  Unfortunately I see some sort of false flag scenario coming, I know that sounds paranoid. I have seen Canadian Vets shoveling a monument, elderly ladies staying up all night baking muffins, Polish immigrants bringing food and all kinds of nice things people are doing! If some sort of criminal activities do happen I think they will be from the other side and made to look like it is the trucker faction doing it.

  Shania Law, ha, I Iike that!

  I am in the U. S. and there are many, many videos of just plain nice people and all very law abiding in my opinion, coming across fb it is incredible. I also see that many other countries are planning their own trucker convoys.

  I saw (Ottawa?) that the police chief is going to arrest anyone giving food or gas to the truckers? Is this so? how can he make a law just like that? how could it be illegal to give food to someone in need?

  I see the new site for donations to them is over 5 million now after gofundme tried to rip them off.

  Did You Miss Playing Sports?

  how many of you missed playing sports in school?

  the wt was merely trying to keep us from committing suicide.... how loving.take a look at this fear mongering :problems with sports today - g91 8/22 p. 5. .

  "people used to argue that sports were of value because they built character.... such arguments sound hollow, even hypocritical.. .

  @Biahi, yes! when I (ubm, never a jw) found out what they taught in a regular meeting regarding sex in general with all age groups & genders I was appalled to say the least. When I talked with others about it (all non jw) we all agreed it was an abuse of sorts or at least like exposing minors to illicit materials. I was outraged, needless to say I never allowed my kids to step foot in a kh for exactly that reason along with a million others.

  jw's seem to think the competition part of sports is bad yet they seem to have their own sport or competition going on in my mind. Don't the men always want to get ahead in the org? isn't the goal to become an elder and they compete to reach that coveted goal? don't the women brag about pioneering and how many hours they get in and so forth?

  I can't think of a more dismal religion to be in as a child. Some middle eastern ones would be worse I suppose but in the western modern world jw's are right up there.

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  should we refer watchtower as to a online religion now?

  i mean we could discuss if they ever return to kingdom hall's in the future.

  Only if it has as negative connotation as 'televangelist' does in the minds of jw's, in my opinion. Oddly my jw still says the word 'televangelist' with such disdain it is palpable even though that is basically what the jw's have become!

  Just finally watched this (The Bearing Witness episode), all of it makes one angry and sad but the end really got me with the nana retelling how she would be forgotten by her grandchild so he could shun her.

  You can open the article in a new window or not it doesn't matter, highlight the address, right click 'copy', come here and if you see the little icon that looks like a paperclip click it and a box will show up and ask 'what url should this link go to, right click and hit 'paste', click blue box that says 'insert link'
