it's hard enough for businesses to enter these areas the government once had to offer up tax breaks to service them.
in watts, california it took decades for city residents to get a grocery store after the thugs burned their businesses to the ground.
you can see the insanity taking place, when you allow mobs and fools to burn building down nothing good comes from it.
"In Ferguson local people identified that the ones destroying were not from Ferguson."
Did any of the looters in ferguson look like they had a job, could afford a car, even a bus ticket? Maybe those local people are the same who were looting. Or more denial of what and where the problems really lie? Many quotes and reports in Baltimore about "all the young people", and how they shouldn't be arrested or anything just sent home to go to school or work.

I'm sure all the looters and rioters have a long list several pages long of arrest records. The 'thugs' of this country have two agendas, 1. Thugs should be allowed to be dressed in thug attire and walk around nice middle and upper class areas or go into malls and areas they intend to rob with hoodies drawn up high without any trouble from police or guards and also able to attack, run away, or not ever be confronted or held accountable. Thugs are a gift to society and everybody should be happy to let them steal, rob, and do whatever they want. Thugs know many love them so when these riots break out, the riot police let themselves be attacked without stopping the thugs or arresting them because the riot police know the middle and upper class would also be upset if they defended themselves and some other thugs got hurt or possible died.
And 2. Deep down the thugs really don't care about their own, that's why each year tens of thousands of thugs killed other thugs vs about 100 by police (whether self defense, accidentally, or a rogue officer). But they love these situations to loot and destroy. They'll join in to see what they can steal without getting caught.
Too bad the police and government don't use these riots as an opportunity to round up all the criminals and leeches and send ship them out. Crime would drop by 80% in said areas.
for the past three years, my husband and i have been watching these sermons by remarkable worldwide speakers.
the biblical truths we have learnt from their presentations, in such a short period of time most definitely tip the scales compared to the truth the jw.org led me to believe i had for over 20 plus years of my life.
thanks to these videos, we have now found the truth and the truth is jesus christ (john 14:6).

a biology professor is speaking out, demanding an apology and calling for an end to attempts to perpetuate lies against evolution after a statement from him was taken out of context in a creationist article in awake!, a jehovahs witness publication.
he says that a portion of his statement was picked from the whole, leaving a completely different impression from his actual statement.. .
happy easter!
my husband and i who are former jws are starting a new bible discussion group on sundays @1pm, south of boston.
we will begin the group on sunday may 3rd.
from so many posts and conversations on here, you'd think over 1/2 the posters here possess doctorates in theology, physics, biology, etc.
i'm curious aside from the books and research people have done here, what degrees they have.
to start, i just got an aa and going straight through full time to an mba.

To start, I just got an AA and going straight through full time to an MBA. (Masters Business Administration) Classes in my AA related to many conversation topics would be World Religion, Astronomy, and Biology as part of the general education requirements.
the science is in: god is the answer.
research shows kids raised with spirituality are happier and healthier in the vulnerable teen years.
why arent we all signing up?.
I didn't read anything because I have to leave now but besides marking this, I know it's partly true. I recently read some studies comparing 'spiritual' people and yoga/monks. They did brain scan studies, etc.
Meditation, relaxation, etc, has many good effects. Stress and worry does kill people and lead to heart conditions etc.
Here is where religion can help and can not help.
PRO: Comfort, loved ones death, if life situation is depressing then hope, etc. Esp if living in extreme poverty and no way out of it.
CON: If like with JW religion, constant worry, depression, etc.
Anyway I'll read the post later and reply.
why didn't jesus ever write anything?
why are there no letters to jesus?
no painting of jesus from that time?

The names of his disciples are not those found the Bible. He was killed by the Sanhedrin, not the Romans, contrary to the Bible. He was killed for religious crimes, not the the crime of sedition as recorded in the Bible.
So, the ONLY similarities are Jesus, Jewish and some disciples. More details, major details, differ than agree. Maybe it is talking about the same man, but it is certainly largely disagreeing with the Bible on most major points.
This is all about a historical Jesus, not about the accuracy of the bible as we have it today. But whether there was a real historical Jesus. As for who killed him, the Romans may have carried out the deed, but it was the Sanhedrin who ordered it. Unless you can find any historical documents talking about a man like Jesus that ALL jews embraced and that none of them were calling for him to be put to death, but that the Romans themselves did this, then it stands it really was the Jews responsible for it. Even the ancient contemporary scholars as my previous posts show they believed that as well.

First, he never said "crucified", so attempting to associate "crucified" with "executed" is disingenuous at best. Secondly, Jesus was crucified by the Romans, not Jews. Third, he NEVER mentions Jesus. You saying he does is completely untrue.
I fixed crucified before you had replied, but yes he said murdered. Now as for the Romans killing him, the Romans were an instrument. Who called for this death? The Romans didn't just grab Jesus and kill him on their own, it was the religious leaders of the Jews who coerced Pilate into doing it. Pilate washed his hands and obviously scholars of that time put it on Jews.
IF the 'wise king' who the Jews murdered, then their city was ABOLISHED shortly after, was not Jesus, then who was it? Was socrates a figment of the imagination? Mara is asserting that the destruction of Jerusalem in 70AD happened not too long after the murder of the Wise King of the Jews. As he did disasters that befell those who killed Socrates. So if it's not Jesus, who else fits the bill?
