  so in my lunch break at work today i walked in the park, just chilling out when a woman approached and offered me a leaflet.

  didn't have to read it i knew straight away who she was.. me: my family are involved with jws.

  the new world was supposed to come in the mid-seventies but it didn't.

  Her reaction said it hit the emotional chinks in her spiritual armor. Good. I hope the dart works through her brain.

  I liked your video. You are clear, not scattered.

  You are on YouTube? This video should be if it is not already. I remembered that I could not quite give myself permission to come to this website at first but l would allow myself Youtube. (Weird l know— like blood fraction maths)

  Art and poetry-Good. And good luck.

  Bandicoot— Sexual assault occurs in all cultures, but only in Islam does it have divine sanction.

  Although I’ve heard this said frequently I have never seen it in writing from the Koran. Muslim women are not saying there are sacred texts to support their rape.

  The Muslim Pakistani groomers of these girls seem very like the illiterate Christian preacher l met years who astonished with the vague and disturbing grasp he had of women and the Bible.

  He had been raised on Foxes Book of Martyrs and hearsay. Of women he remembered only that “ The women will be kept safe through childbearing”. That was all. He came from a huge family.

  Since you answer Janice this way, can you direct me to the Quran or perhaps you only have quotes from ignorant people like these Pakistani men?

  This is important because just as conversation about Islam in parliament is needed so should we be able to ask what is spurious and what is actually there between ourselves, non-Muslims. Such questions should not cause us irritation. We need conversation.

  Luhe- If true that he pled guilty he will serve time. I am not a lawyer but it has happened in my state that the case was made that Arkansas could not protect the safety of its prisoners to such an extent that it violated their constitutional rights. ( it was seen as cruel and then usual punishment to be incarcerated in Arkansas in the late 60s through the 70s )The federal government provided oversight for 13 years in this state. Perhaps this approach could help Tommy (and others) who have no security in U.K. prisons.

  I would leave off indignation at his arrest . That looks like a waste of time. Get the records on the prisons records of insufficient staff and Tommy’s past experiences with incarceration. Concentrate on the very provable charge that the state cannot guarantee his safety.

  edit: On my previous post-sorry that first link on U.K. Prisons is a dead number. The second link is good

  To your point, Ruby, even if Tommy R were a thug or a brawler —the state is obliged to care and protect him while in custody.

  He plead guilty as charged. He was sentenced to prison. The state must keep him safe. Yet the situation of prisons in the U.K. makes their word untrustworthy. They presently cannot protect other men or their correctional officers. They are understaffed and overcrowded. Tommy poses special concerns. He was attacked during his last incarceration.

  Even though l am of the opinion that he made himself the flashpoint to no good purpose it would serve everyone best if his sentence could be served under house arrest. My opinion.

  https://rightsinfo.org/prevent-miscarriage-justice/

  There is a provision for journalists to interview prisoners to prevent miscarriages of Justice. What the matter addresses may not be relevant to Tommy Robinson. But considering what occurred when huge mass was in prison there may be a legal mind that can see this in his favor

  Is the Universe a Simulation?

  by Satanus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some german scientists have proposed experiements to test if the universe in which we live is a simulation.

  they think that they have the instruments necesary to be capable doing those tests.. 'this is no trivial pursuit: some of the greatest minds in history, from plato, to descartes, have pondered the possibility.

  though, none were able to offer proof that such an idea is even possible.

  A ridiculous thing I found in the old young people’s book

  by Addison0998 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it was in some book for young people that i found going through the watchtower library when i was doing research for old publications, i cannot believe this lunacy, i feel so bad for the teenagers at the time who had to try to take this seriously, but they’re not a high control religion or cult though, anyways here is is : .

  if you sleep in a room alone and you find that you seem to feel special stress in this direction at night, you may be able to arrange matters to share a room with another member of your family.

  also, you may find it helpful to sleep on your side rather than on your back or face down.. 18 another thing that may be helpful is to see to it that your clothing does not unnecessarily cause friction with the sexual organs.

  Amazing, right? Like a medieval rule book for monks or nuns. I was in that religion. Nuts.

  Humbled , Iv'e seen the work of Trevor Philips. A very smart and sensible man he uses good data to prove the issues he presents. Isn't he the one that introduced the word Islamophobia and now regrets it?

  Barry— yes he is. He is very strong in why the liberals approach to multiculturalism is a fail.

  His parents were immigrants and he maintains there is no way that assimilation can occur in this present situation. His essay is a long piece to read. I found it astonishing and blew my worktime on reading it through. No regrets though.;

  I called my daughter in NYC to tell her his grasp of the issues of insular populations, some marginalized but others simply walled off are a disaster within a country. What is encouraging is to read an unflinching estimate of the problem and what is at stake—but he has a thorough analysis and then steps to address the particulars. Bless Tommy for stirring things up ( maybe?) but Trevor Philips has thought beyond the rage and frustration.

  This ^^is less than 2 minutes. Gives you a taste of his reasonableness.

  His amazing essay: Race and Faith: the Deafening Silence
