That's why I think that you cannot be of sound mind if you think someone without any political experience would be perfect to be the President of the greatest country, especially when you add a moron like Trump to the mix. So surprising to see all the mental patients who wait on line at his rallies and actually think he's a good choice.

Trump: the Mary Decker of Politics
by Simon ini have never heard a politician whine like a little girl so much and claim everything to be "so unfair".. now he's trying to claim that a reporter may have been "coming at him with a bomb" (to justify his campaign manager attacking her) just because she had a pen, yes - a reporter had a pen.
and of course he's going to sue - anytime he's criticized or loses a primary he threatens a lawsuit over it.. "she had a pen in her hand, it could of been a bomb or just a pen - which can be dangerous".
yes mr trump, we know a female reporter writing about you if threatening.. in last nights town hall he claims *not* to have suggested suing her and seems to genuinely believe that saying something in a tweet isn't actually saying it.. on more serious and worrying subjects, he wants the us to pull out of nato and for every country in asia and the middle east to get nukes "because it's so unfair".. for someone who plays the tough guy all the time he comes across as incredibly insecure, and whines about how everything is unfair if anyone criticizes him but backs down with denials if pressed on something he has said (or claims it's "unfair" that he's been challenged).. if you don't know who mary decker is (maybe you're too young) she too represented the us and was an embarrassment on the world stage.

How many times have the GB been wrong?
by atomant inactually its quite amusing to observe the different reactions from within the org every time theres new light.how dumb does a person have to be to not realize its all a conjob.surely a thinking logical person would question all the changes over the years.lts almost like the blind leading the blind scenario.

I see we share the same birthday, but different year. Her show was my favorite when I was growing up. Her book was an eye opener about be bi-polar before people really knew what it was an how to treat it.

JW Hypocrisy Rears It's Ugly Head...As Usual
by babygirl30 inso about last night.... i am out at a local club (not restaurant, not event venue - a club) to see a rap concert.
now, i am with some friends minding my own business, and i find that i am standing right behind 3 active jw's - one of whom used to be my best friend.
this girl is as fake as they come: 1) she used to live with me and would bring non-jw guys home all the time, 2) was living with a man when she lived down south - until he dumped her, and then she decided to go back to jw's the 1st time and got reproved, and i supported her.

I would call and elder in the Hall and say that I"m confused about a certain issue, and read and/or send him her msg and ask him to explain why you were Df'd but this girl goes back and forth like a revolving door and nothing has happened to her.

Is it true: the memorial will stop after the last anointed have passed away?
by FinchAndWeston ini heard that the memorial will stop after the last anointed have passed away ... is this information true/false?
just curious.
it's secondhand.
-
ShirleyW
Well the last of the anointed should've passed away a long, long time ago, the numbers have gone up of the folks that are partaking. How does that happen?, those in the Cong who aren't wrapped too tight think that Almighty Jah spoke to them and said I want you to float up to heaven and be one of my chosen people.
They used to say something like the memorial will end or that's when the Big A will come decades ago, I'm a born-in so didn't really listen at the meetings, but I don't know how they currently flip-flop around that issue.

Why dont you go to the memorial?
by atomant inl guess we all have our own reasons and thought it would give insight to others considering going to reconsider and not go.

I haven't been to a meeting including the memorial since the 80's. My mother used to come home and brag that we had 'such and such" a huge number at the memorial, which I remember them having because the hall I used to go to along with the other cong that used to meet there used to rent out a school auditorium or gym for it. However, keeping in mind I haven't been to a meeting since the 80's and my mother passed in early 2006, I noticed that the bragging stopped, which was due to the lack of attendance, which either this site or Tishies site (which I used to follow before I found Simons site) pointed out. Even when they used to get the huge attendance numbers I asked where are these people during the rest of of the year? To which my mother gave the embarrassing answer of " oh, some of them come to the other meetings" which is an absolute lie. Never been to the Ministry School or even the Sunday meeting where people were wrapped along the walls or standing outside because there wasn't enough room. -

Prince memoir coming in fall 2017
by the girl next door inhttp://www.cnn.com/2016/03/20/entertainment/prince-memoir-thr-feat/index.html.
wonder how much he will talk about jehoober..
-
ShirleyW
I think someone posted about this the other day, I have to say I just don't get it with Prince, how folks think he's such a genius and all. He's not the first person on the planet to write and produce music and won't be the last. I personally think he's one sandwich short of picnic. How people totally idolize and fall over themselves because they're so in love with him is beyond me, but then again to each his own.

The memorial beauty pageant
by BlackWolf insince the memorial is coming up soon and its about time for me to go shopping for a new memorial ( aka easter) dress, i've realized what the memorial really is for us teenage girls, a beauty pageant!
the memorial is the day i spend painting my nails, curling my hair, and carefully applying makeup because my mother says i have to "represent jehovah" and look my best.
in reality its just to impress the newcomers and to compete with the other girls.

I remember when I was a kid, all the girls at school would talk about their new "Easter shoes and coat", my mom used to buy me the same but I noticed that they were purchased so they could be worn at the memorial, like all the other little girls my age in the congregation.
