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?.

Only you will know the consequences of asking not to have a study. Will it create unbearable situation at home? Will your aunt be angry? If you’re not sure could you test the water?
“Aunt I would rather not have a study at this time”
when asked why not? You can say
”I attend meetings and that is enough intake for me at this time” “I don’t feel like it” “I just don’t” - always be vague never be controversial by saying “it’s a cult” etc
Be respectful but perhaps politely remind her that Jesus said “let anyone that WANTS to come take life’s water free. Ask her if she is going to force you to have a study.
Tell her that if you have any freedom of choice on the matter you would rather not study at this time since you don’t feel like it.
All of this assumes it won’t create unbearable tension in the house.
If so then study with bob be a respectfully bored student.

If ever you doubt this organisation is a cult you could take note of how many time fear is used on the audience, not being good enough for jehovah or risking death at Armageddon if they don’t ‘adjust’ their thinking.
Count how many times you hear loaded language, ‘the truth’ will probably be used hundreds of times even though it merely appears 3 or 4 times in the bible- it was not an everyday expression of early Christians. Or loaded expressions such as ‘apostate’, ‘pioneer’ and ‘Jehovahs’ organisation’ - which do not occur in the bible at all. Count how many times you hear ‘encourage’ ‘can we encourage you to...’ - we all know this word really means ‘to pressure’ in jw speak. Keep your eyes open kiddo don’t be fooled by the Washtowel Trick society’s propaganda and indoctrination techniques.
Oh and walk around the concourse AS MUCH as possible.
All the best !

After a few short years of taking office he got the economy booming, drastically decreased unemployment and imposed tariffs on foreign trade. His popularity greatly increased. But there were some danger signs such as blaming the country’s problems on those of another race/religion and referring to them as if they were lower than human. Also, he has narsassitic tendencies and acts like a cult leader over his followers- He certainly made his country great again- but it was far to early to judge if Adolf Hitler was a good leader.

by The Fall Guy inthe world cup in russia is being used to launch v.a.r.
- video assistant referee.
it will be very interesting to see if/how it affects the almost obligatory cheating offences of pulling/pushing which occur every time players are in each other's penalty area.

I was all for VAR, after all sometimes a match is ruined by a ref mistake or by an act of cheating.
What I hate about VAR is that it kills the moment of passion and glory unique to football- when the ball hits the back of the net. Now we all have to wait a minute while the goal is checked, by which time the drama of the moment has passed.
I’ve got mixed feelings.

Joseph Rutherford = Donald Trump
by Wild_Thing ini have been rereading a lot about rutherford lately; about his personality and the kind of person he was.
i have come to the conclusion that he was a lot like donald trump.. he was an accused womanizer.. he was a narcissist with a self inflated ego.
he claimed to be persecuted by the media all the time.

It’s simples resolute bandicoot.
1. Highlight the area you want to copy. Right click copy.
2. In the box where you type your comment click on the quote symbol.
3. Paste the quote into the yellow area that appears.

The similarities are clear to see really. Though most in the media probably are against him, not because of some conspiracy- he simply doesn’t represent the views of the media class. And trump’s promises are probably more reliable than Rutherford’s. -

Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Baker Who Refused to Bake Cake for Gay Couple
by Simon inseems like such an obviously correct decision to overturn the previous overreach - it should never have been necessary to go to the supreme court but happened because the rights of the religious were being ignored.. as the fundamental level, no one should be able to compel you to work for them or to provide services that go against your beliefs, and certainly not have the government be able to force you to comply.. if this was allowed there would be so many unreconcilable situations that would clog up courts over nonsense.. i also have little patience for these activists that intentionally look to be offended.
it really doesn't do their cause any good to go round looking to make trouble for people.
it's also misguided because it ends up strengthening religious rights over effectively stupid issues.. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/04/us/politics/supreme-court-sides-with-baker-who-turned-away-gay-couple.html.

People regularly flout the law in such a manner but does that really mean we should be without law freedom of fade? The gay community go through hell even in tolerant societies- the law should be on their side as a model. Countries whose laws reflect the ‘consciences’ of the religiously intolerant are generally the most inhumane place to live.
