  GB asks every JW to give Putin their home address

  by MrHappy in

  jw's around the globe have been encouraged to write letters to putin and the russian government.

  they are expected to give their personal details on the envelope.

  i appreciate that this might be normal when writing to your own government if they are tolerant, but is this not a bit strange that the gb want to give putin the address of every jw in the world?

  It's not about fear, it's about getting pissed off. I think many people are not paralyzed cowering in their homes, but they need to get f-cking pissed off! This crap in Europe is getting more frequent and dare I say normal. GET MAD.

  Sadiq Kahn suggesting terrorist attacks are “part and parcel” of living in a big city is normalizing it. Don't be afraid, be mad. It's our new PC culture that is allowing this to spread.

  cnn has the highest rated accuracy level out of any cable network.

  okay, so that's not setting the bar very high.

  but i see people on this forum bashing cnn ad nauseam.

  LUHE

  In that same article is says:

  As we have said in the past, be cautious about using the scorecards to draw broad conclusions. We use our news judgment to pick the facts we’re going to check, so we certainly don’t fact-check everything. And we don’t fact-check the five network groups evenly.

  It also says

  And as for CNN? It has the best record among the cable networks, as 80 percent of of the claims we’ve rated are Half True or better.

  so yea, lol

  Atheism = self defeating.

  atheism = self defeating.

  first may we define our terms.

  the word atheism comes literally from the greek, alpha the negative and theos [for god], therefore “negative god” or there is no god.

  Metaphysics = beyond physics.

  Cute

  Metaphysics may have the word “physics” in it, but more important is the word “meta”. Metaphysics is a branch of philosophy, physics is applying math to the real world. Physics has real world applications, metaphysics is speculation. When we treat speculation like it’s science, we create pseudoscience and confusion ensues.

  I find something interesting, I see a lot of messages saying things like "we are defiant". And a lot of inspirational quotes about being unaffected by this sort of thing. Is this starting to become a joke? Do you think ISIS or any brain damaged islamists is saying

  "rats, it didn't work, look they are sharing inspiring quotes that they don't care"

  And what the hell are you defiant against? Hateful scumbags in your own country? It's your god damn country, not theirs. I get the spirit of it, but it sounds silly. "Defiant".

  I don't know, just struck me. This whole watch me go about my day unaffected mentality I don't think is sticking it to the terrorists the way people on twitter and the so on think it is.

  The first metaphysical cause is God.

  1 god? 2 gods? Millions of gods? what about a computer program? Ancient transdimensional aliens? Where do you put the goal post for "God"? How would you define "God"? Was the big bang caused by dimensional membranes of a multiverse bumping into each other?

  The cause of the Big Bang is metaphysical.

  If you can prove this, you will be the most famous, rich, popular person in the universe! Please provide the evidence

  JW's Should Be Banned!

  by mr_doubtful in

  i'm all for religious freedoms.

  i am not for a religious organization demanding freedoms from the government that they in turn take away from their own members.

  why should the organization get religious freedom when they take that very thing away from it's members?.

  Banned is pretty harsh. Any pseudo-religion (JWS, Scientology, etc), or established religion (Islam) that violates member rights of freedom of religion, should lose their "religion" status. They should receive no benefits as a religious group or charity, they should be taxed into non-existence.

  I agree with your reasons why 100% but a ban is too totalitarian. Freedom of speech is more important, but they should be held accountable for being shit-weasels in some way.

  God is the First Cause.

  why?

  Sorry if you were being sarcastic and I didn't catch it lol

  You can have 1 single factual story, on the one hand, a CNN will give selected details, then give you the narrative approved opinion that is unquestionable from their standpoint. The same story will be presented by the opposite end of the idiot spectrum, FOX, they will also give selected details and weave their narrative. Did either lie? Well the details they gave about the stories were true, granted each omitted certain aspects, and the opinion is just that, not fact or fiction, just... opinion.

  The reason this whole "fake news" fiasco exists, is mainstream media stopped being reporting, it's now

  1. Propaganda
  2. Entertainment

  There is news out there that reports the WHOLE story without forced narrative opinion. It's just not coming from the major networks.

  I trash CNN more than Fox because Fox always has been a farce to me, but CNN is leading the charge in turning sound, liberals into the wacky left we see running things today. I hate them BECAUSE so many people feel they are decent solely for the reason they hate Trump so much.

  Think for yourselves
