  as much as i enjoy you and pete's company, you also know our understanding of how much we want you to be reunited with jehovah and his people.. .

  we did not set the standards for what jehovah says about our associations with those who choose to not serve him.

  so we will always be there for you and pete, but it is in your hands as to how we can enjoy your friendship.. .

  Just recalling some dialogue with my own JW parents some years ago.

  Them: "You chose to leave Jehovah's witnesses!"

  Me: "I didn't choose to be raised as one!"

  What Do You Think About Organized Sit Ins That Are Disruptive?

  by minimus in

  marches, sit ins, traffic blocking is the new normal for people to demonstrate.

  they block highways, state buildings and roadways.

  they may even get arrested but invariably get turned loose by the courts.. i think it’s disgraceful to demonstrate this way.

  Apparently, if you feel really, really strongly about something, then it's perfectly acceptable for you to behave like a total moron and fuck up people's lives just to get your point across.

  we brits are being bombarded with facts and speculation about the horrific consequences of either corbin or johnson getting into power .

  another thread has discussed the anti-semitic leanings ( or not ) of corbin .

  what do people think about the left's claims that boris would sell off the nhs ,only this morning l saw a post on fb saying that " america is demanding full access to nhs records " it has been pointed out by a political reporter on the bbc that the talks that the papers were leaked about happened before johnson became pm and these were just things that have been put on the negotiating table by the usa .

  Boris is duplicitous but Corbyn is an enemy of everything I hold dear.

  Corbyn's default position is that the UK are always the bad guys. Always. He doesn't like his own country much. He doesn't realise that the working-class folk that he wants to appeal to are mainly patriots. So he's going to lose their votes too. Basically he appeals to armchair liberals who are anxious to be seen as desperately worried about poverty while sitting around their Noguchi coffee tables convinced that somehow they have the moral high ground all to themselves.

  Ignore the will of the British people by blocking the result of the referendum and Boris is what you get.

  What REALLY defines a person as being anti-Semitic?

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. social
  2. current

  does criticism or opposition to the israeli government's zionist agenda legitimately constitute someone being branded as an anti-semite?.

  is it this definition which is actually being targetted at certain members of the labour party?

  According to the Sunday Times, the problem with anti-semitism in the Labour party only reached it's present levels when Labour threw open the doors to membership of the party to anyone who could afford the £3 fee. It's rumoured that many of those new members were in fact muslims, so I guess that could explain a lot.

  My parents did the whole DF routine, as per the edict from Brooklyn. Then, when things relaxed in the late 70's and the society rescinded their hard stance, they became much more accepting. However, when the rescinding was rescinded they didn't renew the hard stance and our relationship stayed more tolerable, albeit some alcohol-fuelled disagreements occasionally surfacing much to the astonishment of my non-JW partner.

  My ex-wife came from a quarrelsome Eastender type of JW family and was forever being bounced one way and then the other by her own parents and siblings.Our children from that marriage were greatly distressed by the hot-then-cold attitude of their blood relatives, so much so that when my ex died they refused to allow any of my ex's 4 siblings to attend the funeral. So in a way the disfellowshippers became the disfellowshippees. Which I guess is karma setting things straight.
