https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2017-04-03/top-obama-adviser-sought-names-of-trump-associates-in-intel.

what can we make of this?

rice is on record being a racist and lying about benghazi, now this?

Let's see now.

Susan Rice quoted former FL governor and U.S. senator, Bob Graham, to the effect that national security personnel are "too White, male, and Yale."

Does this make her a racist?

If it does, then what does that make Bob Graham?

whatever happened to rotation? wt study to April two.

by waton in

with all the emphasis on hierarchical succession in that wt, , what ever happened to mentioning of the refreshing, liberating "rotating of positions" period, the time of great increase?

I remember the switch from WT study conductors.

The original conductor did such an excellent job that Witnesses would come from a neighboring state for the study.

Well, his replacement was so boring and inept that attendance dropped by one half.

It was simply painful to sit through it.

I am African-American, and I recall some of the taboos about menstruating girls and women that were insisted upon by The Ancestors.

For instance, we girls were not allowed to prepare meals during our periods.

That suited me quite fine!

LOL.

Thank you for the information

Test yourself...Which Religion Best Suits You, what non religion best suits you.

by Giordano in

since we have had so many joining up while others have changed their thinking it doesn't hurt to see where we stand now .. this 20 question test is not the definitive test but it may be revealing or affirming....... find out where your religious or nonreligious comfort range is.. i just took it and my #1 choice was that i was a secular humanist.

being a jw was #24........ way way down the list.. www.playbuzz.com/benjaminbirely10/which-religion-best-suits-you.

you start by clicking on the general statement that is closest to how you think.

Interesting take on John 3:16

by NikL in

the superstar of all scriptures.

for god so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.. .

but i just learned something about it.. i try to look at different translations of the bible and the lexham english bible words it a bit different.... 16 for in this way god loved the world, so that he gave his one and only son, in order that everyone who believes in him will not perish, but will have eternal life.
