  Another School Shooting: The Gun Violence/Mental Illness Debate Continues

  by jp1692 in

  in the aftermath of the valentine's day school shooting in florida, i have read quite a number of articles, blogs and posts about the event.

  it is disturbing--and i think inexcusable--that many people take the opportunity to use horrible tragedies such as this to push their own particular agenda.. in particularly insensitive and tone-deaf tweet, conservative political commentator tomi lahren wrote: "can the left let the families grieve for even 24 hours before they push their anti-gun and anti-gunowner agenda?

  my goodness.

  The problem is that it is hard to identify who is going to carry out these attacks. Often the people who have the most insight are part of the problem (parents or guardians). If you ban anyone who is on anxiety meds or antidepressants from owning a gun, then this will be fought in court as discrimination. To monitor every kid who makes a threat on social media is beyond the realm of possibility. Maybe as a culture we simply have a problem.

  by Freedom rocks in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  has anyone found that since leaving the borg that their tastes have changed in what they find attractive in the opposite sex?

  beards, long hair, tattoo's, etc).

  i don't now if it's just my taste changing as i get older or if it's coz beards were frowned upon by the society that i find them attractive now and didn't when i was younger 😊.

  You can do ecommerce using wordpress you just need to install a few plugins and get the right theme set up. If you want an all in one solution then I would use Shopify. Another option you could try is setting up a store on Facebook, it's free and all you need is a PayPal account.

  How the Governing Body breaks people

  by krismalone in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  we all have likely heard the expression "to break a person" and usually it's in relation to kidnappers, bullies, pimps, human traffickers and cult leaders.. when a person is broken, their spirit, goals, aspirations, pursuits, self esteem, critical thinking and dreams are taken away.

  what fills that vacuum is despair, depression, low self esteem, lack of self confidence and individuality.

  the victim now believes that they are not worthy of enjoying life and following their dreams and personal satisfaction through personal achievements.

  I think born ins are broken down as well it is just harder to recognize because it is done when you are a kid. By the time you're a teen you may feel like there is no other path for you except the WT approved one. I do remember being told how special we were and privileged to be born into the only "true" religion. Of course that also came with expectations and shame if they weren't met.

  Hollow earth

  by Jrjw in

  2. scandals

  i thought the flat earth conspiracy theory was strange but ive just read an article about a new conspiracy theory that the earth is hollow and that its a paradise there and 8 foot tall intellectually advanced aliens live there who send space ships out every so often to check on mankind.

  apparently lost viking colonies and nazis that fled there after world war 2 are living there immortally 🤣🤣 .

  this world just gets better and better 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

  Watchtower Rebranding

  by Fred Franztone in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the wtbts has finally decided to join the rest of us in the 21st century and has begun rebranding.

  they've dropped the iconic watchtower sign from their heaquarters, and it's only a matter of time till they drop the now embarrassing watchtower name completely; a name synonymous with failure on the one hand and concentration camps on the other.. the organisation will soon be known solely as jw.org, bringing them right up-to-date with the web 2.0 revolution of 15 years ago, and making them the only company still to use a full web address as their main identifier, very forward-thinking of them.. it's inevitable that they'll gradually rebrand everything.

  what methods do you think they'll go with?

  I don't think they will go with JWs as an official moniker. Look at the renaming of the kingdom ministry, now it is the "Christian Life and Ministry" meeting. Going mainstream will require more of an emphasis on being Christians, so maybe they go with something like "Christian Witnesses of Jehovah," or something similar.

  The 101 ways to use a Troll

  by days of future passed in

  1. social
  2. humour

  after being around for a few years reading, then posting - i've realized the usefulness of trolls.

  for 1. they expose what type of person they are.. 2. trolls are very good once you roast them.

  many are not able to march up to the wt and give them a piece of our mind.

  Cong accounts analysis?

  by Farmer Jim1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  anyone on here an ex accounts servant?

  i’d be interested in a projection of what percentage of contributions come from elderly jw’s.

  i.e, money that will be diminishing over next 5 or 10 years as these ones pass on.. i estimate that in one of my previous congs 50% of the contribution totals of approximately £400 each month were being made by the over 70’s demographic.. within the other 50% were pioneers and low paid workers who put in regular but small amounts.. i guess when the accountants ring the alarm bells you start cutting the biggest costs; full time servants, buildings, printed literature.

  Yes, but when they passed on they may leave WT large sums that can generate interest for a long time
