  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.

  I don't like her abusing her royal perogative to overrule a high court ruling giving the Chagossians the right to return. As for the Privileged English who want to get rid of the monarchy; it's not just your decision, but the collective decision of the Royal Realms of the Commonwealth, if you don't like that, consider it payback for colonialism. After leaving the European Union, the Commonwealth is all you've got don't blow it!

  Need Help fleeing my country

  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.

  The real dividing line isn’t between apostates and apologists it’s between...

  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.

  In other words, Magnum, a householder versed in Classical languages isn't worth their time and will only create confusion if ever given the mic. Not too many Arab Greek Orthodox Israelis become JWs if that's the case.

  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.

  Not JW related, but should the electoral college be abolished?

  by Billzfan23 in

  1. jw

  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.

  The Truth about the bible

  by TTWSYF in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  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].

  Stop the partisan bickering, elect Andrew Yang in 2020 and get your $1000/mo. Citizen's Dividend. Who doesn't want $1000/mo. tax free?

  if you are a true believer, then you are toast.

  because you will be a slave to everything the watchtower, circuit overseers, elders, pioneers, imply.

  believe me, there are not many true believers anymore, and the majority of them are old.

  Nearly 500 migrant children taken from parents -- that's nothing compared to JW disfellowshipping

  by FatFreek 2005 in

  several months ago the news was intense about the hundreds of families broken apart by u.s. immigration.

  many children were sometimes separated by their parents, sometimes for weeks at a time.

  "still separated: nearly 500 migrant children taken from their parents remain in u.s. custody” aug 31, washington post.

  This touches on what a Russian Orthodox Priest assessed of the JWs and why they deserve to be persecuted; to paraphrase him, 'they combine the worst heresies confronted by the early church with life under a totalitarian Communist regime.'

  That said, IMHO a Government should never crack down on a church or cult beyond liquidating its assets. Go beyond that and you give its followers the honor of martyrdom.
