diane abbot has been temporarily suspended from the labour party whilst they investigate her behaviour.. what's she done?.
it was leaked that a first draft of a letter she was going to write had the claim that jews can't experience racism.. the influence of crt is obvious.
according to this warped worldview, there are two types of people, oppressors and oppressed.
" According to CRT, Jews can't experience racism cos dey white ", that is an example of the misuse of CRT that I was talking about !
Can you show any accredited Academic who broadly supports the aims of CRT who has said what you say there, and says that is part of CRT ? Citations please.

is this the "great tribulation" which jesus warned he would bring upon the corrupt christian congregations worldwide, (revelation 2:22; 7:14) or is it the same 1st century g.t.
which he said would never occur again?
(matthew 24:21).
The J.W org. still flogging a very dead horse, hoping it will limp along at least.
I suppose this nonsense will work on some of the more entrenched, mind controlled JW's still, but that is an indictment upon the Org's message, they rely upon fear to get full control of their members.
This constant fear mongering and also looking forward to the "New System" never really worked on me, as a J.W I thought " I don't care when Armageddon comes, Jehovah is a Righteous Merciful Judge, so I have nothing to fear, and I don't want this world to go yet, too many good people need to hear the truth". Faulty reasoning of course, but it meant that all the hype for decade after decade that the "End is Sooooo close" only cemented my doubt that the G.B knew in any way what they were talking about.

I think the thing this shows mainly about Ms Abbot is that she is not the sharpest tool in the box, and that even in a draft if it were indeed that, if she were a bit more savvy, she would have made her point with more sensitivity and precision of language, even if the point was not valid. She is a bit thick, but is still way above a good number of the present Government's Ministers etc. A low bar.
I don't think what she said can be labelled "anti-semitic", it was not an attack upon Jews, just a poorly thought out (< if that took place) opinion, poorly expressed as well.
CRT of itself is not a bad thing of course, we need to examine all social, political, and legal structures and power distribution, focusing on the concept of race, and experiences of Racism, so that we can do something about it.
But as with all such things CRT can be misused.
It is working wonderfully well this story though, as another "Hey look ! a Dead Cat!" for the Tory Media, helping to take the Public's mind of the Narcissistic Bully Raab, who IS very thick.
comedy legend barry humphries passed away yesterday aged 89. he was the genius behind dame edna everage and sir les patterson.. humphries was also an intellectual, with a huge personal library of first prints and rare editions.
he apparently dropped out of studying law because he found it 'boring', from what i remember reading about him.
instead, he created a number of comedy characters - as much for his own amusement as ours.. here's to a long life, well-lived 🥂.
I always loved Barry, very funny, satirical and a bit anarchic. I remember he put an exhibit in an Art Exhibition, it was two big boots, filled with custard, and entitled "Puss in Boots" !
I first encountered his work when I was a very young feller in the magazine Private Eye where he had a cartoon strip called "Barry Mackenzie" , I didn't always get the humour and references as a callow youth, but appreciated all his work in later years. The one character name that still makes me laugh, was the sleazy Union Rep type he invented , who he named "Lance Boyle" IIRC.
RIP Barry.
can watchtower really continue with cart preaching?
it has become like zoom.
we're people attending zoom not wanting attend halls.
I wonder what JW's feel about the cart work, yes the vast majority would rather do that than knock on doors, but I wonder if the genuine ones may deep down think that it is not real witnessing, and not very productive at all for making converts.
for newbies, who was carl olof jonsson?
he was a jw in sweden who was challenged by a householder in the 1960s, who pointed out to him that secular history books don’t agree with watchtower that jerusalem was destroyed in 607 bce, but instead place the event 20 years later.
the reason the date is important is because it is the starting date for jw chronology which leads to 1914 as the end of the gentile times, and the beginning of the last days, as jws understand it.
Sad news, a great man. Those letters, thanks Dozy for re-posting ! were a real shock to me when I first came across them shortly after I left the org. I was just at the point of writing to the org myself , about 1914, when I came across them, by which time they were 30 years old.
It shocked me that the GB/org had known 1914 was bollocks for 30 years, but were still sticking with it ! Of course, their behaviour is no surprise now.
The Org. was founded on lies, and is maintained by lies, what Irony, that they call it "the Truth" , it is the polar opposite.
you may have been wondering: what is greg stafford up to these days?
lots of interesting things, is the answer.
exposing the false trinity doctrine, of course, but keeping on top of other issues too.
The Noah Story has been shown to be an Interpolation into Genesis, and to be based on the earlier, much earlier, Epic of Gilgamesh, or a common source.
Stafford is now making an utter twat of himself.
i mentioned using faroese as a basis for a pw in answer to fatfreek's op.. so, i got curious about the language and dug further on youtube, looking at a few faroese language channels*.. here's what i found out .... faroese is kinda between icelandic and nynorsk (one of the two norwegian standard languages) in many ways.
which is neat, considering the islands are geographically between iceland and norway.. the way it's written emphasises its connection to old norse, and makes the language look like icelandic.. icelandic has a letter for the voiced sound 'th', as in this.
the letter is called edh and looks like this: ð. but in faroese, it doesn't have a sound of its own.
I seem to remember a lady on You tube speaking Faroese , I remember it sounded lovely, if my old memory serves me well, it may possibly have been one of the Islands closer to Scotland ?
What should not surprise me , but always does, is how these languages are so very different from near neighbours, but of course they would be, what I think of as near is a pretty insurmountable barrier, or one that is pointless to cross, so of course they developed very differently.
