  i see a lot of shocking videos on social media about gangs of blacks attacking white people.

  I agree ^^^ MMM. It's not the normal black people. They're suffering in communities without law enforcement and trying to protect themselves from anarchy/war crimes committed. If you go on BLM's website and check out you'll notice all contributions go directly to the Democratic party. Unless they changed it -- that's where the funds go.

  I think Wall St is happy about the vaccine news today - aren't we all. Let's hope it continues rocketing along but who knows. Would be great for one of the 2 promising vaccines to be available in the fall but most likely early 2021/bummer! Moderna and AstraZeneca making headway -- Moderna starting phase 3 of their vaccine testing.

  Newest Anti-Apostate Tactics

  by Anna Marina in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  don't quote any scriptures during the watchtower study that are not in the paragraph.. don't quote the governing body or anything from the broadcast ever.

  it might be true but it is not true truth if it is coming out of your mouth if you have been critical of the governing body.

  especially so if your criticism is valid and you have dared to support you view with scriptures, most especially the words of jesus christ.. anyone know of other new tactics?.

  AM - hahaha - I recall like it was yesterday because after the clergy class would make the remark to please stick to only scriptures quoted when answering she'd go right ahead and answer the following Sunday with all her added scriptures. She had serious clout via her clan in the area and that particular hall who ran the circus for yrs. It was great! I didn't like sitting through all of it - I doubt 99% of them knew the scriptures like she did but looking back now it's great she totally ignored anything they said.

  I heard another story re/set up for memorial - certain table cloth coverings? I didn't pay much attn. because I'd heard she was always going off about something. Anyway, she brought her special linen table runner (table cloth) for the event and the Gestopo in Crooklyn must have demanded certain beige/cream whatever color or local elder didn't approve of what she brought in and didn't use her item(s) or picked one up -- she called whoever was in charge and let them know they were wrong and hers was more appropriate - oh my/hilarious.

  They were yelling yrs. ago from platform not to quote scriptures in paragraph. I understood because a couple of JWs liked to show off their bible knowledge and blather on and on.

  BBC Sunday Morning on Jehovah's Witnesses

  by Newly Enlightened in

  2. scandals

  in august the jehovah’s witnesses will give evidence to the independent inquiry into child sex abuse.

  submissions will also be heard from survivors who have criticised the church’s handling of abuse allegations.

  their appearance comes as campaigners around the world are questioning why the religion is restructuring the organisation and selling off substantial amounts of property.

  In the USA, why so often is the vote for President just a vote against someone?

  by RubaDub in

  in my lifetime, (i will include kennedy even though i was probably breast-feeding at the time), but it seems that there have been relatively few presidents that we vote "for.

  " my list would be kennedy, reagan, clinton and obama.

  i'm not talking about their politics here but who generally got voted for, instead of simply voting against.. any thoughts?.

  Eisenhower was a responsible president and has received minimal credit. He served his country and lived a very frugal life - lifestyle never changed and he received a ludicrous salary. Never fleeced taxpayers nor corrupt. Goes against the grain of Dems/handouts and I recall their vitriol long after he left office. Historians are finally revealing his accomplishments/leadership. I've 'heard' couple libertarians/independents/x-dems - one who is a Dem lifer chat about the subject.
