  It's good, since I don't watch pro sports and they'll be hurting for cash pretty quickly. Off course the BLM leaders aren't going to be hurting for cash, people like LeBron James, who is instigating the NBA to cancel, is worth $1B

  Yes, he's in the top 0.001% of Americans, along with a disproportionate amount of blacks in the NBA making more than a million per year.

  The person it is going to hurt is the black inner city kid that got a scholarship and a 1 year contract during which he has to show his skill and get hired by a team. If he's not playing, he's not getting that contract or scholarship and his knees will be shot for the rest of his life in a last ditch attempt to get Biden elected.

  Why Does It Seem That Black People Are Always Being Shot By The Police?

  there is either a conspiracy against blacks in this country and police are out to get them or it’s that they are getting caught breaking the law and often times refuse to obey police authority.

  @Betheliesalot: That may be true, but whites are less likely to commit a crime.

  So in the form of crime statistics, you're almost 50% more likely to be shot if you're a white committing a crime vs a black committing a crime. It's even worse if you are Asian, who are shot while committing a crime twice as likely as blacks.

  According to research, there are an estimated 15-20 million Jehovah's Witnesses in the world, those that declare themselves to be JW in surveys and other methods of counting.

  Obviously those aren't "active" which is the way the borg is counting, thus they have a peak rate and an average rate that is wildly divergent.

  - In Chicago over this 4th of July weekend (Thursday eve. – Sunday eve.), 87 blacks were shot including 13 black children, and 17 blacks who were shot died including two black children.

  - In New York City over this 4th of July weekend (Friday –Sunday), 44 blacks were shot and 11 blacks killed, mostly through gunfire.

  - In Atlanta, Austin, Hoover, Alabama, Washington DC, and Greenville, S.C. over this 4th of July weekend, numerous blacks, including many black children were shot, and a large number died.

  - In 2016, 89.5% (2,570) of blacks who were murdered were killed by other blacks according to the FBI’s 2016 Crime in the United States report. That black on black murder rate will surely be higher this year.

  - In 2018, blacks, who are 13% of the US population, were convicted of 53% of the homicides and 60% of the robberies in the U.S .

  - In 2018, the black illegitimacy rate is now over 70% according to the Social Capital Project, and in 2018, 65% of black children were being raised in single parent households according to Kids Count Data Center.

  - In New York City from 2012-2016, more black babies were aborted (136,426) than black babies being born (118,127) according to the NYC Health Department.

  - In the U.S., black women, who are 13% of the female population, have 36% of the abortions according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

  - Black children all over the country in inner city union-controlled schools are getting a sub-standard education, and as a result, a substantial number of these black children have a completely inadequate education and are unprepared for a decent job or college.

  - In 2017-2018, black children had a lower high school graduation rate (79%) compared to whites (89%), Hispanics (81%), and Asian/Pacific Islanders (92%) according to the U.S. Department of Education.

  Cowardly Change of Policy in the UK

  by Slidin Fast in

  the britain branch has called a confidential meeting tonight with a controversial announcement.

  the message is of such import that it was transmitted by word of mouth only, nothing in writing, ears only.

  a decision made by the governing body of jehovah's witnesses and transmitted orally down the chain of command, a decision proving the leadership of this spirit lead body.. the gdpr laws in the uk have been interpreted by wt lawyers so that all record keeping relating to the public has been banned, telephone witnessing and letter writing also, forbidden.. now in a show of supreme bravado the publishers are to be informed that if they wish to, if they dare, they may write to people at their own risk.. bear in mind, nothing is in writing.

  If someone records it, they would have proof that their elders told them so. At least the local corporations and elders would be on the hook.

  Does Anybody Here Sympathize With The Looters That Cause Destruction?

  by minimus in

  i realize some here are diehard democrats.

  whether you are democrat, republican or independent, do you support any of these looters that cause mayhem and destruction for their cause?

  i have heard some people sympathize with these law breakers saying they understand why they do what they do and leave it at that.. of course i wonder how they would feel if their own property was burnt or stolen or destroyed..

  The Boston Tea Party was voted upon and executed by a de-facto new government, the British knew about it and let it go on. The tea was sitting there anyway, there is a lot more to the history of the Boston Tea Party than just some people throwing some stuff overboard, this was a self-established government militia.

  Basically if CHOP/CHAZ had succeeded to rule itself without killing anyone, they could've done similar things, a bloodless revolution is always helpful.

  Anyone know the org's view on the HPV vaccine?

  by careful in

  types of cancer.i've been wondering for some time what the current gb has said about witness parents giving the green light, or red light, to having their kids vaccinated against hpv (the human papillomavirus) since it is a sexually transmitted disease.

  it causes cervical and other types of cancer.

  the recommended age for vaccination is 8-12 years old.

  @WTwizard: vaccines do not cause autism, there is no scientific basis to that.

  The WTBTS is more concerned about whether the kid is actually doing something with their baby making parts than vaccination.

  It will probably end up being a “conscience matter” and they often copy contemporary Christian writers on these matters.

  As far as I know there is no outright or even an implied ban, as my daughter whose mother is PIMI has gotten it.

  Is the JW blood card a legal document without it being notorized

  Is it legal: off course it is. Is it enforceable is another question altogether and largely depends on your locale.

  If you sign it but not notarized or without witnesses that can represent your will, it may not be considered your wants in situations where people throw doubts on its veracity.

  In most cases signing is sufficient, but it may be overthrown in court if the document is not considered reasonable or if your caretaker says it was signed under duress or faked. This is more an issue if you have multiple contradictory documents.

  What is REALLY behind the destruction of the Postal Service? I decided to research it ...

  i don't know about you - but i never know when i'm being lied to or told the truth any longer.

  partisans are tribes warring on truth.

  i decided to see what i could find out historically and this is what i've come up with.

  Yes, that's why so many companies leverage third party 401k companies to invest the money in.

  The Postal Office and some other large parties (eg. GE and GM and the US Government) have historically refused to use a third party because they don't want to transfer the funds (as they still leverage these funds), thus for every employee you hire, when they're 18 or 20, if you promise them retirement (which USPS does, even for their most junior employee) you have to start funding their retirement.

  Retirement funds are basically a savings account for your employees, you can't say, I'll hire you today and I'll start fund your retirement from operational funds when you need it. There is compound interest. So if you promise $20 today and you DON'T FUND (which is what you're proposing), 40 years from now you have to start paying out $2000.

  Where do you think that money comes from? Taxpayer of course which will have to bail out these funds as they have been doing for the last 20-30 years, the USPS needs to make up a LOT of money as they still aren't fully funding their existing pension funds from retirement funds, they are STILL asking Congress for money to fund the current retirees. So yes, for every employee they hire today, they have to fund twice the amount of retirement to cover current and future retirees because compounded interest over the last 50 years.
