  firstly i appreciate the work mark o’donnell does for the xjw community.

  no doubt this has also been discussed numerous times before.

  but with regard to those documents that were illegally stolen in that vice documentary.

  The earlier Pay Attention elders’ manual also has a publisher notice.

  Anony Mous;

  Letters and statements of facts (eg. finance records) don't have copyright associated with them in the way that a book or literary work does. Likewise if certain documents are filed in a lawsuit, these become public domain.

  It is true that basic information, for example a list of numbers, can’t be copyrighted, but the way facts are presented can still be subject to copyright. It is not the case that descriptions of facts can’t be copyrighted. Documents that become public record do not automatically fall into public domain, i.e., you can’t start selling copies of someone else’s copyrighted work just because the document was used in a court case.

  If WTBTS claims copyright, then it admits that it has authored those documents, which is why they don't claim copyright on for example, the elder manual but they do on for example any other publication they have ever made.

  This claim about the Watch Tower Society not claiming copyright over the ‘elder’s manual’ is entirely false. Where the entire book has been copied, they have had it removed from sites. However they would have no case where a snippet of the book is used along with commentary, which is fair use. Publication information is explicitly stated in the book.

  Taking The Knee 14 months after George Floyd's death

  taking the knee became popular among sportspeople immediately after the death of george floyd in may 2020.. most football (that's soccer to you yanks) players are still taking the knee before matches more than a year later.. what has it achieved?

  .

  what do expect it to achieve in the future?.

  IWant2Leave:

  Colin Karpernick knelt in 2016 protesting police brutality, oppression, and racial injustice before the world ever heard of George Floyd.

  I thought it wasn’t something that only started after Floyd’s death. The specific gesture aside, there remain significant problems with the BLM ‘movement’ though.

  Surely the Black Lives Matter movement could come up with a more meaningful mascot than someone who was defrauding a business owner while amped up on drugs (and killed not merely ‘by police’, but by someone already known to him through working together as private security). That is if their intentions are actually to help prevent racism. But there is a chasm between the concept that ‘black lives matter’ and the BLM movement.

  The unfolding crisis in Afghanistan is completely Joe Biden's fault, nobody else's

  so, there's been a lot of talk on social media, blaming trump for the current crisis that began at the weekend.. it's a load of bullsh!t from deluded people who are desperate to blame anyone but joe biden, the idiot they voted for or at least wanted to win last november.. there is only one person, just one person, to blame: joe biden.. he has the heavy burden of making tough presidential decisions.. and after this debacle, it's reasonable to ask if he's up to making such decisions..

  After 20 years, Afghanistan’s own government and military couldn’t stand up for itself to defeat the Taliban. But yeah, no one to blame but Biden. Because Team America are the World Police after all. The very thought of expecting a separate country to be able to manage its own internal affairs! Clearly the US should just stay there forever. (I’m not saying though that the timing was not foolish.)

  Perhaps you'll understand with an illustration:

  🙄 oh, you think I just ‘don’t understand’. Cute. 😂

  I guess it’s part of the JW mindset that if you can come up with an ‘illustration’ for something, it means that the analogy is automatically completely true without any additional complexity or nuance.

  Anony Mous:

  And that has been his entire administration, you see an issue and basically get the consensus from CNN talking heads to override anyone on the ground.

  🙄 what are you on about now? 🤦‍♂️ I don’t watch CNN, and I didn’t say Biden hasn’t made things worse for the situation in Afghanistan.

  Not the Taliban’s fault. Not the Afghan government/military. Not previous US administrations going back decades. No, all Joe Biden. 🤦‍♂️

  Why is there a large cat in this picture?

  i wonder if anyone can explain this.

  ezekiel 34:25 says .

  and i will make a covenant of peace with them, and i will rid the land of vicious wild beasts, so that they may dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the forests.. the land is said to be rid of vicious wild beasts, so why does the watchtower picture in the new pure worship book show a large predatory cat on the tree in this picture?

  Thanks. I’d be happy for anyone to point out any errors. (Something more useful than pointless ‘dislikes’ 😂.)
