'ultimate justice'?
Well, I believe serial killers and child rapists should be put to death by the state, if that's what you mean.
Time for a Velvet Revolution in the U.K - what does this mean? Spell it out, please.
it's shocking how they have destroyed the economy in less than a week - completely disagree.
The UK national debt currently stands at approx. £2 trillion.
And that is due to the bank crash of 2008, the spending of Labour governments, the spending of Tory governments, Boris Johnson pissing money away on Covid lockdowns, giving billions away to Ukraine, etc.
Don't believe everything you read in the mainstream media.
Re the current economic plan of Liz Truss - we'll just have to see. It's a huge gamble and could go seriously wrong.
original reddit post (removed).
Re the speculation about whether Lloyd could be gay ... I seriously doubt it.
Lloyd seems to be a classic narcissist. He also has bullying tendencies when things don't go his way.
On this forum alone, he embraced victimhood whilst telling soft+gentle to 'fuck off', and calling Slimboyfat an 'arsewipe'. Thank goodness all these old threads are kept so that Lloyd's posts are there for people to read later on.
"I have cheated on my wife with sex workers and somebody (Kim) has told the world - poor me!"
Load of f**king bullsh*t
