  according to history, now only a reichstag fire is needed to eliminate democracy.

  it is very likely that this will happen.. g..

  This is a plausible scenario.
  - weaken the institutions
  - weaken the media
  - put people against each other
  - create social unrest
  - never waist a pendemic
  - create a shocking event (like the Berlin Reichstag fire)
  - declare the general state of emergency

  - postpone the elections

  - arrest your political oponents
  - use show processes (possibly via social media)
  
  It's all about the atmosphere. The basis is already there. It takes little effort to complete the scenario. It has happened before, and you understand it, if you immersed yourself in history.

  G. turned down by moving to an other city and stay under the radar then.

  Remember I knew it was my last part at the congregation meeting and never felt better! I walked from the podium to my chair with a big, happy smile.

  for the first time in my life, i have to admit that the world is rapidly deteriorating.

  first i saw a decline in democracy worldwide.

  elections were a tough battle every time, unfair too.

  @1/2 banana, i'm not low, but see things that are not right at the moment.

  @anders I agree. I think, we, in Holland have an other perception about the events than our US friends here.

  For the first time in my life, i have to admit that the world is rapidly deteriorating. First I saw a decline in democracy worldwide. Elections were a tough battle every time, unfair too. International cooperation came under pressure and was discontinued. Pude, democratic alliances were thrown into the dirt. Incomprehensible cooperation with dictators was accepted. A terrible pandemic broke out, and the law of the strongest proved to be the solution. People turned out not to be worth that much. This led to frustration, and the flame went into the pan. The fire is flaring up in the cities. The authorities encourage counter-violence through social media. The old white man power was not a solution any more. Were will this lead to is my big question. 1 Corinthians 7:31 - for the scene of this world is changing.

  Thanks for the comments.

  2+2=5, i don's see the Eurooe connection, but that can be my bias.

  What I see is much current problems in the US, the country I love so much.

  I hope it will end up in a good scenario.

  Voting and JWs

  2. friends

  with the upcoming elections, the campaigns and political rhetoric are ramping up.

  (ramping up is an understatement lol) .

  i remember a few years ago, gb member brother herd mentioned during one of his talks that several witnesses were either reproved or disfellowshipped for voting for a certain presidential candidate who won...twice.

  1. And in the mid 90s there was a WT article, about "voting is a matter of conscience."

  it’s always been 10 hours when door to door was active.

  i’m curious of how it’s changed with only letter writing and phone witnessing approved.. i’m curious if they are able to do it for 3 hours like a typical door to door morning.

  i would be surprised.

  I think you could be surprised, that the hours went massive up.

  Jw's find their own way to dress the window.

  "Never been so busy" as they say.

  many of them came down to have relations with women.

  does that mean there are male angels?

  if there are male and female, what makes them that with no physical body?
