  1. forum
  2. tech-support

  throughout the last couple days i've had problems viewing the avatars, likes and sometimes a post and the comment box.

  at first i was able to rectify the problem by pressing refresh but now that is doing no good.

  i've tried it in two browsers, ie and firefox but it's the same..

  United Nations elects Saudi Arabia to Women's Rights Commission

  the irony would be hilarious if it weren't so sad.

  that's right, a country that bans women from driving cars is on the un womens rights commission.

  "electing saudi arabia to protect women’s rights is like making an arsonist into the town fire chief," .

  Freemindfade,
  

  VI have you listened to any of these AntiFa maniacs?
  

  That doesn't make them fascist. Fascism is a political ideology not an obnoxious person who is severely agitated. Fascism is about extreme nationalism and purified races or societies. That describes the white nationalists that Trump has brought into his orbit.
  

  These are the people who have been empowered by Trump. Their disease has been smoldering for decades so now some cry because they're finally being confronted.

  Freemindfade,
  

  Ann Coulter speech at UC Berkeley canceled, again, amid fears for safety
  

  What about the safety of those who have been killed because of the hatred of some people who took inspiration from the likes of Coulter and Fox and Rush Limbaugh?

  I've said it before and I'll say it again, Right Wingers are like the bully who keeps punching his victim until his victim finally punches back. Then the bully says: "You see, you see! That's why you deserve to be punched! What damnable hypocrisy!

  Thirty years of Conservative hate radio and twenty years of hate television has brought this that we see now happening. You reap what you sow.

  Re-read Animal Farm.

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was one of many witness children, who studied this book in english literature class.. having re-read it as an adult it addressed so many issues i have with the organisation.

  including maniputive control, the re-writing of history etc etc.

  so many of the characters in the book, resembled characters i have known in the organisation.. boxer- loyalty without questioning.. squeler- a character who doesn't care about truth, and uses rhetoric of language to twist truth.. clover-who silently questions decisions, but stays loyal.. if your young, or old i would suggest reading this small book, by george orwell.

  The good thing about Animal Farm is that it speaks on two levels. One is a parody of the Soviet Union (To be understood by adult intellectuals) and another is a simple story, addressed to adults but readable by children.

  Another one of Orwell's books that receives no attention is Homage to Catalonia, a book about the Spanish civil war in the 1930s. Well worth the read. His experiences there (He almost died.) with the Anarcho-socialists exerted a strong influence on him.

  @Blondie. Yes, but they are Evangelicals and it is at the core of their religion that they should spread their message. Also, there are those who don't have families.

  Blondie,

  So why not gather as families...
  

  The Russians have banned Evangelical house meetings and is even banning email that has a religious message.

  They have also bulldozed Pentecostal churches.

  by Village Idiot in

  2. beliefs

  when i was in, during the 1970s, i would see circuit overseers twice a year.

  i think there were two occasions when i saw a district overseer give a talk at the hall.

  were eliminated as part of a streamlining process but who the hades has taken on their responsibilities?
