Bohm that is exactly what the commission does, it creates binding regulations and it determines all legislative proposals. But you are wrong it is not 'democratically' elected by the 'people'. Effectively the people's elected representatives do not get any determination on policy.

One Thing I Don't Get About Brexit
by JW_Rogue inhow did such a weighty decision get put directly in the hands on the average citizen?
and with only a simple majority required?
in the usa the biggest thing that people vote on directly is city building projects or infrastructure.

The EU commission is not democratically elected yet i believe it has the power to create regulations which are automatically legally binding on each EU member nation. In addition the commision alone determines all policy proposals- legislation.

I've been found out!
by pale.emperor inwell, thats it folks.. my identity on here has been rumbled and reported to the elders.
someone, somehow, has figured out that im a member of this site and - rather than speak to me - has promptly reported me to the elders.
i just feel sad for my daughter.

This could well be a case of somebody having access to your device, could automatic log in be set? Internet history stored? I find it highly unlikely a snooper would spot you out of hundreds\ thousands of other members of this forum.

JWs on the whole simply don't understand that its possible to find the bravery to accept the reality of human mortality, and to leave behind their delusional live forever fantasy land.

I'm so glad I came across this thread. Its exactly what I have been looking for. The parts about beth Sarim where a tramp claimed to be king David are laughable.

Today's Text - Brainwash Your Children!
by Divergent inwith the increasing number of young ones leaving "the truth", it is critical to brainwash them regularly from young!.
monday, may 16. the one who has dealings with the stupid will fare badly.—prov.
13:20.. a child could drift away gradually on a spiritually dangerous path, being tempted by harmful association or degrading entertainment.

This is a case of parents being manipulated to manipulate their children. The use of the word 'encouraged' in the KM is laughable- its not encouragement its scaremongering, inducing fear with the statement 'shoulder your responsibility before Jehovah' - yes folks the big J ain't gonna be happy with you-so ya better start manipulating those kids! Praps you could scare them senseless as we do you!
