Thanks for the exposé DT. I did a bit of background on Jehu too and like others have pointed out, his character leaves A LOT to be desired and differs little from Adolf Hiter's.
I'll write a bit more about it when I get home tonight.

Get some earplugs. Or pop in your own earbud headphones and play some 21st century music...Or better still, a spoken word book on empathy and political correctness, and thank Jehoover you have fully functional ears and aren't on the autistic spectrum yourself
Sorry, but that's just ridiculous. Empathy is one thing, but there's far too much 'political correctness' bullshit going on these days. Now you're suggesting that the neighbours just suck it up and buy earplugs because one mother is too inconsiderate to teach her son some manners and good behaviour? He's autistic, not brain-dead. Autistics can be well-functioning, respectful and considerate; just like everyone else if they're taught to be like that. Clearly the mother hasn't done so and apparently doesn't give a rat's ass about being a good neighbour.
Too much of 'everyone's got Rights' but no one's got responsibility these days.

How do Jehovahs Witnesses arrive at their explanation of the Bible?
by mankkeli inthis is taken from the reasoning book.
page 206. .
a key factor is that the witnesses really believe that the bible is gods word and that what it contains is there for our instruction.

"...In pointing out the meaning of symbolic language in the Bible, they let the Bible provide its own explanation, instead of giving their theories as to its significance.
Utter bullshit. They most certainly do not 'let the bible provide it's own explanation' and in fact, condemn anyone who tries to do just that:
"...They say that it is sufficient to read the bible exclusively, either alone or in small groups at home. But, strangely, through such ‘Bible reading,' they have reverted right back to the apostate doctrines that commentaries by Christendom's clergy were teaching 100 years ago..."-The Watchtower, August 15, 1981, pp. 28-29
"...if anyone lays the SCRIPTURE STUDIES aside, even after he has used them, after he has become familiar with them, after he has read them for ten years-if he then lays them aside and ignores them and goes to the Bible alone, though he has understood his Bible for ten years, our experience shows that within two years he goes into darkness." -The Watch Tower, September 15, 1910, p. 298

Is Disfellowshipping a form of Bullying?
by Quarterback inagain, on anderson cooper's show today, he had a topic of bullying.
i thought that subjec related so closely to the disfellowshipping practice.

You damn right it is. In fact, it's worse than bullying. It's a form of mental/emotional torture.

Why are Jehovahs Witnesses persecuted and spoken against?
by mankkeli inthis is taken from the reasoning book, page 201. .
jesus said: if the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
if you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own.

I think Gladiator is correct. No other religion has so consistently predicted that certain things were going to happen on certain dates and have them all come true! In fact, I cannot think of one single prophecy they've ever gotten wrong!!!

Every cult uses the same sorry-assed reasoning as the Witnesses. They have bizarre beliefs, yell it from the roof tops and they cry "persecution" when they get the backlash for it. It's the only way they can convince themselves that they're God's Chosen Ones.

It sounds to me like the mom is the problem as she clearly has no concept of what being a decent neighbour is all about. Yes, autistic children and adults need their routine, but I can't see how letting them play very loud crappy music could possibly help them. (Actually, there seems to be some evidence that classical music can be very therapeutic for autistic children).
Unfortunately, you do not get to say what kind of music he listens to, but his using headphones would probably be the best solution and you wouldn't have to listen to it.
Neighbours can be really rude. Some asshole two houses over from me has his friends over every frigging night and they go out to his garage and start practicing their heavy metal vomit shit from 6:00pm - 8:00pm. It's so damn loud you can't even enjoy a peaceful evening outdoors. I'm debating on whether to go over and ask them to practice in their basement, or just to lay a complaint with the police. This is not a 'teen neighbourhood' and we're not used to dealing with this kind of crap. I've been tempted to get out my old getto blaster, aim it at his house and play Kingdumb Melodies as loud as I can Saturday mornings at 8:00am. See how he likes it.

The meaning of blood in Lev 17
by BookOfRoses ini have a question about what was allowed/disallowed about eating blood in old testament israel.
not necessarily how jw see it, but how it is explained in general, although this question came to my mind after discussion with a jw, mainly based on leviticus 17.. .
(contemporary english version).

Welcome to the board Book of Roses! We've had several discussions on this subject over the years, but the one that sticks out most in my mind, is a thread we did about 4 years ago on this subject. In a nutshell, we destroyed the WT's ridiculous interpretation on blood, in one fell swoop. Here is the link:

Jehovah's Witnesses do not try to predict when God will destroy the wicked.
