we're currently watching leah remini's series about scientology and the main thing she seems to focus on is the shunning policies of the scientology organization which let's face it are very similar to jw procedure.. i was wondering with all that's in the media recently about bullying could a petition be put together to get the goverment to consider making religiously mandated shunning illegal?
has such a thing been tried before?.
https://petition.parliament.uk/help says the following - .
You can't force people to speak
What might make more sense, is to hold religious (charity/non-profit) organizations responsible for promoting what amounts to a human rights problem. Then penalize them with threatening their "religion" status.
You practice systematic shunning, bye bye tax exemption. That's as far as I would go, making things illegal and banning them never makes sense.
i heard recently that there was a talk given at the kh about having a 'go bag' ready because the big 'a' must be soooo close as evidenced by syria and the russian jobo thing.. does anyone know if this 'go bag' thing is substantiated in publications or just a local nut job being paranoid and attention seeking?.
i also wonder about this 'go bag' thing, apparently, you need to make sure your biscuits (that's cookies to my over the pond friends), are not out of date.
don't carry water, it's too heavy.. too many questions do i have.
My go bag is mostly guns and bullets (not watchtower approved)
this is the kind of government you are supporting.. over 100 gay men have been sent to concentration camps for homosexuals in chechnya and three people have been killed.. stop supporting fascism.. if you support the russia jw ban, what other thoughts and beliefs are you ok with policing?.
if you support the jw russia ban, have you read george orwell's 1984?
don't you realize you are advocating for literal fascism when you support the banning of a belief system?
As soon as one group is banned, no matter how we disagree with their views, it leaves the door open to banning something we feel is important
I agree. The light sterilizes this type of shit. Banning it only pushes it further I to the shadows. Let people think their crazy shit but put it out in the light of criticism.

Banning reinforces their persecution complex and pushed victims in further.
Which do you think would help more victims escape watchtower? Russian ban? Or ARC coverage? If you really do care about the victims and not just hating the org, you want exposure not ban.

Getting ban crazy is the slippery utopian slope of the SJW. Eventually, everyone and everything will be banned. Once it begins, no one is safe. Bans don't fix or stop shit EVER. Exposure and criticism are far more effective.

People love BANS these days when it involves something they don't like. Bans are not the answers to most problems. There is a new embracing of fascist ideas simply because they believe it will alleviate something the individual or group doesn't like. I do believe JWS are hypocrites for speaking out against it since they practice "banning" of dissenters, but Russia is totally in the wrong and the ban is bad.

This place has become quite radicalised hasn't it? It's ironic when you think about it...
So people criticizing a blood thirsty death cult are more radical than people in said blood thirsty cult?... That is the stupidest f-cking thing I've heard in ages. Congratulations.
Do you also believe exjws who criticize watchtower are mentally diseased? Wtf..

They may as well just keep the lights on the Eiffel tower off, this is the weekly norm now in Europe
pesident trump authorized the missile strike because “it is in the vital, national security interest of the united states to prevent and deter the use of deadly chemical weapons.” .
59 tomahawk missiles were launched from two us navy ships.. russia has condemned the action.. https://youtu.be/4svp3yfneyq.
.
This would have been far more effective if done with the joint cooperation of other nations, sending the message that the whole world will respond to atrocities.
Agreed. This U.S. being the world's police force has to end.
Sort of blows this leftists nonsense conspiracy theory away though.

Nobody has been more accommodating to Muslims, and still, this happens...
This new norm is sickening, and anyone saying it's not about religion is part of the problem
