It Looks Like Impeachment Is Dead On Arrival In The Senate
by minimus inmost republican senators believe, as i do that you can’t impeach and convict a president unless he is in office.
with the opposing sides thinking, perhaps obama, bush clinton and carter could have their records reviewed and face the political punishment of impeachment and conviction after their presidency ended too?.

People sometimes get a mild case of an illness specifically from a vaccine shot.
As I understand it, it can be part of the actual immunization process... you have to have a pathogen present in your bloodstream for your immune system to create antibodies to it, after all.
It happened to me with my measles vaccination when I was a kid.

Anyone notice how when some of us older ones were in the cult.......
by mickbobcat inwhen i was a kid in the late sixties the type of books we would study was very intense compared to the bull shit pablum that they put out today?
i mean the finished mystery and others now its these stupid books that don't dive deep into the beliefs.

Another significant cause of the dialed-down nature of the publications is that original WT Oracle Fred Franz kicked the bucket without leaving any kind of successor... in no small part because - as a True Believer (like the rest of the WT leadership) - he fully bought into everything he was writing*.
As admittedly skilled at word-smithing as he was, it never even would have occurred to him to take on any kind of protege, because the End was always the day after tomorrow.
Couple that with Ted Jaracz using 9-11 fear to purge virtually all the moderates and liberals from WTHQ, and there are virtually no creative-types and outside-the-box thinkers left... the very people with the vital innovative and narrative chops needed to perform any kind effective theological overhaul for the 21st Century.
As a result, the Org is stuck with a decades-old Cold-War-centric eschatology, a bare-bones-educated and -staffed writing pool, and fuck-all imagination.
Not a recipe for literary robustness.
...
*Like I've said before, a really easy habit to fall into when you're convinced God whispers in your ear and you're surrounded solely with people who are never allowed to disagree with you.

Steve Hassan - politics as a cult
by Anna Marina insee this video at 2:58. sanity4sweden explains that 'cult expert' steve hassan was on cnn giving advice on how to deprogram trump supporters.. https://www.bitchute.com/video/3plguubdsjs/.
so this must be political correctness on steroids.. i have occasionally heard the name steve hassan mentioned in relation to the watchtower.
but even watchtower helps people to escape cults.

perdurabo - "I feel we are in a Milgram experiment right now."
Okay, but who's running it?
The Illuminati?
The Reptilians?
The militant branch of the Salvation Army?

My advice?
Take every report of WT success (of any kind) with a Gibraltor-sized grain of salt... we already know the Org fudges the truth past any of Stretch Armstrong's freakiest Rule 34 fantasies, after all.
"Growth/success = God's blessing" has become so deeply baked into the Org's ideological DNA that at this point, they can't report anything but...
...no matter how much it's complete horseshit

A Troubling Culture: JW Group Think vs. Individual Critical Thinking
by MicaSmith ini had no idea that the resistance, governance, and duplicity i am experiencing as a jehovah witness is actually part of a bigger behavioral issue that permeates the entire jehovah witness culture.. i was troubled by the fact that many persons who have been crushed by the unfair practices of jw leadership described themselves as former members of the jw cult, and, or, apostates.
the latter bothered me to a greater degree because i felt the word apostate has been overused by jw's leadership and members.
anyone who disagrees with anything the governing body does or says is assigned the label an apostate.

We can thank the Hare Krishnas for society's current (and difficult-to-shed) perception of a "cult".
The truth is, though, the vast majority don't go around wearing robes, chanting, and shaving their heads.

FedUpJW - "...I 'innocently' asked, 'You mean I must quit reading The Bible?'..."
I imagine their response being somewhat like this:

Yup.
There’s more hard-R content in the Bible than Quentin Tarantino’s entire filmography.
And in fact, I’m totally cool with that...
...I’m a huge fan of fantasy, horror, and graphic violence.
😎
Seriously though, I once told my elder Dad that if anyone ever made a real true-to-the-text movie adaptation of the Bible, I could never let my kids watch it.
He was quite taken aback by that thought as it had clearly never occurred to him, but to his credit, he had to concede the truth of it.

The Cancel Culture Is Alive And Well
by minimus inif you don’t support certain ideas or beliefs, you may find yourself on the losing end in business, money matters, and community.
curt schilling, a former red sox player who is conservative today reported how his insurance company suddenly dropped him even though he was an excellent consumer with them because of his “ views”.
he was marked by those in charge and evidently was told by the rep he knew that they didn’t like his political views.

Aw, fuck it.
Let’s just ALL go to re-education camps.
At least the food’ll be free.
