  Award Shows and Entertainment---Do You Want To Hear Political Views During A Show?

  by minimus in

  if i watch a ball game or an awards show or some other type of entertainment, i really don't care about politics.

  i enjoy politics but there's a time and there is a place.. i think it's getting out of hand and it's getting pretty boring...but that's just my humble opinion..

  Totally agree.

  The ability to act/sing/tell funny stories/catch a ball does not make a person's views on political issues worth hearing.

  The terror alert level in the UK has just been raised to the highest level - critical.

  This means that an attack is believed to be imminent. It usually means the security services have specific information about a planned attack. It probably links to the bomber from this morning who has not been caught yet.

  It was a home-made bomb with a timer but it failed to detonate properly. If it had worked there would have been many deaths. This makes six Islamic terrorist attacks in the UK so far this year.

  It has now been officially declared as a terrorist attack. Looks like it was a bomb that failed to detonate properly.

  No doubt it will turn out to be another gift from the "religion of peace".

  But that is not what happened in NK. Kim Jong-un is the son of NK dictator Kim Jong-il and grandson of dictator Kim Il-sung.

  NK is a religious cult of personality. All hints of dissent are met with violent death. One senior official was put in front of a firing squad of anti-aircraft guns for failing to applaud with sufficient enthusiasm.

  we are rarely given accounts of what is provoking the provoker - Ruby

  Nothing is provoking the Fat Boy apart from his own ego. The whole country is a quasi-religious cult of personality much as China was under Mao Zedong.

  And regarding the USA they have promised to - "annihilate the U.S. imperialist aggressors and “reduce the U.S. mainland into ashes and darkness”

  Japan is furious - again!

  Donald Trump says that the American people are "very, very safe".

  If you get angry with God, it's like... Fishy

  It's exactly like getting angry at any other fictional being. A waste of energy.

  what do you consider sinful?

  okay, i know many of you no longer believe that there is a god.

  just bear with me a little, just assumed that there is a creator or god.

  The world simply will not exist.

  sinboi I think you need to make sure that your beliefs line up with reality.

  There are so many things about the world you will learn if you keep an open mind and commit yourself to learning.

  You refer regularly to god as the creator. How do you reconcile a creator god with the reality that every living thing evolved from a common ancestor over millions of years. Despite what you have been told this is a fact beyond all reasonable doubt. It isn't even controversial in the world of science.

  Here are a collection of brief bite-sized pieces of evidence you probably have not considered before.

  Evolution is a Fact - Index of Parts 1 - 40...
  

  Nobody needed smartphones until companies told us we need them. Thus we give our money to smartphone sellers.
  Nobody needed redemption until priests told us we're sinners. Thus we give our money, obedience and time to the priests. - Anders Anderson

  This is excellent!

  Sindoi - It will take years to work through all of the evidence relating to the god and the bible.

  Please take your time, there is no hurry. For the moment be content to know that absolutely everything you have ever been taught is unreliable. Commit to an evidence-based worldview and your beliefs will eventually take care of themselves without you even noticing.

  Go and focus on important things like friendships, sport, education, career prospects and pretty girls.

  There is no armageddon to fear. In time that fact will be so obvious to you, you will wonder how you could ever have thought otherwise. Your first challenge is get over the angst that is the hallmark of all JWs.

  Your life is full of possibilities.
