  The Guardian:

  Russian intelligence agents hacked a US voting systems manufacturer in the weeks leading up to last year’s presidential election . . . Russian military intelligence carried out a cyber-attack on at least one US voting software supplier and sent spear-phishing emails to more than a hundred local election officials days before the poll. Although the document does not directly identify the company in question, it contains references to a product made by VR Systems, a Florida-based vendor of electronic voting services and equipment whose products are used in eight states.

  
  

  There is still a great deal of uncertainty over how successful the Russian operatives were and does not reach a conclusion about whether it affected the outcome of the election. But the suggestion that Russian hackers may gained at least a foothold in electronic voting systems is likely to add even more pressure to special counsel and congressional investigations.

  3 male passengers then get out and start stabbing / shooting people according to early reports.. but it could have been anyone for any reason, who knows, possibly jehovahs witnesses or amish.. maybe we'll never know the reason but i'm sure there will be people praying for those involved and hashtags.. thus solving the problem once and for all.. just "life in a big city" according to the muslim mayor of london, sadiq khan..

  If you find this statement absurd:

  Praying five times a day has nothing to do with Islam!

  Then you should find this statement equally absurd:

  Jihad has nothing to do with Islam!

  i'm not real sure if it's 50/50 but i know trump has a lot of key advisers that live for the war machine, and what's the good of weapons that never get used.

  kimmy seems hell bent on a fireworks display..

  I'd say less than a one percent chance. However, if articles of impeachment are drawn up, I think the likelyhood will be much higher.

  Anything to distract the people.

  Trump can't even negotiate a good budget deal with the Dems when he controls the house, the senate, and the executive branch. How's he going to negotiate a good deal with the ENTIRE world?

  Trump is a total failure as a negotiator. I wouldn't trust him to get me a good deal on a set of tires. Much less entrust him with fate of our entire planet.

  A "better deal"?

  Yeah, let's light the house on fire and kick out the first fire fighters that show up in hopes of getting a "better deal".

  I swear, it would be nice to have at least one thread without some idiot regurgitating Fox News moronic talking points.

  This is the welfare of our planet we're talking about. The "better deal" is taking serious steps to mitigate the harmful effects of climate change as quickly as we can!!

  100-million man hours

  the james webb telescope is set to launch in october of 2018 and will allow us to study the formation of first generation stars, the molecular clouds that became the first galaxies, and directly image exoplanets.

  roughly one hundred times more powerful than the hubble space telescope the jwst is going to push back the current boundaries of science.. this is what 100-million man hours can accomplish.. .

  Stratigies to get a loved one out

  i don't think there's any "one right way" to go about trying to show friends and family that the religion is both false and harmful.

  but i do think there are a couple of things we should keep in mind..

  I don't think there's any "one right way" to go about trying to show friends and family that the religion is both false and harmful. But I do think there are a couple of things we should keep in mind.

  1.) The religion is a social network

  If we are going to get someone out it would be helpful if they have friends and family outside of the organization to whom they could gravitate. Getting them to spend quality time with non-JWs may be the best thing we can do. Building relationships with people outside of the religion gives them not only a safety net - but also cements the notion that non-JWs can be good people too.

  2.) The religion controls information

  Putting "apostate" material in front of trapped friend or family member probably isn't a good idea. However, giving them the tools to do research on their own can be highly effective. For example, showing them something benign like a link to the interlinear Bible

  http://biblehub.com/interlinear/john/3.htm

  or, if their into science, maybe an article on ancestry showing that humanity has been around much longer than 6,000 years

  http://www.nytimes.com/1997/03/24/world/tracing-your-family-tree-to-cheddar-man-s-mum.html

  The point here isn't to pursue any one line of evidence. But rather to give them the tools to access information outside the JW bubble.

  3.) It's best to ask simple questions - and follow up.

  You don't have to get into the teachings of 607BC. It can be something as simple as "Why do animals suffer and die?"

  Ask the question - let them answer. And then leave it alone. Wait until the next time you see them bring it up, "Hey, you know how I asked you about animal suffering and you said x, y, and z? Do you really think that's true?" And let them answer again. And then leave it alone.

  We have to remember that it's not about winning any particular argument. Rather, it's about getting them to think outside of the JW box. To get them questioning their own beliefs.

  . . .

  Just some ideas I've been kicking around. I've had success getting two friends out - but they were kind of already on their own path if you know what I mean. Anyways, I'd love to hear what your guys think. Anything else you've found has been / might be effective?
