i know this happened several years ago but.... holy christ!
they beat the poor girl 160 times with a 3/4 inch cable!
"in a slow, steady voice, assistant state's atty.
JW kids were always expendable to the WT..... Blood, flag salute, no nursery or Sunday school for kids. These are the facts - sad but true.
I guess I was lucky, my parents didn't slavishly adhere to 'spare the rod and spoil the child'.
I got a few smacks, but mostly I'd be grounded, sent to my room or whatever.
I was a cheeky little sod, too. I remember getting a smack from my mum and I just said 'didn't hurt', lol.
back in the day, tons of witnesses were brought in the “back room “ to be counseled by elders because of their dress and grooming.
some elders frowned on mustaches or hair that went past a certain point on a male.
women were regularly harassed because their skirt was too long or too short or had a slit on the side.
I don't know if you have them in the US, but in the UK we have got these places where you shoot each other with laser guns. You have to wear a kinda belt. And you only score a hit when you shoot the belt, from what I remember.
I think the name is Quasar, or something like it.
And there were several of us brothers who went to one of these places years ago, when I was 17.
Each of us had to have a chat in the back room because of it.
Shooting each other with laser guns apparently wasn't Christian, lol.
hey folks!.
just wondering if any of you jwn posters have favorite movie mistakes or bloopers?.
i think jackie brown (1997) is an excellent film, and the scene featuring ordell robbie (samuel l. jackson) and beaumont livingston (chris tucker) is perfect … well, almost.. samuel l. jackson almost bursts out laughing at 4 mins 52 secs, because of chris tucker's improvised line ('you catch a n*gga off guard with this sh1t!').

So, got any movie mistakes or bloopers?
i do not support crt.
but having said that i find it disturbing that schools are teaching children whatever they want to teach.
if parents object or even teachers refuse to teach something, anything that violates their conscience or morals, i don’t think government or schools have the right to push these people to accept it.
@Min - it's more than just stupid, it's dangerous.
Hitler blamed Jews for pretty much everything wrong with 1930s Germany, and we all know what that led to.
And consider what's happening now, schoolkids being brainwashed with CRT. Society will become more divided, racial tensions will increase, and white kids are gonna be picked on by black kids, etc.
I have no problem with left-wing idiots believing left-wing crap, generally speaking.
But when their left-wing crap harms other people, then I have a big problem with it.
There has recently been an article published by a psychiatrist (who himself is white). And this article calls 'whiteness' a mental illness. As you say, replace white with any other ethnic group. Imagine a published article calling blackness a mental illness or whatever. So, yeah, this shit is really bad.

Here's another parent who is talking to her local education board and asking them to dump CRT.
She's in beast mode here, I wouldn't want to p!ss her off, lol …

CRT shouldn't be taught as it is currently.
Because there are no opposing views being taught alongside it.
Hence, CRT is being shoved down children's throats as propaganda.
This must stop.
This is what one parent thinks about the situation ...
just because you believe something as truth, it doesn’t make it truth.
religious leaders may be admired and believed but they could be dead wrong.
politicians can spout out “facts” that support their truth yet once further evidence comes through these facts are questionable.
The dutch term waar-heid is also related to our "ware" , like in warehouse - I didn't know this.
I know German, and waarheid is the Dutch equivalent of the German Wahrheit (truth).
i always understood the term 'black' (or 'black', if you write for the guardian) to refer to sub-saharan africans or people of sub-saharan african origin.. but, perhaps in a rush to embrace victimhood, more and more people are today are using the term black to refer to other people.. so, apparently barack obama is black - 'the first black president of the united states'.. and lewis hamilton is supposedly the only black driver in formula one.. and jordan peele is a black film director, apparently.. and then there's meghan markle.. there may also be people of pakistani heritage who refer to themselves as black.. and, sorry to say, it's all a load of bullsh*t.. barack obama, lewis hamilton, jordan peel, halle berry and meghan markle are all biracial (mixed-race).
they're not black.
disregarding the other half of their ethnic heritage is intellectually dishonest.. .
@Anony Mous - I agree with you that America hasn't had a black president yet.
But 'Obama is black'? The dude's half white. If I claimed him as a white president, you'd think I'd gone nuts, but this is little different from claiming him as black.
Personally, I'd rather we concentrate on a person's character and, for a politician, policies.
But if we're gonna talk about race, let's try and be accurate, y'know.
Over in the UK, we'd call Obama mixed-race. I'm not sure if this is derogatory to Americans - I think you guys prefer the term 'biracial'.
Barack Obama - first biracial US President. <--- nothing wrong with this.
PS - just noticed you've edited your comment 'Obama was black' to 'Obama was perhaps black (at least 50%)'.

@PistolPete - MJ was a black guy who tried to make himself white.
Kinda the opposite of Rachel Dolezal, lol …

Some racist folks have always understood that one drop of "non-white blood" makes a person "not Caucasian" - strange, then, that people calling Obama 'black' are seemingly aligning themselves with the racist folks.
