  Questions concerning Deng Xiaoping

  by fulltimestudent in

  on another thread band on the run requested that i answer certain questions she put to me concerning deng xiaoping.

  i requested another thread for that, one wasn't started so i start it myself.. i see the questions are reasonable, at least for someone who (admittedly) claims to know little about china, and i have no issues about answering them.

  like all humans deng xiaoping, is a mix of good things and not so good things.. in telling deng's story, i have no wish to distort history, i see no reason to tell "outright lies about the past, or to omit facts that may lead to unacceptable conclusions or to gloss over anything with a quiet, slight admission that is buried by some other detail.

  Being a full time student is understandable. But the Chinese? Always liked their food. Manhattan has the best. Many get three stars in the New York Times.

  I was passing time for a dental appointment. In Chinatown of all places. Reading a magazine about ginkgo balboa. Rocky's cousin? Don't know. Neither here nor there. Green curry.

  A small book fell on my lap. It was Quotations from the Chairman. Little red book. One would have no clue that it is the Chinese. It was formatted so professionally. My heart started beating more quick! Ha!

  Texting for return visits or sitting 30 feet from their Devil Carts sipping a Starbucks Grande Frappuccino, no doubt

  New "faith-shaking announcement" theory:

  In an unprecedented partnership with Starbucks, the society will be auctioning off prime "Cart witnessing" territory at all Starbucks locations.

  Cart in a Sbucks goes to the highest bidder.

  I played this game with my wife the other week: Guess the cult.

  I cue up a video from one of the three and see how long it takes for her to figure it out!

  About 10 years ago, the corporation I used to work for started "consolidating": selling off properties and moving more people into one building. Longer commutes for many people.

  This was certainly not done because the business was thriving.

  i came across this after posting another iq video to a different topic.

  interesting how much the jehovahs witnesses are featured ... but it is because they are a millenial cult with failed rapture prophecies:.

  yesterday, my wife was getting ready for the kh and told the kids that they had to get ready too.

  i figured, oh well, they're heading to the hall at least i can get the time i need to catch up on some house work and what not.

  before i know it, the wife gave up and allowed the kids to stay.

  The Quran(which Muslims believe is from God) teaches about hijab. It is open to interpretation in how one implements it.

  Yeah, this is something that bothers me about all of the books god writes.

  You'd think he could write something a little less ambiguous, not so open to interpretation.

  Hell, attorneys do it all of the time!

  How about making the announcement that a publisher who is innactive more than one year has "disasscociated himself" and is to be treated like he's DFed.

  Yes, DFTS, 3RDGEN has an interesting hypothesis. . . .

  Not so much a "test of faith" as far as how much more doctrinal bullshit you can handle. . . .

  Or how much more money they want to squeeze you for. . . .

  But they just want YOU. Your devotion. They want you serving them regularly, or you're out.

  I think a huge change in literature, e.g. combining the WT and Asleep! into a JW.org magazine would be significant. . .

  And it would make sense to implement/announce this in the US branch. . . .

  But is that something that would test one's faith?

  "No more public WT? Boo-Hoo! My faith is shattered!"
