  not playing their game, as i've learned here.

  they came to my door to find me with a full beard and a nightmare before christmas hoody, playing a video game where the characters "do not act according to bible principles", and i happily answered the door.

  i simply smiled and told them no when they asked if i have a minute.

  ' ... Don't act like an overly attached girlfriend...'

  I have never had an overly attached girlfriend. Must be hard to deal with. I didn't even have an overly attached wife. When things got a little rough she showed me the front door. [ That's why I recommend having an escape plan. Sleeping in a Toyota Corolla for a month gives you pain in places other people don't even have places.]

  ' ... I smiled and said no not right now, and they said to just let them know when I need some encouragement. They kinda hung their heads a little..'.

  Maybe you should have said, ' From the way you are hanging your heads you look like the ones that need some encouragement. Give me a call some time. Maybe I can help. Right now I have more important things to do. HAVE A GREAT DAY!'

  'IBM and the Holocaust' by Edwin Black

  Revealed how IBM was complicit in helping the Nazi's kill their victims in a more organized manner. Bravo for IBM, always coming up with solutions to customers problems. I wrote a letter to IBM a few years ago asking if they were prepared to or even would give thought to compensating victims whose suffering they profited from. Never got a reply.

  World War 1 - Canada declares war on Germany, to fight for the freedom of Canadian citizens, because Belgium is attacked. Belgium? Meanwhile Belgium is killing and maiming millions of innocent victims in the Congo, forcing them to rape their own land to fill the vaults of Leopold. Like Black Mamba would say "Belgium had it comin".

  Esse quam videri

  Millions died so that people like Esse quam videri can enjoy the freedom to be an ignorant, ungrateful buffoon.

  
  The instigators, manipulators, the leader warlocks and leader witches that manipulate the sheeples, devastating whole generations of the young. The men slaughtered and maimed, the families traumatized for life. These manipulators never suffer. They don't even slink off to a dark and distant rat hole to hide in shame from the public. They strut around, chests out, proud of what they have done. They love people like cofty. 'You see' they say 'give them a special day, give them a flag to salute and a poppy to wear, they never figure out who really is to blame. We love them, the brainless masses. We get them to kill their brothers and brainwash them so they are angry at the ones who expose the truth. It's great. WE LOVE COFTY !'

  One night I spent 4 hours, from 8 to 12 midnight, sitting in a car with an old English brother. This was in Canada. Anyways, the whole night nothing happened, we just parked the car so we could see the grounds and entrance to the Assembly Hall. Reggie, the Englishman, spent the whole time talking about his high blood pressure and when he was in 'the service', 'When I was in the service, this...' and '...when I was in the service...' that. Hour after hour. At first I thought it didn't make any sense. Then he started talking about his .303 rifle and others in his regiment, and I am thinking, 'What kind of field service do they have in England?' Finally my 18 year old brain figures out, ' He's not talking about 'field service witnessing' , but he's talking about 'in the service' in the English army. After that I would listen to him at the Kingdom Hall talking to whoever, old sisters, brothers, kids, and he would always talk about 'when I was in the service.' Funny, they were always wondering what the h#ll he was talking about.

  Innocent mislead victims of war mongering leaders.

  If being a slaughtered victim means your a hero, okay.

  If slaughtering others means your a hero, okay.

  Okay, today we all make everyone feel better by honouring the heroes. It is the least we can do. Everyone can sleep well knowing they did their least.

  Hillary Clinton Winning total vote count but loses the Election

  by RubaDub in

  do those of you outside the usa find it odd that in a presidential election, the total number of people casting votes means nothing?

  there is a method we use here called the electoral college based on each state rather than the total votes cast by actual people.. this is, i believe the 5th time in america's history that the person with the most votes lost the election (the last was in 2000 when al gore beat george w. bush by about 400,000 votes but lost the election).. so hillary (at the moment i last checked) had overall about 200,000 more votes nationwide but lost.. i'm sure a lot of people in other countries scratch their heads when they see this happening.. rub a dub.

  I think that's shudder, however, maybe you want to shutter the windows when you imagine a governing body in charge in US politics. Actually not a bad idea,

  the privilege of associating with fellow Christians in worship is not open to everyone?

  by NikL in

  2. beliefs

  was going through the book that is currently being studied at midweek meetings.. paragraph 18 of chapter 11 reads.... a second area of moral refinement involves themeasures taken to keep the congregation clean.

  sad-ly, not all who accept jehovah’s standards of conductand dedicate themselves to god loyally stick withtheir decision.

  some eventually have a change ofheart and willfully rebel against those standards.what is to be done about such ones?
