  I learned everything that I needed to know about islam on that day.
  
  I learned everything I need to know about you just from that one statement.
  
  
  BTW I have Muslim friends and they are literally the kindest, most compassionate and OPEN-MINDED people I know. So no, you didn't learn a damn thing about them, except how to hate.

  Alex Jones, Infowars Ban on Youtube, FB and other platforms

  what are you thoughts on this?.

  i find this alarming because jones was very outspoken and had great guests on discussing topics most other media outlets wouldn't go near.. the fact that many have restricted him access to their medium what does this say on our freedoms of speech?.

  The first amendment guarantees that the government will not inhibit free speech. It does not guarantee whether or not anyone else will. If whoever runs YouTube chooses to ban something, they have every right to do so because it is their platform, not the government's.

  How were God’s true worshipers to determine virginity of pagan girls?

  by Ireneus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in the genocidal instructions supposedly given by god we find this interesting command: “now kill all the boys.

  and kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.” (numbers 31:17, 18).

  in the midst of killing and plundering, how were the israelites to determine whether each girl “has slept with a man” or not?.

  Why did two people dislike TheFadingAlbatros's comment? He wasn't condoning what the Bible said. In fact, he specifically started his post with "Here is the answer of so-called Christians," which proves that he disagreed with the Bible on this subject.

  Go Bags, Safe houses and cartoon of two kids.

  i have been out a good 10+ years and until recently didnt pay much attention to what the jehovahs are up to.. why have they taken this turn with the bunker videos and making all the brainwashed people like my parents pack a go bag.

  now let me just clarify.

  im a military man i believe everyone should have an element of preparedness canned goods,bottled water and a bug out bag is a great addition ( ill stop waffling on about that now).. but what concerns me is the fact they are advising elderly people to bug out.

  Why can't Scarlett Johansson play a transgender character?!

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  2. entertainment

  scarlett johansson was cast to play a transgender role in some film or another.. recently she pulled out.

  i don't know whether she jumped or was pushed but trans activists, despite claiming to represent only 0.3% of the population, have quite a powerful voice.. do they want a trans actor to play the trans role, is that it?.

  if scarlett johansson shouldn't play a trans role, does that mean a trans actor shouldn't play a cis role?.

  Bad_Wolf You just further proved my point. Why waste all that money on an A-list actor? If people are only paying to see a film because it features George Clooney or whoever, then that's their problem for being so shallow that they value a big name over a compelling story.
  
  The only actors that are really worth paying to see specifically are comedians. Anyone can make you smile or frown or cry as long as the plot calls for them to do so, but very few can truly make a person laugh. Why do you think comedians receive so much more criticism than any other actors? Controversial material aside. It always comes down to whether or not they are seen as funny.

  Didn't you already post this?
  
  What I believe it boils down to is this: non-minority actors are discouraged from playing minority roles, period. Although there isn't nearly enough public outcry where it actually matters, such as when an able-bodied person portrays a disabled person. There really is no excuse to not hire an actual disabled person. Just because a studio wants a particular actor for the role doesn't excuse them for casting said actor. For example, why is it so important for, say, George Clooney to play a paraplegic? And why is it more important than letting an actual paraplegic play the part?

  Anyone own any movie props or replicas?

  so, i was recently watching a youtube vid.. a star wars fan had bought a replica lightsaber, screen accurate down to the last detail, made from the same materials as the real thing.

  (it obviously didn't have a blade!).

  but it looked real in every other way, right size, etc.. the guy bought it second hand from e-bay for $150.

  I have a replica of one of the swords from the Lord of the Rings films. Frodo's sword Sting, to be exact. I bought it for $50 from a swap meet over a decade ago while "official" replicas that came with a certificate of authenticity were being sold for over $200 at the local mall at the same time.
  
  The funny thing about it was the difference between my Sting and the "official" Sting. The silver vines wrapped around the hilt of mine are painted on, while the "official" Sting had bas-relief vines. While the latter looked a lot nicer, one has only to watch the movies to see that they used a sword with painted-on vines, which technically makes my "UNofficial" replica more authentic.

  i was thinking about how the borg screws up and sexually neuters their flock by telling them when single to "deaden their body" and then boom as soon as there's a ring on the finger to not be denying eachother.. do any of you know of jws who have been screwed up by these teachings?

  i know 2, 1 elder came back from honeymoon having a nervous breakdown unable to cope with the cd that sex produced in his head.

  and the other called up her parents while on honeymoon, crying and begging for themto come and get her, since she was so shocked that sex hurt.

  …Is Jehovah Actively Exposing The Wicked Watchtower Society In The Child Abuse Cases? (Ezekiel 36:12)

  by MADMARY in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  ezekiel 36:3-15 tells us about a “bad report” that would go out among the nations about apostate israel.

  verse 12 of this chapter shows us that jehovah takes a direct hand in this affair in fighting against his own people.

  so we can ask, are we today seeing god’s active hand against the watchtower society in exposing the child abuse cases among jehovah’s witnesses around the world?

  I don't see how those verses have anything to do with God attacking the WTS.
