  http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2016/11/21/election-rhetoric-getting-people-uninvited-thanksgiving/94208524/.

  sarah-jane cunningham knew that her facebook posts about the election were rubbing her family the wrong way, but she didn’t realize the posts would get her uninvited from thanksgiving dinner.. the 19-year-old said her mother called a week before thanksgiving and confronted her about the facebook posts regarding president-elect donald trump.. “she asked me if i was going to be disrespectful to my family, and i told her that it could work either way, cunningham said.

  "if the things i am saying are disrespectful to trump supporters, the things they are saying are also disrespectful to me.”.

  Ryan007,
  

  Just so you know, I'm not an apostate Jehovah's Witness.

  I don't agree with the viewpoints of apostate Jehovah's Witness. To me, they're antagonistic.
  

  So what are you and what are you doing here?
  

  From the terror and riots of Black Lives Matter to the Obama administration's policy on intimate facilities in public schools, when Trump got elected, the next morning, I was walking on sunshine.

  You too buddy. You're going to get the best president that rubles can buy.

  I'm just taking a second to say, you people don't bother me anymore.

  We don't bother you anymore? Seems that you bothered enough to make it an issue.

  This is your first thread; we don't know anything about you. Usually some one introduces himself and tells us a bit about his experience with the JWs. So who are you?

  Stillin:
  

  Have fun convincing China that all of the money pumping into their economy has anything to do with melting ice caps. Or any other industrialized nation. China is the new elephant in the room.

  Concerning China and global warming this article that I wrote shows that there is more to it than widely believed:

  When Skeptics are confronted with the need to address human-caused global warming they bring up China’s enormous consumption of oil and coal. Their argument is that it is pointless to do anything since they will pollute the world anyways.

  First, one does not engage in wrongdoing and destructive behavior just because others are.

  Second, - little do Skeptics realize or care to admit - China wants to switch over to wind power and other clean sources of energy. They want to shift away from their dependence on fossil fuel consumption.

  They also want to end the horrid conditions that many of its residents face. Their skies are gray with smoke; their people are wearing dust masks to reduce the amount of toxic air they breathe; their children are starting to get lung cancer.

  China is actively developing its wind industry. It has been exporting windmills and their components globally to places such as Ecuador, Ethiopia, Pakistan, Thailand, Romania and even the United States.

  An article from Reuters, highlighting China’s commitment to wind power states:

  China has been doubling installed wind power capacity every year for the past several years. In 2009, it became the third largest provider world wide behind the United States - behind the United States and Germany - with installed capacity reaching 20GW.

  Reuters - Thursday December 23rd, 2010.

  

  Figure 1: China’s skyrocketing investment in wind power indicating a 4,800% increase from 2005-2012 years. U.S. Energy Information Administration.

  From the United States Department of Commerce:

  Over the past few years, China has overtaken all other countries for installed capacity of solar, wind, and hydro power. China’s unprecedented investment continues to be driven – despite slowing growth in electricity demand – by the policy consensus in support of clean energy within the Chinese government, which has only grown stronger in the wake of the Paris climate agreement.

  An article from CNN:

  NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Five miles off the coast of Shanghai, the Chinese recently completed the country's first offshore wind farm.

  The project was completed before construction on the first American offshore wind farm has even begun.

  The Shanghai project is not just another wind farm. It's the next generation in wind power technology and the latest example of how China is jumping ahead of the United States.

  The other Mike Pence described himself to NYMag as a “liberal, atheist, ex-Jehovah's Witness computer programmer,” and “not a bigoted shill

  while mike pence the vice president-elect is a hardcore conservative christian with a history of anti-lgbt-related controversies, mike pence the software developer appears to be the exact opposite.

  he described himself to nymag as a “liberal, atheist, ex-jehovah’s witness computer programmer,” and “not a bigoted shill for the republican party.”.

  meet mike pence’s namesake: ‘other’ mike pence has no love lost for vp-elect.

  If he looks anything like The Trump's VP then perhaps we should kill him and replace him with the Liberal Pence.

  Check out my website on this issue at: https://globalwarmingeducationfoundation.wordpress.com/

  As for colder weather being disproof of global warming take a good look at the temperatures on Goddard Institute maps in the last winter month:

  
  

  GISS temperature anomaly map for February of 2015. Temperature bar is in degrees Celsius.
  

  Less than 2% of the Earth's surface was colder than average. Also check out the intensity of the warmest color at the lower bar at 15.5 degrees Fahrenheit above normal (8.6 Celsius). Global warming is concentrated in the Arctic regions.

  People tend to think that what happens in their backyards must be happening all over.

  I'm confused though. Are both of the parents gay? Or are they bi who happen to have custody of the child? If the parents are bi why don't they have a t-shirt with a gal or guy holding, with both hands, a girl and a boy?

  Enquiring minds would like to know.

  hi guys.. "brother" jose is quite possibly the most sinister speaker i've ever seen or heard.

  and i've seen/head a lot of cults in my time.. he's over the top with his voice tone and gestures.

  i see a future governing body member in the making here:.

  His eyes express the gestures of suppressed anger which I presume is directed at us "apostates". He'd be a nasty and worthy opponent to any of us in a confrontation since he is both knowledgeable and eloquent.

  By applying the scripture on Psalm 73 against feeling envy for the "wicked" it was amusing to think that she was having a nice conversation with her "wicked" workmate. That would be a perfect sound bite (16:30) to use in making it obvious that JWs consider the rest of humanity "wicked".

  Sanctimonious, "WE'RE Thankful EVERY day."

  thanksgiving is really just a nice, traditional, family-oriented day set aside on a national level.

  no babylon the great.

  give me a break with the holier than thou, "we don't celebrate thanksgiving.

  Could you send it to the Australian Royal Commission? Thanks.

  Slimboyfat,
  

  I wouldn't sell for less than $100 but that's just me.
  

  Yeap, but it will take me a while to fetch that price. If I don't sell it here I'll go to Amazon asking that price.

  never a jw,

  I will print my digital copy (100%legal) in 2 sided and sell it for $45.00
  

  Good old fashioned books are more desirable than a sheaf of papers with a Kinko's butterfly clip.
