Truthseeker; I would suggest that next time you tell such a person the following:
"It is you who are losing your live(s), year by year, as long as you remain in that religion."
it was a beautiful, sunny day.
i was in the supermarket doing an early morning shop when i see an old friend of the family, a jw sister.. she asked me if i'd gone to the memorial and i told her no.
she said that the end is so close what with all the earthquakes and brother truthseeker, you need to come back to jehovah otherwise you will die and so will your children.

yeah i thought the 4-some thing would hook some of you guys in lol!.
she is about 24 and has three other gay jw roommates and has for a few years.
virtually everyone knows they are gay.
I knew a JW woman and her roommate who had Lesbo written on their foreheads. The woman had a lesby roommate(s) for decades until she was finally disfellowshipped. When you come to think of it, it's hard to "'prove' lesbianism even by Witchtower standards.
This woman was so devout that she even made a serious joke to an elder about shooting me. I am an apostate with a huge reputation in my local area; she works as a US Marshall and both her and the elder lived in my apartment building. She was so afraid of me that I would spook her whenever she ran into me, without seeing that I was there until the last moment..
On one occasion I happened to be walking by her as she and three Sisters where in field service. I not only startled her but she reflexively raised her arm to her purse. That is a giveaway for armed women who are not in uniform (Their gun is in their purse not their hips).
Her roommate finally abandoned her and she fell apart. After she was disfellowshipped she would would give me the biggest, most euphoric smile. Go figure.
By the way, Oompa; do these girls need an extra roommate?
here you go ladies, a good christian man.
every christian womans fantasy.
you just better make sure you keep quiet.
How the Israelites treated their ladies.

Bizzy-Bee:
"Those who attempt to draw an equivalency with birtherism on the one hand and criticism of Bush on the other, still forget that criticism of Bush was based on Bush's policies, doctrines and governance - not on his legitimacy to hold the office of POTUS.
The (continuing) attempt to de-legitimize this president has no precedent in American history. It is disingenuous to argue that this smear campaign bears no connection to racism."
What you described, Bizzy, is known as a false equivalency.
These people are like a bully who hits his victim over and over again and when his victim responds to his assault with a modest push the bully says, "You see; you see! That's why you deserve to be beaten up."
i was thinking about this while staring blankly at the assembly speaker today.
a prestigious member of the gb.
o joy.
Of course; narcissistic, xenophobic, Jehovah's Witnesses do believe that God helps
"Worldly" people.
He helps them to become Jehovah's Witnesses.
growing up a witness, and having black friends and and relatives.
i was kind of in the dark as to what being a raciest was really based on.
so as i get older and think about it more, i thought it might be an interesting question to discuss what you think makes a person raciest and how they base this thinking.. i am going to use the african american racism in this example, as i think that more then any other group.
Sam Whiskey:"Simple statistics of White Vs. Black in Prison..."
Simple explanation of simple minded statistics about blacks and whites in prison.
Now that wasn't complicated; was it?
during the decades in which i was a jw, so many times i heard comments about how the wtbts is the only organization that god is directing here on earth today.
in fac there was a popular story in the late 70's about how the us army once came to a district assembly to observe, and learn how to better organize large groups of people.
( i remember the speaker commenting on how many attendee's thought the tribulation was starting because the army was there.
Bungi Bill:"It all comes down to "We are the only organization that God is using, because we say we are."
Bill; I'm afraid it's much more complicated than that.

We have a lot of people here who love Obama's politics like mothers milk, and have a pathological hatred of anyone who is critical of him.
Post #4755:
"However, the off topic comments (hate of Republicans, ad-hominem attacks, etc.) do very well illustrate that this is about extreme political views rather than legitimate charges of "racism"."
It seems, James, that you are not aware of the fact that you made the very first statement about hatred before somebody else responded to it.
Whatever any one else may or may not have responded, I made my response quite clear. It seems that you have a problem parsing. Here are my statements once more:
From Terra Incognita's Post #174:
James_woods:
On a thread titled "Were Trump's comments about Obama Racist" you just posted "whether or not Donald Trump is being racist is irrelevant" - and then go on in the next sentence to imply that he is essentially racist.
James; it is clear that it is your statement that is "fractured". My next sentence, which you did not quote, clearly DOES NOT state or IMPLY that Trump is racist. It obviously states that he is pandering to an audience that is substantially racist. Here is my statement again:
"Jeff; whether or not Donald Trump is being racist is irrelevant. He is definitely a demagogue who panders tothe prejudices of his audience, whichis substantially racist."
As for the title of the thread, James, you obviously did not notice the question mark at the end of the sentence. That's obvious because in your quote of the title you did not include a question mark. Since the statement is in the form of a question, it is obviously asking for the poster's opinion of whether or not Trump is racist. I gave my opinion. My opinion is: "whether or not Donald Trump is being racist is irrelevant."
How clearer can that get?
harold camping has promised that the rapture will be on may 21, 2011.. .

"We've got an election coming up here soon..........Us Canucks get to choose between the Progressive Conservatives or the Liberals, which is like choosing if you want sores in your mouth or sores on your ass. Both parties suck dead rocks and you know full well that no matter who gets in, they're going to f*ck things up."
Mary; I agree. I'm neither Republican, Democrat, Moderate nor Independent. I won't put up, though, with people who smash windows; make terrorist threats; and call for insurrection and civil war if they don't win an election. I utterly despise people who go around acting like a bunch of brown shirt candidates doing a dress rehearsal for their future.
As for me, there's nothing to celebrate with beer and KFC when I see the equivalent of proto Nazis in the Weimar Republic vying for control.
