Repository for JW "experiences" with Hurricane Harvey
by sir82 init's only a matter of time of course..... jw rumor mills will start up soon, with stories of how jws were "first on the scene" as the flood waters receded..... how the red cross and/or us national guard and/or doctors without borders and/or [you name it] were marveling at just how "organized" the jws are..... how zealous jws were pulling their trolleys thru ankle-deep water to "offer comfort" to victims, by giving them - sandwiches?
bottled water?
to offer them comfort by giving them 16 page "magazines" to read in their spare time..... so as the stories start to come in, you can "deposit" those little nuggets of bs here.. once collected, we'll wrap them in a pretty bow and flush them away where other instances of pure manure go..

I saw the scam first hand in the aftermath of hurrican andrew in florida... houses fixed for free with free labor and free materials (all donated by fellow wintesses) and congregants pressured to give insurance money to the org

Absolutely... but this is why the war was fought to begin with, to prevent china from having an unimpeded foothold on the region. South korea has flourished, north korea is a hell hole. I fault dwight for giving in and not finishing it and the world community as whole for quiting, although in the wake of WW2 the lack of appetite for armed conflict is understandable. china has been agressive in the south sea, built up their military to huge degrees and fought cyber wars since the internets inception. They have waged and are waging a trade war (that they are winning) with the Us and the west as whole... letting them have the whole the peninsula would have been a disaster, one even greater the current mess.

Not to nit pick simon, because i agree with you largely, but there was an armistice in the korean war (july of 1953). There was no peace treaty, just the armistice that ended the war and established the dmz.

Cofy is of course correct but those deep cultural divisions predated the world wars even.

There sre deep cultural divisions between the Japanese and Chinese that mean china dosent give a damn about kim threatening japan. No help from them on this one. The sticky wicket on this is that the US cares very much about japan and so cant allow kim to continue to threaten them.
Again, good job to dwight and every president since who ignored and in some cases fueled this situation. Good thing we made sure iran wouldnt get a nuke....

Hollywood messed up another one
by hothabanero ini am a big superhero fan and was looking forward to "the defenders".
the first two episodes are great but then ... liberalism happens.
one of the heroes (luke cage, big black guy) goes on this crazy rant, like a liberals wet dream of the bravehearth speech.

Ironically the problem i had with that little rant from luke cage was that it wasnt true. Danny didnt grow a rich white boy. Grew up in kun lun living as a monk, so f*** you luke cage, who btw, was the worst form of life for liberals, a cop.
The series wasnt that good over all. So many flaws in the story i dont know where to begin, but that little diatribe from luke didnt ruin it, as pointless and ill placed as it was.

"The Governing Body is neither inspired nor infallible. Therefore, it can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction." -- Feb 2017 Watchtower
by cognisonance infull stop.
(paragraph 12 -- feburary 2017 watchtower -- who is leading god's people today?
)so why then would any jw abide by harmful doctrines setup by the governing body (blood, shunning, the two-witness rule, etc)?

I agree with your remarks, absolutely! Whats more if they can err on doctrine or in organizational direction.... why follow them to begin with?
