what if we could exchange one president from another country to yours?...
say trump for trudeau, trudeau for trump, trump in exchange for your respective european country, etc -- for a few years?
would you consider it a win or a loss for your country?.
sparky - I'm not surprised and now vaguely recall hearing something like that -- I'll google at some point not that I trust the info but facts should rear head at some point. I appreciate hearing all sides. Is there any integrity left out there! I do recall President Trump having to fight/help his father out re/big revamp/bid on contract but at that point I wasn't too into politics.
Thanks.
hi guys and girlies, .

🙂 i’m really enjoying all of your stories and contributions.
Giordano - love your interacting with Blacks in your hall. There were so few in hall we attended but good people - wanted their kids to have strong education and were strict parents (they were raised that way themselves before becoming JWs and parents were a mixed marriage). One of my best friends in junior high was a nice, beautiful, black, girl. So reserved and sweet - I loved her over all the caucasians and was so thrilled we'd be attending same high school. I think there were only a couple (if that) other black students and after couple days she transferred out. Lost contact with her - I've searched for her and gave up. What a place she holds in my heart - I might have to search again.

tiki- mine very similar to tiki's post - greatest Grandmother/Grandfather/Aunt - loved my Grandmother's cooking/baking - everything and spent 96% of my childhood there. She would win first prize at the Grange (farmer's country-club) and state fair on her chocolate fudge, cakes and sewing/needlework. Even had a swimming pool but I was taken to church regularly (and shopping every Saturday) with my Beloved Aunt but they had fun events for the kiddos - egg hunts and crafts, etc. They were my beloved family.

Sorry, The Listener - I hit the 'Dislike' in error. Gads - just ignore -- it was a previously post.

It's terrible having a wealthy president who isn't a Clinton/Obama crook fleecing the government = the taxpayers. Guess too many people don't pay taxes to care one way or the other.
President Trump takes no salary -- he donates the $400,000/yr back to the country's respected causes/charities. Of course $400 K was just chunk change to Obamas/Clintons (probably used the pittance of a salary for Putin's xmas gift) who became multi-millionaires off the system. Better to dwell on wealth of President Trump's father - talk about desperation of the Democrats. Many previous Americans became immensely wealthy without political crooking.
an article at churchmilitant.com [known for hard-core catholicism] discusses lawsuits filed against jw.org and the bsa as soon as new york's child victims act opened a one-year suspension of the statute of limitations.
the attorney cited in the article, irwin zalkin, has a track record of success against catholic dioceses.. "now most of you have probably heard about priest abuse and clergy abuse within the catholic church," said zalkin.
"but the jehovah's witnesses have been flying a little bit under the radar.".
Newsweek and NY Times = same? I'm not googling to verify because I don't subscribe to NYT.
it is truly heartwarming to see so many new ones sign up to this site as most of us know it can be quite stressful at first ,because of the indoctrination we have all gone through in going on apostate sites .. the guilt ,paranoia ,fear , apprehension ,even being a judas fear, all unnatural fears put on us by a mind controlling cult.. that wants us to be captives of there religious interpretations about the bible.. however this and other sites like it are the only way we can find out about {the truth about the truth} ttatt.. welcome everybody..
Welcome aboard, Benny. This place is a real refuge and hiding place from the storm (as you've gathered) and lots of reality 101 about religion, science, you name it.
why the shunning if someone leaves?
why are they working so hard to keep everyone in?
is it money?
LongHairGal -- I prefer being shunned when I'm shopping (doing anything) because they know I'm happy and was miserable around them (what little time I forced myself )- ahhh, memories 101! You and I aren't being chased around for handouts - suits me just fine! I prefer to give/spend my money in a worthwhile way.
i’m just curious if you think your past life either adversely or positively affected your relationships?.
Has anyone read the Huffpost article posted by Anderson Info: Wednesday: Silent No More, Part 3? He certainly has a different opinion/analogy than most. Some interesting links under that topic. It's easy to find - Vidiot has bumped it forward.

the article is mistaken, the fire was at the big assembly hall.
Ahh, VID - thanks/glad you moved this up as I hadn't read all the links.
