I finally get why people like to shun.

it finally hit me today.

why do religions enjoy shunning.

because many people feel like being close to god makes them special however just being special is not enough for many religious people that shun they must feel extra special how?

Well that psychologically didn't work for me. I didn't like shunning people. It always felt weird to me. If and when I ever did shun anybody who was DF'd it was because the person DF'd wanted to be shunned as they were working on getting reinstated and they were true believers as far as I knew. As for my relatives who were DF'd I never shunned them.

It has been about 20 years since I lived in my hometown I don't know who is still in and who is out and if they are still in are they weak or strong or do they still believe. It's difficult to gauge on what level some aunts, uncles and cousins are on the JW scene when you been away from them for a while.

what can we make of this?

rice is on record being a racist and lying about benghazi, now this?

The unmasking of unidentified Americans in intelligence reports is within the scope of the job of a national security advisor like Rice only under certain circumstances.

Americans who are not under surveillance are redacted from summaries of monitored conversations and not just unmasked like you say at the security advisors whim like you seem to suggest.

If this was the Trump administration with the same accusations or at the center of the controversy this thread would already be 8 to 10 pages long with very anti-Trump poster spewing their rhetoric of how bad trump is and how long it will be before impeachment proceedings begin.

Try living in a predominate Islamic country like Saudi Arabia and see Islam in its native countries and then explain to me what a moderate muslim is.

SPOLETTA:

Im sick of that as well as the anti-Trump bullshit people keep spewing every time he blinks his eyes.

I can understand and even respect other people's points of view but I've gotten to the point to where I finally just completely cut some liberal Democrats out of my life permanently and as a laidback, pot-legalizing advocate homosexual that is saying a lot regarding their pig-headed intolerance - I will only tolerate bullshit so much and then finally I'm done.

I liked the older books that had a little bit of history in them also, like Your Will Be Done On Earth. I believe it was that book that mentioned how cosmic rays may be used by Jehovah, lol

Trump pledges to 'totally destroy' law that bars political speech by churches, other orgs

by OrphanCrow in

no wonder the gb aren't too concerned about getting involved in foreign politics.

they have rutherford's clone on their side.. https://www.rt.com/usa/376119-trump-political-speech-churches/.

at the national prayer breakfast, president donald trump repeated a campaign promise, vowing to end the federal law that restricts political speech and activity by churches and other tax-exempt organizations.

littlerockguy

They are all already political anyway. You can't turn on the news without seeing a political headline without with pope mentioned in it or him opening his fat mouth about something political. That goes with all the evangelicals, Al Sharpton, etc. Churches and clergy need to be fined every time they get involved in secular worldly political matters.

If somebody believes that my expression of love and affection to another human being who happens to be somebody of the same sex is a sin they are not somebody that I want in my life.
