  Why are Republican's so consistantly dishonest?

  by Coded Logic in

  1. social
  2. current

  it hasn't gone unnoticed that the republicans who are saying, "we need to get to the bottom of the obama wiretapping" and "let's investigate this" - are the same people, when it comes to trump's russian ties, who are saying, "we shouldn't look at this at all - it's just a bunch of lies and hype.".

  no evidence whatsoever for claims about obama need a congressional investigation.

  but mountains of evidence about trump with more coming out everyday can be swept under the rug.

  Republicans are not any more (or less) dishonest than Democrats. Let's not start this again.........

  I got the standard response that they will look into it and review the permissions given. Meaning the JWs have permission to be there. I didn't mention the child abuse issue. I talked about the shunning issue and the homophobia and how the happiest place on earth should be one of inclusiveness and tolerance, not hate. Maybe if they hear from enough rational people......

  VI - no it was not a grunt worker. The grunt worker refused to do anything. And I kept at it and got a higher level supervisor who said there isn't anything they can do. I also wrote to their corporate governance office. Believe it or not I am not an idiot.

  Disney isn't interested in fixing this. I had tickets and asked them to stop the JWs from doing this or refund my ticket price. They refunded my ticket price........

  i have some tricks to play.

  i know it may sound childish but i feel that creating havoc and forcing the memorial to be postponed will be the highlight of the night!

  wish me luck!.

  It's a special night for them. Just because you don't agree with their teachings doesn't mean you should disrupt it. I don't believe in Easter either ( other than dinner), but I wouldn't go ruin Easter Mass for the Catholics.

  This is What I Would Need in Order to Believe

  sometimes theists challenge atheists about what evidence would be required before they would believe.

  various unlikely scenarios are offered in reply.

  i have taken the bait myself in the past.. i think the correct answer is much more ordinary.

  Cold Steel " happiness and prosperity is all tied to prosperity". That is a crock of shit and you know it. There are many prosperous and happy people who do not believe in any sort of religious ideology, much less the craziness of Mormons.

  All religions make up shit to further whatever agenda they have. Mormons made up a whole book, given to a crook on golden tablets only he could read. It tells of the Lamanites, Nephites, and others who supposedly came to North America, and yet there is not a shred of historical evidence to support it. All religions have their own delusions. Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses just think their beliefs make them morally superior to everyone else. It must be hard being the chosen one of God.

  I agree, if God exists and is all powerful, surely he could make it clear. I pointed out to a Mormon once - so you are telling me God cares whether you drink hot beverages, but he doesn't care about the millions starving to death?

  Its all made up bullshit no matter who is peddling their brand of it.

  Shunning - Are Mothers Most Fanatical?

  by Lostandfound in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  on many posts by those with experience of df or da shunning, it look to me that the most fanatical observers of the shunning practise are mothers, and when a person approached parents about their own doubts or intentions, approaching the mother the most daunting prospect .

  odd that visiting warwick leaflet has a picture of a meeting of some sort with a room comprising men only, given the subordinate role given to women, one might think they would be more liberal over shunning close ones, but not so.. what drives this, is it grabbing an opportunity to be more visible by their loyalty, or low level of education of a lot of dubs so that the sisters blindly accept direction or authority.

  i might have expected some kick back against the shunning practise by sisters giving evidence to their independence of thought.. our real thinkers here will be able to explain this fanaticism of loyalty better.

  My sister and her husband are horrible to their disfellowshipped child. She goes out of her way to be cruel. Even my very in parents think it is over the top, the way she acts. Her husband just goes along with her.

  Any atheists here? Have you come to terms with your new reality?

  alone, without my safety net of "god" being there to remember me when i die.

  after much consideration, examining science, history and using logic, i have come to the conclusion that there is no "god" at least certainly no loving, personal "god.

  " shortly before my final conclusion was reached, i read an excerpt from an expression attributed to marcus aurelius, .

  I,too, have found peace in it. I no longer have to subscribe to some arbitrary rules, ever changing, to try to gain favor. I don't have to judge others on whether they are worthy of my or Gods love. I can just love people, mistakes and all. That's really all anyone wants is to be loved and accepted for who they are, without religion/ God involved its do much easier. Whatever happens at the end of this life, I have no control over anyway.

  Love for the Hate

  i just wanted to share a perspective related to my experience with leaving the jw.

  at this point, i have been df'd since i was 18. i'm 25, happily married with 2 fantastic children.

  after being miserably at odds with my parents and extended family, i've come to some realizations as follows.. i struggled with the conditional nature of my parent's love- talking to me until it bothered their conscience, then cutting me off.

  So glad the hear of your decision. Your children can also learn from this decision. They can learn to not be manipulated into giving up their own happiness to please someone else. I hope you find peace in this decision.
