Updated Recommended Reading List
by doubtfull1799 innot long after i joined here i posted a reading list of books that helped me wake up, but since then i've read so many more that i've found invaluable in furthering and refining my new worldview, plus giving me a more in-depth well read perspective on theological and scientific issues.
so i thought i'd post an updated comprehensive list for other voracious readers like me who are always looking for good books to read.

Witness Royalty and the last day at the "Towers"
by Lynnie inmy uber elder cousin and his wife got the "privilege" of having one last "toast" of wine at the rooftop garden at the towers in nyc since the jw's are vacating to warwick.
his oldest daughter and son in law are quite high up in the inner circle so they get invited to all the "inner circle" activities.
even though they aren't supposed to toast to anything it was pretty darn close.

Pretty much everyone gleaned after meals so they had something to snack on later.
What meals? No one gleaned from lunch meal except for cold cuts day or pizza, except for a couple of married couples. We ate all the good stuff.
Barbara and CoCo were as higher up as you can get in job assignments and they did not ride in limousines.

I hate this cult more and more.
Then base your hate on information that is accurate and that truly represents the facts.
The only person I know that had a big car and it wasn't black or a towns car was NHK and he did not even want it, he wanted to take public transportation like everybody else but forced him to have it because we did not want the President of the wt to be walking around taking public transportation and it was a gift. The only enjoyment he got from the car was that it was a gift and that it gave the bros joy to see him in it. No royalty at bb except after being there 20 or more years you got seniority.

Fisherman: It is really easy. My position is that in a democracy the people should determine what is legal
Let's consider in theory that Spain is a democracy, then the people of Spain should determine what is legal in Spain. Based on your premise then, since the people of Catalonia are only part of all the people of Spain, their vote for independence is not enough to change the law. Also, if Spain is not a democracy, then your premise is meaningless.
(A unitary state ( Spain) is a state governed as a single power in which the central government (Spain) is ultimately supreme and any administrative divisions (Catalonia) (sub-national units) exercise only the powers that the central government chooses to delegate.)

I don't really think it is worth debating this anymore.
Up to you.

What someone has written on a piece of paper SHOULD be secondary to the will of the People,
As written, your statement is meaningless. You need to explain exactly what you mean.

Fact: the UK was part of the EU; ppl said the UK could not leave for 117 different reason, then they did.
I have already answered your argument in my previous posts. UK is a partner in the EU but Catalonia is not partners with Spain, it is part of Spain. UK did not want to be a partner so how can you force someone to be your partner? Cat and Spain have a different relationship. Spain has the power to deny Cat independence same as they have with the Basques or they can give Cat independence. Wholly up to Spain.
