  “White Privilege”

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  lately that’s all i’ve been hearing about!

  i’m sick and tired of listening to white people begging for forgiveness simply because they are white.

  in a nearby town, a six year old girl asked her mom, “ why don’t we have a black lives matter march here?

  posting for brother x. petra!.

  if you were a child during the years of 1960 to 1970, the question isn't; do you remember these conventions?

  the question is; how could you forget?

  Do You Feel Your Rights Are Being Trampled On By Government Regarding Coronavirus?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  i support local and state and federal government’s power to safeguard the public.

  i wonder is it getting to a point where we will be told we can’t go out anymore, can’t use your phone or computer anymore because of the viruses that we can get, etc.

  are we prolonging this virus at all ?

  2. child-abuse

  with the most recent investigative news report show entitled "the witnesses" i noticed a number of posters whose family members are pimi refer to such shows as "apostate lies.

  " even the governing body (possibly loesch) made such a statement (possibly on jw broadcasting).

  i was thinking of how to reply to such a statement.. first, ask "who is the apostate?

  sooo.... i've been perusing recent topics for a few minutes and seeing pretty much the standard jw fare these days - scandals, abuse, bad behavior, cover ups, bullying, shunning, family splits, torturous extrications from a cult, mind control etc.. i started to try and think of anything the dubs were doing that was actually beneficial to mankind in any way, and i'm struggling.

  without being facetious, wtf do they do to make anybody's life better?

  help me out here.. pros.

  Fudging The Numbers JW Style

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i know most of us have probably figured this out already, but remember the good old days where you could only count full hours in the ministry?.

  then one of the gb get some "new light" from their ass and proclaim that they lovingly will allow people to report 30mins, then even 15mins of time.

  this was, supposedly, so that the old and infirm could have a joy in the ministry and report what little they could do.

  Health, fitness and recovery advice

  by SecretSlaveClass in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  i hope this is okay with you simon, but since i've noticed the number of forum members looking to discuss or seek advice on various health issues i thought it would be a good idea to start a thread dedicated to this topic alone.

  any discussions or advice on these matters could be put here where any and all would be welcome to jump in with any help they could offer.

  i am working on the first questions at the moment taken from the cognac/morpheus weight loss thread.

  Bending Truth - CO Talk - Time and Money Invested

  by berrygerry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  watched the bending truth video last week - an essential for those asking "why?

  " people join, and why people stay.. the co's talk on inspired truth and inspired error made much reference to habakkuk "not be late.".

  and then, they actually verbalized the bending truth video, for those wondering about the delay, and what to do.. "think about how much time and money you have already invested in serving jehovah.
