i look at tv and the media as all fiction.. i wonder if the media is now just a tool to cauterise the brain and zombify us?
i'm sure the uk's bbc does.
it seems to be a tool to brainwash people to buy into latest agenda or trend that must be followed.....or you're an outcast like a disfellowshipped one.
PS - you have a point about media bias, too.
If a person didn't know anything about Britain and watched the BBC (our national broadcaster), that person might conclude that about a third of our population was black, with another 20% gay, and that there was a nice cosy consensus that trans women are women.
None of this is true, of course - Britain is a white-majority country, approx. 3% of the population is gay, and there is currently no consensus that trans women are women.

You're probably right, Punk.
I stopped paying the TV license in Sept 2012, when I first went to uni. And I've never paid it since. I don't watch telly because a lot of it is shit - I don't even own a TV. Apart from nature programs and live sport, it's pretty much crap.
I love film, so a few years ago I bought myself a DVD player for £79. I now own about 200 movies on DVD, plus stuff like Red Dwarf, Fawlty Towers and Twin Peaks. I also own Walking With Dinosaurs, The Blue Planet and Planet Earth II ... all on DVD.
I don't miss watching telly one bit.

Hi Deeno, nice to hear from you.
With regard to the WTS, take your time about your future, what you want to do with your life. I hope you make good decisions from here on in.
PS - how can your pronouns be he and they? It's one or the other, surely...?

Good comments, Thisismein1972, from the previous page.
As I've previously stated, Lloyd isn't unintelligent.
But he seems to think his intellectual ability/potential is worth 'protecting' whenever any kind of criticism is offered. He seems to think that he needs to post different kinds of comments just to 'win' the argument.
And that's just not how discussions/arguments are supposed to work.
It seems Lloyd just doesn't 'get it'.
With proper, adult discussions, intelligent people can give different opinions, and even criticisms, so that different ideas can be batted around. It's how we, as a society, sort things out.
And Lloyd is a complete non-starter in this regard ...
the bible records resurrections and there is orher evidence besides that gives hope.
what do you think, is there enough evidence to believe in another life?.
There is no way of verifying the existence of God.
There is no way of verifying the existence of an afterlife.
I guess I'll find out about it on my deathbed.
What I do know, is that this life right now is real, so I'll concentrate on this.
"can the ethiopian change his skin?
", feb. 15, 1904 watch tower.
we answer, no.
'The Ethiopian' lol
This crap is so crazy I just gotta laugh at it
'Me sad because me can't change me skin'
I don't think biological male humans are naturally monogamous.
Look at how many men cheat on their partners, or 'trade her in for a younger model'
i thought it was just me that had a negative view of people who proclaim themselves to be activists.. but no, it seems i'm not alone!.
.
To me, an activist is someone who is obsessed with one thing.
As a result of this, they often can't see the bigger picture.
E.g. Just Stop Oil activists want all of us to stop using oil now.
And we just can't do that. We can only transition from oil to more environmentally-friendly options over a period of time.
Also, I note a lot of activists are intellectually dishonest in their arguments, again because of their tendency toward monomania. Some opinions (e.g. 'trans women aren't women') simply won't be engaged with.
i know who won't be saved according to witnesses and that includes just about everyone alive at armageddon who is not a jehovah’s witness.
.
others who are permanently lost include adam and eve, those who died in the flood, people of sodom and gomorrah and apostates to their one true religion..
Q. Who will be saved, according to WT doctrine?
A. Only those people who are active JWs, people who are attending meetings and going out on field service.
So, we're looking at maybe 4 or 5 million people out of a global population of 8 billion.
i know there was a leak a few weeks back, but this really does seem to have come out of the blue.. the anomaly was the original decision.
it clearly had no basis in law or the constitution, and was a flimsy, ridiculous ruling.
plus the whole thing was based on a fraudulent case in the first place.. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61928898.
There is no chance of fetal viability or fetal pain till like the 20 week - the nervous system of the foetus isn't functional until week 20?
I've got a feeling a foetus can feel pain earlier than the 20th week ...
