if you are not sure they are not wrong.... you might not be ready to leave yet.

hello, i am in the beginning stages of a slow fade.
over the years i have become more and more dissatisfied with the beliefs, teachings, and organizational practices of the organization.
i no longer have faith in it.
if you are not sure they are not wrong.... you might not be ready to leave yet.
spend another 5 more years and reasses.
cities across america have been pillaged and destroyed these last few days.
a white policeman has been charged with murder of a black man.
protests have been organized across major us cities and horrible riots have occurred.
Many different groups of people all put into a basket!. Its's the coronavirus.. how does that sound? stupid?
Just because that is happening at the same time does not mean its the cause.. it might have contributed to the level of stress.
The protesters of police brutality... protest. some peacefully, some might be angry because they were mistreated
The angry people with primitive education... will react in a primitive manner. And this might be the trigger and their excuse to destroy.... is this the same group? not necessarily.. they might be out there with the rest.
Thieves... steal.. and this is a good opportunity for them to steal with less consequences (for them)
People with coronavirus... you bet there are out there in any of the groups
Anarchists? This is a good one. I read many people call them anarchists even regular news... a poor use of the word since there are many kinds of anarchism.... the majority of the people looting don't even know what that means... which in essence is the abolition of any hierarchical agency that is not necessary for the functioning of society... Ghandi, Tolstoy, Chomski, Thoreau all believed in some type of anarchism.
The protest is not about the George Floyd... that is the trigger... every person might have something different to protest.... what many people are tired of is the abuse of power from law enforcement....
Any interaction where a police officer goes above and beyond of what he is suppose to do is abuse of his power... a simple request for ID when there is no probable cause of any crime constitutes an abuse of power...
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.
then you havent lived long enough or travelled enough.
we live longer and in better conditions than 100, 200, 300 years ago.
people can protest and talk freely about their opinions the protests and means in many parts of the world.
this homicide that got many people outraged is not the first killing by abuse of power. but now we have cameras to record it and upload it for all to see.
from the peacefull netherlands i have a question about the current situation in the us.. is a civil war possible?.
g..
Possible? yes. Probable? No
And to the comment that US soldiers wouldn't kill their own country men..... This whole mess is because one US law enforcement officer slaughter another man from his own country.
worldwide numbers – 13%.
deaths: 359,791. recovered: 2,399,247. active cases 3,044,378. we need to throw out the active cases in our calculations, as we don’t know if those people will survive or die.
deaths + recovered is 2,759,038. deaths/deaths + recovered = death rate.. 359,791/2,759,038 = 13%.
That is a good formula to know the ratio of people who were tested and found had the virus vs the people who died and were labeled as COVID death.
However, that doesn't give the ratio of the REAL number of people infected vs the REAL number of people dying due to the virus.
the latest watchtower is now out and they make this statement -.
7 during the thousand year rule of christ, all of jehovah’s earthly children will have to make changes to please him.
so all of them will have true fellow feeling as they help the resurrected ones to combat sinful tendencies and to live by jehovah’s standards.
does it matter? any new light... tomorrow will be old light
so we binge-watched the waco mini-series on netflix.. wow, what a powerful and enlightening programme!
even if you think you know what happened, it gives you extra context to it all.
it's very well done even if you just want a great drama series, but it's way more than that.. there are of course some dramatization and slight historical inaccuracies for the purpose of story-telling but it was very informative.
is it me who thinks this.......jw pimi or pomi women lack natural affection toward there children, family and human's.. it must be the indoctrination that strips these emotions.
i see it in my wife all the time, when she talks with non jw people she is like "meh" i got to talk with you.. when she talks with jw people, she has a cult emotion like "yes my people" .
she is screwed in the head, the more that time goes by i want to leave her and get a divorce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
children? is the people they indoctrinate....until they loose the indoctrination

ATF only had jurisdiction for Firearm violations... and there were none. ATF could have arrested DK any day... they didn't. DK invited the ATF to go inside his house and check for themselves.. they refused.
The members that stayed were true believers but they were also free to go. They stayed inside defending their property and their freedom.
It was mass murder of American citizens in their own land and by their own government agencies.
But we were told a different story. They lied to us about the situation.
This misuse of power hasn't decreased. on the contrary. People are being treated more and more like subjects and slaves. Just look at the majority of traffic stops... Armed men start giving orders to free men and use violence if they people don't follow their instructions.
Exactly where is the land of the free when you need permission to act?
why wasn’t judah punished for sleeping withtamar?
even though she had the legal right to an offspring by his family he still thought he was sleeping with a prostitute.
if it is wrong to even think of having relations with a woman similar to the “sin” of watching pornography why wouldn’t what judah did be wrong?
two witnesses ruleWhy wasn’t Judah punished for sleeping withTamar?
