  Boogeyboy had a bee in his bonnet but lacks the balls to actually come right out and say that covid19 is a hoax and tell us why and who?

  He is a conspiracy nutter without the courage of his feeble convictions.

  Whenever a social media post includes the word 'sheeple' you know that you can safely ignore everything that follows as the ravings of a gullible conspiracy nutter.

  Pro footballers are tested multiple times a week at great expense to their respective clubs.

  What is your point exactly?

  "16 april 2020 | comment | article by alan collins.

  jehovah’s witness elder sentenced to nine years in prison for sexual abuse.

  jehovah’s witness elder, clifford whiteley, has been sentenced to nine years in prison at the birmingham crown court for sexual abuse offences he committed against a child member of the congregation over ten years ago.. mr whiteley initially denied the offences to the police, despite the fact that he had admitted his guilt during an internal investigation of the jehovah’s witnesses.. during court proceedings, mr whiteley’s defence counsel, sharon bailey, stated that the jehovah’s witnesses refused to disclose the details of his confession to the police.

  'The Jehovah’s Witnesses say they abhor child abuse and take child protection seriously but the mere fact the elders in this congregation failed to assist the police with inquiries says otherwise.'

  They should be prosecuted for assisting an offender.

  Jehovah's Witnesses Class Warfare (parallels to Karl Marx)

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  among jehovah’s witnesses, the elite consists of 144,00 kings and priests who have been specially selected (anointed) to rule in heaven (as transformed spirit beings) over the second group (great crowd) who remain human on a paradise earth.. .

  in marxist theory, the elite use wealth to obtain political power and control ideology consisting of shaping the worldview of the underclass.

  (their role in society.).

  The parallel in my mind is this, Marx' main fault was that he did not give any idea of how to achieve his Workers Utopia

  His main fault was far more fundamental than that. He misunderstood human nature. All attempts to pursue utopia are not only doomed to failure but inevitably lead to dystopia.

  Stockholm syndrome and religion

  by menrov in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  based on a discussion i had with my wife, i started to compare the situation of people who are a member of a religious organisation or are devout to a belief, to the so-called stockholm syndrome.

  the stockholm syndrome is where feelings of trust or affection is felt in many cases of kidnapping or hostage-taking by a victim towards a captor.

  in such a situation, the person being kidnapped is not free to leave and is held against their will but over time takes that situation as a "new normal" and even starts to see their kidnapper(s) as normal people.

  Menrov - I think it's a perfect analogy. We see the same thing in totalitarian regimes. People genuinely wept when Stalin died. There is a human tendency to become complicit in your own oppression.

  Pale Emperor asks a good and genuine question and some dullard responds with a 'dislike'.

  FFS!

  I think in American culture 'Liberal' has come to be synonymous with the SJW movement and Identity politics.

  Classic liberals are more about free speech, freedom of personal morality and economic freedom. At the far end of the spectrum is the Libertarian position.

  'I have always found it quaint and rather touching that there is a movement [Libertarians] in the US that thinks Americans are not yet selfish enough.' - Christopher Hitchens

  Rasmussen poll found 62% of Americans now support Black Lives Matter, up from 37% four years ago. Only 43% of Americans approve of Trump - SBF

  Violent protests reliably turn a population conservative. The longer this chaos goes on the more likely it is that Trump will get reelected.

  Removing Historic Monuments and Statues - Does the Term "Historical" Make it Right or Wrong?

  by RubaDub in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after further review and thought, i really don't see how removing a monument or statue that may be truly offensive to a large group of people is in some way rewriting history.. i think of germany or other parts of europe.

  you don't see swastikas on buildings or statues of hitler or mussolini or other upper level generals in public.

  would it be good for a person (think jewish) to drive around a city and see hitler in a public park, even though it is "historical?

  Should the Greeks now go around tearing down their ancient statues and ought the Italians do the same to their heritage? Both of those civilisations were built on slavery.
