  Were JWs Right That There Would Be A Time When Governments Would Go After All Religion?

  they have predicted this for years.

  religions of the world would become attacked by the governments.

  the only difference is when they go after jehovah’s witnesses, then jehovah god will step in and destroy the governments..

  There is no way this will happen. Religion works in the favor of governments. It keeps some people in line and keeps the minds of people busy. Plus in some countries they can actually control religion which is yet another way to control people.

  Religions will slowly erode into the past, and will more than likely be replaced by other religions. In fact this is already happening. Even as the world trends towards atheism, more people start following other cults and belief systems, such as the political cults we see today. Even without traditional religion people will continue to feel the need to align around beliefs and causes, so you can expect this not to go away.

  Joe Rogan would do a nice job at moderating, but any long form discussion with someone that is a moderate or an independent would be better than the format of these debates which are terrible to get any sense of how anybody thinks.

  agree with those saying that Wallace was somewhat biased against Trump, but to be fair, Trump made his job extra hard, so I think at some point Wallace was just frustrated with Trump.

  Also I think that by constantly interrupting Biden, Trump actually saved Biden at times. The best thing you can do with Biden is let him speak.

  I think Trump had a poor night. Trump needs to capture some moderates and this is not how to do it. Winning a debate against Biden is the easiest thing in the world. Trump did much better against Hillary which is silly because Hillary is fully lucid and is smarter than Biden.

  yeah i agree that Biden left the radical leftists in the dust, because he backtracked on some things that his campaign has been flirting with.

  Now what does this mean? Will the radical leftists still vote for him because that's as close as they can get? If they do, then Biden might have gained some centrists as well and it will serve him well. Or will the radicals be angry and him and not vote? In this case, this is a complete disaster for Biden.

  I watched. I thought that Biden did a lot better than what I predicted. I thought for sure Trump would roll all over Biden, but Biden did hold his own somewhat well.

  I would consider this debate a draw. A few things that Biden did well was for example look at the camera a lot, speak directly to the public. Try to put some distance between him and the radical leftists.

  Trump had great points, but he really needs to stop interrupting like this. It makes him look messy and unhinged.

  Do You Think People Know By Now Who They Will Vote For As President?

  i was listening to a radio broadcast today, and the DJ asked one of this co-hosts who he would vote for.

  Now, this person danced around the issue and clearly was avoiding answering, but after some pressure finally admitted voting for Trump. To me this is really telling and it explains much of the poll numbers we see. There is a stigma around voting for Trump, which to me rings similar to the stigma around being an atheist.

  Many atheists will try to soften their position in social settings by dancing around the issue, because they feel there is a stigma associated with it and they don't want to be perceived in a negative way, even if it's logical. Voting for Trump is on this same avenue. Many people know they will vote for him, but will keep it under wraps.

  Privileges

  for me, outside the jw context, that word seems to relate to something like a prison setting, where you're allowed to do certain things based on good behavior.

  Once you step out you really start seeing how ridiculous it is. Calling pointless work as privilege. Here take this microphone and run up and down the isle for the answers on the Watchtower study. There that's your privilege.

  Meanwhile the rest of the people get to sit comfortably.

  a month ago it might have been questionable.

  not now.

  after bader’s death and biden’s inability, this shouldn’t be close.

  We do not like trump for his morals or suaveness...

  I think that will have zero influence. People have learned how to deal with how rough around the edges he is. I too wish he was more polished, and I don't even think he is a great person, but to me he is the best shot at keeping us from further spiraling into identity politics crazy land.

  Btw, I saw this clip where Biden steps up to the podium on some appearance at a hispanic event and pulls out his phone and plays spanish song. How pathetic. They probably coached him to death to be able to do that. Politicians really have no regards for the intelligence of voters

  most people already know. A few might get swayed by the debates. I would guess on the debates Trump has all the upside, I don't think Biden will do well.

  The best thing that could happen in the next election is for the left to suffer a crushing and humiliating defeat and their own side run them out of town. Anything else is going to embolden them and lead to conflict because people won't believe the results.

  I tend to agree here. It would be a real problem to see the Left reaping any rewards for these antics. It would set a bad precedent, and it would mean they would engage in similar tactics to win an election in the future.

  They must lose across the board and it has to be in a way where the establishment sits down and realizes they need a different alignment. And they really will do that if it affects their ability to win.They are after all, as morally corrupt as anybody else.
