I agree with your first paragraph Simon.
As for the 2nd, until you are willing to go to a Muslim land and openly break sharia law it has no credibility.

She definitely comes across as dignified. And she is physically attractive-though I don’t see the need for emphasis on this since the contents of a person’s character is far more important in politics.
Her public appearances with her husband come across as awkward-to say the least.
It can’t be easy being married to a narcissist.

King of The North: circular news top?
by Gorbatchov infriends,.
with the circular speading of my satire tread about the annual meeting on many different ways, even informal across the jw organization, i'm pretty sure that the news about russia (new king of the north) is not real.. there was a moment i thought that it was a coïncidence that incoming messages mentioned it also.. now i suppose it started all with my op, went trending through the organization (even through bethel belgium) and became a story on it's own.. this is not realy my style and i'm not proud of it.. g..

The 'king-of-the-north is part of Daniel's ravings, not Ezekiel's.
Yes but the borg is claiming that the king of the north is the same thing as Ezekiel’s gog of Magog..if I read it right..

I messaged Lloyd earlier to point this post out to him and he asked me to share this:
Great thanks. If you could just pass on the following: "I'm very grateful that this has been drawn to my attention. The information was passed on to our team by a someone who was a trusted source and was included in the show notes from which I was reading during the recording. I'm mortified to learn that the information isn't accurate because we pride ourselves on accuracy and truthfulness, so I am taking steps to edit out the relevant parts of the show as I hate the thought of misleading anyone. We're looking into what happened and what we can do to stop this from happening again in the future, but I sincerely apologise about this and I'm glad this can be acted on relatively quickly."

I expect Gorby’s piece was shared on various platforms before it was labelled satire. Once fake news takes root mix ups happen.
Cedar’s work is on the whole excellent. A longtime friend of mine recently woke up to ttatt because of his videos.

Banners for London Protest
by Farmer Jim1 inhi folks, i’m attending the london protest at the excel convention in august and am making some banners.
i’m aiming for short but memorable sentences that will stick in jws minds and also make them laugh a little at their own organisation.. my best so far is ‘this is not a protest, it’s an overlapping protest’.
has anyone got any ideas for more?.

Who Is America? Sacha Baron Cohen (Ambush humor--what do you think?)
by TerryWalstrom inthere have been many tv programs all the way back to candid camera which set people up for pranks.
it was all in good fun and the results were shown only if a legal release was signed allowing the prank to be broadcast.getting permission after-the-fact was essential, otherwise, you've wasted your efforts.ahhhh, but what about public figures who are legally exempted from the necessary "permission" form agreement?is an ambush set-up fair or even ethical?the answer we give depends on how much we love or hate the victim!if we really, really dislike certain public figures there's a tendency to want to see them embarrassed and exposed as buffoons, idiots, hypocrites, and fools.on the other hand, consider this.
in a nation as divided as is america along color lines, political factions, and social "correctness" concerns--are we lighting a fuse by going too far?____why am i asking this question?i watched this preview and found myself torn.

Do You Think The Mayor of London Is Doing a Good Job?
by minimus inhis city seems pretty dangerous especially since he has taken over and of course he just loves trump.

But blaming the mainstream Muslims because of the brainwashed radicals is not the right way forward. More Muslims are dead because of radical Islam than any other group. And let us not forget the uncomfortable truth that western policy in the Middle East; the illegal Iraq war, the bombing campaign that destabilised Asssad and incubated isis, are responsible for hundreds of thousands of Muslim deaths.
The mayor is a mainstream peaceful Muslim.
Simon your quote of him above should be read in context. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2017/mar/29/misleading-qa-question-on-sadiq-khan-should-have-been-corrected-abc-admits

I doubt any London mayor has been discussed on this forum with such interest before. The only reason this one is being discussed is because he is a Muslim.
The British have lived side by side with Muslim communities for many decades- in peace. The current climate of hatred against Muslims will not lead to anything good certainly not a fair and just society.
The level of paranoia in the minds of Adolf Trumps brainwashed followers is unbelievable. - that was for blownaway.
It would be sadly ironic if this anger and fear against Muslims is itself what leads to violance among communities.
We have nothing to fear except fear itself. - someone famous said that.

I’m off to see it on Thursday in Bristol, England. There is a q and a after the show with the producer. Initially, I wasn’t interested simply because I wanna try and forget about the cult but there is SO much interest in the xdub community locally that I decided to go along with a group.
