  KGB Agent explains Ideological warfare: Destroy A Nation From The Inside Out

  by Diogenesister in

  2. current

  former kgb agent yuri mesmenov explains the concept of ideological warfare.

  or how to destroy a nation from the inside out - by demoralising them within 20 years.. why 20 years?

  because it takes 20 years to educate one generation of students that despite an abundance of information to the contrary, they are unable to come to a sensible conclusion in the best interests of their family, their community and their country and instead embrace the ideology of the enemy.

  I can't believe he's still claiming he's undertaking a criminal prosecution of the magnificent 7 (interesting he himself references them as that, too!!!) Surely the court has just dropped it? They're not going to hear a case outside their jurisdiction.

  The (Shunned) Woman at the Well

  by Sea Breeze in

  2. bible

  i always found the account of the "woman at the well" to be particulary interesting.

  this unknown shunned woman of ill-repute was specifically sought out and chosen by jesus.

  why?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=el7dzonv3iy&ab_channel=michaelpapale.

  I've watched this video a number of times previously. I can't stop the tears that flow every time I see this woman liberated by Christ. Because you see, that was me,

  I have to say, I cry too. I feel like if any story speaks to me in the NT, it's this one. I never, ever felt worthy of being a Christian. I *literally* couldn't lift up my eyes for shame. (Not just down to the Jobots inc. I come from a very shame based family)

  In knew a brother named Marion. The female version is Marian. 🤷‍♀️

  Yes Marion is a polish name.

  I believe there's only one female lawyer listed so Jody's male, I agree. Stan I bet you're right they got surnames back to front.

  There'll definitely be nu light over female MS or there'll create some other version of Diakonos or Deacon (Phoebe)

  Jesus 2nd Coming

  2. beliefs

  full disclosure, i am an atheist/slight agnostic and really don't believe in god/s.. however, i do find solace in a good evensong at the cathedral.

  because one of my kids came with me, it has inspired him to become a christian and hence got baptised in a uk high church (anglican cum catholic hybrid).. so, i take him to visit different places eg, ely cathedral.

  he likes me to accompany him to his new church.

  Dodgy Knees - I attended a mini service there. I'm not familiar with the Tribe.

  😂Sorry I meant "the tribe" as in our tribe...the British/Commonwealth tribe. We are Anglican firstly, but also western Christian culture influenced etc. etc

  I also agree with LUHE. I've taken my kids to and taught them Christian ideas because it's part of their history. I also can't talk about freedom of thought and belief if I don't expose them to beliefs other than my own. I didn't want anger at my former religion to colour their view of Christianity in general.

  Your son sounds like a wonderful young man (relieved you're happy together despite everything that happened when you left jobots inc.)

  Taking after Lett... more money going out than coming in. "Things are bad" in Lloyd Land

  by iloowy.goowy in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  lloyd published a video, "things are bad," pretty much along the lines of lett's appeal for more money.. he'll have to let go tbo who does his editing, if he doesn't get more sponsor money.

  he even mentions dijana.

  he claims the defamation has hurt his family.. but he says the defamation suits are still ongoing and will take maybe years since it caused great harm to his channel saying that due to the defamation hundreds of his supporters dropped off because the defamation gave them the impression that he was someone he isn't and that led supporters to think he was misleading them somehow.. you can watch if you can sit through it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5hinrjexm4.

  Chevelle I was a fan until he started selling T-Shirts. Then I just tuned out.

  Have you seen the one Lloyd flogs of The Watch "more coming in than going out" Tower promising never to beg for Dosh?

  Hi Punky.

  I too love Ely Cathedral & I've left many a candle there for people. I especially love the Lady chapel. I enjoy listening to Kings Choir when I can make it. I also attend for the Tribe :) & love anything to do with Jesus - I don't pretend to understand all that revelation end of days stuff, but it makes for a good yarn☺️

  I once knew a gentleman from Trinidad named Vivian.

  Yes but Vivian is a fairly common boys name. Especially the older generation. Remember the famous cricketer Viv Richards? Betty & Jody, as far as I know, are not ever boys names. This 0.2% recorded as male are probably mistakes in spelling a foreign name.

  I'm going to put money on Betty and Jody being lawyers. They have female lawyers recorded as members of one of Watchtower's executive branches, presently the only women they list.
  

  nother possibility that maybe they looked more like girls when they were born, thus causing the doctor and the parents to think the newborn baby was a girl. For example, maybe their testes had not yet descended.

  Even when testes are undescended in infancy, you still see the scrotum, so there's no confusion as to baby's sex.
