  My vote is with Bernie Sanders.

  Social Democrats believe in democracy and distrust rampant abusive forms of capitalism. They are for the welfare of society and the social order under a truly democratic system. What we have in the U.S. is not a true democracy, it is a federalist republic with few restraints on capitalist ideals at the expense of folk's well-being and freedom from greedy corporations and business magnates' control. Trump would turn the U.S. into a third world country. Sanders would approximate the nation to the high standard of living enjoyed by a lot of social democracies in Europe.

  the older children were not spoiled - he made time for them when they needed him, even at 5 on the phone, he would stop the board meetings to talk with the kids

  Would Trump put up with any of his underlings stoping a board meeting to talk with their kids? He'd be spouting his favorite phrase "You're fired!" faster than a blink.

  I can't understand how anyone would trust such a megalomaniac.

  Building layoffs & JW calendar 2016 theme

  the theme of the jw calendar 2016 is building, building, building.

  all the calendar pictures are about building wts property with cheap labor witnesses.. and then, just before the year approaches the building has halted.. it seems a short term decision.

  a strange correlation again.. gorby.

  On average, 1,187 additional Kingdom Halls are needed
  each year to keep
  up with current organizational growth.

  I was left scratching my head at that bit as well, slimboyfat.

  If on average every KH held about 70 Witnesses that would be a total of 83,090 new JW's.

  And with the merging that's been going on around my area for the past few years, there's no way that an "additional" high number like that would be conceivable. They call them "additional" and not replacements--No way!

  What used to really get under my skin were the pictures of young shapely babes in construction outfits sporting ponytail hair styles and looking yummy. I think they do this on purpose to keep males in the org, the promise of sex and marriage for geeks even

  I know what you mean. Just look at the "shapely babes" at the Dedza Assembly Hall construction site. Sadly Assembly Hall construction everywhere has been halted. But that means these "shapely babes" will have more time to get acquainted with interested suitors, so there's a plus right there.

  

  Oh, by the way those tiny brick fences are not fences, they're the rows of seats, yup, those ARE the seats!

  Why does Antoine Leiris' powerful tribute to his wife, killed by ISIS in the Paris attacks, bother me so much?

  here is the translation of monsieur leiris' words;.

  friday night, you took an exceptional life - the love of my life, the mother of my son - but you will not have my hatred.

  i don't know who you are and i don't want to know, you are dead souls.

  He is a better man than I am. All I have for these inhuman, murderous Mohammedans is disgust and loathing.

  the french pm used the word daesh to name the people that used to be called is etc .

  daesh is a play on words to mean a bigot who imposes his views on others.

  @tgnd: It's pronounced "Dah-eesh" as in the first part of "Die shameless murderous scum!" but without the "aimless murderous scum!" part.

  The Islamic State's bigshots have made it a law, in the lands they control, that any one who calls the Islamic State by the name "Daesh" (which is an acronym in arabic letters for "Islamic State" just like we use "IS") shall be beheaded.

  Do to this I often refer to IS/ISIL/ISIS as "Daesh" and enjoy the fact that the verminous pestilence of the Islamic State's murdering bigshot filth hate knowing they're called by an acronym.

  Daesh, the Islamic State, is nothing but the sh¡t of pigs on the lands of the Levant!
  Their supporters are but flies that eat that sh¡t and regurgitate their foul propaganda!

  I posted a rant against the meme on my facebook page. Then posted replies with the photos of Chilean KH's displaying flags and how this is ok with the GB and the Chilean branch. And finished it off with a half dozen photos of JW.0rg flags on display and with silly Witnesses waving them. I think I made my point clear. The JW religion is filled with hypocrites from the top down, bunch of pharisees!
