  British BLM activist has been shot in the head - media bias?

  sadly, british blm activist sasha johnson is critically ill in hospital after being shot in the head.. first, i'd like to wish her a recovery if this is possible.. but i also think this could be a good test case of how the british media report this event.. i think it could be good to explore media bias.. so, we have the right-wing daily mail saying that, according to her friend, sasha johnson was shot in the head due to being in the cross-fire of a gang shooting, and that she wasn't the intended target, neither was she targeted because of her politics.. at the other end of the spectrum, the left-wing guardian is saying that she was shot after receiving death threats, according to her political party that she founded.. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9612115/drive-gunmen-shot-black-panther-oxford-sasha-johnson-head-fired-house-party.html.

  Degree of Effectiveness of JW Letter Writing Form of Witnessing

  by Disillusioned JW in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a newspaper article quotes a jw as saying "every (letter) i put in the mailbox, i feel, 'ah, this could reach somebody.

  '" the article also quotes her as saying "we are accomplishing even more now than we were door-to-door because this way everybody in the house gets a chance to pick up that letter and respond to it.

  it just feels good.

    Don't get your knickers in a twist about it. Melanie is right about a calm heart giving life to the body!

    I can’t put my opinions of the JV. Got me banned last time. They for sure won’t come near the house .

    I hope they put a senders address on if they write.

    Had one this week too. Neatly hand written but completely wasted on me. They’re obviously under instruction to get letters out whilst covid is out there.

    Thankfully, in this country we're all allowed religious differences. I'm allowed to be an atheist for example, and others are allowed to follow the religion of their choice. There's plenty of countries in the world where you cannot! So, just like a FB post that you don't like... just scroll past. Same with the JW letter, if you don't like it, don't read it, and recycle the paper.... no big deal.

    interesting its last years Awake magazine. Years ago it was published twice a month. Not been published at all this year. JW.s--the fastest shrinking religion in the world.
