"... deporting the millions of illegal aliens in the united states will cost trillions and will make this country bankrupt; the beginning of slippery slope that eventually will destroy our country the working immigrants is part of the backbone of our country and they have always been and will always be.. i guess, you are blind to the myriad of studies concluding that immigrants benefits our culture and economy.

a study was released by the center for american progress (cap) that establishes that the enforcement-only approach these restrictionist groups ad-nauseam advocate isnt sustainable in the long-term.

the study estimates that a strategy aimed at deporting the nations population of illegal immigrants would cost the government approximately $285 billion over five years.

I am a legal american residing in Mexico. I have to pay all the fees etc. In two more years I will be a full citizen. If I didn't have the proper paperwork I would be deported in a heartbeat. Why do mexicans protest in the states about it when they would do that to me in THEIR country?

So which makes more sense? Sex or no sex in the "new system"?

by stillstuckcruz in

obviously jah wouldn't allow for millions of pregnancies in the new system for fear of the same problem today of overpopulation.

so would he throw in sex but not allow for the women to become pregnant?

or would there be just no sex at all?

Well I used to teach although it was probably unofficial whenever this question came up was why were the other planets in our solar system created? It wouldn't be too hard for Jah to change any of those planets to be able to have life on them. So like DC comics, there would be multiple earths...

But I don't believe this stuff anymore anyways...

Thank you, and Goodbye

by cyberjesus in

thanks once again to all of those who post in this forum.

and good bye to those of you who choose to leave.. the healing process of exiting a cult is a slow one.

specially if you were born in it.

If hindsight was 20/20, would you have done the same things given the chance to change?

in respects to the dubs.

what kind of things did you miss out on, accomplish?

for me, i probably would because now i'm free and while in i met my wonderful wife (who is also free) of 18 years.

I would've done it different. I would've showed Dad many things.

my mother-in-law is making leaps and bounds in her progress to get out of the watchtower.

for those of you that don't know, she is df'd but has been working on "coming back".

recently i've been able to exchange emails about the dangers of the organization and share jesus with her.

Where in the literature did it say you cannot hold hands in prayer?
