The comparison to Jonestown uninformed and demeaning. When in the USA, the peoples temple started off semi-jw’ish, but quickly went far cultier. There is a documentary coming on next week in the usa called “jonestown: terror in the jungle”. Watch that as reference point

How many Witnesses would drink the cool aid at a "Jonestown?"
by Witness 007 inso my mum died from mild form of lukemia which can simply be treated with a blood transfusion each month.
to me this was a watchtower assisted suicide.
the liaison elder encouraged her to "stay strong" and said a prayer.

Door-to-door preaching as surveillance
by john.prestor ini wanted to share some thoughts about jehovah's witnesses and their door-to-door preaching.
door-to-door preaching is supposedly about gathering converts, but in fact, as we frequently discuss, doesn't actually bring that many "sheep-like ones" in.
i want to suggest that a second meaning (what we call the latent meaning in academia) is facilitating surveillance of the congregants who attend some congregation.

How easily some forget the orgs history. It started out as having a free sales force. Any other benefits are ancillary and coincidental. It evolved over time into something of a loyalty test as well. Suggestions of “surveillance” are at best paranoid and poorly thought out.

This is gonna make me as popular as a ginger stepchild but I don't think US citizens should have the right to bear arms in public.
I have no idea why you mention this as it was not factor in the shooting being discussed. California has some of the most strict gun laws in the country. Open carry is not legal and was not a factor.

Morph, did you know that some people want to get rid of the Constitution? Tough to believe, right??
Hard to believe? I was replying to one. He called the constitution an “old document” and tried to call people who respect it and support it “worshippers”. Yea i believe those morons abound and will themselves “worship the old document” when it suits them.

worshipers of old documents (written by people to fit their times and places) will do nothing and continue worshiping the Constitution and especially the second amendment
tell you what... you give up the first and we can then talk about the second. Im sure your good with that since they were both written “by people to fit their times and places”

Asylum Caravan
by dubstepped inalright, so what is the deal with the thousands coming to the states right at election time seeking asylum?
i'm not up on this, usually try not to be, but how can this not be manipulative?
it's either manipulative in the size of the group and pressure that creates, or in where it started or who started this, etc.
