  Election Post-Mortem

  by Simon in

  i'm sure many people, republicans included, are shocked at the results of the 2016 presidential election.

  really, wtf!.

  the polls were wrong and although it's tempting to blame voter suppression and fbi interference, that would just avoid looking at the real issues for the loss.

  Nathan Natas,
  

  My goal today is to see if I can get these guys so "spun-up" they fall off their chairs.

  I think it's working. Such fun!
  

  Your self-congratulations notwithstanding we have other reasons as to why we're responding to you.

  can we expect legal problems for trump to cripple his authority?

  remember that trump u. is still pending as well as multiple accusations of groping.

  there is that one case of the woman claiming he raped her at 13. wow america, you really know how to pick'em.

  minimus,

  When will you liberals figure out that you're going in the wrong direction?

  I'm not liberal and from what I've read of Simon he might coincide on some issues with liberals but he seems more of a moderate in general terms.

  Me thinks that you are immersed in the Republican mind set where there are the Children of Light (Conservatives) and the Children of Darkness (Liberals). The real world is more complex than that oh little red dot.

  minimus,

  People liked his message.
  

  His message was nothing but the repetition of what's obvious to everyone but without offering any substantial solutions.

  And as to my last question...?

  PS: Never mind my last question which you answered. It's good to know where you stand.

  So minimus, do you actually support Trump or are you a conservative who disagrees partly or wholly in what he represents?

  What if one of the GB members suddenly needed blood?

  there is not much to be analyzed.

  in a cult enviromment the leader will always look up for himself.

  he would never hesitate to break every rule to save his own skin.

  Hopefully he'll catch an exotic disease like Creutzfeldt-Jakob (The human version of Mad Cow disease). I heard that no test can screen that out.

  I want to be a JW but they seem to hate me? Help!

  just going to give a little background about myself and then bring anyone who is reading this up to speed with where i am today:.

  growing up in a family that was not aware of jehovah's witnesses at all, as none of my family members have had a run-in with them other than my parents, my entire life has been a mess ever since we met them.

  the witnesses first came to my door when i was 12 and my dad started bringing me to meetings and we even lived with a witness family for a month when we were both homeless due to my parent's divorce.

  Brokeback Watchtower,

  Yeah I vote for Hillary and recreation sale of cannabis (california).
  

  That's good about California's marijuana laws. At least the people there can smoke their Trump-troubles away.

  Here is Nate Silver's infamous election website: http://fivethirtyeight.com/live-blog/2016-election-results-coverage/

  Trump has 168 electoral votes and Hillary has 109. She'll probably lose Florida which will impact her chances of getting a majority.

  Fossilized foot prints, how do they explain it away?

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so there have been many sets of fossilized human footprints found in africa, italy, europe, britain and new mexico.

  these foot prints are thought to be anywhere from 20,000 to 2 million years old.

  so what do christians and jws do to try to explain these away.

  Excellent book, well worth the price for its 500 pages (oversized and fine print) of exhaustive information on every aspect of the evolution/creation debate.. It has a chapter on those dinosaur prints that Creationists interpreted to be the footprints of giants (the nephilim).

  Fifteen years later, I went to the UN in person.

  2. scandals

  of all the things that the watchtower has done wrong, what would you say is the singular most powerful thing that you could point a jw to, to crack their eyes open?

  what is the singular thing that can be expressed bluntly and conclusively that might shock a jw to their senses?

  if you could only carry one arrow in your quiver on your way to war with watchtower, what would it be?.

  OnTheWayOut,
  

  The UN thing, they will say, was just for the Library card.
  

  And I would respond by saying that "having a library card is no reason to ride the beast".

  Still, I believe that 1914 is the best way to go. However, there's a new generation of Witnesses who were never exposed to the last 1914 doctrine so they may not care.
