Jeb Bush would kill a baby !

by Simon in

ok, specifically he was talking about hitler.

apparently he was asked whether, if he could go back in time, he would kill him when he was a baby.. and he said "hell yeah !".

but still wtf?

The moderator here is a very good provocateur apparently. I haven't ever commented on this site about Benghazi or the House hearings, so that's a new one on me. I am simply challenging his overtly false and misleading assertions and left wing political bias. just as he makes many anti conservative comments. My opinion. It is not personal. I am a conservative and proud to be so.

Mr. Bush has a very long and well documented political career as Governor of Florida. I don't particularly like him but I judge him on his record, and some of his family baggage follows him of course.

I enjoy having spirited and respectful exchanges about politics and world history.

My wife enjoys living here for half the year as do I. Warmer southern climates after the New Year.

Of course these are all your opinions based on your own overt political bias. That's fine. It seems that if one engages on this site with you on real issues of the day, such as issues that a legitimate US citizen would, you are shut down or your posts are deleted. Yes, read and quote Politico...Salon..MSNBC...or the Huffington Post..bastions of independent political thought. You're kidding right?

This is a typical response of the left wing. You really don't want to have a free and open debate on issues, but you simply want to lecture people on here with this nonsense. Running out red herrings and overt distractions from the real issues of the economy, jobs, economic freedom and personal liberty serves no one. Did you actually watch the CNBC and CNN Republican debates? Who could possibly think that that those debates served the voter? I am a US citizen living in Canada.

Vote for the democratic socialist or the overt liar who is under FBI investigation. Maybe they'll kiss the dead baby and harvest the body parts for profit. They can't get your vote. You can't vote in the US.

The Bible can help JWs to stop judging homosexuals. Try this method.

by DATA-DOG in

i ask, "did god cause evil?

god did it!

whether they answer with #1 or #2, you've got them.

Greener

Yeah, maybe so. They can believe different things of course. Some view it as a sin against nature or the Creator.

I'm imparting this from my own personal experience/perspective, growing up in all of this cultish stuff. Others will have their own experiences of course.

Past not passed..geez.

I don't think most JWs can get passed some of these points as we know.

If one is gay, you are telling Jehovah the Creator, that he as the Creator, made you wrong. ie. your parts don't match up with your orientation or who you are. A scripture mentions the pot telling the potter that it was made wrong.

Humans were meant to procreate and fill the earth, as was his original purpose for humankind. How can gays procreate?

We have the biblical accounts of Sodom and Gomorrah etc etc, and Jesus Christ himself stating that marriage was between a man and a woman.

No 'Tight Pants' policy is now official - classed as 'disturbing'

by wizzstick in

in short:- tight pants is no longer just a am3 hang up (or is that a hang up on the well hung?

)- brothers who have effeminate body language are flagged up- as are sisters with 'masculine' hair styles or dress- such dress is 'disturbing to the congregation'- the above must heed the (repeated) counsel from the elders...or they get stripped of the right to share on the ministry- however...this will not be revealed (announced) to the congregation.

wow.

Greener

The prohibition of going out in the ministry would only apply if you allowed it to. Do most on here live in free democratic societies?? I would throw this all back in their faces and turn in my hours regardless. What would the elders do...throw out your time slips? And if so, who cares??

If you wanted to go out in the service on your own with your metrosexual attire, and not with the "group", how could they stop you?? Post an elder outside your door 24-7???

Its nonsense on so many levels.

"The likelihood of Hitler being able to accomplish his goals would have been greatly diminished if the people had been armed"

by nicolaou in

presidential hopeful ben carson of course.

this isn't another gun control debate, i just thought it might be fun to have a topic where we can dump all the hysterical quotes from the candidates.. it's a deep and plentiful mine folks!

To those who rail against what Carson had to say about the Jews and other anti-Hitlerite forces in Germany and guns/arms before WW2, did you all forget about the Warsaw Ghetto uprising during the war, where the Jews were armed and held off the Nazis for weeks?

Chairman Mao, Comrade Lenin, Pol Pot, confiscated private arms and weapons, starved their own people for political purposes, the largest perpetrators of mass murder in the 20th century. This isn't blaming the victims, its just a fact of history.

Obama and the leftists loonies on here cannot get rid of the US constitution. They hate the document and they are acting like babies because they can't get their own way. They hate that a principled and brilliant man of color, does not tow the usual democrat/socialist party line thinking about big government and political correctness. That's how open minded the left is. What a joke.

Who Are Your Past Circuit Overseers? It's a small world..

by mentallyfree31 in

who were your past circuit overseers?

i'm sure a lot of us actually know mutual people, as the co's relocate all over the country.. here's a few from the southeast us: (let me know if you recognize any names and post yours too please...).

ellwood johnson (new york/philadelphia area for several years also).

In southern Ontario area a couple of note:

Verne Duncombe Early 1970s, as a kid I remember him playing the piano at the hall. White white hair.

Jack Danley Early 1980s..83..84. Old fire and brimstone Jack. "This congregation is dead. Brothers...wake up.." "Brothers at the back of the hall..would you please break up the card game and join the rest of the congregation" What a character.

I remember his overly loud singing of the kingdom songs.

The Watchtower Society is confused over its “Seventy Years” and "Seven Times"

by Doug Mason in

until now, the watch tower society [wts] has argued that the 70 years was a period during which judah was totally and completely depopulated.

for this reason, it constantly argued that the period commenced when the jews left judah and entered egypt.

jerusalem was destroyed in the fifth month (two months before october/tishri).

Greener

Doesn't the WTS say when they're backed into a corner, that "Bible Chronology" as they interpret it, trumps the secular historical records? ie. shut up and obey..we know better than you do?? Don't do your own research? I would say that that's IRONIC, seeing how wrong they have been with their previous false prophetic utterances. Oh yes..thats a sign that they have Gods spirit upon them...where else can they go???

I've never seen or read the WTS use the terms "alluding" or "ironic" or "poetic" in describing the Bible or the so-called historical Biblical record, when secular historical documentation in whatever form, disproves their theories or so-called prophetic utterances regarding the 7 times or 70 years or 1914. Those are your poor lame excuses for the WTS failed teachings. Its silly gobblygook.

ie. your opinion
