@GoldingBF @PurpleF69177430 But it’s the Britain your grandparents went out and colonised for. Why are you then surprised when people come over here? Also, is it just brown people you have a problem with? What if white practitioners of their faith come over here and set up churches? Just like many have.
@jk_rowling Yet again displaying a complete misunderstanding (deliberately so?) as to what it actually means to be a transgender person. Every post, comment and argument JKR comes up with is missing the entire point.
@johnboyne@jk_rowling You do realise that in other languages pronouns aren’t even used? It’s literally only a problem for English speakers who have a such long history so steeped in puritanical Christianity that they don’t even understand why they hold the beliefs they do.
@markadamharold@RakeLark@NannaOfDragons@jk_rowling …There’s a cafe near me that has wash basins in a communal area and private cubicles used by all. No urinals, just cubicles. No one bats an eye lid. Elsewhere else everyone is losing their mind over this. It’s the toilets themselves that need to change perhaps. The design.
@markadamharold@RakeLark@NannaOfDragons@jk_rowling This is it. No one seems to appreciate that there are people who are intersex and with different syndromes etc. Plus, there’s already been cases of cis people being accused of being in the wrong toilet…
2/ these disfellowshipped ones may well attend the #memorial2024, be greeted, feel less alone and may even start going to meetings and end up being reinstated. Make no mistake. #watchtower just want members back. It’s all about the numbers. It’s pure manipulation and control.
1/ The timing of the announcement that #jehovahswitnesses can greet disfellowshipped ones and the Memorial approaching is not a coincidence. Suddenly people are getting phone calls & texts from family who haven’t spoken to them in years, inviting them to the #memorial2024
I imagine a lot of exJWs are still reeling from the latest news. I imagine some are angry and upset at all those wasted hours and the pressure we were put under. Take extra care of yourselves right now. Try and focus on the freedom you have now, and the future you can plan.
Anyone else kind of pissed off that publishers no longer have to count their hours?? All those years of guilt because I couldn't do as much as others, and now Sam Heard has the cheek to say everyone has different circumstances & abilities, and shouldn't be judged on what they do.
In a booklet published by God’s Channel, Preparing For Child Custody Cases, 1987, they recommend not mentioning faith in the resurrection in court when it comes to refusing blood as “it may convince the judge that they are unreasonable.”
1/- This internal guide for congregation committees for handling matters with members of the congregation was published by God’s channel in 1961.
Want to see how they were instructed on how to handle a woman who comes to them saying she has been raped? Read on ➡️
Same goes for why witnesses are not banging people's doors down, and a tract put through my door 20 years ago with a scribbled phone number on it, doesn't convey a sense of urgency either.
Did we really believe? Or were we just following orders so as to fit in and not seem weak?
Tell me you're in a cult without saying you're in a cult, when family members can't even speak at a loved one's funeral. #JehovahsWitnesses#watchtower#jehovah
A JW funeral today turned into chaos when the "worldly" part of the family felt they were being disrespected by not being mentioned in the funeral discourse. One woman stormed the platform 😂😂 after winning the struggle for the mic she let her feelings be known. 😭😭😂😂. After
#JehovahsWitnesses#twowitnessrule#thecrowdedroom The rest of the world gets it. Child abuse very rarely has a 2nd witness.
So, why has #Watchtower chosen to cling to the Old Testament scripture Deut 19:15 and said "We will never change our Scriptural position on that subject"?
