Nony mouse Recent polls suggest that the kids are a lot less interested in all this social jĢustice crap. It has always been for kids to be counter culture, now that it is your 40 year old teacher and the mainstream media and companies taking the positions, itās not cool anymore
Totally agree. My kids and their mates are the newer school age generation and they think it's bonkers. Just roll their eyes at it all.

Rainbow š Law Makers will turn on Religion NOT the UN
This is what happens when morality is seen as an artifact of utility rather than God.
I donāt understand how so many ex-Witnesses can leave the Jehovahās Witnesses, but at the same time still believe in their theology. If you still believe the stuff the teach, why arenāt you a Witness?
It's perfectly possible to believe in or agree with some of the theology and Bible interpretation of the JWs without accepting it all unquestioningly, and without worshipping a group of men in New York, just as it's possible to believe some of the teachings of the RC, Anglican, Baptist or other churches without buying into all the church doctrine and hierarchy.
The same principle applies to politics: you can agree with some or many of the founding principles of the Republican or Democrat parties (in the USA) or the Conservative or Labour parties (in the UK) or whoever, without supporting the parties themselves, voting for them or fully buying into their membership and behaviour.
To think otherwise is quite narrow-minded, and is precisely what's contributing to this increasingly negative and polarised "us vs them" world we live in now, where it's getting hard to have any reasonable debate without it turning into a shouting match or - like this whole LGBT thing - an excuse for dismissing or "cancelling" other people's opinions.
Simon - āThe rainbow brigade have ridden a wave of regular people being tolerant, but they have overreached and pushed things too farā¦ā
Hard to argue with.
Par for the course when youāre a professional activist, I guessā¦
ā¦you gotta keep finding a new crusade to wage, or youāre out of a job.

I recently read a list of 'black-listed' actors. Many were black-listed due to "disparaging remarks and comments" they made about the LGBTQ+ community.
Frankly, I don't care what people do in the privacy of their torture dungeons, as long as all parties are of legal age and consenting. But I DO take issue with those who organize efforts to suppress free speech. That includes JW's who regulate every word spoken by members and former members.
I remember way back in the day, reading Wikipediaās entry on JWs (still in at the time).
I felt it was fairly accurate, but one thing really stuck out at meā¦
ā¦the acknowledgment that the WTS had made significant efforts in advancing and protecting freedom of speech (paraphrasing, but not much), but, however, did not practice it internally.
What stopped me short was that I could not, in any honesty, refute that statement.
Quick follow-upā¦
ā¦looking back, I think that moment was when I first started to realize something that I personally think is significantā¦
ā¦that if you use heavy-handed (or under-handed) methods in your efforts to claim the moral high groundā¦
ā¦you forfeit the moral high ground.
You gotta watch GG4GB channel
He talks in depth about this subject.
That this could be where religions lose their tax free status and be punished for not accepting LGBTQ groups.
Very interesting times.
The UN won't be that which attacks religion.
It would go against their charter.
The Purposes of the United Nations are:
In 2022 the WTS, adjusted the UN's role "Yes, Jehovah will motivate the nations to use the scarlet-colored wild beast, that is, the United Nations, to turn on the world empire of false religion and completely destroy it." So it does mean the UN will act on their own, but the nations with influence the UN to do it.
