  Will Donald Trump Be Impeached Before His Term Ends?

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  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.

  From the LA Times:
  

  The president elect comes to the job with the habits of an entrepreneur and a showman, not a manager of large organization. He's known for making decisions based on the last advice he heard. He makes policy pronouncements on Twitter, often without his aides knowing in advance.

  ...
  

  "Trump is further behind on taking control of the bureaucracy than any President in history."

  ...

  "Trump has never dealt with a bureaucracy like this," Light said. "His businesses are flat, and that's fine. But the federal government is arguably the least flat organization there is; it has 63 layers of executives and managers."

  Vidiot,

  I don't think he'll cower so much as just not give a shit.
  

  You have a point.

  I believe that it's not what Trump does that will endanger us but what he will not do. The Russians can overrun Eastern Europe and he would just cower and do nothing.

  Brokeback Watchtower,

  I hope the US government enacts regulation in the future to prevent embarrassing situations like this moron suffering from a personality disorder becoming president from ever happening again. At least some type some kind of appropriate psychoanalysis recommending them safe for the job of running a country.
  

  There should be an IQ test, a psychopathy test, and a geopolitical test given to every candidate of any party before they can even be considered for public office.

  They were disfellowshipping those who were no longer in attendance in the early 1980s. They had an article where they equated those who were not at the meetings, calling them disassociated, with those who were disfellowshipped. In the Watchtower article, they even made it a point to write out disassociated/disfellowshipped in one word with that slash.

  Raymond Franz himself was disfellowshipped for having a meal with his landlord/employer who was an inactive member (even though the article came out after he was seen with him).

  In my disfellowshipping appeal, I told the elders that I wanted to disassociate myself and they said that it would not make a difference based on that very same article.

  I also knew an elderly lady JW and neighbor of mine that was disfellowshipped around that time simply for not attending the meetings.
  

  I don't think they're doing that anymore but you never know; they can go back to it anytime.

  My Dad wants to study with me

  so my parents continue to pester me about getting baptized.

  the other day my dad told me that i was old enough to make a decision, and was wondering why i wasn't ready (assembly is in a few weeks) so i told him calmly that i have many doubts and if i were to get baptized it has to be 100 percent my idea.

  he was a little annoyed by this, and now wants to study the "is there a creator that cares about you" book (which is complete bs) with me.

  BlackWolf,
  

  ...if worse comes to worse maybe one of my non jw relatives will let me stay with them.
  

  As Outlaw said you might want to touch bases with your non-JW relatives before anything happens. One thing is sure, you're not going to get out of your situation until you get out of their house.

  A Believer,
  

  The Bible is about how Gods intention for the Earth was to be a paradise, and how it will be returned to that way.

  It seems that you don't know your Christian scriptures at all. In it you'll find that the crux of those scriptures is about God's plan for salvation of sinful man not some pretty trees and cute Panda Bears. It's sad that an atheist should have to tell you this.
