  Steve Hassan - politics as a cult

  by Anna Marina in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  see this video at 2:58. sanity4sweden explains that 'cult expert' steve hassan was on cnn giving advice on how to deprogram trump supporters.. https://www.bitchute.com/video/3plguubdsjs/.

  so this must be political correctness on steroids.. i have occasionally heard the name steve hassan mentioned in relation to the watchtower.

  but even watchtower helps people to escape cults.

  25/30 complex bethelites...

  by silentbuddha in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was wondering if there are any other former bethelites who worked in this complex during the late 80s and 90s who are on this board.

  i am asking because it appears this specific set of people seemed to have or experience the worst aspects of that hell hole and i wanted to see if there are any others.

  Would You Like To See Your Police Departments “Defunded”?

  do you think it’s a good idea?.

  Today's "The New Paper" email had this:
  
  

  Extra: The cities of Camden, NJ and Compton, CA disbanded their police forces in 2012 and 2000, respectively, instead opting for county-wide police departments.

  Interesting background, although not extensive.

  IMO, local is probably better but perhaps a "regional" approach would dilute individual pockets of 'troublesome' police attitudes?
  

  There certainly is room for improvement but ... we also have to accept that some cops are idiots (like some teachers, some elders, some parents, etc.) and always will be. Training, psychological evaluations, etc. won't eliminate them all.

  It's a tough job under the best of circumstances. It is surprising that cops stay so professional 99% of the time.

  Is it me or is John Cedars channel becoming a self important circle fest

  by phoenixrising in

  i still like the commentary on the jw.org monthly’s, i can skip through some parts.

  but it seems like he is pushing too hard to put out videos and the quality is getting very low on the content..

  I hate his nasty accent.

  Uncertain what button his demeanor pushes for me....he sounds kinda' like every smarmy CO who ever slithered into my life (50% were like that, IMO), or maybe a Shaklee sales person from 'corporate.'
  

  Some of the content caught my attention but I can't get by his presentation. The content is not really unique so ... why tolerate the nausea?

  Bias in News

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you can't escape bias in the news media, so making it visible is the next best thing.. just came across this site which aims to label the news stories to show who is covering it.

  you can see how some stories are only covered by one side which shows either their bias, or the bias of the other side from not covering it.. well worth checking out:.

  I agree with Minimus, the media are truthful and unbiased.
