Why is it ...
by Frequent_Fader_Miles ini might be a fader, but my question still stands.
why is it that i can marry a perfectly decent "worldly" man - good provider, never married, no children, generous ... yet i'm "marked"; while another "sister" can wait out for a presently "married" brother who admits he loves her, claims his marriage is problematic, claims he's getting a divorce ... and no one bats an eyelid?
do they really believe the stupid "jw tag" is sooooo valuable?

If eating unbled meat is taboo ...
by Frequent_Fader_Miles inthen why is it okay to eat unbled fish?
the dictionary categorizes "meat" as the "flesh of any animal, especially a mammal".
chicken and turkey are considered meats, though they aren't mammals.

For you "sisters" who married in the "Truth"...
by Frequent_Fader_Miles injust a poll question.
at the first convention/ assembly following your wedding ... did you parade around the convention site gloating in other sisters' faces, showing off your new husband?
i've never done it, but i can't help but suspect that others do.

The "perfect human" being ...
by Frequent_Fader_Miles inaccording to the jw belief, what definition/explanation were you given for the concept of "human perfection"?
what exactly would make a "perfect human" ... well... perfect?.
i remember once when i was a child, my mom told me that when i decided on my adult profession, i should make sure it's one i would be able to use in the "new system".

Aaaah yes ... what a privilege to be a Pie-On-Air..
by Frequent_Fader_Miles inyes people, it's that time of year again!
it's the time when all dubs are "encouraged" to pioneer.
in my neck of the woods, the streets are crawling with them, standing under the burning under the hot sun, trying to "make their hours" before heading off to work in the morning.
