The ironic part is that the Watchtower attempts to make slavery sound like a wonderful joyful thing, and the JWs (until they wake up individually) soak it up like gravy on bread.

Slavery - ancient
by joey jojo ini have been listening to podcasts by dan carlin and his excellent series on persia and the spartans, called king of kings.. its a refreshing way to hear unbiased accounts of history, untainted by religious beliefs.. a part of the podcast dealt with the jews but it put into perspective their place in world history and events.
pretty much just another tribe- sometimes rebellious, allowed to exist under the rule of a major power, allowed to worship their own gods exactly like the other tribes around them.. another part that caught my interest was the account of slavery and it made me think about the way wt and other christian religions have tried to reconcile the idea that it was ok in those days for jews to own slaves because they had laws to protect the slaves.. the podcast made me realise a lot of apologists of slavery obviously forget how a person becomes a slave in the first place.
apologists like wt say it was ok because it was part of the economy and the way life was, which totally skips over the important part.. after a war, when most of the men were killed or wounded on the battlefield by the winning side, whoever was left, men, women and preferably young virgins, were taken back to the homeland of the victors and sold at the slave markets.

Just one question is San Francisco a sanctuary city?
The reason I ask is that there was a town that I was living in Missouri, and where I was living at had a huge number of illegals. The biggest issue with those folks was they didn't use the facilities when dealing with going to the bathroom. I would see them take a dump in their back yards.
The same was at the locations where I worked at (a convenient store and a production plant). I can't even tell you the number of times illegals would take a shit, and they would not shit in the toilet, but on the floor. I got tired of cleaning up their crap, that whenever I was on duty, I would lock the restroom, and put an out of order sign on the door. It got so bad at the production plant they actually installed cameras to see who was going and leaving the restrooms (not in the room, but just right outside).
My cousin was assigned to clean their living quarters in Wisconsin, and she would always tell me of the actual shit she had to clean up after those people.

Dear Jehovah,
You said put all my problems in a box for you to deal with.
OMG, LMAOF, I really wished it was that easy. I'd just put all my bills in there for him to deal with. But seriously, that name NEVER answered any of my prayers, I'm talking about the serious ones.

First I just want to say thank you, Anders, it really helped.
Smiddy3, there was some information I came across where people were talking about some things. Before I believe or repeat what people say, I like to double check the information first. I don't want to repeat anything unless there are facts that can be backed up.

Nathan, I no longer believe in Armageddon or the end of this system of things. It took me a little while after leaving the Watchtower to finally realized it, and when I did, that was when true freedom really kicked in.

That is a list of how to be an awful person, regardless of who is doing it. There is only one rule to do when dealing with another person, treat others on how you want to be treated, but don't put up with any bull.

A few years back when my husband and I were homeless, we met and became friends with a converted Muslim. Before becoming a Muslim, he studied with the JWs, and the Muslims at the same time. He grew up in a Christian home, so he had quite a bit of knowledge regarding the three different faiths. He did say one thing about Armageddon that still sticks to my mind to this day. "When people think of Armageddon, they think of a worldwide event, but no, it will only involve those in the middle east."

***Red Alert for Memorial Avoiders***
by The Fall Guy indavid can't xsplane of the gibbering body is urging jw's to go out in field serve-us today to target their bible studies, return visits, and inactive jw's for a second time with the invitation to the annual rejection of christ - just in case they've "forgotten the date" or "lost their invitation.
go to 1 minute 45 seconds for the marketing speech.. https://tv.jw.org/#en/mediaitems/webhomeslider/pub-jwb_201904_14_video.
could the cult's hierarchy be fearing reduced attendances this year - especially of "interested ones"?.
