Do You Think Prostitution Should Be Decriminalized?

by minimus in

jw

in the us there is a bill in the house of representatives to decriminalize prostitution.

what do you think about that?.

WTWizard

Legalize and regulate prostitution. But, no child traffickers! Those things, and those running kiddie porn and child trafficking rings have forfeited all their rights to be here on earth and all other civil rights. Adult traffickers deserve life in prison, or the death penalty (depending on the circumstances involved in their trades)--and those who use deceptive practices deserve to be shut down. Hence, no setting up brothels under the guise of working for a supermarket or other place of employment, or forcing employees in such to do prostitution or lose their jobs.

And yes, it needs regulation. Out of control prostitution leads to bedlam. You get them in neighborhoods where they are going to ruin the areas. You also get drugs, which do not mix with brothels. And no giant holding company should be allowed to run these businesses--any conglomerate prostitution "business" needs to be stopped before they can create kiddie porn rings, forced prostitution, or trafficking issues as companies that are too big to be stopped. This means that Walmart cannot enter the prostitution business--they need to be kept independent but under regulation to keep them from becoming drug businesses or trafficking circles. And I am in favor of a minimum age of 18 to work as a prostitute, just as it is for regular porn.

February 2020 Study Watchtower - JW's MUST confess!

by The Fall Guy in

page 24, par.

17 - if you commit a serious sin, do not try to cover the error.

instead, openly confess your sin to jehovah in prayer.

WTWizard

Good thing I know some German. That way, I can confess in German and be able to tell them that I did confess. Whether they understand a word of it or not, that's their problem.

What Are Your Predictions for 2020 and Beyond?

by The Bethelite in

2020 the society will continue to have financial problems with massive pay outs because of their lack of protecting their young people from a religion that harbors thousands of pedophiles.

thus this and other religions that has an 1800's mentality will continue to lose their young people.

with the religion's lies easily found on the internet the smart ones will continue to leave in droves.

WTWizard

Either we are going to get rid of that bible, political correctness, and enforced lies and start treating Satan with more respect, or we are all going to be living under Noahide Law. At its worst. And this makes the jokehovian witless religion seem like a picnic. The more people adhere to that bible, and the stronger they adhere to it, the faster this will happen and the worse it will be.

The Holidays Are No Big Deal Anymore

by minimus in

jw

you used to hear christmas music blaring on every radio station.

not anymore.

people used to jam the roadways and malls to do their christmas shopping and now it’s no big deal.

WTWizard

And yes, I agree that Kwanzaa is a bogus "holiday". It was stolen from Lammas Day, corrupted, moved to December 26 through January 1, and used as a weapon to racist-ize Christmas. This helps no one--Lammas Day was supposed to be held around August 1 and commemorate the harvest. Everyone loses when these holidays are moved around and corrupted--whites lose Christmas (and yes, blacks also lose it), and blacks lose Lammas Day (whites, too) in favor of a corrupted version. If we just put the holidays back where they belong and bring them back to their original condition, we can all enjoy them to the full.

And no, we do not need to put jesus back where it never was. That thing came around some 2,000 years ago and infested Europe with the Inquisition. Christmas was celebrated long before this infestation. The pagan Christmas, also known as Yule, was held between December 23 and January 6. And they didn't wait until 5 minutes before Yule was to start to prepare and rip it all down immediately after, either. And that Kwanzaa holiday was originally Lammas Day, celebrated the first of August as it was supposed to have been. Everyone enjoyed both holidays without being "racist", and there was no political correctness to ruin everything.

Then came jesus, and it all went to heaven in a handbasket. That was when the corruption began. Lammas Day ceased to be held (Beltane, also), and the other holidays (Christmas, Easter, and Halloween) were corrupted. And this xian rubbish has been getting worse--using its other tools to totally ruin our cultures by mixing them into a big mess. And mostly, it is political correctness that is herding us out of our holidays and into Noahide Law where there will be no holidays. No Christmas. No New Years Day. Not even that corrupted Kwanzaa, let alone its parent Lammas Day. It will be like jokehovianism, the deluxe version.

I noticed the change around 2007, with few houses having Christmas lights (and those who still had decorations up, had fewer). This trend has gotten worse since then, with wimpier and wimpier displays being the normal. Instead of competing to see who can decorate the most, the competition is to see who can have the wimpiest, lamest display of all.

Other aspects seem watered down. There are fewer Christmas specials on TV, and fewer Christmas songs in stores than only 15 or 20 years ago. For a while, they would start Christmas songs up, solid, the minute after Thanksgiving and continue them through New Year's Day. Not any more.

And I rarely see the types of Christmas advertisements and in-store displays that were so common in the 1970s. Where is that Sears Wish Book? I understand stores come and go, but why don't you see a Walmart Wish Book or an Amazon Wish Book? Or anything even remotely resembling such? And no, those 16-page inserts in the snoozepapers do not count. (Not that I would shop Walmart any more, since all they carry is rubbish.) I almost never hear of any major holiday events downtown, either--even in small towns, they had bigger Christmas displays in the mid 1970s than they do in big cities today (unless you are in New York City). But, at this rate, a small town in Montana or Idaho in 1975 would be better lit for Christmas than New York City in 2020.

Science and Watchtower's astounding ignorance

by Diogenesister in

well these goof balls at jwbroadcast apparently think the study of pure science means not having any "practical application".

oi vey.

sanderson may speak russian but he is so ill educated he appears to think that researching a subject and formulating a theory about it means that's the end of it - in other words he's saying it has no practical use.

WTWizard

A world without science is a world where the few at the top that claim to be god's chosen will have us all enslaved without any knowledge. Noahide Law would thrive without any sort of science, since the official viewpoints would never get challenged. And I am not looking forward to the day when the efforts with that bible produce a total official loss of science--it becomes a crime to present any alternative viewpoint other than what they use to keep us slaves ignorant.

Just keep pushing that bible, and you will hasten the time when there will be no official science. We will all live under the darkest ages, worse than the one the cat lick church imposed. (And this time, with technology in place to enforce it, there is no hope for it to ever end.)

Living in the last of the last days - A new prophecy

by Listener in

although not a new concept by the watchtower, particularly in public talks and at assemblies, they have now put this prophecy in writing.watchtower oct 2019 page 8 -13 study no.40 titled -keep busy during the last of "the last days".

the first paragraph asks '1.

what convinces us that we are living in “the last days”?

WTWizard

The washtowel has been prophesying the "last days" ever since 1872. And they keep changing the dates around. None of them have any validity.

About all I can do with astrology is notice planetary alignments that issue warnings that something is more likely than normal to happen, but with no guarantee. Saturn cunjunct Pluto in 22 CP this coming January 12 or 13, depending on your time zone, is a warning that war is more likely (major wars, not just those stupid little fights we have been having) around then. Nor do I have any way of knowing how long it will take before a shooting war actually develops.

But I can tell that, the more people continue putting their souls in that bible (any translation will do) or any religion that ties in with it, even one that ties in more with its own doctrines than the bible itself, the faster it will happen and the higher the probability of a disaster instead of a problem. The more people put their souls into bibles, the harsher Noahide Law will be when it comes. We could also lose more people from wars and the famines and environmental fallout, and see those reptilians come here that much sooner if more people continue following their bibles or qurans.

No more wasted time running around preaching to people I don't even like being around, for the purpose of "saving" them. Or being "attracted" to them just because they took the littera-trash (and are stupid enough to fall for it).

JW.org greater than the Bible now

by eyeslice2 in

jw
friends

there was a time when brooklyn bethel was emblazoned with the words; "read god's word the bible daily" but it seems to me now that even the bible has taken second place to jw.org.

i remember having lots of studies using the 'truth' book.

we asked the students in those days to prepare well and look up the scriptures in their own copy of the bible.

WTWizard

I have noticed the dumbing down. Just by reading the German files (including some intended for hounders), I see how simplified it is becoming. Anyone with a high B1 or low B2 level in the language would be able to understand most of those files. Compare with some truly great pieces of literature--try reading Shakespeare in German at B1-B2 level. Try reading a German newspaper at those levels.

When material directed at the hounders for use at special meetings is so dumbed down that a high B1 understanding of the language is enough, something is wrong. Even the bible itself, as horrible as it is, is written in more difficult language that a B2 proficiency is not enough to comprehend it. The same with most business meetings, and most internal communication. These files are of internal communication, written so poorly that someone with an intermediate proficiency of a language would be able to understand them. (Which I would rather read German language story books that are somewhat more advanced--by reading C1 material, that is the only way I am ever going to reach C1 or better in German.

Of course, if I do reach C1 in German, I doubt that anyone is going to understand what I think of the religion within the hounders, or any confession I make (in German) of anything. And I will have fun saying "Dass ist Pech für dich!" to them.

Jesus to rule for 1000 yrs yet he started in 1914?

by krismalone in

i believe when we were in the jw cult, our brains and thoughts were hijacked by the governing body.

i truly believe the gb thinks all members are stupid and they laugh at them in their wednesday morning secret meetings.. one such teaching that i never heard anyone bring out or question yet the absurdity and contradiction is blatantly obvious is: revelation chapter 20 says that christ will reign for 1000 years.

it doesn't say he will reign more than a thousand yrs but only 1000 yrs.

WTWizard

Given that thing intends to rule by enslaving all of us, and prepare the earth so the reptilians can inhabit this earth and evict us all, it is in my best interest that this thing doesn't get to rule at all.
