Sometimes I am very puzzled ...!!!
by fulltimestudent inrecently the extremely smart (so he tells us) but comparatively inexperienced person, elected by the very smart people who live in the usa, to be their president, announced that he was limiting ties with qatar (a small arab state in the middle east) on the grounds that they were supporting terrorism.. and yet, the very next day, he authorises the sale of twelve billion us dollars worth of modern american fighters (f15s) to that small state, in which is located ... .
" ... the biggest us military base in the middle east, al udeid.
ten thousand american personnel are there, many of them prosecuting the air war against isis in syria and iraq.

"Aside from the fact that China can hardly be called 'communist,' (except in the name of the governing Party)"
sigh.... im sure english isnt your first language but do you inderstand what you wrote...? China isnt communist execpt for that fact that they call themselves communist.... i just cant do this with you. If you want to worship chairman mao you go right ahead but you wont convince the rest of the world that the Chinese communists are anything but Chinese communists.
The world still remembers Tiananmen square

Ok so rebel here is the deal... as former witnesses we are used to dramas portraying some bible based event with embellishments and extra nonbiblical dialog... this new nonsense was all modern day and soap opera in the extreme. The whol 'remember the wife of lot' theme was tied in with the family being materialistic, but no actual historical settings were used, all modern day. And corny and sappy and stupid.

I appreciate everyones comments and im glad its not just me seeing this.... someone asked about baptism numbers- didnt count because i wasnt there, im afraid i cant give that report. From what i heard it was small and sounded like all kids of witnesses, but to reiterate, i didnt see it or count for myself.
for those that havnt yet seen the drama yet... watch the wife of lot part 3. It will blow your mind.

The session starts now with music videos. Music. Videos. Playing christain pop! I swear this was neil diamond esq christain pop!
There were attendants with bullhorns in the lobbys telling people to sitdown! Honest to god bullhorns.
The drama was now in video form... ok fair enough. But it was a soap opera! A strait up daytime soap opera, complete with a trailer that said "previously on remember the wife of lot" and credits! The drama itself was so stupid and insulting i cant even begin to explain. Daytime tv would have proudlyembraced this level of craptastic emotionally manipulative garbage.
The songs before and after were more christain pip, complete with built in clap lines! Nobody actually clapped, but the track sounded as if it was included! Nobody had a song book. The words scrolled on the screen for people to folkow along too... it was f***ing 1984!
Im just two short years that religion has done a 180 and embraced everything it was against. I was shocked and appalled on some levels to see the low brow classless crap they have embraced. How can anyone who was in the org more than 5 min accept this....?

the circuit overseer simply appointed all the servants.

"What you described is how it is most of the time with appointments. Our unanimous reccomendations were talked down by the CO all the time and yes the "kiss asses" usually said something like "... you know now that I reason on it, it is too soon" or some B.S. like that. Holy spirit plays no role in appointments of MS's and elders."
That is precisely how it worked in every hall i 'served' at. No matter how hard you argued with the jack wagon CO he always vetoed and got weak willed "elders" to cave.
&fedup- sometimes they just think of hanks ass and blow it a kiss ;)
