Yep - I didn't realize "Living Well is the Best Revenge" has been around since 1593 -- it's an old Spanish proverb used by a George Herbert, English clergyman/poet. I've had a set of bar glasses since 70's with the inscription - so cool.

Do You Think That Belonging To Certain Political Parties Suggests You Are Uneducated or Poor?
by minimus ini hear some people say that if you are a republican or democrat that you must not be very educated, intelligent or monetarily stable.
.
do you think it’s proper to paint any person as less than favorable because of their political opinions?

Hope the American tourists that hate President Trump stay in Europe and good riddance. Maybe they should get the facts about their beloved swamper Dems and face the party's corruption.

More crazy -- how can they prove unless there are witnesses -- otherwise more he said she said. How can they police expletives thrown around. It's disgusting behavior but really!

Normal Family Relations Continue...My Arse....
by HiddenPimo ini think that the big issue here is the double standard based on the location of the family members - if they are 'immediate' meaning they live at home in the same dwelling under the same roof then it's ok but if you are like me and living on your own, your family will absolutely avoid contact with you as that is the real jw policy..the old canada court trial and recent swedish news are totally out of context and the jw attorneys are complete tools and filthy liars....

I hope the cult WTS "Family Relations" shunning reality saturates planet earth and becomes mammoth problem for them. Nothing seems to bring them to their knees because of the adherents delusions of grandeur - where else can they feel winners in life and superior -- just nauseating. It doesn't matter what the cult commands of JWs.

Guess the Lord came to save all the sinners, eh!! One time standing in back of hall a bethelite elder said there's not one person sitting in these rows that isn't a sinner and all are bad, etc., -- WOW! I couldn't believe what he'd said and responded, "really!" Child abusers, wife beaters, embezzlers, alcoholics, drug dealers - this list of negatives would be a great billboard to join your local JW kingdom hall. Scary bunch and the 'truth' must fail so many - sad. I know there are exceptions.
zeb - I hear ya but it's sad that so many are -- I blame society and parental failures/problems to a large extent but there's probably valid reasons in the biology/chemistry.

What's the diff between Echo and Alexa? I've noticed the Alexa at times doesn't respond or if I don't yell the command slowly it gets confused and just goes off. Is this normal -- seems strange since it's plugged into hard wire.
