  Three and a half more years of Biden ...

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. current

  how is the biden administration doing so far?.

  biden reversed trump's plans for the border wall, and now america has thousands of illegal immigrants entering from mexico.. strangely, biden didn't reverse trump's plans for withdrawal from afghanistan, and instead pressed ahead with his own brand of lunacy, literally running away from afghanistan and abandoning its people to the taliban.. what is it with biden?

  is he senile or just incompetent?

  What I want to know is who is voting for these idiots over and over again

  I'd rather believe there was voter fraud than this many stupid voters!

  The unfolding crisis in Afghanistan is completely Joe Biden's fault, nobody else's

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  so, there's been a lot of talk on social media, blaming trump for the current crisis that began at the weekend.. it's a load of bullsh!t from deluded people who are desperate to blame anyone but joe biden, the idiot they voted for or at least wanted to win last november.. there is only one person, just one person, to blame: joe biden.. he has the heavy burden of making tough presidential decisions.. and after this debacle, it's reasonable to ask if he's up to making such decisions..

  Creaky Joe knew that the Taliban could come back and overtake the country, killing any Afghan in their way. ~LOVE UNI
  

  This is where your scenario goes all wrong. Biden could not have known the Taliban were still a threat. Sleepy Joe doesn't even know whose basement he's hiding in.

  Afghanistan-Kabul falls to Taliban - U.S. Embassy staff evacuated by helicopter

  in a scene reminiscent of the fall of saigon, the usa embassy staff have been evacuated by helicopter.. for a third time in asia ( a fourth, if you count usa supported chiang kai shek's defeat in mainland china) usa supported forces have been defeated.

  more than 1 trillion dollars wasted and a huge deathtoll (both sides) afghanistan is back to where it started,.

  will the taliban behave differently this time ?

  . . . . . . according to the rules YOU SET. ~ Pistol Pete

  I agree with those who say not to take that step to disassociate. We, too, are considered just "inactive" and probably "spiritually weak", thus while almost no former JW (conditional) friends reach out to us, they don't hesitate to talk if we meet in public, etc. And, almost none of our family is shunning us. To me "disassociating" is to play by WT Rules. They can toss your file.

  ''Deliverance at Hand''. Now 15 years on &....

  by Beth Sarim in

  ....and still no big 'a'.

  armageddon.. it was 15 years ago dubland was in lala dream-like almost trance-like state hanging on the notion the big 'a' was imminent.. it was ironic.

  ironic at that time was when.... i was starting my long waking-up process.

  I think most jws knew something was not right back in 1995, but they still stayed in, confused and not knowing what the hell was going on.

  Overweight Jehovah’s Witnesses

  what was your kingdom hall like when it came to overweight witnesses?

  i remember counseling some people on their drinking habits.

  a few snickered that if we were going to counsel them because they have had way too many at a wedding reception, what about very overweight witnesses that have a lifestyle of overindulgence?

  Frankly, I don't think JW's (as a group) are any more obese than the average population. It varies some by location because there is a higher rate of obesity in low income areas (in and out of the JW bOrg).

  I can only speak for the USA. From my travels I see that Europeans walk their asses off. They oughta be skinny. Americans drive to their mailbox if they have a long driveway.

  will we close down again?

  will we be masked forever?

  will we be required to get vaccinated over and over again?

  Covid is here to stay, just as is influenza.

  Now 70% have the shot and the numbers are high again.

  What happened to herd immunity?

  I really think the general population is being treated like strawberries -- kept in the dark and fed lots of manure (bullshit).

  But I cannot watch his videos. Not because of content, that is excellent. No, it is because they are too damn long. lol I wish he would do 10 minute videos, to the point. ~ Snakes
  

  That seems to be a consensus.

  Agreed. Curious JW's who land on his site will just see it as JW's are the only group upholding Bible standards.

  It seems to me that the Watchtower is dying on it's posterior and there is little more to discuss anymore. ~ Punk
  

  I agree. JW Land is BORING! There is nothing new to discuss. Even my full-in JW mother complains that the WT rags are same ol' shit. Nothing new.

  There are plenty of posts (and poster) that I just pass over. I'd rather do that than leave the site, tho I must admit I do not see that many new Leaving-JW's coming here lately.
