The religion is a deeply literalist fundamentalist one.
@ TonusOH
Are you kidding me? They use symbolic interpretation like an artist turning a blank canvas into a paradise scene. They are the very antitheisis of a literal interpreter of the bible, with all their types and antitypes. They have denied almost every single fundamental element of the Christian faith.
They are as opposite as you can get from a literal, fundamental believer.

Trumps latest promises to the American People
DATA DOG:
You are probably right that ‘RINOs’ are probably next on the chopping block. Trump doesn’t need any fakes undermining him.
Been doing a lot of YouTube watching and it’s amazing how many voted against the Democrats because they hate what has happened to the country.. DT has a tall order ahead of him and I hope things get better overall which I don’t believe they possibly would have if the other side got in!
Project 2025:
I would like to retract my earlier statement that there is no 2025. It does exist, but I HIGHLY doubt it’s what the extreme Left says it is. No group has exaggerated or lied more than the Left, so I won’t lose any sleep due to imagined fears associated with Project 2025, not when the very real threat of the Left and Globalism stares us all on the face.
Think Tanks will do what they do, and some religious Conservatives have their dreams, just like the Dubs, but it’s the Left that seems to be inching closer to it’s extreme goals.

Biahi, loved this as a description of those still in: "we weren’t supposed to form opinions." So true.
For those ignorant (like me!) RINO stands for Republicans In Name Only, evidently upcoming targets for more rancor from MAGAs.
JaredScott - “Why do most Ex JWs seem to be liberal?”
I don’t know for sure if that’s the case, but if it is, it’s probably because the WTS is extremely conservative, and some XJWs have simply had enough of that sort of thing.
Its from being so tied down for most of ones life. Yes.
Q.: Why do most Ex jW W‘s seem to be liberal?
A.: They seem to be that way because they are. JWs are typically gullible, economically disadvantaged people inclined toward laziness who are poorly educated and enjoy believing in a free lunch. If Jehovah won't give it to them, perhaps the totalitarian state will.
NATHAN NATAS:
I agree with you, especially about the Witnesses looking for a ‘free lunch’.
Even back when I was in the religion and a believer I saw this and it bothered me. But, the hypocrisy of them knocking working people bothered me more.. I was not ‘approved’ of back then because of my fulltime job. So, I was hardly invited.
Fast forward to now: Glad to not be around these upset, disillusioned people who never expected to reach senior years in ‘this system’. You can bet they are looking for freebies and would support (if not secretly vote for) whatever candidate would give it to them!
Because quite a large number of the ex JWs (or more accurately raised JWs but not JW as adults) you're.most likely to come across online are usually pretty young. Many are still very influenced by the education system /celebrity culture/liberal media etc. and haven't matured enough to think for themselves or develop their own personal worldview yet.
