  It’s a sad thing you shared with us. I hope your family finds an exit from the cult.

  hillary is very supportive of doing whatever it takes to undermine trump.

  I didn't like Hilary, but on the continuum, Trump is so low that I'd prefer her.

  I work with a socially and economically conservative person who is extremely wealthy. He knows her personally and after the election, when he lost any possibility of benefiting from his association with a incumbent (as we mostly felt she was until election night) he told me reasons that he loves and respects her as a person. None of them will be in headlines or if so, would be considered as a thing done for optics. She did a lot of good for people who could do nothing beyond their vote for her. She was kind and generous when no one was writing a story of taking a picture.

  I don't know her. This is me and my friend is one person who knows her well. I'm not saying I think she's all that and a bag of chips, but I don't think she is the evil female portrayed by the right wing media.

  The man was a longtime conservative who has known her for about 12 years. He voted for her because he had no other viable option. He knows trump for a bit longer and never imagined that he'd make that decision. But he has done business with trump so there's a different perspective.

  It's funny because he would personally benefit from a strong conservative leader, but he sees trump as a man who's out for his #1. Which would be trump. He doesn't think he's good at all.

  Yep. This is hearsay. I know the integrity of my business associate though.

  I'm still surprised that he won. i wish anyone else had won, but it's still america. So far.

  Yeah, some stereotypes rub me the wrong way. Carpentry and gardening. I loved working in shop with dad, rebuilt engines, went hunting and fishing and my hetero creds are well established and firm. My dad was a carpenter and iron worker was also an avid gardener and baker (awesome at it). My uncle who was in army 20 years crochets avidly. He collects eagle paraphernalia and has flamingos and trolls in his yard and looks like a biker. Not gay or in denial. Just an individual.

  Wasanelderonce has the most effective response for your 13 year old self. "No." Is something you likely need to be in a more independent position to get away with in the J. W world.

  Here is something you will learn the value of as you get older:

  "No." It's a complete sentence.

  Sarah Huckabee Sanders Kicked Out Of Restaurant For Supporting Trump

  by minimus in

  i think it’s ridiculous to kick people and families out of a restaurant because of politics.

  Justifying the restaurants actions by bullying about looks (whatever it was we were supposed to look at that meant she didn’t need her meal with friends) pisses me off. Picking on presidents for dumbass stuff he does, fine. Picking on anyone for the way they look as a justification of idiocy seems so weak. I don’t think much of her job position and yada yada, but why go petty?

  I personally think she’s sticking to it out of pure stubbornness (she quits and she’ll still get crap for it) and a great expose book eventually.

  i found this gem in the watchtower online library that now goes further back than the year 2000 publications.

  an extra bit of evidence for those cult members that deny that their governing body gods lied to them.. even a lapel card was printed for all attendees to wear (see my avatar).

  kingdom ministry 1970 july in the announcements section.. ◆ a new circuit assembly program is scheduled to begin in september.

  My earliest childhood memories are the late 60s and more so the early 70s. This crap is etched in my consciousness.

  I think others were having more fun in that era than little JWs who had an awareness that loved ones would soon be destroyed.

  My worst memory of 1972 should be polyester and gas lines -which I liked because until we moved practically next door to the hall, we missed a lot of meetings. Poverty paid off!

  firstly, i want to be crystal clear how grateful i am for jwn.

  it's been my place of support for over seventeen years and it's the first online space i direct anyone to if they are taking steps out of the cult.

  i am not bashing jwn - i love this place and appreciate the hard work and expense simon puts in to keep it going.
