Prof M. James Penton personal thoughts on Jehovah's Witnesses.
i don’t know a lot about james penton but i think he deserves a better thread than the one currently on offer.
james penton, who died recently, grew up in a jw family in canada and served as an elder.
unusually for a jw, he studied liberal arts at university and became a history professor.

Jim started and incorporated a publishing house called Hart Publishing in Canada and published the book recently entitled Rutherford's Coup.
i am non political and have never voted but nonetheless i have been keenly watching to see how the trump presidential race unfolds.
i believe that his involvement in propelling or influencing a leaning toward bible prophecy will unfold.
how, i can’t say but something tells me that this anomaly and outlier being trump is highly signifiant!
Sad but true, Trumpolini, wins the electoral vote.
Eph. 6:11 "Put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s schemes."
my only prowess in making predictions stems from my 77-years of life in the united statesgrowing up under president truman, eisenhower, kennedy, nixon, .....etc.
etc.i was a widdle kid sitting in front of a tiny black and white tv set when the very first broadcastsof political conventions, deal-making, debates (nixon vs kennedy), assassinations (jfk, rfk, martin luther king, etc.
) i grew up with duck and cover under my elementary schooldesk, the cold war, the iron curtain, the korean war, the vietnam war and i went to federal prisonas a jw conscientious objector while hippies, flower children, political activists protested and universitystudents were fired up on by troops.i grew up reading newspapers (2 of them).
Welllllll....
I couldn't have been more wrong in my predictions.
So eating crow for breakfast this morning.
Not tasty but hoping for better times.
Let the chaos continue.
4 year of horrorshow.
or Khorosho sadly.

Harris will win.
Trumpy supporters won't like it.
Trumpolini will cry foul.
Some will get in trouble with the law, like last time but not as bad.
Things will return to a stable sense of unease--again.
GOP big wigs will realize just how much of a loser Trumpolini really is.
Poor ol' Trumpolini will have to face the many indictments against him and he will end up in a cushy prison for white crime felons, broke and forgotten.
That is the most probable scenario.

Well said Balaamsass2.
History seems cyclical and humans doomed to keep making the same mistakes over and over.
Personally, I believe Trumpolini will lose, because he is a big loser and needs to be fired from the political scene.
If Trumpolini wins it may only be that he gets the electoral points not the popular vote, like he did last time.
a comedian in a comedy sketch at a trunp rally joked that the island of puerto rico is a floating island of garbage.. what to do???
potus pappy joe to the rescue!!
he sounds the alarm, comes out swinging and calls trump supporters, actual people, garbage.. .
Trumpolini supporters Don't Deserve To Be Called Garbage!!!
That said Trumpolini is still running scared and that's why he's using so many expletives against his opponent.
I believe Trumpy is going to loose big time. His Trumpy followers won't like it one bit and they'll cry foul again. Maybe the GOP will go back to its senses after that.

That guy in the cartoon with a 2x4 in His eyesocket looks like a younger Tony Morriss III.
about a month ago, some unknown poster who looked like one of those guys with a tin foil hat posted on a youtube video that north korea soldiers were landing on russia, during the night, armed to the teeth.
he was making these crazy comments that north korea had committed to help russia fight against nato and that they were getting ready to use nukes against nato countries if nato started using them first.
in less the an hour the video was taken down.
Don't Trump supporters care about democracy and the rule of law? Don't they care about the Cconstitution? I guess not so much when they support dictators and proven enemies of the United States. Trump only cares about himself. He doesn't seem to care if he steps all over the Cconstitution to get his way. But, what can one expect from someone whose longest lasting chief of staff called him a fascist.
Trumpolini ain't gonna drain no swamp, he's the swamp monster himself and loves the putrid muck in Washington and the fetid stench of Nazi fashion politicking!
remember 1975?
maybe when you were a kid - like i was?
i will celebrate 01.10.2025 the 50th anniversary of the "end of 6000 years of human history and the immediate end of the world".
We have Freddie Franz to thank for all the 6000 year hoopla nonsense that never amounted to anything real.
Happy mid-centennial anniversary!
