Can single sisters get Breast Augmentation?

by friedchicken in

i am curious can a single jw sister get a breast augmentation?

will the elders disfellowship her?

will jehovah be angry with her or upset?

Finkelstein

She would be considered spiritually weak but sexually strong.

The elder bothers would most likely counsel her then go home sexually stimulated and bounce their wife's.

possible cancelling the memorial after years of experiences of bro/sis under nazi , communist oppression and many other countries still conducting the memorial under threat of death that the governing body is listening to the superior authorities regarding this virus pandemic.. could it be that after taking control of the k/halls that the branch/governing body would be responsible for any disobedience to the civil authorities and liable for any deaths.. they would have left upto the local body of elders and encouraged obedience to god rather than men and a lack of faith in jehovah to protect his people..

Finkelstein

Some congregations might have 200 show up for the memorial, so putting people together in close proximity might not be a good idea, add in the passing of the emblems, wine glasses and emblems being touched and retouched.

A lot of JWS are indeed elderly now, including the top GB leaders.

The GB men got together and said .... " Hey guys we are the anointed so that means we have to touch and pass on the unleavened bread and the wine that other people have touched, what are we going to do about that ?

The replies were ..... " Screw that, I'm not touching anything that others have touched, even here at Bethel, some of you guys may have the virus too, particularly you brother Morris you and your drinking habits.

Ok Ok, why dont we do it while wearing plastic surgical gloves and when one of us drinks the wine and eats the bread we toss it into the garbage right after and we pour a new glass and place some new bread on a plate.

Ok I'm cool with that but we dont sit close to each other, one chair apart during the the talk and the passing of the emblems.

Ok what about the rest of the brothers and sisters all around the world, what should they do ?

Ahh screw them, they wont know about what we are doing anyways, it will be just are own private event, Jehovah would want it this way since we are his special chosen ones. ..........right !

“I’m young and healthy so coronavirus won’t affect me” (why we need to stop this disease at ALL costs!)

by slimboyfat in

even if you are young and heathy there are very good reasons to fear this disease and take drastic actions to avoid it individually, and halt it together as communities.

not only would it be traumatic as a society to lose so many old and unwell family members and friends, but survivors of the disease may suffer significant health problems in the future.

survivors of the first sars virus in 2003 have suffered significant lung problems.

Finkelstein

Yes of course we need to stop this virus from spreading and find a possible cure but we also need to be rational, balanced and sensible about the matter, not over strung with fear and anxiety like we are JWS living in the year 1975.

Over stressing people actually weakens your immune system, which might make the contact and receiving of the virus worse for people.

Scientists are actually coming closer to a vaccination here in Canada and in China as well.

Satan and his wicked evil forces must be behind this corona virus.

End of world predictions/ JW's

by exwhyzee in

i thought this was an interesting site that discusses end of world predictions.

http://www.humanreligions.info/the_end_of_the_world.html.

there are additional links at the end of this page.

Finkelstein

Theologically speaking they do when they claim at Armageddon god will cast down balls of fire and destroy all who rejected him and did not worship him.

Which by the JWS proclamations and teachings, that's about 99% of the world's population.

The end of the world in a religoius sense, not the end of the world like the entire world is going to be completely destroyed.

Its clearly identified as a fear mongering apocalyptic religious publishing house.

But Jehovah would protect his chosen people from getting this virus anyway, particularly at a Kingdom Hall on memorial night

Jehovah's holy spirit protects his faithful devoted ones.

How religious cults are created and operate to create a base of devoted followers.(JWS)

by Finkelstein in

i found this video on youtube which correctly explains how religoius cults develop and operate on a psychological and sociological study.. while watching it think of the jws and its general operative behavior.. i think its important to realize many people who fall into cults are usually having some kind unstable problems in their lives looking for answers and relief, the jws are known to exploit people who are under going some personal strife and are venerable to that effect.

True Sea Breeze , men like the JWS men have interpreted the bible toward their own means and self empowerment.

Some of these false bible interpretations by the JWS have come from the pressing endeavor and intent of literature proliferation, perhaps not surprising since this organization has had a publishing house operating at its core from the very beginning..

Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread

by Simon in

jw
friends

this topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.

latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.

the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

Finkelstein

This documentary reveals how the virus probably started and may have started originally in the open public market in Wuhan China.

China and other countries need to shut down all wet markets like this and create strong laws against this kind of sale of animals.

Transmission has been extremely rapid all over the world.

Don't agree with that comment, its untrue to the facts people who have traveled aboard in the Asiatic region or have come in contact to those who have traveled are susceptible to catch the virus.

For example to date Canada has had only 176 cases in a population of 37 million.

These are documented cases not deaths .

The there is no qestion this can be a deadly virus for some unfortunate few but the wide spread contagious action is not there, not at least in numbers now.

It will be interesting to see what happens in a couple of weeks .
