i'm think with the president having the ability to use nuclear weapons the need for a psychological exam should be a must for world safety because of the very real damage an easily offended narcissist could do if in a narcissistic rage he had access to nuclear weapons.
since he has clearly shown he has all 100% of the signs that he is one,, surely he can be impeached over this even in conservative run house and senate.
i think the united states owes the world that precaution to not let a mad man have access to nuclear weapons.
It's not like Hilary was any better. Still evil, a narcissist, just a different agenda. I don't love Trump either, but..........
The sky is falling, it's the end of the world, Armageddon is going to happen, except it never does. He was elected because a lot of people voted for him.
How would you feel if Hilary had won and everyone was pulling all this shit? It would probably be blamed on misogyny, not the fact that she is a bad choice too.
not sure if this has already been submitted, but we need exjws to mobilize on this.. from: https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/5kzyfn/lets_get_jws_propaganda_out_of_disneyland/.

i submitted the following on the disneyland facebook page (link below) on december 19th after seeing jws peddling their cult propaganda at downtown disney in anaheim, ca.
I can't believe they let them set up on Disney property. That's the last thing I want to see when going for a day of very expensive fun.
there are two kingdom halls in two parts of the county i live in.
one is smaller and their are already about to begin work to replace with a new one.. just posting because i noticed posts saying their wasn't new khs being built.
and i learned this today from someone..
Congratulations
you guys do know that if you just leave and never go back you wont be disfellowshiped right?
i know people who have done exactly this.
you have to commit a sin and you or someone else has to tell a elder.
I think you are missing the point in your own post. You can't ever really leave , because someone else will report you to the elders for a sin. Even though the things Jehivahs Witnesses consider sinful are not. They don't understand - it's not for them to decide what is right for anyone else.
I did fade by moving thousands of miles away from home. Then no one knows who you are, so they can't stalk you. I have family members who weren't so lucky. After years of not attending meetings, they were stalked by elders trying to find something on them to disfellowship them. Please stop trying the feign being naïve, we all know how Jehovahs Witnesses work. Go try to fool some vulnerable "worldly" person who doesn't know any better.
with our latest and final run in with the elders, the wife and i had a very long talk about what's next in our life.
do we try to help others see the light as it were concerning watchtower or do we just let it go and move on with our life?
we have made it perfectly clear that we will never go back to watchtower and we are finally happy.
I don't think it's wrong to make your own decision about what is right for you and your wife. Unlike in the organization, you can also change your mind as you learn and grow 😀. I don't do too much activist wise, because I think people have to find their own path.
I saw watchtower and awakes at our local court house, I ripped them up, and told the county commissioners that type of thing has no business in a secular building. Apparently an employee put them in the waiting area, not anymore! I will do stuff like that, as it comes up, but for the most part I just ignore everything JW related. It's not worth my time.
notice the 144000 can be counted and they all come from israel.. 9 after this i saw, and look!
a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues,*+ standing before the throne and before the lamb, dressed in white robes;+ and there were palm branches in their hands.+ .
this great crowd, no man was able to number, and they come from every nation!
Oh boy another believe or die thread.
any elder has never asked me that question so far but i want to be prepared to answer that question if any of them ask me that question in the future.
i hope that they will never ask me that question.
any suggestions on how to answer that question would be very much appreciated.
just because someone asks you a question doesn't mean you have to answer it.
maybe there will be a mass exodus from jws when thinking people read feb 2017 watchtower telling them the governing body stuff up, shouldnt expect correct/ perfect information and basically make up guff as they see fit.....ya reckon?.
They have to WANT to leave, and most of the don't want to.
aren't there christian denominations who do not make false end of the world predictions but who nevertheless believe that the world will eventually end and paradise (whether in heaven or on earth) will come?.
it seems the watchtower was just jumping the gun when they made false end of the world predictions but they are nevertheless the right: the world will eventually end and paradise will come..
No the end of the world is not coming. Live your life, stop deferring waiting for a fantasy world.
jws like to think they have found the one true religion.
but like so many other religious people, it's usually the religion they were born into, the only religion they know because it's the first one they found or, at the most, one of two or three (typically the second one after they left their first / born-in faith).. the trouble is, there simply isn't enough time to explore and investigate each and everyone of the many thousands of belief systems, religions and sects around the world.. think of it this way: which is the best neighbourhood to live in where you would be most happy and most successful?
not just in the city or even the country you are in, but the entire world.. how would you ever know?
I agree. What are the chances out of all the people and religions in the world, God chose a white guy in America, who was a drunk, cheated on his wife, as the leader of his one true religion. Really?
