  For those who accept the concept of "Race"

  by TD in

  --i personally don't, but it appears that many here unhesitatingly do.. for those that do, i'm honestly curious why you do.

  is there a rational basis for the acceptance of the concept of "race" that can be tested?.

  for example, here are eight people from eight ethnic groups.

  You know if everyone was blind to race or this so called "concept" of race I'd say cool, no problem, I'm right there with you, my friends are a cross section of all those pictures above. Unfortunately I still hear jokes, hateful remarks, etc, often enough to know that this is still an issue. I wish it weren't. I'm caucasion, so they weren't aimed at me, but the problem of hatefulness against classes of people seems to be getting worse, not better. I don't know what that is. It isn't all about race, either. Some of the most hateful things I hear are aimed at gays.

  Oh this is hilarious. Not only the normal lack of sentance structure and spelling deficit disorder, but this one thinks he runs the site.

  I'm going to make popcorn and sit back and watch!

  "I love you man!" - as he hugs everyone.

  as a newbie here, only having discovered this site a few days ago, i wanted to share with you my early observations and impressions.. being out of touch with the witnesses the last 13 years, i didn't realize sites like this existed.. my thinking was all apostate sites were places of doctrinal discussions on the trinity, hellfire, etc... with bitter x-jw's ranting 24/7.

  so i was never excited about allowing more controversy to my life nor visiting such sites.. this is different.. what i'm noticing is that most here seem to be well versed in witness doctrine, much more so than the visiting jw's.

  perhaps there is a protection for the wts in keeping people ignorant?.

  I'm with flipper, I have peace knowing that it's just simply not true. After I saw the elders for the shams they are, and the organization for the sham it is, all of the rest of it just fell apart. Just like in the movie, "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" should be the motto for the WTBTS. Also my faith, different brand than most on this site, but all the same it sustains me, grounds me, and gives me peace.

  I see this attitude all the time by this generation. They think they are teflon coated and immortal, they think they are entitled to everything right now, and they aren't afraid to be confrontational and mean to get it. They are bullies. She's no different than what I see every day from neighbors, on the commuter train, and around town.

  Having said that, yes, she should be accountable for it. Someone has to show her and any others like her, that there is accountability for your actions. I call it karma, you call it what you will.
