good move or bad?
?.
Clearly he was a bad guy, responsible for many us deaths. I'm not sure how this will help us interests at this time, but I'm willing to wait.
I dislike trump but I wont say this is the wrong move, but I am curious what his plan is. As much as a dislike him i have never taken him to be a hawk. Maybe he is trying to throw everybody off, I dont know.
everyone seems to be hitting the apology circuit.
if you ever said anything inappropriate or what might be considered offensive, then you must apologize.
if you possibly could have hurt someone’s feelings, you need to say sorry.
It all depends I think. We all know the type that is needlessly offended, quick to lose their cool, generally difficult to deal with. Apologies may not be in order, they are going to have to learn to grow up.
With that said, I still swear by how to win friends and influence people, especially in the work environment. One of the keys in that book was when you make a mistake, own it, and apologize. I think that's true at work, people will be more apt to work with you when they realize you are honest with yourself and not quick to shift the blame.
Just my 2 cents.
@JimmyYoung
Obviously you have never driven while black. A black friend of mine got pulled over while on a business trip here in the midwest. Officer right away stated he could smell weed, called for backup, a routine traffic stop turned into a whole ordeal. I start talking to her family about it and I was stunned how many of them have been pulled over. Myself? Once.
I'm not saying things are as bad as they used to be, but go and meet some people with different backgrounds before you start with such nonsense.
I dont know whatwoke is exactly, I prefer to use common sense and try to challenge my beliefs.
reports indicate that many people are physically and emotionally getting sick because they are disturbed by political matters.
some require professional help!.
What is the deep state exactly?
i have been sad to see so many groups and individuals say that the cause of these events are the mental status of the shooters.
i have looked over the backgrounds of these shooters, and few had medically identified mental health issues.
it is too easy to think that people shoot or kill other people because they are mentally ill.. actually, many or most people with real mental illnesses are most likely to be the victims of others.. i have been a volunteer with the organization called nami (national alliance of mental lillness) for 25 years now.
Not intentionally rickroll.

I happened to read this article I thought it was interesting. Not political either which is rare when discussing mass shootings.

4 commonalities were found:
1. Childhood trauma and exposure to violence.
2. They had reached an identifiable crisis in the weeks or months before, like a change in job status.
3. Most had studied other shooters.
4. All had the means to carry out their plans.
Worth a read I think.
from john redwood.... a preview of upcoming news:.
jehovah's witnesses are appealing to the supreme court of the united states, but this time it has nothing to do with preaching or saluting the flag.. it's all about child abuse.. specifically, the protection (or cover-up) of information, documents, and testimony of persons involved in cases of child abuse.. i will be covering this story in the coming weeks and months, but i thought i would share some of this news and try to distill it down as simply as i can.. i'd like to point out first that watchower has appealed to the supreme court in connection with their loss of yet another california child abuse case.
the chance that watchtower's appeal being will be heard by the supreme court is slim, but anything is possible.. what brought this about?.
I hope the supreme court refuses the watchtower appeal, the lower court got this right.
i am confused about the time scale regarding the year of the destruction of jerusalem.
in the 1st october 2011 watchtower an argument is presented to back up 607 bc but there are so many conflicting arguments that this happened 20 years later according to secular sources.
your thoughts please..
Oh I understand that Finkelstein, I'm just wondering how the defense of 607 will hold up when the society changes its understanding of the weeks and 1914 and all that.
Time continues to move on, It will be interesting to see how they wiggle out of that one.

Scholar why does it matter that Jerusalem was destroyed in 607, compared to 587?
i actually visited the kh a few days ago.
i just needed to see some friends.
i hadn't been in months.
I have not be to a kh in probably 6 years or so, I will not be going back.
At the same time, there are alot of people I miss, friends who would have done anything to help me. They obviously do not feel the same way anymore, but I do miss them, I hope they wake up, i hope they see what is going on.
I hate what I was taught, but at the same time, certain qualities that were stressed since i was young have benefitted me with my friends and professionally. I think I might be rambling, but I think most people in life are good, and that includes alot of jws, I just wish they could see the big picture.
I know those who have left jws have happiness and freedom, I know I do, but I would absolutely be lying if I said I didn't miss my old friends.
