  hoser - “…The watchtower Canada reported the highest number of publishers ever…”

  …even though, y’know, Kingdom Halls are being sold, and congregations dissolved and/merged across the country.

  But the Org’s track record for honesty and transparency is impeccable.

  ah, yes, another shining example of the watchtower’s *unmatched* commitment to rational thought.

  forget logic, science, or even basic common sense—just blame that suspiciously cursed handbag for all your troubles!

  new german chancellor merz has won the election.

  trump congratulated his victory but the response was not what trump expected.

  merz condemned america, saying that america seemed to be aligning with russia.. he also expressed doubts about nato’s future.. he is now advocating that germany must gain independence from usa.

  “…America seemed to be aligning with Russia…”

  IF that’s actually the case…

  …ten bucks says Trump and Putin are quietly planning on divvying up everything above the Arctic Circle between them…

  …or, more accurately, all of the resources within it that are now becoming accessible due to global warming.

  if you think you got rid of tony morris........think again, there something called "genetics".

  starting at the first minute, made possible by the immaculate conception of jesse morris, to continue the work of his father, anthony morris, the subject of critical thinking is discussed.

  how did we not know, that critical thinking is not the same as intelligence!

  “Do not be fooled by the notion that a critical, cynical, pessimistic view is intelligence"

  Agreed, because…

  a) …“critical thinking” and “a critical, cynical, pessimistic view” aren’t the same thing, and…

  b) …critical thinking helps you become more intelligent… while intelligence, in turn, helps critical thinking skills.

  They’re not being criminalized.

  They’re not being persecuted.

  They’re not even being prosecuted.

  They’re perfectly free to continue believing, practicing, and conducting themselves as they have been for decades.

  They simply may no longer do so at the taxpayers’ expense…

  …as a result of consistent, demonstrable failure to follow the rules they themselves agreed to when they acquired the privilege from said taxpayers’ legitimate representatives.

  Further Crisis looming for JW org re Safeguarding ?

  if you substitute j.w org for c of e this really hits home : (from bbc news site) :.

  the church of england risks further crisis if it fails to adopt a sweeping new independent system to keep people safe, the former head of a national inquiry into child sexual abuse has said.

  (prof. alexis jay).. "i think it's absolutely necessary because church safeguarding as it stands falls below the standards of secular organisations, and i do not think that can continue when it has also led to such serious weaknesses," she told the bbc..
