  great discussion, well worth watching.

  covers racism, the bubble that some people live in vs the reality that resulted in trumps election and more (and jws get a mention too).. the rubin report (and many of the guests he has on) repeatedly knock it out of the park with sensible, calm and important analysis and commentary on important issues to our society.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-feapcgxnyy.

  3 male passengers then get out and start stabbing / shooting people according to early reports.. but it could have been anyone for any reason, who knows, possibly jehovahs witnesses or amish.. maybe we'll never know the reason but i'm sure there will be people praying for those involved and hashtags.. thus solving the problem once and for all.. just "life in a big city" according to the muslim mayor of london, sadiq khan..

  how do we know whether it's the religion that is to blame for these events rather than a mentally ill or deranged individual who happens to be part of that religion - Pete Zahut

  Islam is both a spiritual and a political movement. The majority of Muslims are only concerned about the former and ignore a central theme of the quran and Hadith to spread the domain of Islam by force - Allah's laws being followed in Allah's land.

  Christianity also longs for the day when the whole world will be Christian. The difference is that Christians are to wait for Jesus to destroy the unbelievers and establish his kingdom. Muslims are commanded to act now to make it happen.

  The Islamic terrorist's objective is to make us submit to Islam out of fear of the further consequences for not doing so. Muslim terrorists are not insane or mentally unstable. They genuinely believe they are following the instructions of their god and will be rewarded for doing so. Their actions - from that perspective - are entirely rational.

  Step 1 - Overlay Facebook profile picture with Union Jack

  Step 2 - Somebody get down there with a piano and lead a chorus of "Imagine"

  Step 3 - Candlelight vigil in Trafalgar Square next week

  Did I miss anything else we need to do?

  How Knowledge is Dissipated in Talks

  londo111 » each congregation has a “talk coordinator”.

  talk coordinators will coordinate with other talk coordinators in order to find speakers to give the public talk on sunday.

  typically, they come from the general area: the circuit or a nearby circuit.

  Yeah, a lot different! We don't have any of these weird controls the JWs have

  I watched a documentary about mormon missionaries in the UK. It was the weirdest thing I have ever seen. You are a controlling, dehumanising cult every bit as much as the WT.

  I'm astounded...and I didn't think that was possible

  Let's review - The JWs are a cult, just like the Mormons but different.

  You would be told to desist. There would be a local needs talk. If you did not comply you would be DFd for causing division or any one a few possible offenses.

  muslims in mosul have helped rebuild a christian church that had been destroyed by isis.. iraq has one of the smallest, but oldest, christian communities in the world but isis oversaw the destruction of iraqi churches, books and christian spaces during their occupation of the city..... it's heartening to see both the military defeat of isis in mosul and the desire for normal relationships shown by the inter-faith community.. there is hope..

  Is it for us to say who is a real Muslim? Surely that cuts both ways.

  Murdering children can be justified by the quran and hadith but if other Muslims read those edicts as belonging to an earlier time just as Christians interpret the old testament then more power to them.

  I am not confident that Islam can reform but it's good to see glimmers of hope.

  Notice that this cooperation was only possible as a result of successful military action. Sometimes you do have to fight for peace.

  I've been following this situation over the past few days. Utter madness!

  The black students are abusive, ill-mannered, disrespectful racists. The head of the college is weak and pathetic.

  I have a fascinating book about life in China under Mao Tse Tung. There are chilling similarities. The left is eating itself.
