  One question to ask Lloyd Evans

  by usualusername1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  lloyd evans has a livestream and must answer all questions.

  the only catch.

  you can only ask one question plus a follow up.. my fave so far is would you want your daughter to marry a man who was unfaithful every few months with prostitutes.. what would you ask him?.

  Peak Cancel Culture

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  we seemed to have reached peak cancel-culture.

  now, we get to try to cancel the citizens of an entire country for something their government chose to do.. really, we can't allow russian individuals to compete in sports?

  to live a life?.

  Yes Simon - your OP is spot on.

  Part of living in the real world is dealing with people you don't necessarily like.

  Punishing Russian people for the things Putin is doing is moronic.

  Russian athletes are innocent of what is going on in Ukraine in that they're not responsible for it.

  And re this current situation in Ukraine, everybody is going to have to get round a table and start peace talks and compromises - with Russia included at the table (i.e. Russia can't be 'cancelled' from such proceedings).

  Don't get me wrong, Putin is not a nice human being. But he's not going anywhere and neither are his yes-men colleagues who are also from the Soviet era.

  i’m calling it folks, world war 3 looks like it’s a done deal.. belarus has entered ukraine, and nato is involved heavily, just not “boots on the ground”.. will there be a nuclear exchange?

  i would have said no 5 days ago, now i’m not so sure.. how will this effect wt?

  probably more of the same fear mongering..

  It'd put it at 50-50 as to whether Putin presses the big red button.

  Putin rules by fear and force.

  He invaded Ukraine rather lightly at first, and mainly spared civilians in combat areas. He was hoping that the fear of an invading army would make the Ukrainians wave the white flag.

  This didn't work, the Ukrainians have fought back and dug in. So now Putin is bombing indiscriminately, rolling in thermobaric weapons and a 40-mile convoy of tanks. He's now using force, because the initial attempt at using fear didn't work.

  Putin has spoken about putting his nuclear weapons into 'combat mode'. He's also said that if the West impedes his military operations, they'll see something they've never seen in their history. This is a clear warning/threat, and an attempt at using fear.

  Disturbingly, our politicians have so far dismissed this.

  The longer our politicians cock a deaf 'un, the more Putin will consider the other option.

  Is it 'philist-EYE-n' or 'philist-EE-n'?

  Also, Arabs call the area 'falasTeen' (فلسطين) and they call the wider area of the Levant 'ash-shaam' (الشام).

  Are Jehovahs Witnesses a cult?

  by GoverningBody in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this question has been presented many times throughout the years.

  somewhat recently, there has been much talk surrounding the "bite method" :.

  "bite” stands for behavior, information, thought, and emotional control.. some examples were thrown at me, such as the decisions of who we associate with, discouraging any worldy media, encouraging our brothers and sisters to report any of our misbehaviours to the elders, our rejection of criticism on the truth, shunning etc.. what do we think about this?.

  Is The Watchtower a cult?

  Well, this religion matches quite a few points of what a cult is, from what I remember.

  If it walks like a duck ...

  Jay the unfunny Comedian is calling everyone who disagrees with him racist now

  Context is everything.

  You can call someone a 'monkey' and the context isn't racial abuse. You can't just hear or read the word monkey and screech 'racism!'

  I knew a JW who had relatives in the US and his cousin was mixed-race (although this JW I knew called his cousin 'black') and about 8 years old at the time.

  And my JW friend was fretting about calling him a 'monkey' - like: 'you cheeky little monkey'.

  Where I'm from, white kids like me were called monkeys. My mum and dad called me a cheeky monkey loads of times when I was little.

  One more time: CONTEXT IS EVERYTHING.

  Lloyd has just threatened to go after everyone who has defamed him even if it takes years. He's asking his supporters for help in tracking down all individuals

  
  

  Total mentalcase ...

  @SBF - good video.

  That woman made lots of good points but also managed to be laugh-out-loud funny too.

  I gotta check her channel out.

  The Left and Present Truth

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  add yet another jw similarity to the list:.

  they say now the difference between a conspiracy theory and the truth is a matter of weeks.

  things like the effectiveness of masks and the vaccine, the origin of covid-19 in a lab, clinton spying on trump, the existence of a pedophile ring for the elites and more, things branded as conspiracy theories have been proven true.

Things like the effectiveness of masks and the vaccine, the origin of COVID-19 in a lab, Clinton spying on Trump, the existence of a pedophile ring for the elites and more, things branded as conspiracy theories have been proven true - The Left believe lots of weird shit, let's face it.

  Here are some more weird lefty shibboleths ...

  The UK and The US in current year are institutionally racist

  People of color can't be racist - only whites can be racist

  Trans-women are women

  There is no link between womanhood and things such as vagina, breasts, ovaries, womb and pregnancy

  Children who claim to be transgender should be given puberty-blockers

  Trans people (an unelected minority!) should determine what pronouns everybody else uses - human interaction isn't a two-way process after all

  The British Empire should be condemned for the bad stuff it did but it shouldn't be praised for the good things it accomplished

  The British Empire is worse than Nazi Germany because the British Empire killed more people than the Nazis did

  Gender disparity means that society is sexist.

  Biological sex is a spectrum (<--- an amazing piece of sophistry - the pattern of the data is binary, ie there are only two biological sexes, and the vast majority of people fit into this.)

  you have convicted him, sentenced him and had him offed in jail all in a couple of weeks - nope, we haven't done that at all.
