Pre-flood climate according to JW's.
by veen inback in the day i'm pretty sure i was told that the jw's believe that the world was surrounded by a water barrier before the flood which caused the earth's climate to be 'greenhouse like'.
i was lead to believe that there were no polar ice caps before the flood.
is there anything in the jw literature archive which alludes to this theory or was i just told something not supported by the society?

Specific TV, Film, Music or Computer Game references deemed inappropriate?
by veen ini was down the pub tonight and my sister said she went to see 'sex and the city' in the cinema.
i gave a lol and said the title of the film sounds just like something which would be specifically singled out at 'inappropriate for true christians' in a district assembly talk just because of it's title.. .
immediately everyone started having a go saying that what i said sounded like the criticisms of an apostate and if i went to assemblies or meetings or read the literature anymore i would know that they don't single out specific shows etc anymore.. .

JW religion is not all that bad really
by veen ini know we all have issues with the borg, but really i think there are far more despicable religions on the go, namely american style evangelical christianity.
i'm watching a film called 'jesus camp' as i type and all i can say is any of you idiots who post on here who say you left the jw's and have now found jesus are totally retarded.
you really need to get a grip on reality and stop needing religion as a crutch.

Whole day ruined because it's a meeting night?
by veen inat some point nearly every day of the week was soiled by the prospect of some 'spiritual' activity.
it took me years of inactivity before i started seeing tuesdays and thursdays as enjoyable, without a shadow hanging over them.
wednesday was always my favorite day of the week.. .

So I did the unthinkable
by veen ini decided enough was enough and had a no holds barred conversation with a room of around a dozen 'believers'.
a number of things had been troubling me all night, but the final straw was when my brother-in-law said 'isn't it funny how the acronym std can stand for both, sexually transmitted disease and satan the devil.'.
i couldn't stand the frustration anymore so i pointed out how irrelevant that fact was, and how if we spoke a different language the same conclusion could probably not be made.

Bethel wifeswapping phenomenon
by veen inso i've got some friends who are international construction volunteers, and have spent the last few years traveling to different bethels around the world.
i was talking to one of them in the pub on the weekend, and she said that they have separate saunas for men and women in all the bethels because every bethel she's been to has had a problem with wifeswapping taking place in them.. .
how mental is that!
