so i use to go this hall that was basically 100 percent white and basically anyone under the age of 40 has either faded or makes a token effort to keep the peace at home, of course outside of the usual dregs of society .
the hall went from two congs to one and i was quite happy that in ten years they would be lights out.
then in the last two years about six young filipino families have moved in and three of them are newly baptized .
Maybe you're subconsciously replacing one prejudice (against the worldly) for another one (against people from countries you know little about.)
The largest natively Filipino denomination, the Iglesia Ni Cristo is a huge non-trinitarian church with at one point millions of members that has been rocked by scandal after scandal over the past quarter century, leaving a spiritual and social void that the JWs are only too eager to fill.
i am so sick of this cult, this religion has such a grip on her.
since i left in 2014, things just are getting progressively worse.
and she it's just getting deeper and deeper.
Take a vacation if you can afford it. Enjoy your hobbies with no shame. If she prioritizes service and fellowship over you, then find ways to enjoy yourself. If she projects and accuses you of being selfish, tell her she has eternity while all you have is this life.
the craziness of first-past-the-post elections .... we'll no doubt have to now live through the scotts demanding another referendum, because we may take their lands, but we will never take their freedom!
and so they want to be free of the uk, where they have a disproportionate influence in parliament, and be a little dot that's part of the eu.
yup, freedom.. but anyway, as it stands right now they have 48 seats after getting 1.2m votes.
something about the angelus order reminds me of the jehovah's witnesses but i can't put my finger on any one thing..

at 95 , queen elizabeth is one sharp lady.
she lauded those people that helped break up a terrorist attack.
she didn’t take any crap from prince andrew and told him to take a hike.
don't be startled by the title of this thread.
heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts.. in planning for my escape from the borg, i've come to the sad realization that the best thing for me to do considering factors like: breaking my parents and siblings hearts, lack of support groups, lack of counseling groups for cult survivors, and the prospect of finding a mate who shares my secular views on life, i've come to the realization that i need to leave my country and even my continent africa.
i know i sound desperate, but what can a brother do when all he can do is cry out for help or die in silence.
Learn Spanish. Argentina and Paraguay are easy places to emigrate to with economies that are okay.
excellent observation from zizek about communist regimes: they didn’t care if people accepted the ideology or took it seriously, so long as people acted as if the ideology was true, that was the important thing.
in fact the regimes were deeply suspicious people who took the ideology too seriously.
people who took the ideology seriously were dangerous because they were prone to noticing the inconsistencies and flaws in the system.
after seeing the atrocity in new zealand, do you think white nationalism is a major issue affecting you or where you live?.
somebody already called out chelseaclinton, blaming her for the attack!

I want the alt-right to repatriate to Europe. I get it, they want their grandchildren to look like them. Hopefully Andrew Yang will become president, and then they can collect their citizens' dividends as expatriate/repatriates in a paradise full of blondes like Belarus. Just get the hell out of America.
elizabeth warren, alexandria ocasio cortez, and other democrats are openly expressing interest (and in come cases, campaign promises) that the electoral college has to go.
i disagree for a few reasons.
first, the 25 states (out of 50, so 50%) with the smallest populations only get 21% of the electoral college votes (in our current system, today).
If you want the Texas and California independence movements to only get stronger, do absolutely nothing about the electoral college.
it really is common sense, but nobody here seems to recognize or acknowledge this blatant and obvious truth.. the holy bible is the result of the catholic liturgy.
they used these scriptures in their religious practices and confirmed which books would and would not be part of their cannon.
they picked, preserved and promoted these books and gave 'the word of god' to the world.. i know that pisses off some folks, but it is the truth [not the 'truth'tm].
I hold the Ethiopian Tewahedo Orthodox Canon which includes books like Enoch, Jubilees, and the Testaments of Adam and Eve.
