  Are You Satisfied With The Way The News Media Acts?

  by minimus in

  it would be a wonderful thing if the news media tried to exercise some fairness when they report the news or editorialize on a matter.

  if the news media does not stop showing bias, i would like to see sanctions of some sort on the cnn’s of the world.

  i really don’t think they can make the media fair but it would be nice..

  We could petition the governing body to bring back “Watching the World” in the Awake Magazine. It might actually be less sensational than CNN.

  so get this, wt has something they're calling a "jw box" that gives people in africa "spiritual food".

  the best part, they want donations of $75 for it!

  so they don't provide any physical food to people in africa but they can send them "spiritual food" for $75.

  Why didn’t the borg make the jw box sticker big enough to cover the entire router? It would have eliminated the need for the piece of white tape to cover the original manufacturers information.

  Do You Think “Protestors “Should Be Able To Shut Down Bridges Highways and Hospital Emergency Areas?

  by minimus in

  some believe protesters have the “right” to block main roads, traffic and other places simply because they have a right to protest something.. in la, two deputies were ambushed and shot in the head and as the ambulance tried to take the fallen deputies to the emergency room, protesters blocked the way chanting they wished the police would die!

  .

  in nyc blm protesters blocked the george washington bridge and other major highways and streets to protest for their cause.. do you think this is acceptable?

  In Canada we’ve had climate activists, animal rights activists and native rights activists shutting down farms, highways and railroad tracks.

  People have a right to protest and that right needs to be protected in a democracy. However, as a businessman I have a right to transport my goods and provide services to customers.

  A good compromise between the two groups is to allow businesses to be paid for economic losses due to missed shipments and delays. We should be able to send an invoice to individual protesters and green peace, BLM and Native groups for our losses.

  Demurrage on a bulk vessel waiting in harbour is in the tune of $50,000 per day. A unit train sitting on a blocked track runs in the neighborhood of a few thousand dollars an hour.

  Resolution passing with zoom

  hi folks.. i put this in practices as i thought that appropriate.

  perhaps it should be in scandalous behavior.

  not a big deal but an example of the cult-ish intimidation and behavior.. at the end of this mornings short wt review prior to the convention brainwash by jackson, ( melbourne australia) the elder stated "brothers we have a resolution to present to the congregation".

  “The Asiatic Mind” — Watchtower 1956

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  searching instances of the word “simplify” in watchtower literature, i stumbled across this.. the asiatic mind finds it difficult to accept new ways, to simplify and to make advantageous changes.

  they fear conversion and dislike others’ offering them help.

  many continually live in a realm of unreality and refuse to face modern facts of life.

  It’s a control thing. Carrot and the stick (to beat you with).

  You can get privileges in the congregation but they come at a cost to your integrity as a human being.

  If you don’t bow to the authoritarian pressure your privileges can be removed in a stroke of a pen.

  I’m sure glad I checked out mentally years ago

  I thought that was interesting as well. Jade used the cannibas to help with her anxiety. Sounds medical to me. I guess they want her to switch to high end scotch as that seems to be the only approved vice.

  One of the things circuit overseer scrutinises is amount of donations remitted to branch. And yes they will close your Kingdom Hall but only after you have been given false hope by a renovation project.

  The toxic JW Worldview

  sometimes i forget how small-minded, petty, provincial, mean-spirited ignorant and judgemental it was and still is.... then i sit down with a jw relative, hoping to have a normal conversation and realize there is literally nothing to talk about.. nothing..... current events?

  hobbies?

  your job?

  A big thing to them is if they are allowed to carry a microphone at the Kingdom Hall or are allowed to auxiliary pioneer in April.

  Do You Think All These Organized Demonstrations Are Productive?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  from washington state to new york city to atlanta and california and so on, you see thousands of demonstrators trying to get rid of police, statues, monuments and anything they consider racially biased.. do you think this type of activity and destruction is working well for the country and it’s law abiding citizens?

  BLM and other leftist organizations are so detached from reality it isn’t even funny.

  There is a problem with lack of grocery stores and other services in poorer neighborhoods. What do the protesters do? Burn down the businesses that are there. What do the cities do? Refuse to protect the businesses that are in poorer areas of town.

  No business in their right mind will have a store in those places and the community continues to suffer.
