Nathan don't be an ass of course they exist. Most major newspapers in the UK have had an outline for the Queens obituary for years....doesn't mean they want her to die. They would have had a leader prepared for either win.

Election Post-Mortem
by Simon ini'm sure many people, republicans included, are shocked at the results of the 2016 presidential election.
really, wtf!.
the polls were wrong and although it's tempting to blame voter suppression and fbi interference, that would just avoid looking at the real issues for the loss.

Oh god Baker!!! that " Just around the corner" song is SO CRUEL. I thought it was a spoof at first, it's so absurd, but then I saw the WT " watermark" on the video and realized it was for real. It made me cry with sadness and anger...to squeeze these old folks for every penny they've got and every spare moment they have aside from work, all on the basis of a false promise to reunite them with their long dead young daughter. How cruel. But remember, one false step...get on the wrong side of the elders and that's it...you will never see your child again, even if you have served faithfully for 70 years...one ciggie and it's eternal death for even the kindest soul in the world.

Here's another Stevie Wonder song that once I woke up ,I saw the lyrics in a completely "New light."😋
They made me realise firstly how petty and unloving not having birthday celebrations for every single individual is. We are all unique and deserving of a special day to celebrate our lives, we are privileged to be alive and share that life with every person we know.
Secondly that there has been an awful lot of good people who have done so much for humanity. Not witnesses, or even Christians ( Ghandi etc), it's absurd to think, if there was a God, that he wouldn't resurrect them simply because they didn't obey a modern American publishing company. Crazy.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY by the incomparable
Stevie Wonder
You know it doesn't make much sense
There ought to be a law against
Anyone who takes offense
At a day in your celebration
Cause we all know in our minds
That there ought to be a time
That we can set aside
To show just how much we love you
And I'm sure you would agree
It couldn't fit more perfectly
Than to have a world party on the day you came to be
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
I just never understood
How a man who died for good
Could not have a day that would
Be set aside for his recognition
Because it should never be
Just because some cannot see
The dream as clear as he
that they should make it become an illusion
And we all know everything
That he stood for time will bring

Good story Esse quam videri, Bless him...sounds like he missed it. I knew an old elder who fought in the Mau Mau war ( Kenya in the 50s) . He used to reminisce all the time....told me the greatest danger were the baboons, they would hunt lone humans...fall from the trees above...he saw them tear a man limb from limb. They deleted him as an elder for alcoholism, he was always drunk but very red faced so unfortunately it was obvious. Nice guy. I think he suffered from PTSD.

Suspicious Attitude Toward Married Brothers...
by JW_Rogue inthis is kind of different but i just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this.
it seems that younger married brothers are viewed with a certain level of suspicion in the congregation.
it's like the elders can be friendly with everyone in the hall including younger sisters.

Schnell did your missis have to get baptised in order for you to marry?Or did you just leave and marry?
Anyway how absurd that two single adults cannot date. What business is it of theirs if they are not even family!😡makes my blood boil. They have nothing better to Do than make up rules and stick their noses in other people's business. They should shove off and volunteer in a shelter or something if they really want to do some good. Idiots.

I Think I have Found a Way to Litigate
by Simon Templar ini have been thinking about how the wtb&t society bullies all of its members into submission with the threats they use (by practice), i.e.
“if you do this we will df you and you will be shunned”.
“if you da yourself, we will make an announcement and your friends, relatives and family will abandon you”, etc.

Is it true that voting is now considered a "conscience" matter? If so it makes me wonder if the lawyers have advised them to make it so. To order otherwise would be contravening basic rights.
I studied law as an undergrad and whilst what you say makes a lot of sense, I worry that when it comes to shunning they will claim it's an individual's personal right TO shun others...or not "associate"(hate that word) with others if they choose to do so.They will insist they do not compel anyone. We know they do, of course. We understand "undue influence"....Will the law?What does anyone think?
