Iowa Democratic Caucus - Just WOW

by Simon in

there was a babylon bee or onion spoof article a few weeks back claiming the democrats would lose their own caucus and ... well, they managed to do it for real.. apparently they can't count their own votes, their app and process is now steeped in corruption (created by a company called 'shadow' that has taken money from multiple candidates as well as the dnc and has links to clinton) and multiple candidates have declared themselves the winner.

biden has apparently done so badly that he's going to court to block the results being announced.

no estimate of when they will be released even.. how do they come up with this ... and what does it mean for the election results where they oversee the counts?.

Mayor Pete seems a decent man, the others look like too much compromised with the system. The Democratic party needs new guys, remember Obama?.

OMG!

Sadly, I do remember Obama.

Do you remember that other "new guy" from the 70's?

Jimmy Carter -- Talk about compromising the system! We got our first home mortgage at that time. It was so low I wanted to be certain it was "assumable" in case I had to sell the house. That mortgage rate was 13.5%. (Some mortgages at that time were over 18%.)

BTW -- How are things going in South Bend, IN (where Pete was mayor)?

i’ve heard some people praise him for his zeal against president trump.

others have not been so praiseworthy toward the california congressman.. today he was so concerned that trump might be so emboldened now that he has won acquittal, that he suggests that trump might make a deal with russia and sell them the state of alaska.

😐.

The same loyalty that JWs feel to the GB is the same that the right feels to trump. I think that should get people to stop and think, why is this the case?

JWs In The UK: Jehovah's Witnesses sued over 'historical sex abuse

by pale.emperor in

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51006771.

according to my older brother, my mother now refuses to watch the news in case they mention this story.

funny, when the news exposed the catholic church she turned the volume up.. at least 20 former jehovah's witnesses are suing the group over historical sexual abuse they say they suffered.the group has a policy of not punishing alleged child sex abuse unless a second person, alongside the accuser, has witnessed it - or an abuser confesses.it says its elders "comply with child-abuse reporting laws even if there is only one witness", though, and always tell police if a child is in danger.but one former elder said it had been failing to involve the authorities.john viney, who says he was abused between the ages of nine and 13, by "a distant family member who was an active jehovah's witness", added children were still being abused and the religious organisation was "inadvertently" protecting their abusers.

Dumb things JWs believed

by JimmyYoung in

i am not talking about the usual crap from the cult writings, but rather things idiots believed on their own.

maybe even helped on by the cult but not directly taught.

i knew an old man now long gone kunde in michigan.

Don't discount the benefits of cutting an onion and putting it on your nightstand while you sleep. There is more to this folk medicine than you know.

Or it could be that the onion kept people (and their germs) a safe distance away?

"How to NOT make Iowa caucuses count."

Everybody wins!!

I think it's going to be a HUGE positive for Pete Buttigieg's campaign. I'm shocked the Bible Thumpers of Iowa can support the gay candidate. Things really are a-changing. But if Biden gets kicked to the curb, moderates will be scrambling for another "moderate" to support (can you believe calling the gay guy "moderate"?). Mayor Pete is good looking, eloquent speaking, and hasn't done much of anything to-date -- he's only 38) so there's nothing really bad to haunt him. Months ago there were hailing him as the "white Obama".

it was announced today that we will have a special weekend meeting next month.

it will be 3 hours long and will include some streamed content.. no explanation was given as to what the meeting will be about, only that it will be exciting and we will not want to miss it..

The best special talk ever was Morris blasting tight pants and bright colored socks, and not following the fashion trend of Homosexuals maybe 4 years ago. This special talk woke up a good number of JW,s, so maybe special talks are good for something.

Yes, it seems to be that somebody got the attention of the GB and told them to STFU! There was way too much controversial said openly in talks (recorded forever) and even printed in the WT. Lately it seems (to me) that everything is bland. They sound like a Facebook meme -- Praise God! Be thankful! Love your brother! Care for the Elderly!

Someone is counseling them to keep their damn foot outta their mouth!

FOLLOW THE MONEY !!

by Phizzy in

this from j.w survey :.

https://jwsurvey.org/we knew they did this to a degree, but this is a blatant way of siphoning money to where the leaders want it, with no control, no transparency, and no way for anyone to be able to see where it has gone.

jehovah’s witness uk headquarters dissolves kingdom hall charities, seizes full control of property and finances.

This is the Borg taking absolute control of all assets. This makes me think that there is something coming down the pipeline that they expect will cause a huge fallout and they want defectors to have no choice but just walk away.
