  White clean shaven man runs over muslims

  by silentbuddha in

  so in england they report a "white clean-shaven man" mowed down worshippers at a mosque.

  why do they never make such detailed descriptions when muslims do the same?.

  i hope this event isn't a bad turning point.

  One-third or one-fourth of this world is Muslim many are religious many are not. However were all of those religious and Pious Muslims beheading people you would be dead already so you should just think about what you say. I would welcome you to my home in Houston and to my class among religious Muslims every week and acquaint you with the people I know and pray next to. I am disturbed at the level to which a former Jehovah's Witness would stoop in believing all the propaganda somebody wants to tell them one would think we would have learned by now. Not about what we should personally believe but about what others say about other people because I spent the first 15 years of my life being told that the world the entire world was evil and horrible and insane and going to be killed by God immediately if not sooner. That was a lie told me by people who had a reason to tell me a lie. One thing that many non-muslims are not aware of is what a Believer is versus what a Muslim is. You might want to educate yourself about that and stop listening to talk show hosts who are semi informed about little and ill-informed about much.

  There is nothing you could say or do to me or my community that would result in the loss of your head unless you lose your mind which is on you not Islam.

  As ever I only wish you well but I am still disappointed in so much what I hear from you.

  Simon: like a true jw can't have a beard? or that no one who loves their parents or siblings can be a "real Christian?" How do YOU define a conservative or a liberal? I am really curious because I need to know what you believe about what I think and what I believe because obviously your definition is the only one that counts and I obviously can't define myself without your approval of what I think I am or what I call myself. Because obviously as a person who is well versed in Islam and who has studied it for years in the Arabic Quran Quran and in the Masjid and among friends who are Muslim you must know more than I do. You must know how I think. In fact, you must know my full-on relationship with the Creator or as you would say the depth of my Insanity for believing in one-because your definition of all of this is truly what matters to me and indeed truly what counts. Not.

  In those first two pictures with the masked men in the meeting nobody looks very alarmed, nobody looks perturbed, nobody looks remotely distressed-so what's the deal? I don't know!

  Sekulow has a very agenda based law practice. Until now, I thought he was rooted in an idealism and devotion to promote good values, which I now recognize to be a naive idea on my part. I haven't followed his work in years but even when I did, I thought he was operating from sincerity even if he was grssping constitutionally about various issues(even some I supported at the time). Then, as now, I recognize that my ideals and preferences might not be fitting in with the laws of land and/or constitutional principles, but I wonder if Sekulow cares about principles at all. He didn't seem very passionate about his new mission which I cannot blame him for however I no longer believe that he works for what he believes in because though DJT may be spouting some conservative platitudes he is clearly not a conservative figure to stand up for. He is not a principled political or business person. I believed that Sekulow was at least working on principle before. This affiliation with Trump is troubling to me. My conservative foundation is rocked a bit more for this.

  Sometimes I am very puzzled ...!!!

  recently the extremely smart (so he tells us) but comparatively inexperienced person, elected by the very smart people who live in the usa, to be their president, announced that he was limiting ties with qatar (a small arab state in the middle east) on the grounds that they were supporting terrorism.. and yet, the very next day, he authorises the sale of twelve billion us dollars worth of modern american fighters (f15s) to that small state, in which is located ... .

  " ... the biggest us military base in the middle east, al udeid.

  ten thousand american personnel are there, many of them prosecuting the air war against isis in syria and iraq.

  Qatar doesn't benefit in any way by promoting terrorism. Tiny country, minimal military power except by proxy (us al-udeid) and greatly benefits from the peace found in that nation. I really don't get this. And my IQ tested just fine, thanks!

  Who has ever succeeded in getting an elder fired ( demoted )?

  I didn't personally, but I believe I was present at his downfall and may have impacted the consequences.

  That article in the very early 80s about 1975 was discussed at our sat. night youth WT study. The elder chaperoning was very forthright about his expectations and experience. I discussed it along with other concerns with the gal I studied with. The youth study was cancelled before 2 weeks passed. I was DA'd soon after and the nicest elder in the congregation stepped down and moved to another hall. They moved to the middle of nowhere. I don't know, but suspect that others discussed it also. All over the WT world. But in my little world he was part of the catalyst that got me out.

  whenever tragic news comes from a place far removed, I am no longer numbed by the distance or the idea that I don't know anyone-in the old days we would care, but it was really removed from our life, our experience and our relationships. The world is truly a smaller place as we have not only instant access to news, we have online friends, associates and business partners all over the country, continent and world. Families are more mobile. I've lived on 3 continents. I have family everywhere but Antarctica.

  Without any travel or interner, the horrific nature of this tragedy touches all of us. The generosity of neighbors touches us and the greed and self serving interest of the owners and uselessness of govt at times enrages. It's bad enough when a landlords greed is inconvenient to tenants, but endangering them? unconsionable.

  I hope this wakes up building inspectors and code enforcement worlwide. This is not something that should happen anywhere, much less in a city like London.

  🙁My heart broke.

  Witnesses Agree That Institutions That Don’t Report Child Abuse Should Be Fined

  by cha ching in

  today my husband was on his way to meet a friend.

  the purpose of the meeting was to discuss how to have a bill introduced into congress, which would require non-profit institutions to report child abuse to the authorities.

  the penalty for not reporting would be a fine.. one of the motives behind this effort, is to raise awareness about child sex abuse.

  Forget fines, revoke their charitable/non profit status.

  Yeah, I have had a negative view of some posters, but thanks to having a memory like a steel sieve, it's hard to hold a grudge. There is one poster that I do know as being hostile, but I chalk it up to cult damage and let it pass. I do however avoid that person's ugly face and try to approach in uncharged topics. I have enough drama, I don't need it here.
