Why does every topic on here about a useful subject dive into American politics? I mean Ecclesiastes though not inspired has a statement right.."there is nothing new under the sun. One generation comes another goes..". Stop trying to follow governmental systems that date to roman times!!! So many political parties are a rehash of roman and earlier greek systems.. are they here? Nope. While Some obsess with government and how foreign people are idiots.. (They are not they are HUMAN) the rest of the world is trying to make 2021 are year of recovery.

May JW Broaadcast - so bad, "it's not even wrong"
by FFGhost indon't know how many of y'all still watch it.. this month's topic is "the king of the north" - cook goes into monotonous detail over the jw interpretation about rome, germany, ussr, russia, etc.. leaving aside for other commentators the emotionally manipulative videos of jws in russian holding cells, the tearjerker interviews, the god-awful stiffness of cook (i suspect he has never genuinely smiled, much less laughed, in his 60+ years), just thought i'd comment on one topic.. the centerpiece of the program is a "morning worship" monologue from splane.
let's again just leave to the side the dude's pomposity, smugness, and inflated sense of his own genius, and think about this part of his monologue.. he was tracing the history of the "king of the north" and talked about how "britain" (not england, not the united kingdom, not great britain, but "britain" - no idea why they have that fixation - anyway...) became the kotn in the 19th century.. paraphrasing his comments: "britain would not have become kotn if france had its way.
france was much wealthier and more powerful, but at the battle of waterloo, britain defeated france.

Socrates looked at young boys for hours on end.)
Job is obviously in the same style.
David and Jonathan's relationship makes perfect sense as does David dancing naked in 2 Samuel 6. And further Genesis 2 has Adam's rib stolen and after Adam being stitched back up. We therefore assume Woman is made from man. Uh... yeah.. same in Plato. Actually in Symposium Plato says women are dominated by men.. uh.. where have a heard this before?
BTW anyone that dates the Torah before Hellenization has major issues.
I can see my book needs to deal with all 40+ works of Plato.

The camp of Israel and the problem of pooping
by FFGhost inso, in a couple weeks, the jws move on in their bible-reading slog to the book of deuteronomy.. take a gander at deuteronomy 23:12,13:.
a private place should be designated for use outside the camp, and there is where you should go.
13 a peg should be part of your equipment.

Anony Mous I'm a biblical minimalist but I disagree. The history meets the bible at 1 Kings not the new testament. There is no reason to doubt a certain king after omri ruled and then died at a set year or that another guy (or girl in one case) overthrew them etc. This last until the Babylonian exile. (Remember I'm not saying all the stories in Kings are true but certain details such as Hezekiah's water tunnel etc are.
As for the New testament the most accurate book is Acts in places it quotes Josephus.

I enter sleep paralysis willingly most mornings it's a gateway to lucid dreaming. But as for the craziest thing the JWs ever demonize take a pick
1. The movie Avatar from morons having no idea about computer
2. Smufs. I had two stuffed toys as a child. No demons
3. A magic. Magic is an illusion. I have corresponded with a so called magician and I can tell you socalled magic is all a show and illusion. No demons or anything.

Over population
by mickbobcat inso i see some very counter intuitive videos on how there is no over population issue.
that the world will grow to about 11 billion and stop.
well that would be the first time in human history that population just stopped.

If it's a overpopulated where you live...move. even china is vastly sparse in the west. As for food.. that's a joke. Every grocery store is every country I have been in throws away expired food because there is too much on the shelves. As for sustaining farming I think the mentality of farming one crop is foolish. I have seen numerous examples of small hobby farms feeding a family of 10 more with more left over. As for farmland there is slot of room to be cleared in some countries if people want to invest in the land. 11 billion is on every single projection I have seen.

The absolute insanity that religion breeds
by LoveUniHateExams inhowever good certain religious principles may or may not be, there seems to be complete insanity that only religion breeds.. a buddhist monk in thailand has apparently chopped off his own head to give himself 'good luck' in the afterlife.. .

Bad fish yes I would hope our standards are better then Yahweh. Read Joshua for a change. Or read numbers 31 or 1 Samuel 15 and tell me how killing and raping children is just? (Yes I said rape.. read numbers 31 carefully) and while you are at it read the book of Esther and tell me why ten sons of hemen are murdered. I haven't even bothered with revelation yet and the justice in killing a third of people and wildlife because some people blaspheme god.

I agree that they SHOULD be allowed to post. Despite the triggers in the members here the fact is that most of us were once them. We need to answer their questions
