My JW roommate and I were just discussing some sweepstakes the other day that offered a prize vacation to anywhere in the US the winner wants to go, and she said if she could go anywhere, it would be to Warwick so she could visit Bethel.
Why do these people always equate a trip to Bethel to a pilgrimage to the Holy Land? I mean, I get that that's pretty much how they see it, but how do they NOT see that it is a blatant example of idolatry? -_-

Did you enjoy your visit to Bethel?
by Addison0998 ini recently had to take a trip with my family to bethel.
it was a bit torturous for a secret apostate as you can imagine.
but mostly just so boring.

They don't even show what kind of video game it is. Apparently we're supposed to believe all video games are violent and evil.

How many here think Trump's news conference this evening was absolutely brilliant
by ShirleyW ini'm being serious, i would like to hear from folks here that support him describe to me how that news conference was absolute brilliance, he answered all the questions, he knows what he is talking about.
just want to compare note with those who aren't his supporters (and have common sense) as you know this forum is here to hear both sides, so, have at it .

I literally cannot even begin to understand why anyone who is not an absolute ignorant bigot could possibly support him. Why do you people willingly turn a blind eye to all of his childish Twitter rants and victim blaming and racist/sexist remarks and detrimental executive orders if you're not as full of hate as he is?
Name ONE thing he has actually done (not promised to do but has DONE) that outweighs all of the horrible, despicable, embarrassingly immature things he has said since the campaign trail. You can't, because there is NOTHING that excuses such a blatantly awful human being. Why can't you tRump supporters just admit you're on the wrong side of history and bow out with a modicum of grace?
Seriously, if he's so damn great, then by your own standards, you should have liked every single other president, even Obama. After all, you're so willing to forgive tons of awful things in favor of what? tRump saying or doing ONE little thing that you agree with? Then why do you bash Obama, or the Bushes, or Clinton? Each of them has done at least one good thing, and they all have the added bonus of NOT being nearly as deplorable as tRump.Just admit he's awful already!

Searril That didn't answer my question at all. In fact, none of what you said made any sense. It's as though you were answering someone else's question entirely.
And why on earth would anyone downvote my question? That is so rude and counterproductive. I just wanted a simple answer. I don't understand why some people here are so mean-spirited. I have never once downvoted anyone on this site, with the sole exception of that one jerk who verbally assaulted everyone who tried to reason with him before he was banned last year. -

Why did 3 people downvote Doubter? His comment was not controversial at all and he backed it up with solid proof that the UN's library is not, in fact, open to the public. What the heck is your problem, people?

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
by pleaseresearch inwhat 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 inin 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.
by scruffmcbuff ini 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 inscarlett 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.
