  Now that JWs know there is a pedophile problem...

  by Zoos in

  ... will they take it upon themselves to warn their bible studies of pedophile activity in the congregations so they can protect their children, or will the cycle of abuse continue with the attitude of letting new ones take their chances along with the rest of us?.

  I said to you all bring little children unto me and you were all so rapped up in each others presence, in your rituals of dress, of grooming of hours you spent advocating the American wt society that you ignored the needs of your children to warmth and safety. When human kind had in-spite of all its struggles brought about an education system that mankind might learn many wonderful things of the world i created you disabused this and kept them in ignorance. But you saw the reality but wilfully repeatedly denied it thus you abused the spirit of my love. When from their highest station my creation investigated the iniquity of child and family abuse of violence and alcohol induced thuggery against defenceless ones you turned your faces away and pretended it didnt exist.
  

  Thus I bring about a new world for my human creation to live in health and peace and you will be part of it as manure making plants grow.

  LONDON — Even in our senior years, having sex regularly — or even just fooling around — can significantly improve wellbeing and contentment in life, a new study finds.

  Researchers from Anglia Ruskin University and University College London found seniors who reported any type of sexual activity within the previous 12 months felt greater levels of enjoyment and satisfaction in their lives compared to sexually inactive individuals. Results were based on survey data from 6,879 participants in England who were 65 years old, on average.

  “The findings of our study suggest that it may be beneficial for physicians to query geriatric patients about their sexual activity and offer help for sexual difficulties, such as problems with erections, as sexual activity helps older people live more fulfilling lives,” says Dr. Lee Smith, a reader in exercise medicine at Anglia Ruskin, in a media release.

  Smith, along with co-author Sarah Jackson, found there were differences for men and women based on the type of sexual activity. Older women may improve their wellbeing more from intimate touching than from having sex. Specifically, women who reported a greater frequency of kissing, petting, and fondling felt more satisfied in their lives. They also felt emotionally closer to their partner during sex, but intercourse did not significantly improve their overall levels of enjoyment or satisfaction in life.

  Conversely, older men who were happy with their sex lives and had intercourse more frequently reported greater enjoyment in life overall.

  In other words, and perhaps not surprisingly, having sex was more crucial for older men to feel content, while women’s wellbeing was more connected to affectionate acts.

  “Health professionals should acknowledge that older adults are not asexual and that a frequent and problem-free sex life in this population is related to better wellbeing. However, encouragement to try new positions and explore different types of sexual activities is not regularly given to ageing populations,” says Smith.

  The full study was published in the open access journal Sexual Medicine.

  can jehovahs witnesses ingest marijuana in states where it's legal?

  can they use it medically and recreationally in legal states?

  Is the UK Charities Commission fit for purpose?

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm not an expert on charity law, but the minimum criteria required by any organisation to retain their charity and tax-free status (as defined on the uk government's own website) is most certainly not being met by the wtbts/jw's.. the pdf flowchart on this page of the web site should convince most thinking people that the wtbts is not acting for the public's best interests:.

  https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/what-makes-a-charity-cc4?step-by-step-nav=3dd66b86-ce29-4f31-bfa2-a5a18b877f11.

  the wtbts/jw "charity" is a self-serving entity whose sole purpose is to perpetuate its own existence via the recruitment process of new members by existing unpaid members..

  dozy.. fair comment but why then does the wt need more and more money. ie selling off kh', closing branch offices and so on.

  • NB. in case anyone didnt know.
    
  • kh are built with volunteer labour.
  • kh are paid for by the members there in
  • frequently with donated materials
  • with many on donated land.

  when they are sold up this is a huge cash pile but who does it go to? does it go to the cong that built the facility?

  There are too many accounts on-line where jw have seen the money be transferred to bethel NY for this to be rumour.

  mum had the 50 yard stare dad had no convo at all and the two girls went at it like demented type writers.

  why is it that girls of an age seem to need to say every word they think.

All about this one and that and who said this or that. Why is it that girls of an age seem to need to say every word they think. I would not have minded if they had been quieter about it.

  Then it hit me...the scenario could have been in a kh where the same inane level of conversation takes place..

  Have you ever gotten a straight answer? If yes, what was it?

  by Tenacious in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the light continues to get brighter, yada, yada, yada.. but, the bottom line is the watchtower claims everything comes from jehovah.

  books, magazines, videos, assemblies, to jw broadcast, to gb appointments, to dramas, even the music and sophia and caleb.

  heck, they would claim jehovah provides the toilet paper if they could.
