  Amazon deleted the books from your Kindle if you already owned them. This is a digital book burning. Libraries and schools are removing them as well. The President of the United States, who is supposed to uphold the first amendment, is removing it by statute.

  This isn’t a McRib, you can reproduce a McRib, I can buy the meat and the sauce separately or make it from scratch at home. You can’t (legally) copy a book hence why book burning are so insidious.

  Other left wing groups that burned books in the past were Nazis and Communists, even before they got to power through semi-Democratic ways, but they didn’t shy away from violence (compare Antifa/BLM) and cancel culture (compare the Nazi term Lugenpresse) that is the way we are going in the US.

  @Jeffro: don’t you think labeling a source solely because it doesn’t agree with your political viewpoint is very close to saying that they are “apostates” and therefore no argument they make, regardless if it is correct or not, can be trusted.

  You claimed a secondary source, I claimed a primary source, you claim a secondary source with clearly distorted language, which does not dispute but rather editorializes the primary source is more trustworthy because the primary source is run by your political “apostate”.

  If you can claim a primary source where CocaCola says that they did not run the class and/or that the primary sources somehow fabricated their evidence (there are screenshots). They claimed ipso facto it being available in their training regiment that it does not mean mandatory (why would you green-light unverified, racist training module as a corporation that large is beyond me), but there are 3 witnesses that says it was.

  I already said, it is entirely possible, training is not mandatory for all employees but that some managers may have exceeded their authority. Again, where does Coca Cola state that they have reprimanded the managers that forced the training on these employees?

  @Jeffro: the NY Post is one of the oldest newspapers founded by Alexander Hamilton. They are one of the few seriously journalistic investigating papers with one of the largest readership.

  Look at their front page and look at the ratio of real vs useless celeb (tabloid) news, it’s better than Fox or CNN to say the least. I think the front page style of its paper (large photos with big text) indeed resembles a tabloid but they literally have a picture of Cuomo sexually harassing a subordinate on the front page, which is not tabloid news. The artistic style is a reason they (and tabloids) do so well, they don’t try to bury interesting stories such as Hunter Biden’s real pictures from his real laptop.

  @Wingcommander: that’s exactly why they got tossed out of the Royal Family though. As a Royal, you cannot openly opine on a particular political issue, there’s all sorts of things they should shy away from, the queen understands that politics is only a 5-10 year cycle, while they have preserve themselves politically for millennia. Meghan didn’t want to keep her dumb mouth shut and spouted woke propaganda everywhere. So they were tossed out so they could keep telling everyone what to do.

  Are parables literal or not?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  “bible illustrations [parables] have more than one aspect.

  they … often have a prophetic meaning and application.

  moreover, some had a prophetic meaning for the time when they were spoken or shortly thereafter, and some were to have, in addition, a fulfillment in the distant future.” (insight on the scriptures (1988), wtbts, vol 1, pp.

  I heard somewhere recently that a lot of ancient stories, such as those written in a book like the Bible often were written to avoid scrutiny of the ruling class. Likewise you would tell stories where the primary point was not the facts or accuracy thereof, but the moral of the story. The entire Old Testament was written during a time where the facts were not as important as the meaning. Thus you had devices such as parables and revelation to actually comment, discuss and criticize the politics and issues of the day.

  For example the Book of Revelation by John of of Patmos is a thinly veiled critique of the Romans, religion and in particular Nero. Jesus told a lot of parables but they all can be interpreted to criticize the Jewish leadership and religious practices and promote more Roman and Greek ideals and reinterpretations of Judaism.

  And yes, a lot of those were prophetic, but anyone alive back then knew the way Romans dealt with rebellions and rebellion was seething amongst the Jews at the time, hence why Jesus said to pay back to Caesar etc. The whole region was a powder keg, “of that day and hour knoweth no man” is easily interpreted as “the Romans are coming at some point [to put down this rebellion], only God knows when”. It seems Jesus across all those parables is telling people to prepare for a siege and to stop putting faith in the old Judaic ways since God won’t save them, the stories of the Old Testament were just moral stories and people understood that.

  @jeffro: perhaps read an actual journalistic piece: https://nypost.com/2021/02/23/coca-cola-diversity-training-urged-workers-to-be-less-white/

  Multiple whistleblowers did allege it was required, the training in question was subsequently removed and DiAngelo herself said the training from CocaCola was in fact edited from the public LinkedIn training Snopes refers to.

  Again, nowhere does CocaCola claim they didn’t provide the training and it is definitely likely some managers with left leanings required it. At best Snopes is trying to intentionally confuse the facts by not citing the multiple sources and only representing one side of the story by only going with what is in the LinkedIn training and taking a vague corporate statement at face value.

  @Jeffro. How did they rate it as mixture when they admit in the first sentence that the images are authentic. Coca Cola denied that it was “required”, they didn’t deny the training didn’t happen, yet Snopes makes it seem like the training never happened or they couldn’t corroborate the evidence they themselves posted on their website and which Coca Cola admitted they provided the training.

  Coca-Cola's diversity, equity, and inclusion training contained slides which read "Try to be less white."
  

  
  

  Screenshots shared widely in February 2021 were authentic snapshots of a real online course on LinkedIn, featuring Robin DiAngelo and entitled "Confronting Racism."

  @IOWN thats what she chose to do though. If you want to be a princess, you have to do the job of a princess. Meghan is a self entitled brat, grown up in a place where everything got given to her, went to a low grade school for an easy degree to get herself even more entitled.

  I think the queen was right on this one: strip them from their titles and the free money. She is an old style parent, if you want to be brats, get out to the house and find yourself a job.

  JW Net and Politics

  by snare&racket in

  this site was and remains instrumental in assisting people that want to leave the jw's.. there has been political discussion here for some time now, a good couple of years and it makes me feel a little uneasy.

  i just opened up the site for the first time in some weeks, of the 10 posts being discussed, 4 were by the same poster, about politics, promoting their right wing beliefs.. this has been the trend for some time now, the same name behind a peppering of posts stirring the right v left of politics.. i remain forever grateful to the site and it's founders simon & angharad, i appreciate that simon shares some of these these political beliefs.

  it would be a shame to see the site evolve from a place for jw freedom of thought and escape, to political squabbling, that the world is frankly tired of right now.. just to clarify, politics is my hobby, whilst my friends read the football scores, i'm reading polling data.

  As I said before. This site is about all things you do if you’re not a JW. I’ve had discussions about sex and kink and politics and families and children and house renovations.

  Right now, the left has made politics an issue in everything. Go to school - left wing politics, go to an event - left wing politics, sports, marriage, social media everything is permeated with left wing politics.

  For those of us that escaped JW-ism, current left wing views are very much akin to the WTBTS - you can’t say anything negative about their leaders, they are always right, the viewpoints change by the day and leadership can be as abusive and hypocritical as they want, raping children as in the case of Weinstein, Epstein and Clinton, creepy rapists like Biden and Cuomo but you say something bad about them or BLM or Antifa and you WILL GET FIRED from your job and removed from society as what happened recently to Gina Carano or that guy from Bachelor or Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs or a host of other people.

  So if everything is about politics, it makes sense that people on a largely anonymous site would like to speak their minds. The majority of people in this world does not like BLM or the anti-west viewpoints espoused by those on the left, but we need a place to speak.

  his father and mine were relatively close and both abusive tyrants.

  he wrote this autobiography in the style of a romance novel (changing the characters) but i know the story is personal.
