I did read the whole thread and I see people using different excuses to defend Alex Jones, including those who think he has uncovered some "truths". I will reiterate that during his live stream he offered to murder the Attorney General. Free speech has limits. You cannot threaten the President without being prosecuted. Organizations labeled terrorists can't march through the streets, and you cannot threaten someone's life on social media without consequences.

Alex Jones, Infowars Ban on Youtube, FB and other platforms
by pleaseresearch inwhat are you thoughts on this?.
i find this alarming because jones was very outspoken and had great guests on discussing topics most other media outlets wouldn't go near.. the fact that many have restricted him access to their medium what does this say on our freedoms of speech?.

I passed over this thread a few times, because I didn't think it would go in the direction it has... JW's/ExJ's??? You know, as someone who left the cult over two decades ago, I sometimes forget how susceptible cult survivors are to cult mentality in other forms. Alex Jones literally feeds off the fear of others. His political agenda is that of tossing a grenade into a large crowd and wait and see what survives the blast. JW's get so used to looking for Armageddon around every corner, to find signs, that they become a prisoner of patterns, even when those patterns make zero sense. Alex was banned for offering to shoot Jeff Sessions for Trump. That isn't free speech! But hey, I'll play along. Here's some of Alex's best ideas...
The death of Anthony Scalia links back to the illuminati
Lady Gaga's Super Bowl performance was a Satanic ritual
Bill Gates is a eugenist trying to wipeout minorities through vaccines
The government controls the weather
"Pizzagate" aka Hillary Clinton is running a child molestation and trafficking ring through a pizza shop and even murdered some children.
Glenn Beck is a CIA agent that worked for the Obama administration and helped cover up 9/11
Government is using juice boxes to turn children gay
... but beyond this, he is simply a charlatan making a buck. He peddles his own vitamin products on his show and openly admitted in court that he is "playing a trick on the public" all in the form of free speech. Only, most of his followers don't get that he doesn't actually believe everything he peddles. He is a caricature whose made a great deal of money and fame from coming up with the most insane stories possible. Like pulling a tabloid off the shelves at the grocer. My problem with Jones isn't in his insanity or the depth of how far down he can stoop, My problem is that people believe his bull. It puts real lives at risk as people entangle themselves. Parents who've lost their children in a shooting now have to be the subjects of death threats from people who call them actors. A vigilante raided the pizza shop believing there would be children in a non existent basement. Who is going to shoot Jeff Sessions for Alex for Trump?
I understand how easy it is to go down the conspiracy rabbit hole, but that's what they are, Conspiracy Theories. It's so important for people in cults to be aware of their own mental flaws. It isn't something you grow out of. So much time in the JW's rewrites your brain patterns and even if you leave, you will find the same patterns comforting. Remind yourself that they are dangerous!

So... I got the 607 defense articles sent to me...
by i_drank_the_wine in...by a family member who recalled that this is one of my major apostate beefs.
the articles themselves are disgusting pieces of mis-information and require some serious mental gymnastics to actually believe.
however, they're so damn long-winded and waste so much time on pointless stuff like the 2 pages on the jw's beliefs about the 70 year period, that i am debating on whether or not to write the loyal j-dub family member back on it or not.. it shows just how brainwashed that family member is in that they know that 607 is a problem date, yet happily forward the articles as soem sort of proof while never once reading anything on the topic with an iota of thinking.. after years of having everything i've said on these topics ignored by everyone in my family that i've tried contacting over and over again, i really feel like taking the time to pick through their trash is going to be a big waste.

Dear Ms Alley,
Thank you for your email concerning the citation of my work in the
recent Watchtower article. As you suggest the author of this piece is
completely misrepresenting what I wrote, both in what they say about
the lunar three measurement, and in what I say about the possibility
of retrocalculation of eclipses (my comments on the latter were
restricted to a distinct and small group of texts which are different
to the Diary they are discussing). Just glancing through the
Watchtower article I can see that they have also misrepresented the
views of other scholars by selective quotation out of context.
I've looked at the date of VAT 4956 on several occasions and see no
possibility that it can be dated to anything other than the
conventional date.
Regards,
John Steele" -

Mr. Falcon is going GALT!
by Mr. Falcon inraypublisher started this thread: http://www1.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/207626/1/best-way-to-step-down-from-being-a-servant.
it got me thinking, for some wacky reason, of perhaps how i could go about getting relieved of my "privileges".
in the ridicously long-winded novel atlas shrugged by ayn rand, there is a character named john galt.

Do you hate God
by Star tiger ini beginning to think that this would be a good way of thinking, a totally righteous being would not let all the shit that is happenning to people prevail, this being cannot have the best interests of man as his first priority, it's all about ego and no matter how the human familty suffers, he hates pretty much everyone, as the tv show says, your fired, let's get a better god, one who at least gives everyone a chance!!.
i welcome comments from god apologists, to at least have an argument as to why they put they're faith in someone that does'nt give a shit about them!.

When I beleived in God, I never hated him. The faults of men are the faults of men. I think the WTBTS hates God. Their theology is an expose on where God went wrong... carnivores, sex, death, aparently microbic evolving viruses... according to early literature, even black people are a mistake. The WT hates God and in turn God hates his creation.

I hate that it starts so late. The JW's are trying to find way to discredit him now... I wonder if he'll say anything. I sent him the link yesterday. It's too late, I'll have to hear the recording.

Mr. Falcon Asks......What's so bad about boxing?
by Mr. Falcon ini love boxing.
it kicks arse all over the place.
although it has lost some of it's prior glory and has waaaay too many classes that are televised and billed as "main events", it's still better than mma (sorry to any mma fans; i actually don't mind ufc, i'm just saying that i prefer traditional boxing).. anywho, what is the deal with jws hating on boxing?
