hey everyone.
i have a question and i hope i'm not confusing this with something else i heard.
while watching ex jw videos on youtube many of them talk about how noah's ark and the flood didn't happen and it's impossible.
Joan of Arc was a French female freedom fighter, famous for her exposed breast gesture. possible!! link please by a nature loving nerd
The ark of Noah, and the fish of Jonah are not feasible because of the physics, chemistry involved.
wooden boats that size not strong enough. not enough water to cover Everest, rain 4 meter per second for 40 days worldwide? tell it to the marines!
i think it's absolutely disgusting how the organisation has treated childhood victims of pedophilia and rape.
i think their "standards" of requiring two witnesses for belief is absurd.
i think how they try and quietly brush things under the rug in the back rooms of kingdom halls is completely despicable.
flipper: "-- I don't see this " storm " and scourge of child abuse ending any time soon.
What I meant by "storm" is the unrelenting news of men, from conductors to coaches, politicians, impresarios, stars, exposed and accused of bad conduct from "inappropriate behavior" to rape.
These exposures will make future potential offenders think twice before yielding to their impulses. Impulses that in their right form and place assured the arrival of the fittest of our race.
i was inspired by @lastmanstanding to check out the jan 15 1892 watchtower and came across this little gem from the same article covering russell's trip to europe.
i think this will be particularly interesting to the aussies here considering our ongoing debate about the treatment of immigrants and refugees.
the people are generally intelligent, industrious, busy and comfortably clothed and fed—far beyond our previous suppo sitions.
At one time there were more wt adherents in Germany than in the USA, which confirms his observations that they are slow to discover what goes on.
America was asking for the tired and huddled masses, so what did they expect to get? , not to mention Australia's past.
Emigration is actually like evaporation, only the most energetic particles part first.
well it's been awhile since i got angry and wanted to post on here again.
last week's watchtower about the subject of love had something to say about the hard working attendants.
it seems that they are choosing to sit in the best seats at the convention.
Pharisees loved the first seats in the synagogues. Did they send helpers with worn out scrolls to reserve them? fine examples, still having followers today.
so, my son bought me a device that allows me to look up and watch anything i want.
i remember years ago , i enjoyed the television show hee haw on sunday evenings.
i naively thought it was wholesome family entertainment.
The most useless show I never watched, but:
wait until the revelations about sexual harassment roll in!

It is not the wt, or the Republican party, it is the Olympic organisations, democratic Parties, Catholic and non Catholic Churches, Show me one organisation that is not affected by this.
When this storm is over, at least where it can reach, it will be a better world for children. lessons learned standards changed.
an easy example is beards.
i hear they're not unusual in places like europe, even on appointed brothers.
it also seems like they're becoming more accepted in more liberal parts of the states.
Elder's wives "wear the pants" in many western countries. Also applies to many ms, and rf marriages.

I think they chose to pick on the hapless attendants so as to not offend the contributing members, who are really behind the arena real estate grabbing rush, paving the best seats with old literature, placed there by trained athletes not later than 8.01 am.
May be all, after reading about the attendants, will consider how selfish it is and dishonoring, to be so greedy in reserving choice seats. hours in advance, leaving the disadvantaged to pick up the degs.
dear lurkers, you won't be disappointed by this topic.
when i was in the org, there was a strict dress code.
no woman was attractive, and when i was a young witness child i was conditioned to believe every woman in the world must be ugly.
porno 6780: It is stupid to lust and go after married woman. man! but
The subtlety of the wt is , that it really is, in away, a delayed strip club. It is a giveaway for ladies to go to a beach, and reveal all in a bikini, or sleep with men before marriage!
The wt - imposed subtlety is, that you see the well adorned, but minimal - exposure package first, and only gradually, until the denouement* before the climax on the wedding night is the trip really over. (for a moment).-----* from the french word "nu"= naked
Woman get a special jolt in their first sexual experience. The blood - stained displayers of the wedding bed sheets are old fashioned, but not stupid. They have bet on a stable marriage with a bonded woman. Pimps get such a hold on their "stable" because they trap these young ladies into dependancy as virgins. The police often can not free these victims of human trafficking because they are, from day one, so emotionally bonded to their keepers.
Wt moral enforcement, stable of attractive, protected prospective mates, is their greatest attraction.
It is better to travel than to arrive!
ps: By all means go to a Spanish congregation, or Tagalog , look at the really vivacious beauties, and the family, mother, to get the whole picture.
looks like the wt are even reducing the video content nowadays...... no jw tv monthly broadcast for december 2017 - instead it is replaced with the 'gilead graduation part 1' programme.
issues with translation - apparently replacing the monthly broadcast with the hour long 'spiritual' part of the graduation means that the wt are able to translate it into more languages than before.. plus more.....
brain tumor-associated psychosis and spirituality: a case report (jw) - frontiers in psychiatry (switzerland), nov 14, 2017. .
The Fall Guy: Kingdom Hall services.........."Jehovah's Witness meetings would take place on Wednesdays and Sundays with 30 to 40 participants..."
Training by wt professionals, and the congregation will have to pay for that special training of free future labour, > $ 500.- per session, out of local funds. Not out of funds , current contributions to the parent company.
