Firstly, the former Yugoslavia was definitely russian. That yugoslavia (after being freeded from the communist boot) broke up into serbia is culturally irrelevant. I assume anyone smart enough to comment would have known that.. however im not supprised someone didnt. Many still carry water for the commies and are undergoing cultural change but old sympathies apparently die hard for some.
Secondly i clearly was referencing AMERICAN 1980’s tabloid “journalism”, and derisively so. It was sensationalistic garbage written with ridiculous headlines to grab attention and get people to buy it to be entertained while standing in line at the grocery store. That article is a cut and paste from the national enquirer play book and thus i made my comparision. How you ever got the idea that i was somehow drawing a comparison to some form of Russian tabloid (that likely didnt exist in 1980’s russia) is suspect at best, but hopefully i have now corrected your unfounded and confusingly moronic assumption.
Thirdly, dispite your confusion on the history of europe and its governance, we apparently agree that the reporting is poor, the article is sensationalistic and unbalanced. We also agree that the cult is responsible and that parents arnt “evil” per say.
So aside from your lack of knowledge regarding the communists/totaltarian governmental history of yugoslavia (it was considered a model communist orthodoxy), im not exactly sure where we disagree or why why you fet it necessary to expose your ignorance in “firstly secondly” manner, but hopefully ive provided some clarification on european governance and american tabloid trash rags that the communist rag cited in the OP was clearly patterned after.
Good day to you, sir.

Really? This is 1980’s tabloid journalism at its worst.
jw parents dont want their kids to die. They arnt “from hell”. If they took the baby to the hospital in the first place they wanted treatment and care.
What they are is deluded by a cult into refusing a valid and accepted form of medical treatment, blood transfusions. That may indeed cost their baby his/her life and its tragic and heartbreaking.
What is from hell is the russian media playing patsy for the commies and taking this opportunity to push forward the stalinist agenda of ridding the state of anything that interferes with worship of said state.
I dislike the jw cult deeply. I hate the commie cult more. Its blood guilt far exceeds the jw’s having killed tens of millions more than the jw’s could ever dream. They keep in slavery and oppression their citizens on far greater scale than the jw cult could ever accomplish.

If mathematics teacher made a mistake, would it mean mathematics itself is wrong!
by venus inmany people point to the irrationality in the depiction of god by the religions and their scriptures, hence jump into the bottomless pit of atheism.
in either camp, god is not a factor because religion is only a means that misrepresents god, hence religionists themselves are atheists (literally, those who live without god).
it is like saying there exists no earth because you found out your friend who taught earth is flat is wrong; or it is like saying mathematics itself is wrong because you found out your mathematics teacher made a mistake.

OC, how can that be?? You said 150 generations = 3000 years. Thats only 20 years per generation!!!!
Obviously ridiculous. Generations are at LEAST 80 or 90 years and they often overlap. You need to revisit your calculations

I have never read that. Be prepared for a big deal about this. Be prepared for everything in your life to revolve around his cult and their views. Your marriage will always be a menage a trois with his cult as the third party. Im sorry to be so blunt but prepare yourself.

Best Bethel stories
by optimisticskeptic ini temped at bethel 3 times for varying lengths of time and found working there to not always be the rosy picture some would paint.
not a surprise really, but i think one of the things that surprised me the most was how a lot of the permanent bethelites (especially older ones) were so impersonal to temps.
they acted like you weren't worth investing their time in since you weren't permanent.

You had to know gary cash to get how funny this really was....
but gary cash managed to get his hands on a whole pan of peach cobbler. A wholllle pan.
So he takes this pan of peach cobbler first thing in the morning and sets it on the flat work iron. The flatwork iron was used for napkins and bed sheets etc etc and had a roller that pulled the flat items in and used rollers to press them. It has a huge cabinet that was warm and he set the pan on top to warm it up.
the pan somehow ended up falling IN the iron. The whole laundry was filled with the aroma of peach cobbler... so greg scharf (floor overseer) investigates and finds the flat work iron destroyed with cobbler in it and ends up identifying gary cash as the culprit... all we could hear was gary saying “chuck i dont know what happened!! It just fell right in!” 😂😂😂😂😂
you had to know gary and what a screw up he was but it was hilarious
