Funerals
by Theonlyoneleft inso i have a question about a not so spoken subject.
so if you feel inappropriate please feel free to ignore me!
has anyone given a thought about what they would like for their funeral one day?.

I heard of a way of doing funerals that appeals to me. The undertaker takes care of the cremation privately and returns the ashes asap. Then family and friends get together and do their own thing with nobody presiding over any ceremony of sermons. Just go to a favourite place to scatter the ashes and have some food and drink and remember.

If the UK leaves the EU WITHOUT a deal.....
by The Fall Guy in.....it would appear that the republic of ireland (not the uk) is responsible under eu law for the setting up of a hard border with its non-eu neighbour, northern ireland.
just as spain had to do with ceuta in morocco.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ceuta_border_fence.
a 310 mile border would cost a helluva lot to build and to cover with security.

It's an empty threat, there will be no hard border.
The EU would blink first but they will be putting their hopes in the the anti-democratic cowards in Parliament who will plot to block Brexit by any means necessary. It's all going to go down to the wire.

Do You Think Trump Bares Any Responsibility For The Mass Shootings Occuring?
by minimus inwhen any mass shooting happens is it the president’s fault?
i’m talking over the last few decades..

Of course not. If he bears any responsibility it is far more subtle than that.
He could take an uncompromising stance against illegal immigration from Mexico in more professional terms.
Ultimately the blame all rests with the racist with the gun.

I agree with Pete Zahut. If all media outlets voluntarily agreed to never mention the name of a gunman it would reduce the frequency of mass shootings.
As for Trump, I think he issues 'dog whistles'. Sooner or later somebody will respond. I don't think for a moment he approves of this incident but his language is careless.
Henry II once said 'will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?'. Four of his knights rode off and murdered the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket. Henry was mortified. Words have unintended consequences.

i’ve been lurking on here for four or so years, enjoying the debates and experiences of all of you.

Welcome Lobsto. Thanks for sharing your story.
I'm impressed by your curious mind. JWs have no chance of holding on to somebody like that.
Best wishes for your future. Stick around and let us know how things progress.

JW Mentality vs. North Korean Mentality

I agree with the OP.
I've done a fair bit of reading about North Korea, Stalin's Russia, Mao's China, Germany's Third Reich, the Salafist Caliphate and post-revolutionary Iran. Totalitarian regimes have many similarities with each other and with the Watchtower.
The most basic thing they all have in common is the pursuit of a utopian fantasy at any cost.

I can't begin to understand why anybody would have a live microphone in their house connected to the internet.

Reddit Post: Watchtower Appeals to Supreme Court
by APieceOfShitNamedTate infrom john redwood.... a preview of upcoming news:.
jehovah's witnesses are appealing to the supreme court of the united states, but this time it has nothing to do with preaching or saluting the flag.. it's all about child abuse.. specifically, the protection (or cover-up) of information, documents, and testimony of persons involved in cases of child abuse.. i will be covering this story in the coming weeks and months, but i thought i would share some of this news and try to distill it down as simply as i can.. i'd like to point out first that watchower has appealed to the supreme court in connection with their loss of yet another california child abuse case.
the chance that watchtower's appeal being will be heard by the supreme court is slim, but anything is possible.. what brought this about?.

Fascinating. I look forward to your updates.
I am not prone to conspiracy theories but you have to wonder why they have chosen to make a stand on this issue. This is NOT a biblical principle that has to be defended.
Somebody is afraid of the facts being revealed. Is it the scale of the problem that they need to keep secret or are there particular names that need to be protected - or both?
