I can recall at least one situation where the service department and/or legal department was called when a disgruntled brother threatened to sue. The elders on the JC were asked if said brother really had the financial ability to afford the costs a lawsuit. He did. Their instructions were to drop the matter and leave it in Joe Hoover’s hands.
Money talks.

Are You Afraid You Might Do Something or Say Something That Is Considered Politically Incorrect?
by minimus ini was just reading how a guy on the net was saying he was attracted to some black women like halle berry but serena or gayle king not at all.
he was expressing his opinion.
anyway, he quickly got fired and he profusely apologized for what he said and has asked for help from the naacp and the mayor’s office to learn to do better.

When You Were A Witness Did You Believe Everything Taught?
by minimus inobviously at some point you stopped believing the witnesses had the truth or else you wouldn’t be here.
.
but for the most part, were you a true believer or were you typically a rebel or a doubter?

Sadly, I did.
Hook. Line. And sinker.
Even managed to convince myself the 1995 generation New Lite was "reasonable".

Not totally banning gun ownership, but far stricter controls seems to me to be the only way to go.
Yes! Because people who ignore laws about murdering other people will obey gun control laws. That makes good sense!

Did The Witnesses Mess Up Your Sex Life?
by minimus inmost of the witnesses i knew never really talked about sex.
whatever couples did was pretty much kept quiet.
every once in a while a wife might complain to the elders or a friend that the husband is too demanding or even immoral because of the sex practices the husband wanted.

Yes indeed!
Sex was "bad"! And of course, oral sex was the baddest of bad. Played it pretty much by the rules as a JW teenager. Even later (20's) would never go "all the way" because there was some rule about "penetration" prior to the definition of pornea being anything and everything sexual. Even after getting married had a bit of a hangup about oral sex (usually after one of those meeting parts condemning it). Most of us younger married guys joked about NOT getting involved in the "practice" of oral sex with our wives -- because we no longer needed more "practice". In fact. we were damn good at it.

Will Governor Cuomo be the Next President?
by RubaDub intrying to put politics aside (even though that won't really work), but ny governor andrew cuomo is blowing the other politicians out out the water (orange man [trump] and the lizard [biden]).. i don't know if cuomo has a usb port in the back of his head plugged into a hard drive but the guy speaks, analyzes and talks coherently.
the orange man always passes difficult questions to someone else.
the lizard can't comprehend what the question is but tries to answer something.. cuomo comes out with facts, analysis and direction on what needs to be done.

What a difference a year makes!
Cuomo was certainly a front runner as a candidate for POTUS. I even thought the Party might lay their hands on him at the Convention. I'm still shocked they went with Slo-Joe and The Ho and even more surprised that ticket won (and really doubt if it did if it were not for Dominion).
At this point I think Andy's "goose is cooked". I can't see him surviving the sex scandal now that his own Party has turned against him.
As far as the POTUS position, it doesn't matter. Now that MSM like NBC are reporting Biden's stumbles it would seem the puppet masters are ready to retire Slo-Joe and welcome in President Harris.
