  all across america there are areas where people are trying to enforce christian law!

  outsiders are strictly forbidden from entering and they have private security and guards to keep people out.

  There's a difference between having a no-go zone which is really just someone's private property, not open to the public, and what becomes a no-go zone because it's an enclave taken over by some group but not really "theirs" - what should be public areas.

  Fox News isn't flipping out because Muslims are taking over public property. These right wing nut bags are lighting their hair on fire because Muslims are on private property. They have one standard for Christians and an entirely different standard for Muslims:

  This one in Southern California has Mormon razor wire

  

  And here - it looks like a radical Christians group is trying to build some kind of prison compound in New York State

  

  We must stop these Christian no go zones from happening otherwise we'll soon all be forced to live under Christian Law and might end up locked up in their jails!!!!!!

  Should private citizens be allowed to video record law enforcement?

  by Fisherman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i saw an article in the news yesterday that laws are going to be passed subjecting the police to being recorded by anyone while performing their duty or enforcing the law and encourages citizens to sue if they interfere.

  some law enforcement agents become angry and confiscate recording devices from people recording them while making an arrest, etc.. it does seem that the work that the police and other government agents do is public and not private or confidential so there should be nothing to hide from the cameras.

  on the other hand, how can one distinguish being shot by a camera or by a weapon until one is hit?.

  Are you serious? You really think someone - especially police officers who go through years of training - can't tell the difference between a cell phone and a fire arm? Do you think every time a cop is standing in line at the grocery store and someone pulls out their cell phone the cop instinctively reaches for their gun? Do you think that bank clerks hit their panic button when you pull out your cell phone at the teller window?

  What kind of question is this???

  Hell Exists

  by Poppy520 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  many people of all denominations are beginning to believe that hell does not exist - but the bible supports the claim that it does.

  examine this verse, one under nkjv and the other nwt:.

  nkjv - matthew 25:46, "and these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.".

  WARNING: PEDANTIC POST AHEAD (you've been warned :)p

  ...

  The Bible "makes the claim" that hell exists. It doesn't "support the claim" that hell exists. These are two entirely separat propositions.

  Because making a claim is a conclusion. Whereas supporting a claim is a premise.

  con·clu·sion

  kənˈklo͞oZHən/

  noun

  a judgment or decision reached by reasoning.

  
  

  prem·ise

  ˈpreməs/

  noun

  base an argument or theory. A line of evidence used to support a position.

  "the reforms were premised on our findings"

  Wait, are you saying the Bible says hell fire exists? Or are you saying that hell actually exists?

  Charismatic People

  by Coded Logic in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i was writing about a friend of mine.

  i'm a little curious if anyone else knows people like this too.. if personal inquiries were bullets then you’re charisma would be the stuff of ceramic plates and kevlar vests.

  i say that because most of these charismatic people i know use their charm to relate to other people.

  I was writing about a friend of mine. I'm a little curious if anyone else knows people like this too.

  If personal inquiries were bullets then you’re charisma would be the stuff of ceramic plates and kevlar vests. Because you don’t just use your charm to get to know other people. You also use your charm to make sure other people don’t get to know you. The real you.

  
  
  It’s fair to say I know a lot of charismatic people. But you, my friend, take it to a whole new level. I say that because most of these charismatic people I know use their charm to relate to other people. Most of them use this magic - this sorcery - to captivate and communicate with complete strangers in a way that I never could. Some of them can enter the most random and impromptu of situations and, within seconds, have me believing it’s what they intended all along. Looking from the outside, it’s like a unique language they instantly tailor to the people around them - and it’s a process that’s so natural to them I sometimes think every single stranger they encounter must surely be a lifelong friend.

  
  
  But as impressive as all that is, you, my friend, are on a whole new level. Sure, you use your charisma to do these things. But there's also something else that you’re doing as well. You’re using your charisma as a defense. You use it to disarm and ease the people around you while simultaneously wielding it as a shield. Personal questions are deflected. Intimate beliefs are protected. And intentions are always shielded well out of view.

  
  
  You make friends everywhere you go. And yet you have few friends you can relate to.

  The Problems of Child Abuse

  by Coded Logic in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i think it's absolutely disgusting how the organisation has treated childhood victims of pedophilia and rape.

  i think their "standards" of requiring two witnesses for belief is absurd.

  i think how they try and quietly brush things under the rug in the back rooms of kingdom halls is completely despicable.

  The issues of Child Abuse are very wide spread and real. However, I think there's a huge difference between an organisation which happens to have a child abuser in it vs. an organisation that allows known child abusers to have positions of authority.

  Congress is staffed with hundreds of young aids and teenage interns. Many of whom are going to have to be around Roy Moore. What's going to happen when one of them says, "Hey, Roy has been making inappropriate comments to me." or "He touched me inappropriately."

  Are Ryan and McConnel going to say, "Well Alabamians chose him so tough luck there. We all knew what we were getting."

  I stand corrected. I should have said, "He dated and sexually assaulted 15 year old girls."
