  If I'm not mistaken, its a technicality that as a non profit (I forget the designation 501 or 503 religion) they can't tell you you can't vote. Thus the 99' conscience matter. But like most things witness what the carefully write out in print and what is practiced are two different things many times.

  I am partial to Islay singles, however, in my opinion, the king of all whiskeys is MaCallan 18yr.

  I have a wide variety of bourbons I drink more often the scotch whisky, but my #1 of all time, MaCallan 18

  Question for New Yorkers

  by EdenOne in

  quick question because of a current writing project i have in hands .... if you live on staten island, what would be the assembly hall you would attend for a circuit assembly ?.

  another question: in 2014 were there still circuit assemblies?

  or had it been already narrowed down to special assembly days?.

  I don't recall seeing any Staten Island folks at the Assembly hall in Brooklyn on Flatbush, I imagine it would be easier and cheaper for them to go to the Stanley Theatre in Jersey honestly. Staten "Italy" is more like Jersey than NYC anyway lol.

  I want to say there were still CA in 2014. That was around the time of Tight Pantsgate. I think things really started changing faster mid to post 2014.

  I thought this part was a real farce:

  All proceeds go to international non-profit programs, disaster relief, literacy programs and education in 800 languages

  literacy???? education????

  how has offending become the worst crime of the 21st century?

  actually, forget being offensive, just telling the truth that may be uncomfortable or offensive.

  You are offensive: You are the worst

  You are a terrorist: Lets not hurt your feelings or anyone who shares your values

  Regressive indeed.

  Are we victims of abuse? Should we even think of ourselves that way?

  by nicolaou in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  abuse is such a serious word and i'd hate to use it lightly so if anyone reading this has suffered physical or sexual abuse please know that i absolutely do not equate religious abuse with your suffering.

  that being said, many of us were lied to and manipulated for decades.

  this cultic 'abuse' has borne fruit in shattered relationships, broken families and estranged children.

  It is an abusive organization, once we wake up though, I prefer to see myself as survivor instead of victim.

  The universe is indifferent. There is no good and evil forces, just people making choices. Most violence in this world stems from fear and hate which these days is often fueled by religion.
