Uhm.... simon has long allowed political discussion, dare i say argument, along with discussion of a variety of other issues that dont strickly pertain to the cult. You will find movie and book discussions, technology, family life, dating, cars, music dozens of other topics i cant pull off the top of head. Sooo.... yea. Politics gets discussed.

Three Simple Reasons Why an Assault-Weapons Ban Is Bad Policy
by freemindfade ini keep saying this is a bad place/policy to put all the time, energy and resources if you really do in fact care, or if you are just riding the agenda bandwagon: .
an assault-weapons ban is irrelevant to suicide deaths.
the large majority of gun deaths are suicides, and there is no credible argument that an assault-weapons ban will have the slightest effect on suicide.

I Feel a Deep Sense of Justice
by sneekyapostate ini, like all other victims of embarrassing scandals in the watchtower, experienced a huge sense of injustice with the organisation.
however, now with the recent arc pressure, charity commission and other authorities and media around the world, and even events in russia and financial struggles, it seems to me that the persecutor is now the one being persecuted and made to suffer.
this is giving me a huge sense of relief and feelings of satisfaction that justice is taking place.

I can inderstand the desire to justice served and the understand the tendency to view the org as a monolithic body.
The truth is none of the event you mentioned effects the real villians, the gb, the asshats in legal or the service deaprtment. Those are the people who have inflicted harm on the cult members and they are ones to whom justice is really due. The people suffering in russia particularly are poor soviet left overs, people recruited under communism and their descendants, just average joes, so to speak, who got caught up in the same cult we did.
Thats not justice for the org. Thats otherwise (probably) decent little local cult members being abused and suffering.
As for “arc pressure”.... dont be fooled. It hasnt prompted one iota of change or pressure. If you think the gb are laying in their comfortable beds in warwick loosing one wink of sleep over a toothless report issued by a commission in australia, you are sadly mistaken.

If you're expecting a mass exodus anytime soon, FORGET ABOUT IT!
by nowwhat? ini have to make a token appearance at the k.h.

Again, dont be fooled by slims amswer today, crow (i feel like a broken record).
Slim has said in the past that they have already collapsed. Also sometimes he means members, somtimes he means money. It depends on sun spot actvity and wind direction.

They relied on book sales in the past. Now they are living off sales of their property assets. What when that dries up?
Lies lies and lies, oh slim one. They are living off donations as they have done for the last 20 years.

The inevitable slow decline i can certainly get behind. Thats hell and gone different from “they have already collapsed” (slim has said that on more than one occasion).
Slim, again your lying to yourself and your audience. The main source of income wasnt books. Its jw’s. Jw’s bought books to keep up with jw theology. Hw’s still are the source of wt income. They are simplt finding new ways to fleece their flock. The books were just a tangible trading item to make jw’s feel better about the fleecing.
