  Sex before marriage

  by Jules Saturn in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  for ex jws, pimos, pomos, faders, born again christians, agnostics, atheists, etc.

  what is your opinion regarding sex before marriage, has your view been influenced since you left?

  in western society, you’ll probably find yourself ridiculed to be an 18 year old virgin so i am curious to hear opinions from here.

  Sex prohibitions and marriage all stemmed from -

  1. Ancient inheritance rights

  2. Women not being able to own property

  A "bastard" is an illegitimate male child with no inheritance rights. A female child born out of wedlock or from a legitimate marriage had no inheritance rights.

  Although men married a woman, it was for the sole purpose of producing a legitimate male heir. Men still slept around with whomever they wished.

  Physical intimacy is important for physical, mental, and emotional health. The "sin" in not unmarried sex. The sin is producing a child outside of a marriage.

  i just love virtually any kind, from creamy and soft to brittle and sharp, from cottage cheese to the 'moldy' cheeses like gorgonzola.

  i like to try new things, so any suggestions for cheese varieties you have tried?

  Blownaway - Italian hard cheeses are lower in fat. I do not recommend that powdered stuff cheap italian places and pizza restaurant put out on their tables.

  Asiago, Parmeasan, and Romano are all powerful in flavor. Make sure you shave them thin.

  Could he get DFed? Oh yes! However, most likely he will lose his privileges and be privately reproved. He will start to get his privileges back in 6 months.

  I am into Italian hard cheeses like Asiago, Parmesan, and Romano. I like when you shave pieces of these cheeses. I also like creamy Havarti. I put Muenster on my breakfast sandwiches in the morning.

  The is a definite attempt by pedophiles to lump themselves into the LGBT+ community in their vile hopes to become mainstream accepted.

  How does the "slave" turn 11 into 500?

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  at matthew 28:16, the alleged "faithful slave" changes the number of people whom jesus invites, from 11 to over 500 - in order to "prove" that men, women, and children were commanded to preach.*.

  3 - “jesus’ 11 faithful apostles...went to a mountain in galilee to meet the resurrected christ!....“upward of five hundred brothers” may have been present on that occasion.” (or may not!).

  other disciples are there too, about 500 of them,.

  I invoke the ancient Roman rite of Taurus Feces. In Watchtower speak, "it is understood" means "it's our unsubstantiated opinion".

  Here's the worst part - Witnesses will say one of two things; 1) "Time and unforeseen circumstances" or 2) She must have had a "secret sin".

  Now, if she was Murdered going somewhere while she "should have been at the convention" they would say; "See! Going to the meetings/assemblies/conventions is a protection!"

  Without god what is the basis of morality?

  by OneEyedJoe in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm sure most here who've questioned or left behind their belief in god have encountered this question - without god, what basis can there be for morality?

  my exwife, when i admitted that i was an atheist, once asked me "if you don't believe in god, what's to stop you from going out and raping and murdering?

  " previously, whenever i got this objection, i would tend to turn it around on the other person with a response along the lines of "if fear of god is the only thing that stops you from murdering, that makes me rather nervous to be around you.

  Also consider that in your post you refer to "god's rule"? Which god? If you refer to the god of the Bible you are referring to the Judaeo-Christian YHWY and Jesus. The social acceptance that Murder is wrong pre-dates these religions and is found in other religions.

  Man has attempted to control the masses since the beginning. Religion was the tool first used. This was followed by government, which first cited religion as the basis for these prohibitions.

  Morality is subjective and not objective. Morality is not a constant. Morality is what a majority of people in a society are willing to tolerate.

  The Most Hypocritical Talk I've ever heard

  by javierjiminy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  pimo filmed a marking talk about him.

  crazy how the many of things mentioned are the same thing the borg does, like brainwashing and indoctrinating.

  what's crazier is how he's saying to the congregation not to do research or look up bad news articles because they are all "fake news.
