  KURD is the word - and the word is KURD

  kurd is the word - the word is kurd________who the heck are they?.

  once upon a time, world war one ended and three people created a new place out of thin air called: iraq.

  (gertrude bell, lawrence of arabia, winston churchill).this new country was divided up into 3 chunks:kurdsunnishia_____solemn promises made by colonel t.e.

  The current situation in Syria is much more than just the mistakes of the Sykes-Picot Agreement.

  With the benefit of hindsight, it's easy to say that the Kurds should have been given their own nation state. Yeah, that's a good point but it's very easy to breezily declare that with 20/20 vision/hindsight.

  The Middle East has always been a region rife with tribalism, massacres, 'holy wars', beheadings and genocide.

  Here's a clip from a day or two ago in northern Syria. Syrian Sunni extremists, supported by the Turkish army, promise to behead any 'infidel' Kurd they find. A truly disturbing threat, when we consider the fate of James Foley, Stephen Sotloff, David Haines and Alan Henning.

  And here's another thing: a large chunk of our mainstream media are highly critical of the USA being the world's policeman. And these same media criticise Trump for pulling troops out of Syria.

  Well, what's it gonna be?

  You can't have it both ways, darlings.

  The apostat.es are coming!

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. links

  the new site at www.apostat.es will provide a few free tools to help us reach out to the jehovah's witnesses we still care about.

  podcasts can be hosted for free, as can blogs and articles.

  you can create your own store to sell your apostate tee shirts, posters calendars etc.. it will show jw's that apostates are normal, healthy folks who simply changed their minds about their former beliefs.

  Normal people don't make tee-shirts to show people how normal they are - wrong. Normal people make tee-shirts with stuff on all the god damn time. There's even a word for it - 'merch'.

  Normal people don't refuse blood transfusions.

  Normal people report child abuse and allegations of child abuse to the police.

  Confession Time - Music You're Embarrassed to Admit Listening To

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  admit it, we all have things that we reel off when people ask what our favourite music is, just the same as if people ask what our favourite movies are.

  we're meant to say "citizen kane" and "casablanca" and not "battleship" or "pacific rim" but we know what we're going to watch if they are ever on tv at the same time (and which ones we've never actually seen).. so how about some confession time?

  what do you listen to when no one else is in the house?.

  I like the pipes in it (whatever you call them).

  Here's another blast from the past (from the 90s this time).

  Me and my mates used to listen to hardcore music (happy, jungle and techno) when I was about 15, 16 and 17.

  Here's a song from 1996. It mixes a happy hardcore tune with Blur's Girls and Boys.

  The vid also features a couple of cute dancers.

  JWs, The WatchTower Society, Child Abuse and Disfellowshipping

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  something just struck me.. is the wts the only religion that won't kick people out for abusing children, but would kick you out for visiting a website that informs you that the wts won't kick people out for abusing children .... it really shows where their sensibilities lie.

  they are more interested in acting as gatekeepers to information, especially information about them, than providing basic levels of protection to the children of their members.. maybe someone with a better turn of phrase can shorten it, it might make a good meme - something short and simple that really makes people think:.

  "the wts - tougher on those who read reports of jw child abuse than on jws who conduct child abuse".

  Take a Moment and Think About How Awesome You Are

  by Simon in

  2. friends

  it's easy to get bogged down with life and think you're not getting ahead or progressing.

  but regardless of where we think things may be going, pretty much everyone who's come through this site is an achiever who's done an amazing thing in one way or another even if they may not think about it.. so think about it!.

  you got past and over your programming and indoctrination.

  Yeah, you're spot on Simon.

  I am, indeed, completely awesome.

  I'm glad others recognise it - I thought it was just me.

  Here's another guilty pleasure ...

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wN2tHv8gPm8
  

  It's gay AF but I love the bass/beat. The original video was shot in Heaven, a gay nightclub in London. I always thought the blonde haired barmaid in the vid was gorgeous, the way she shaked her hips to the beat hypnotised me (e.g. @1 min 15 secs).

  And I love the little bit in the song starting @3 min 13 secs - I always thought that was great, for some reason.
  

  I also loved the way Holly Johnson (the lead singer) played with the little tiger - that was cute.

  I'm not gay, honest!!! XD
