  US violent crimes and murders rose in 2016, the FBI says

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  i can't remember the exact topic but i think a few people predicted the same thing - that the blm movement would cause an increase in violent deaths of young black men, ultimately doing more harm than good.. and so it has: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41391333.

  an 8.6% rise in the homicide rate is pretty appalling by any standard unless it started at very low levels, which we know it didn't.. this is why i object to movements based on false premises and invented media lies / selective coverage.

  the people who suffer the most are not the ones marching in the streets.

  The article mentions a quote from a speech in which in which things like "undermined confidence in the police" (in effect) and the city's "policies on undocumented immigrants" are cited as reasons. It doesn't spell out BLM specifically but it's an easy conclusion to draw.

  An honest question for those who were "born-in"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  just wanted to ask a question of those who were born in as i was.. how did you feel to have been "privileged to have been born into the only true faith - the truth"?.

  did this make you feel confident, or proud - or perhaps arrogant?.

  how did you reconcile the fact that 99% of the earth's population was not born "into the truth"?.

  Sad but true. Since JW children are not loved just for being born and being themselves the only thing born-ins have is their specialness at being second third fourth generation JW.

  Coz inherited specialness is sooo special. The bible says so.

  I had been waiting for this video since 2013... DEFINITIVE PROOF that the Flag is placed in Kingdom Halls in Chile!

  now with english subtitles!.

  this is the definitive proof that kingdom halls in chile display the flag.

  a brave person went inside the kingdom hall while the meeting was happening and took video of the flag being displayed inside the kingdom hall property.

  I wonder what would happen if brothers elsewhere started displaying flags as a gesture of good will towards the government.

  Once I figured out it was lies and harmful to my mental health my conscience would not allow me to continue to attend just to pretend. I figured continuing to attend would be helping support the numbers and I didn't want to give one more thing to this cult.

  But, even when I was PIMI I reckoned at least half of the congregation didn't know or care if it was actually true they just liked the social aspects. Not exactly proof just a hunch I had.

  Canadian Court Protects JW Minor

  http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/jehovahs-witness-blood-transfusion-1.4299992.

  clearly the right move by this doctor and court.

  unfortunately, the watchtower continues to try and argue that so called "mature minors" (11-17 years old) should be allowed to follow their irrational policy on blood, even if death could result.

  Good to see some common sense prevail. The child's right to live is her greatest right after all.
