the usa, claiming that the usa supports freedom, has often supported revolutionaries/dissenters in other countries.. some examples:.
currently, the syrian war commenced circa 2011 in the so-called arab spring.
it is claimed that the usa supplied weapons to anti-government forces.
illegal immigrants
Heh hmmm. I don't know what else to say really. I have know f'n problem with legal migrants that work their way to the USA and got through all of the paperwork. I believe they should come, the more the marrier. but ILLEGALLY?????????????????????????????? NO.
My wife is from Mexico. Her dad came here LEGALLY when she was like 2. She is against ILLEGAL immigrants. That should f'n tell you something.
another thread on here made me think of it.. its a personal peeve of mine.. you bow your head in prayer and the brother says thinks like thank you for the lessons we learned today like bla bla bla and for that wonderful point about yadda yadda yadda.
jehovah we know that etc etc etc therefore we must...well you get the gist.and on and on it goes.
absolutely drives me mad..
When I was "in" (physically and mentally), I would show my displeasure by not saying Amen at the end. Kind of silly, but gave me a sense of revolt. :>
This was a regular occurrence at CAs/DAs, when long-winded gas bags would get up and blather for 5-10 minutes. I never understood that crap...worthless, arrogant prayers.
Of course, now I know they were just suck up douche bags to the DO/CO, so the whole thing makes sense...
can we expect legal problems for trump to cripple his authority?
remember that trump u. is still pending as well as multiple accusations of groping.
there is that one case of the woman claiming he raped her at 13. wow america, you really know how to pick'em.
Senate too. Dem's are screwed for at least 2 years, if not 4 :-> It's a great day =D
i am incredibly disturbed.
many of the jws i'm still friends with on facebook are incredibly excited that trump won the american presidential race, posting, "yay!
i'm so happy!
I don't know who ya'll are talking to. Everyone at my job and friends/acquaintances are relieved Trump won and that we don't have to have a lying bitch, corrupt scumbag, and future convict in office. It's rainbows and butterflies for my inner circle today :->
Well, yes...as long as you don't get caught by the BOE. :> Or a snitch.
conventions always just seemed like more of a vacation to me than anything else, especially if you had to travel out of town for it, but definitely were exhausting especially toward the end of each day.
for some reason i didn't mind the special and circuit assemblies too much, probably because they seemed like more of a social event than anything else and only 1-2 days.
the memorial always was kind of boring to me.
Talks and parts - Yes.
Scantily cladded hot young girls - No (When I was the appropriate age)
as we know, every month on the "official broadcasting" presentation, a new "music video" is presented.. can these possibly be any more cringe-worthy??.
the words, music, singing are so, so bad....i mean, so bad!.
surely witnesses are not so stupid that they don't harbor secret feelings of awkwardness when they see these?.
Iown Mylife - I remember that atrocity. Actually, one of a stout elder's wife, M.G., loudly lambasted them as horrible and toneless. It was quite a scandal coming from her, as their family is very respected in the area.
it occurred to me the other day that i don't actually know all that much about the bible.
dont get me wrong, i was a very dedicated and studious jehovah's witness and i studied the bible every day - or so i thought.
i have now realised that during the time i spent in that religion i didn't study the bible - i studied jehovah's witness theology.
It was funny for me really, because I had always thought JW's were scholars when I was "in" LOLFLSOWLSSFLS
Then I woke up and learned the TTATT. After that, i noticed that except for the weekly bible reading and highlights, JWs never actually "studied" the Bible during meetings. It was more about how to witness and JW rules and regulations. That's when I knew for sure the whole thing was a scam and a cult.
I mean, even a "Bible study" isn't actually a study of the bible, just a study of JW beliefs. WTF GD SOB!!!!!!!!!
i guess this is not so much about guilt, per se, but more so if you feel an obligation to reveal what you now know about ttatt, to those who you have studied with, taught the "truth" to, and are still in the borg ?.
i am sure most of us, after learning about the evils, and lies perpetrated by this organization, must feel some sort of guilt for being the catalyst in "exposing" others to the cult.
honestly, i feel none of us should actually, feel guilty though.
It wasn't too difficult. When I first started to fade (before I just started lying blatantly about my time), I would just "lose" any potential RV info. As in throw it in the trash. So take good notes in front of my partner, then toss it at the house. Pretty easy. Of course, once I just started faking time and going to my "worldly" gf's house to play video games every Sat morning, the whole gig became even easier.
i need some ideas to raise money for my study research trip for west africa in cape coast ghana..
spank bank every other day...
