  I think I remember the story of their visit.

  It seems they haven't yet learned that you get to raise your children the way you think is best just as they did.

  Speculation: Female Ministerial Servants coming soon

  by Londo111 in

  ive no source for this, just personal speculation.. * there is a good case to be made that there were female deacons (ministerial servants) in the bible.. * there is a lack of qualified brothers for basic assignments such as microphones, accounts, literature.

  in some cases, elders have had to do double duty because of a lack of ministerial servants or qualified brothers.. * women outnumber men in the organization.. * there is supposedly a surprising change coming "down the pipe".. perhaps the only difference between male and female ministerial servants is that women will still not be allowed to teach..

  yes, the jws continue to bleed their young ones, so far in my local kh 3 were dfd, one girl just turned 18 this month and packed her bags and said goodbye to the cult and her cultish parents, another young 18 year old man decided to have a non-jw girlfriend and decided to stop attending and is no longer a witness.

  they continue to leave and wt leaders dont give a damn.

  they dont do anything to help kids be successful and live a healthy life.. .

  "I don't even think about skin colour." -defenderoftruth

  That's white privilege. It's designed so that those who benefit aren't aware of it. No black person would ever say that.

  Please understand, I am not slamming you. I think your strong feelings against racism are admirable. It's just that we white folks often have a really poor understanding of the black experience.

  Something Big is Coming...

  the annual meeting of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses will be in october 2014.. .. in november 2013, just after the last one they published this now famous statement in the 15th of november 2013 watchtower page 16 paragraph 17 says:.

  "at that time, the lifesaving direction that we receive from jehovahs organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.

  all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.".

  It really could be anything since they just make it up as they go and any one of us here could write the article outlining the changes.

  How about: * reaches into a magician's hat* there really is no paradise and all who are worthy will go to heaven?

  Any takers on writing the article?

  America's F-35 Fighter- Is it a flop ?

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. social
  2. current

  its said to be the most expensive fighter plane in history, but its just been grounded ( yesterday a decison to allow them to fly again,) after a massive engine failure in one plane.. .

  little australia is buying another 58 (in addition to another 14 already ordered) of the f-35s at a cost of $aust 12.4 billion dollars, and with an estimated cost of around $12 billion for maintenance programs during its life time.. but its not without opposition - .

  government backbencher dennis jensen has condemned the prime ministers $12.4 billion plan to buy 58 f-35 joint strike fighter jets as a great national scandal and worse than a disgrace.. in an extraordinary broadside in parliament on monday night, dr jensen warned that australias national security was being corrupted by an industrial-military complex interested in promoting the global arms trade.. .

  Defenderoftruth, there is something to what rjharris is saying.

  I am white and didn't understand black culture until I attended a HBU (historically black university). There I learned that black folks really do have their own culture and it is beautiful. Most black folks are bicultural in that they function in the culture at large (white culture) as well, but it's really cruel to not expose children to black culture and then when they leave and are with other black folks (and let's face it, in America, life is still functionally separate) they can't relate.

  That's double culture shock.

  How many of you followed the WTS direction on education years ago and have been screwed by it?

  by Julia Orwell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm really interested in this question because i've heard for years that if you forgo further education and go pioneering, when you have a family down the track you will get a good job because jehovah will provide for you because you pioneered.

  as long as i was a kool-aid drinker, even then, i thought, "how does pioneering pay your bills?

  surely education should come first.

  Thanks, Marina.

  Yes, I've actually found magnesium, calcium, and vitamin D to be helpful. I take them separately in larger amounts than an all in one supplement. I tend to test deficient in vitamin D. I also take fish oil for high cholesterol and it seems to help with my mood a little.

  The other issue is this perimenopause thing that has just started recently in which I'm having terrible trouble sleeping a week or so every month. And also night sweats. Ugh.

  i've never been on a website that doesn't allow you to delete your own personal messages.

  why can we not do that on this site?

  what are your motives in keeping our personal messages?

  To state the obvious, if 60% believe in God then 40% do not.

  And, if 7% of top ranking physicists believe in God, a FULL 93% DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD.

  So, I'm not sure what the point of your statistics is.
