Yep. I refuse to watch awards shows as they make me hate artists whos music i like. I refuse to watch movies with pointless sjw storylines shoehorned in.... movies that portray a life and how their world views shaped their choices are an exception to me. Malcom x, ali etc etc.. these are TRUE stories and i find them entertaining as well as informative but the forced naratives i decline to watch. Hollywood wont notice and im ok with that.

Snuggle, i had an uncomfortable experience but in the reverse, that haunts me to this day.
First, no one need cry tears for me, i was an elder by choice and have no one to point fingers at.
That said, when i was just begining to realize the truth about the truth, a young woman cheated on her husband. They were married far too young and things had no gone especially well for them. She confessed and a jc was formed. I was asked to be on it. We invited him, of course.
Things were uncomfortable, to say the least, from the start. Then one of the men on the jc asked a fairly innoncent question as to where the event had occured, meaning the physical location (i.e. house, car, the woods etc etc). Before anyone, including her husband, could react the young wife began to launch into graphic detail as to “how” the infidelity had occured. Her husband tried to stop her. We tried to stop her. She kept going, apparently having worried that she was going be forced to reveal every graphic detail and wanted to get it over with.
It took almost 30 seconds to get her to stop but the damage was done. The husband was devastated. Apparently he had not inquired as to specifics and heard them for the first time. I front of three other men.
When we got her to stop she was in tears and he was visibly hurt. The three of us on the jc were shaken as we had all agreeded in advance to stay away from any specifics as they simply weren't necessary or appropriate. We all felt dirty and not just a little slimy for having been a part of that.
The young couple never recovered, in no small part because the husband could never look at his wife the same way after the details of her liaison were blurted out in front of other people (men he looked up to, rightly or wrongly).
I still feel slimy. Im no prude. I have a very active sexual life and feel free to talk about sex with anyone who wants to.. i have plenty of sexual proclivities that some would think extreme and i couldnt give a damn. Im totally comfortable with sex as a topic... when its a consensual conversation and all parties are willing. This wasnt willing. She felt forced to share ugly details of an affair and her husband was shamed as other men listened (again, not our intent and we literally MADE her stop).
I never sat on an adultry situation again. It was a wake up call as to just how invasive the jc was and caused a lot of internal termoil for me about the morality of jc’s.
Honestly, sharing this is more confessional for me than any idea that it might help someone else. Im really ashamed to have been a part of that, as unintentional as hearing those things may have been. The jc is no more than a shamming device to keep people in line for the cult. Nobody should ever stand in front of one.

No one seems to know what an “assualt” rifle is. I take it mean a rifle used in an assualt, which this clearly was. This off duty officer lost his life after a woman who was a victim of domestic abuse ran to him for help.
Of course the choice of firearm dosent matter, really, he was legally not able to posses a firearm because of the protective order. This case wont bother fink because it wasn't his boggy man ar-15, but it was a failure of the law just the same.

Sir 82 (as usual) is correct. Here is the page from the elders text book:
He would be invited, the only exception being if the elders feared he would be violent. They rather he beat her at home in private.

Its the same with benson. I hated hearing he was comming, it sickened me a little to see the hypocrisy.... then came the day Larry brought prince, excuse me, brother howard, to the hall. I have never seen so many slobbering idiots in my life. And i like prince’s music. They are just as star struck as anyone else. They are only human.

The Korean Situation
by fulltimestudent inagainst a background of continued usa leaks threatening a 'surgical strike' on the dprk (north korea), a move that does not have complete support in the south, the north invoked 'charm' as it's next 'weapon.
here's how the republic of korea's (south korea), government owned news agency (arirang news) saw the north's charm offensive:.

You misrepresent me, as communists tend to do to when they want to make a false point. I dont hate china at all. I find much of chinas martial history to be fascinating, as i do japans.
I dislike communism. I dislike mao and the hell he wrought on his country. I dislike people lying and covering up the evil that is communism with bullshit propaganda, much like your post from a few years ago showing the “happy” people in north korea at a resport. I suspect they were the remaining members of the family that hadn't starved to death or been feed to the un family dogs or been shot trying to escape the communist hell hole.
You can cry about the korean war all you want but the last 60 years has proven which side was better off. Ask the free south if they want to trade places. Easy answer for everyone, even you, sitting in Australia far away and safe from the effects of the horrific governments you kiss up to here on the board. Your hypocrisy speaks volumes.
That picture shows simple truth: 60 years of freedom and domocracy lighting up the night in a free coumtry, 60 years of god awful communist dictatorships casting their dark shadow on an oppressed people. Your bullshit propoganda will never change the facts.
