Yea like i said its possible. You could df someone for eating a ham sandwhich if you really wanted.... but theres more to it than witness A got a speeding ticket and then was df’d. Theres a lot more to it.

You can be df’d for eating a ham sandwhich if 3 elders agree on it. That said, i never heard if anyone being df’d for anything that would come as a supprise, never served on a committee that was “unusual” by jw standards. Almost always sex, once or twice drug use. Very hard to see 3 elders df’ing someone over a speeding ticket... but if they already had a grudge against that person i suppose its possible... maybe

How Do You Feel About Trump's Tuff Talk To Korea To Make Korea Behave?
by Brokeback Watchtower ini know or think i know that trump is bluffing and acting very bully like with threats of unleashing his power as commander and chief a military with super weapons.
but why bluff with such boyish stupidity?
i think mr trumps barginings skills are at an all time low and so the threats of violence and retaliation for misbehaving according to the whims of a narcissist.. my confidence in him is at an all time low, talk about cave man club you over the head approach to problems this guy takes the cake.

Of course im correct. I dont mean to sound arrogant but acknowledging that is hardely a concession or some magnamious gesture on your part, its a simply logic and understanding of the law.
Not to derail the thread but i would ask you to back up your assertion that are crimes that fall under the statue for impeachment.
I find myself wondering this morning what brokeback will say about north korea backing down?

The average Witness will continue to follow Watchtower leadership whether right or wrong.
by UnshackleTheChains ini hate to say this, but given my own experience as a jw for almost 3 decades, i am beginning to believe the average jw will continue to look to and be guided by the gb regardless of whether they are right or wrong.. despite all the scandals and negative media attention the watchtower organisation is receiving, life seems to go on as normal in jw land.
it's truly bizarre!!.
clearly, the gbs tactic of mostly hiding away from the media is clearly working for them.

Your “beginning” to think?? What evidence have you seen that this will ever change? Of course they will. The so called scandals that interest us as former or inactive or ‘awake’ jw’s mean nothing to the vast majority. They never did and never will.
Individuals will wake up just as we have and the internet as a whole is massive tool in that but by and large the cult will remain unchanged and unphased. Mormons sda jw’s etc etc... cults “cult”. Thats what they do.

Because it seems you like to read, brokeback, here is an article (one of hundreds easily found on the internet) detailing president Clintons unauthorized strike on sudan, a country the US was not at war with.

You continue to be stunningly wrong, brokeback. I could cite many examples (including billy’s attack ok an aspirin factory) but let me cite one of my favorites:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1986_United_States_bombing_of_Libya
President Reagan did not seek congressional approval for that stike. There are quiet a few other noteworthy cases where presidents have not sought nor aquired congressional approval for limited military actions.
edited to add: i chose the above example because libya had not attacked the US, in clear contradiction to your false premise

Im sure they moved around as circumstances warranted but not in the early 90’s when i was there. The gb primarly lived in towers and were moving over to 90 sands at that time. Towers had some very large rooms converted for the gb and standish was nothing special
