probably but they’ve sent him back pretty darn quick!

i have from a very reliable source that he attends one of the poughkeepsie ny congregations.

i think there are 5 congregations there might be worth paying a visit if anyone lives near there..

Yes, I got a couple questions.
JWs believe that the governing body are God's only channel on the earth, and that they must obey the GB to remain in the good standing.
Why have the GB got religious things wrong? - is that the GB messing up, or is their communication line to God a bit dodgy?
Why should JWs follow the GB, and not Christ?
Why is the faithful slave parable taken literally, and not left as just a parable?
Does the JW org owe victims of child abuse money?

England: Failure to Report Child Abuse to be Illegal
by notsurewheretogo in
1. watchtower
2. child-abuse
people who work with children in england will be legally required to report child sexual abuse or face prosecution under government plans.. .

the move - which is subject to a consultation - was recommended last year by the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse (iicsa).. .

the home secretary told the bbc she wanted to correct one of the "biggest national scandals".. .

All cases of child abuse must be reported, irrespective of the ethnicity of the perpetrators or the victims.
The Asian grooming gangs got away with it for so long because people were scared of being called racist.
Now, people must be fired from their jobs and be answering questions under oath in a court of law.

The Ukrainian war and events surrounding it are quite complex, and worthy of discussion.
Do you have anything of value to add to this discussion, beyond telling people to fuck off?

@peacefulpete - disgraceful slurs in your last post.
For a start, it's not just the right that don't go along with the mainstream media's official narrative, there are left-wingers such as Corbyn and Diane Abbot, and even our very own SlimBoyFat, who I'm guessing is of the left - these people also refuse to swallow Western propaganda. It doesn't necessarily mean they, or me, are pro-Russian.
If you look at my posts, all I've ever really said is 'I want this war to stop and I want peace as soon as possible' <--- this would be a fair summary of my comments.

That last comment wasn't what you said originally.
You originally said 'I can't believe that standing up to aggressors ... is prolonging the war'.
That was not my point. My point, again, is this: The West has given lots of military hardware to Ukraine, and this has prolonged the war.
How difficult is this to understand?

@Corney - I suggest you read through this thread again because you've missed the point.
The point is this: the West sending Ukraine military hardware has prolonged the war.
You either want peace as soon as possible or you want Ukraine to win the war.
But you cannot have both.

@peacefulpete
No, you haven't been very useful here.
Ukrainian national pride is just one aspect to this conflict.
The sooner both sides meet around the negotiating table the better.

Yeah, interesting essay.
If Putin does decide to invade Lithuania, Latvia or Estonia, then these NATO member states will rightly defend themselves, aided by other NATO countries.
I have already heard about Putin's essay, which the author links to. Putin does indeed argue that Ukrainians, Belorussians and Russians are the same people. Although it's perhaps important to note that he doesn't include ethnic Lithuanians, Latvians or Estonians in his analysis.
I'm not 100% on whether Putin will attack the Balkans. If he does then he can have no qualms when the UK and US get properly involved.
Personally, I feel that if Putin has a next target it will be Moldova. Transnistria is an eastern area in Moldova which is populated by ethnic Russians who are looking to Moscow.
There's one thing I wonder about the West's wonderful relationship with Ukraine and it's this:
What does the West get out of it?
I understand what Ukraine gets out of it - lots of free military hardware costing billions of pounds/dollars.
Does Zalenskyy intend to pay us back at some point?
Let's imagine that in 5 years time, Argentina invades the Falklands. Would Ukraine give us some military hardware and equipment, or help us in some other way?
The West-Ukraine relationship seems to be one-way. Relationships without reciprocity rarely last long.
