where your mental image of a place does not match up with where you intellectually know it actually is?

1. great britain: i always picture it to the west of france.

if i'm reading about the norman invasion or d-day i always see it in my head as crossing the channel east-west / west-east.

Climate propaganda

by neat blue dog in

gotta love jwdotorg as usual regurgitating the financially/politically motivated (and thoroughly disproved) climate change propaganda:.

''One volcano puts more CO2 in atmosphere than all mankind's efforts for the period of the eruption.''

I tried but couldn't find back up for this assertion either.

Apart from this,

'' human activities emit a Mount St. Helens-sized eruption of CO2 every 2.5 hours ''

What is the harm or downside of being PIMO?

by PimoElder in

what is the harm or downside of being pimo?.

i get all the good things about being in the cong, good social life lots of invites to bbqs and meals out.

lots of interesting gossip 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

''Even if you don't mentally support it, you are implying that you do to others. Your very presence adds to the JW numbers ands gives a false impression. You and others like you are helping the org to survive. I take great offense at that and consider you to be a weak person. I could never support that organization in any way. You and I are as different as night and day.

addendum: Your faking it is contributing to the captivity of thousands like my family members. I hold you accountable for that.''

I agree.

I also hold PIMO's as bearing some responsibility for any deaths that result from the no blood rules. PIMO's add to the peer pressure that other Witnesses are under to comply with rules that can result in death.

But hey, it's a great social life. I should know, I was exactly the same as a PIMO myself for years.

Life In Communist Victoria Australia If You Are In The Workforce

by jonahstourguide in

well, it has happened.. workers in these industries will be forced to vax or lose their employment.. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-10-01/victoria-which-authorised-workers-mandatory-vaccination-onsite/100506980.

i'm glad to be out of the workforce.. never thought it would come to this in a supposed democratic society.. no wonder protests and law suits are increasing in intensity.

like for fucks sake,,, a worker at a takeaway bottle / liquor shop.

PistolPete, ''Do the math ratios to see who is doing better.''

Ok.

USA, assuming 333 million people plus 27 million illegal immigrants = 360 million people.

USA, assume covid deaths is 720 thousand. The maths ratio is 1 in 500.

Australia, assuming 25 million people.

Australia, assume covid deaths is 1350. The maths ratio is 1 in 18,500.

I'm confused which side of the argument you're coming from. Are you saying Australia is doing better based on the math ratio?

Have you got any proof for that statistic please.

Thanks in advance

Religious groups in UK failing children over sex abuse, report says - BBC News

by ballistic in

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-58420270.

this item just featured on the bbc lunchtime news today as the headline story and the piece included a reporter who singled out jehovah's witnesses for discussion from the 30 organisations covered by the report.

the news item then went on to feature an extensive interview ex elder and ex jehovah's witness writer lloyd evans..

ThomasCovenant

Just missed it on TV.

But it's one more reason why I don't trust anyone that belongs to any religion.

Followers of any religion have a tendency to put the reputation of that religion above common decency.
