Not sure about that, but they have forgotten about the reality of a 16 year old war in Afshitistan.

Do You Think People Have Forgotten About 9/11?
by minimus inafter all these years, it seems to me that people do not properly take note of what happened on this date in 2001. for some, it’s like nothing major happened.
for me it is a day of reflection..

Do You Think People Should Be Scorned For Wearing A Red MAGA Hat?
by minimus indo you support free choice to wear a political hat or article of clothing?
if someone wants to put a bumper sticker on their car in support of a political candidate or party, should they be able to do it without fear of being maligned or abused?

People should be clear on all that a symbol implies and not show false outrage when they piss off everyone around them. Be willing to stand for your beliefs however unpopular. This isn't meant as permission for people to be violent, its just that when you flip people off they will likely react in an unfriendly manner.

Money! How much did you "Contribute" To The WTB@TS When You Were A Member
by The Bethelite ini was in full time service for six years including bethel.
once i got out of bethel, i figured i had already given them six of the best years of my life (ages 18-24) working as a slave/drone in their factory, so i rationalized that i had given them enough... so over the next 27 years i would say maybe $200 bucks is it.
i think their whole "voluntary contributions" idea is biting them in the ass, because over all jehovah's witnesses are a cheap group people with a few exceptions.

If you don't count money for literature, not a dime. I wasn't cheap, I just had faith Joobiedo would take care of it. I did my part in time and blood. Screw'em. -

If You Could Live In Any Era or Decade What Would It Be?
by minimus ini kind of like the 50’s and early 60’s because of the innocence and “happy days” outlook by that generation.
it seems most people were pretty innocent and real.. would you rather be living in a different era or is this century working for you?

As I read these posts I notice that most pick the time period from their tweens to late 20's as the best. I don't think it has as much to do with the "times" as it does with that time in our life when we are still open to new ideas and events. We conflate "the times" with "our" times. I agree with Blondie. I would have died young without medical breakthroughs and let's face it, the communication possible on the net has made the world much smaller. I like that.

Hitting the fan: CD epidemic at my Hall
by neat blue dog inyesterday my congregation met for field service and the elder taking the lead did something not so smart: he brought up the child abuse situation and the recent news articles hitting local news across the country.
he said 'you can see that the persecution is really coming' and that we should be ready if someone complains about it at the door.
(funny how it's persecution when it's us and righteous judgment when it happens to the other churches.

It was a kiss. A long, deep, passionate kiss when I was young. Never had one like it since. Sure, some good ones, but nothing so epic. Right person, right place and the right lover. Youth.

Honesty seems to be the first victim for some ex-JW's. "They acted paranoid we were there to video and use it for apostate purposes.... Well, you were. Ha, Ha, Ha they laughed. Act suspicious and you will be greeted with suspicion. It was disingenuous and I wasn't impressed.

Of course we can't blame Trump, he didn't recommend anyone shoot Mexicans. He said they were drug dealers and rapists, but that's not telling people to kill them. The question is, why does his rhetoric appeal to people who shoot Mexicans and inspire personal expressions like the spelling of his name with weapons? The shooter in El Paso liked this one and retweeted it. Do you think he wasn't influenced by Trump's race baiting? Trump has set the tone and the white supremacists are marching to it.
