"Republicans don't have anyone to match this woman and her experience in federal politics."

Finkelstein: She has 4 years in the Senate and 4 years as Secretary of State. What experience are you talking about? What did she accomplish in either of those roles?

As for Trump, he was stupid and wrong for saying what he said about Mccain. That said, he's bringing up some good points about the VA, immigration, and trade. Besides his bombastic nature, and the fact he's a narcissist, he's no more narcissistic than nearly anyone who runs for president.

You can make fun of his hair, and it does look stupid. You can disagree with his style, but besides the Mccain comment, he's not wrong.

Was it worth it?

by John Aquila in

for those of you who left family and friends and had to start over from scratch just to get out of the organization, was it worth it?.

.

To feel like its ok to have a personal relationship with God and HE can guide me and HE can comfort me and HE can tell me what's right and what's wrong and how to live my life instead of a dozen or so old guys in Brooklyn telling ME what God thinks?

It is absolutely worth it to me!!!!!

Lets list everything that has pagan origins!!

by song19 in

i have a feeling i am going to have to explain to my jw folks why i have decided to allow my children to participate in holidays at school.

theyll probably be wondering too why i will get together with our non jw family for the holidays.. .

we know jws avoid holidays because of their pagan origins.

Lipstick used to symbolize whether a prostitute was willing to perform oral sex

Jamie: Did lipstick mean the woman would be willing to perform oral sex, or that she wouldn't? I can see it both ways. If she was willing, she had her lips greased up for the task, but if it meant she wasn't willing, I guess its because she wouldn't want to smear her lipstick.

Just wondering.

Are either one of these people a Witness? It happened at 1:20am, so it could just be a couple from the neighborhood who pulled into the parking lot for an argument.

Special Bethel Family Meeting before the AGM

by Skinnedsheep in

jw
friends

i could have sworn that i heard or read about a special bethel family meeting before the annual meeting.

has anyone heard or seen this?

If you were to ask each of them, they would have said Armageddon was just around the corner, and would happen in their lifetime. Many thought it would happen within the next year of when this picture was taken. Sadly, they're all dead now. At least I would say its safe to assume.

BTW: Celebrating Christmas just 8 years after being inspected by Jesus and being found worthy, just seems odd, doesn't it?

Indianapolis Assembly Hall Chorus AMAZING!

by NoMoreHustle in

friends

this is what wt has been producing, this had my bottom jaw on the carpet while i was watching (like the footloose one).

and they say there different from other religions yeah right!!.

i hope this link works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vahglagd2i.

AMAZING!! I have sat in that assembly hall too many times to count, and could never imagine ANYTHING like that going on there!!

BTW: The Assembly Hall in Indianapolis is a very beautiful building. There was a fire there in the mid 80's so they were able to do some remodeling (The Hall is a historical site which prevents them from doing too many changes). There used to be a lot of granite throughout the lobby. It has since been carpeted over, but it is really a beautiful building inside and out. Its for sale too.
