would you stop buying nike products because you didn’t like their politics?
conversely, would you give business to a company because you liked their political stand on a matter?
would you stop watching an entertainer because you disagree with their political perspectives?
Yes. I stopped buying Gillette products. It's this ad - or one similar - that repels me. They may as well have just stated that men are dreadful people and have to change. BTW, I understand that Gillette's sales have slumped as a result of the ad.

after posting on another thread it became apparent to me that it can be difficult for some ex jws to totally shake off all wt teaching , even after leaving the org.
do you still feel guilty going into a church for a wedding or a funeral .
can you bring yourself to celebrate birthdays or christmas .
Nope. Nothing left over at all. A few years back I had a massive rectal bleed which required me having 6 units of blood. I didn't give it a second thought. And here I am feeling on top of the world.
just was thinking how some powerful quotes, remarks, sayings hit the mark with me and how much it enriched/ enhamced/influences my life.
love beyond color.
reality is that which when you no longer believe in it , does not go away.. “the truth is a battle of perceptions.
Life is what you make it.
what if we could exchange one president from another country to yours?...
say trump for trudeau, trudeau for trump, trump in exchange for your respective european country, etc -- for a few years?
would you consider it a win or a loss for your country?.
I'd rather have Trump than Corbyn! Let's just hope Boris does a good job. It's time we had a leader rather than an appeaser-manager.
........so far to date.

No-one done a video of Wonderful wonderful pioneering yet? (I kid you not, I saw it performed live at an assembly once)
I'm sure Danny Kaye would have loved it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1YMv_qx5Cw&t=5s
domestic violence in the “tooth”... is this a thing?!.
you are starting to know me by now as i’m always full of questions... my clogs are always in motion and never stop... so another question for you to give me some guidance if you can.
based on pasts experience or cases you might heard of or seen, what advice could you give me in helping someone that is a jehovah witness, married with another jw but lives a marriage that is plagued by emotional domestic abuse and financial control?
My JW ex-wife turned out to be astonishingly violent. However, on one of those occasions when I was spotted with yet another black eye I received a visit from the elders who really helped by telling me that I needed to keep my wife in subjection. Thanks fellas, way to go.
dear friends.
i didn't post for a while, but i still enjoy the great jwn community.. just wanted to share a "gem" from the november 2019 study watchtower.. paragraph 8 from the article "are you maintaining your large shield of faith?".
satan, “the father of the lie,” uses those under his control to spread lies about jehovah and about our brothers and sisters.
For instance, apostates publish lies and distort facts about Jehovah’s organization on websites and through television and other media.
Let's take a moment to talk about Jehovah's organization by turning to the Scriptures and seeing what the Bible has to say about Jehovah's organization.
This could take a while...
i’ve always heard this line used by many witnesses.
but when i asked what organization was he using previously i can never get a response until recently.
i was told about a group called “the way”.
Can't find the word 'organisation' in the Scriptures...or even 'organization'..
when any mass shooting happens is it the president’s fault?
i’m talking over the last few decades..
So weird...here to even get a shotgun licence you have to be squeaky clean and have no criminal offences against your name whatsoever. Then your doctor has to confirm that you're not even a teeny weeny bit crazy. Once that's all established you get a visit from the police to view the lockable steel cabinet in which you propose to keep the weapon.
seriously, it’s getting to a point that you can’t make a negative comment about someone without being charged as a racist, homophobe or sexist!
if you criticize a female, you are obviously sexist.
if you criticize someone who happens to be gay, you must hate homosexuals.
A bit of good old English prejudice..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vh-wEXvdW8&t=34s
