Very insightful. This poster strikes at the heart of the matter, ISIS is made up by Muslims. ISIS kills fellow Muslims for not being Muslim enough to suit them.

Straight from a Muslim: Who is to blame for ISIS?
by steve2 inthe message below was posted from a friend in singapore to me on friday 14th november 2015. my friend is not the author - but is an acquaintance of the author.
the post was subsequently "deleted" due to acute religious and political sensitvities in that city-state - but i can vouch for its authenticity.
my friend made a hard copy of the post - hence when the post was removed, a copy remained.. i have removed the author's name for obvious reasons.

We used to get 4 sets of magazines, plus 2 study editions. Normally I threw away 4 sets of magazines. This occured after they accumulated for several months. I would bury them in the trash, just in case any JW's stopped by and saw them.
Our congregation was periodically asked to take a count of how many we actually used and adjust our order downward. It was obvious that the WTBTS was anxious about printing so many that weren't placed.

Do you need Art and Music in your life?
by The Rebel inmusic and art have been a big part of my life since i was a little boy, and although i was never able to play a decent guitar, i can paint.
my art teacher from college said " i was the most imaginative and constructive pupil she had ever had.
" i loved that comment, because in translation i realised it meant i had to work harder than other more naturally talented students, but the effort was always worth it.

Music-No, I've always loved the sounds heard when all man made sounds disappear. It is wonderful to sit on my patio in the summer and listen to the bees humming in the flowers, birds twittering in trees, squirrels chattering. Human noises physically hurt my ears, they seem to pulsate and it hurts.
Art is another matter, architecture, paintings, interior design, sculptures and such are important to me.

Lee,
You have a pm. The incident I referred to would have been written up in the Express-Times of Easton, PA, if it made the newspaper.

Are You Easily Offended? ðŸ˜
by minimus ini'm sick and tired of everyone claiming to be "offended".
if you are not politically correct, you will need to apologize for some perceived slight.. when i was an elder, i purposely avoided as much as i could, anybody that got easily offended.

Rebel-I had to look up 'Gollywog'. It reminds me of a Raggedy Ann doll, except she has red hair. I'm offended that no one has been offended for red-heads who are offensively represented by a stylized red yarn-haired doll.

Discussion with a Pioneer: CONCLUSION
by Saved_JW indeity of jesus.
the final part of our discussion took us back to the very beginning where he was asking my christian friend a question about the trinity.
i wasn't convinced that david received an answer that was satisfying [essentially its a mystery, god is too big to understand etc..] i wanted to talk about that more.

You almost have me convinced and I consider myself an atheist!

Which bible character do you hate the most?
by Bonsai inthe more i think about it, the more i feel an extreme dislike for the apostle paul.
he was on par with hitler in his treatment of the jews before he "saw the light".
he replaced jesus teachings of love and mercy with a more legalistic, pharisaical concept of devotion to god.. any evil person can come to believe in god and worship him if the scales were literally and miraculously removed from his eyes.

The guy who forced his sex slave (concubine) to return home with him after she ran off and left him. He wined and dined with her father, then set off on the journey home. Along the way, he stopped over night. The locals wanted his ass (literally) and instead he gives his sex slave to them to do whatever it is that they want to her. She crawls back to the door of where he is staying after being repeatedly raped and violated. He gets up, opens the door and tells her to get up as they are continuing on their journey. Shock of shocks she is dead. He then decides to further violate her by dismembering her corpse and sending the pieces to the various tribes of Israel.
Nice guy-no wonder she ran away from him. Life with him must have been unbearable. She knew him to be the pig he was.

Ulysses S. Grant-He championed civil rights at a time when doing so was taboo. He appointed African Americans to high government offices, attempted peaces with Native Americans (he made a mistake in trying to include them in Euro-American style culture to the detriment of their own, but he was trying have them accepted by the mainstream Euro-Americans.) He attempted to right the wrongs of the 1862 order that he drafted against the Jews during the Civil War and actually became an advocate for them.
He also signed into law the first National Park, Yellowstone. Without his protection, it would have probably would have been turned into an oil field by now.

Suicide or Real Freedom? - My Story As One Of Jehovah's Witnesses
by dubstepped in"sometimes i think the only thing i could do that wouldn't upset someone would be to kill myself.".
those were the frustrated words of my friend as we stood out in his large yard in the country, just about to enjoy a nice bonfire on a beautiful night.
what was it that could have been a lesser evil than killing himself?

dubstepped- an excellent, insightful post. Thanks for the book references on ADHD, they sound like something that would help me. It is wonderful that you now have a loving outlook on life and the lives of others. Also, your financial success is empowering. Congratulations on you and your wife getting out and getting into a more positive life. -
