  Will Donald Trump Be Impeached Before His Term Ends?

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. social
  2. current

  i'm thinking his willful failure to be briefed by the cia about russian election tampering and not understanding diplomatic protocall.

  making off handed statements without proper research about the mater.

  he's an outsider when it comes to running the government that will make big mistakes at every turn because he seems clueless when it comes to running a government.. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/michael-moore-predicts-trump-impeach-resign_us_58261464e4b0c4b63b0c6dee.

  With reference to Outlaw's image on nuclear war I have my own idea on that. I believe that Putin, perceiving that he could take advantage of Trump's incompetence, might think that he could get away with a first strike nuclear war without having more than a few million of his own killed. Trump, in the manner of all bullies, is a coward who does not have the guts to stand up to anyone who can hurt him. In such an event he'll take his presidential jet to some underground bunker in the Caribbean.

  The only one who might counterbalance that would be the vice-president, if he's still alive.

  Those are not impeachable offenses. I think that his vice president and advisors will keep him afloat and clean up every mess he makes.

  As for Republican politicians, they will tolerate Trump so long as they can manipulate him to their own interests. Without Republicans wanting to impeach him the process simply won't happen.

  How long does it take to get a response from the branch office?

  by Homer notsimpson in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does any one have any experience with writing to the branch office?

  i know they're busy, but while reading through the shepherd textbook, it says to write to them quite a few times.

  so if a body of elders write to the branch office, whats the usual wait time for a response?

  I'm cross posting this from another thread and it is an expansion of a comment I made earlier on this thread.

  A Believer, you should have the balls and integrity to respond to this and all other points made by the posters here.

  A Believer,
  

  Regarding the 1975 thread my stance is that while many were expecting it, it was never said to be a definite thing or was it said that Jehovah told them it would be that year.
  

  I believe I responded to that on one of your threads but I never got a reply. Here it is again.

  In 1974 I went to a special talk at the Inglewood Public Forum (Sothern California) to listen to a talk about 1975 from none other than Frederick Franz. He was then vice-president of the Watchtower.

  He specifically said that the end would occur anywhere from a few months to a few years after September of 1975. He specifically excluded the possibility that it would be decades after 1975. Using the logic of the "Adam and Eve gap" he said that if it were to take decades than that would mean that Adam would have been without a mate for that long and that would tempt Adam into bestiality!!!
  

  His statement, in his sing song voice, was: "Would Jehovah let Adam to be tempted into bestiality? Noooo brothers and sisters."

  This statement came from the pinnacle of the governing body thus contradicting what you said about them having not made a direct statement on the matter.

  Now what's your response?

  Ditto. Same exact song. I think it was played during my baptism. Nowadays I equate it with my leaving the organization out of a sense of integrity.

  Oppostate, what exactly are those children saying on those calls? Doesn't the Watchtower know that the sound of children on the phone is bound to make "worldlings" suspicious and turned off?
