  Election Post-Mortem

  i'm sure many people, republicans included, are shocked at the results of the 2016 presidential election.

  really, wtf!.

  the polls were wrong and although it's tempting to blame voter suppression and fbi interference, that would just avoid looking at the real issues for the loss.

  I don't understand why this question was asked.

  Someone on this board who is from the UK assured me that folks in the UK have an absolute and complete grasp of the Electoral College because it is such a simple concept.

  Did you guys skip classes? C'mon, you DID, didn't ya?

  Hi NikL,

  Just for your information, _I_ am the person who first released most of that information in free digital format many years ago. Search this site for "Watchtower Bookshelf CD" if you are interested.

  I don't distribute anything for free anymore because I got tired of sending a free CD halfway around the world at my expense and then discovering that the person who got it was selling copies of his free CD on eBay.

  I digitized a lot of other stuff too, then was inspired by the author of "Captives of a Concept" (Don Cameron) to get into the "replica reprint" business.

  It's a GREAT way to make A LOT of MONEY FAST, if by " a lot" you mean $20 and by "fast" you mean twelve years. :)

  ...but I do it to meet chicks, and the occasional duck.

  OOPS!

  Checking your link, I see that is not my stuff. It looks like it may be material from the Bible Students, who still think that Chuck Russell was the cat's meow and that soon their loopy graphs will become relevant in the real world.

  The stuff I did was more 50s and 60s WTB&TS stuff.

  It is not too late to join the UADNA team!

  if people get left behind be careful

  by pepperheart in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in this world there are becoming two sorts of people the ones with stupid amounts of money and the ones with very little money and the people in charge are going to get even more shocks if they dont share the money out in a more fair way.ive seen in the press that obama will be getting a house that costs over $4 million dollars and how many people are having to live on basic wage.there is plenty of money going around its just not shared out enough,rather than a lottery giving out a prize of $50 or $100 million dollars just think how many people would be blessed if that was dividid in $50,000 prizes and there would be more chances to win as well.some people have to work for a whole year or even two to get that amount of money .

  Better yet, take $100 million dollars and give 100 million people $1 each.

  or divy it up to all 7 billion an let everyone go wild with almost one and a half cents!

  Hillary Clinton Winning total vote count but loses the Election

  by RubaDub in

  1. social
  2. current

  do those of you outside the usa find it odd that in a presidential election, the total number of people casting votes means nothing?

  there is a method we use here called the electoral college based on each state rather than the total votes cast by actual people.. this is, i believe the 5th time in america's history that the person with the most votes lost the election (the last was in 2000 when al gore beat george w. bush by about 400,000 votes but lost the election).. so hillary (at the moment i last checked) had overall about 200,000 more votes nationwide but lost.. i'm sure a lot of people in other countries scratch their heads when they see this happening.. rub a dub.

  Yes, RubaDub, but that's the way it is. If you want change, work for change. King Jesus got out of the fried-chicken delivery business sometime in the 50s. He ain't delivered nutthin' since!

  Yes Simon, but similar isn't identical. Do students in the UK actually waste their time studying the US political system in depth? I cannot think of a greater waste of time for them! US schools stopped teaching "civics" about the same time Jesus stopped delivering fried chicken.

  Is upstate New York a known Meca for cults?

  by StarTrekAngel in

  2. bible

  just wondering.

  some of the articles i've read, warwick city administrators claim their city is like 30% exempt due to a heavy presence of religious groups who are moving to the area.

  now i am watching the show "the path" and they too are in upstate ny.

  I didn't see any mention of Islamberg, a rural hamlet in the town of Tompkins, Delaware County, New York.

  Probably because it is shameful to suggest they are a cult.

  Deposit, NY is a reported location of a enclave run by Muslims of the Americas. The organization is headquartered at Islamberg in New York and is led by a radical cleric in Pakistan named Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani.

  A 2004 report funded by the Justice Department identifies Deposit as having a “training compound” for Muslims of the Americas (MOA).

  Internal FBI records confirm that MOA members have been involved in at least 10 murders, one disappearance, three firebombings, one attempted firebombing, two explosive bombings and one attempted bombing.

  A religion of peace.

  I would not require nor expect that anyone outside the USA who is not a Poli-sci major would have the slightest understanding of how the Electoral college works.

  And why should that ignorance be a basis for condemning the Electoral College?

  If you want to change the system, get to work. Rabble-rousing is not work.

  As He sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of Thy coming and of the end of the world?”

  And Jesus answered and said unto them, “Take heed that no man deceive you; for many shall come in My name, saying, ‘I am Christ,’ and shall deceive many.

  And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that ye be not troubled, for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
