Do You Get Easily Offended By What People Do or Don’t Do?

by minimus in

does using uncle ben’s food products offend you?.

are you offended if you see a flag?

what about a confederate flag?.

oppostate

I don't get easily upset about what ignorant people do or say.

But concerning the Confederate flag it's just one of those facepalm moments.

Confederate flags are like Nazi flags, they're symbols of politically charged statements.

Not recognizing what these symbols mean to the people who originally made them is the problem.

If you refuse to educate yourself about something you end up sounding ignorant in front of others.

Why do fanatical religionists from Iran, AlQaeda and Daesh like to burn the US flag? Because it has meaning for them. Flags have meaning. Symbols have meaning. I'd proudly wave The Ol'Stars and Stripes in their face to irritate the crap out of any Muslim fanatic!

To wave the Confederate Battle flag or the Nazi flag in front of me is an irritation to me because of the meaning these symbols convey.

People who wave the Confederate, Nazi or Daesh flag are all fanatical hateful people in my opinion.

The Site is Going Down!!!

by BereanThinker7 in

so i'm sure many of us here have used the site https://ad1914.com/, apparently the domain had expired.

this site was instrumental to my waking up.

i have been able to use it to direct others to as well since it had a large collection of matters dealing with the validity of the "gentile times" claim.

Magadan

by molybdenum in

it seems that g. jackson got confused during his presentation relating to jesus and his going to magadan.

( check out lloyd evans "magadangate") but the jw community seems very hesitant and quiet on this apparent "faux pas".

has anyone had any feedback from jw's that you know on this or are they just sweeping it under the carpet as being nothing of particular note?.

@jhine

They are going to make a film of the life of Jesus so they are trying to figure out when he said this or that so they can plan the scenes.

wt organizationthimk (last week's study)

by waton in

for those who want to see how bad it really is, 2 thoughts: .

1) the article says "jehovah" gave gifts in men, but the bible in gal: 6 clearly mentions the one who ascended into heaven as the one, jesus, their reigning king, that does provides these " the captives.. of course when wt writers say jehovah they really mean the wt society.

and local elders, ms, really are wt appointees, now done by the co, a man with no assets.

oppostate

according to the GB they are not inspired but they are guided by spirit, although they took that out of the baptismal questions

Anthony Morris depicts ex-members as ''Despicable Apostates''

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

here is one of the many commandments jesus instructed his twelve apostles to keep, follow, and obey!.

here is anthony morris ( supposedly selected by jehovah to keep, follow and obey the sayings of jesus ) name-calling and condemning enemies!

the pharisees used to label people as well.

oppostate

In the Spanish groups there's talk of many officially denouncing Tony's video as a hate crime which goes against human rights which are written in many countries' Constitutions.

Several YouTube activists have made videos of their denouncing Tony's video by filing official complaints according with their respective national laws.

Is that something that could happen in English speaking countries at the same level of involvement? Are our national laws as clear concerning human rights so that we could take measures to file against this hate video?
