with just a little over a month left, do you think there are many undecideds?
?.
I see more Trump signs than ever before. Biden, not so much.
Just like 4 years ago. In my travels then, I would literally see at least 10 Trump signs to 1 Hillary sign.
I live in a mostly "blue" state and can honestly say that in this election cycle, I rarely see a Joe Biden sign. I do however see plenty of Trump signs.

Racism will never end. There are just too many people profiting from it.
BLM is now a multi million dollar organization. So called “Diversity” speakers are making a fortune teaching “diversity” to corporations. What about the media? The media absolutely loves to report racism. Not just organizations like CNN, but organizations like Fox News as well. Racism=Ratings, which=profits.
Nope, racism isn’t going anywhere soon.
yes those are the undeniable facts regarding this religious organization.. these men took the return of christ as a commercial commodity and sold that to the public through the literature they published.
the doctrines they used (c t russell, j rutherford ) to accomplish this feat wasn't actually their own, they were plagiarized by other turn of the century bible speculators who were selling their own pieces of literature.
the end times, the last days, this generation were all propagated to make the notion that armageddon was coming soon in are life time and this actually started by these charlatans back in the late 1800's.. so there you have it easy to understand and clarified even more as time has progressed.
Oh Please!! ALL religions were started as a way to 1) Make Money, 2) Control the Masses, 3) gain political and social influence, and 4) make even MORE money.
Not ONE religion is exempt from that. Even YOURS. They are ALL full of sh*t and con artists.
i sat in recently with some relatives for the sunday meeting.
the talk was given by a bethel speaker, who at one point quoted john 20:25.
“but he said to them: “unless i see in his hands the print of the nails and stick my finger into the print of the nails and stick my hand into his side, i will never believe it.”.
Oh I'm sorry. I thought this was a discussion board where we get to express our opinions on all tjhings JW.
The intent of my post is that the witnesses are the ones who started this cross vs torture stake debate. It was done mostly to keep themselves separate from christendom. And I was just expressing MY opinion that I think the whole arguement or debate on this subject that the Witnesses started is a complete and utter waste of time. If Jesus dies for our sins, then what difference does it make to anybody if there was a crossbeam or not on the device he was nailed to? The device he died on is totally unimportant. The end result is the same....Jesus died for our sins.
I'm sorry if I didn't play by your rules or neglected to look at what ":catagory" this topic was supposed to be in. I guess using the Hottest or Latest buttons at the top of the page is not the approved way of viewing all the topics on this site.
I guess I have to be careful on what topics I comment on here. Just like being back in the KH. I guess I have to censor myself here too.
I'll ask for your approval next time before I comment. Is that better???????

by a split second rescuing our handicapped son from being pushed down the stairs by a flood of sisters rushing out to see as the drama had started.. the main offender being a special pioneer..
3 words.
Veterans Stadium, Philadelphia.
Anybody who ever went to a District Convention there will immediately understand.
one black sister would always slam the jews when there was anything on the radio or tv about the palestinian's.
i knew others who had other ideas that were strange and not neutral as we were told to be.
the black sister would dress like she was from africa in a dashiki robe from time to time.
i play scrabble all the time.
i guess they are getting rid of any racist type words.
damn, i wonder if i can still use blackface.
I don’t know which is worse, the people who make a boatload of money race baiting and coming up with this crap, or the weak minded fools who follow them.
there have been a number of threads touching on this before, leolaia for one, back in the day when we had many an erudite poster, showed the pagan origins of many things, including the passover , and by extension, the jw " memorial".. what prompted my thought on this was a conversation i had the other day with a young lady, never a jw, who said the jw stance on birthday celebrations, was groundless and cruel.. i thought later that jw's do a " pick and mix " as usual, as they do with so many other things, on what they condemn as "pagan" and what they accept and practice.. the institution of marriage itself is pagan, marriages were performed long before the bible was written, and long before the nation of israel was formed.
yet jw's perform marriages, use the veil, and the ring, all pagan.
the names of the days of the week, the months of the year, all pagan.. i guess you guys can think of many more things ?
The days of the week named after gods.
The months of the year too
I seem to remember reading somewhere that at one time, the Society even proposed to change the names of the Months of the year because the names of the months have pagan origins.
One of the months was supposed to be named "Jehovah", but can't remember the other names they proposed. Can't remember where I read this either.
system of things comes to mind.
what does that mean to anyone not a jw?.
how long have you been in the truth?
Just off the top of my head
Persecution
Great Tribulation

Sexual Immorality
