Corporations need to be sued for dumb crap like this. Its just stupid. The corporations forgets that sword cuts both ways. If we ever get to a point where its OK to force someone to do something against their belief it will be 1984. Even if its telling someone to not have racist views or misogynistic views. I get that someone can not wear a neo Nazi tee shirt at work, but when corporations try to spy on employees and fire them for what they do on their private time needs to be squashed. Free speech is not given by or based on what someone else thinks is OK or what is not. If you do your job and are not bringing it and spreading it at work then its no damn business of the business what you believe or do on your own time as long as its not illegal. This is a slippery slope. Next it will be if you dress up as a German Army or Confederate Army and go to reenactments you are canceled. What needs to be canceled is the cancel culture.

This BS about putting people in because of color is stupid. Jobs or positions need to be held by the most capable and talented not because of skin color. If they are holding back people because of skin color that is another story if there are not enough talented people who can handle the job who are black then that is that. You don't give someone a job to fill out some stupid liberal quota of skin color. The JWs have a lot wrong with them and we don't need to make crap up out of whole cloth. As far as women, the bible has a place for women and its not in positions of authority. I am not saying I agree with the bible I don't believe in it as gods word. But if you are going to believe in it as gods word its anti Homosexual, has a place of non teaching and authority for women ect. I am not going to create a straw man argument against the JWs for them doing what the bible teaches.
The JWs and other religions will cherry pick what they like and down play what they don't. Some religions try to bend or dismiss the scriptures that are anti Homosexual. This is just stupid. If you believe that this is gods word then you can not dismiss any of it. Women are not to teach a man that is just the way it is. If you don't like it don't follow the bible. I don't. I have no issue with someone being homosexual. That is their business not mine. But don't try to tell me that the Bible really says this or that and that Being gay or women being in authority in the church ect are fine. That is total BS.
The JWs have over 100 years of false prophecy and tearing family's apart and hiding child molesters ect. To me this is like picking up the speck if dirt and trying to make a big deal out of it while not talking about the 5 pounds of dog dodo on the floor.

1914 Dropped
by pale.emperor inso i was observing an online conversation between a jw and a former-jw.
the non-jw pointed out that wwi cant have had anything to do with satan supposedly being "cast out of heaven" because wwi was already well under way in oct 1914.. the jw proceeds to explain that satan was actually thrown down to the earth in 1915 and that he started to wreak havock on the earth from heaven knowing he was about to be cast out.. so 1914 is officially old light now?
does anyone have a source for that or was this brother lying through his teeth?.

I highly doubt it will ever be dropped but as we saw in the overlapping generation I would bet that they make it more about Jesus taking charge and less about being a stop watch staring point. Eventually it will be the date Jesus took control of things and less about it being a time line.

Growing up in this cult if someone would have said one day JWs will be standing next to a cart playing video games and counting time while the GB has its own TV channel doing a weekly TV show I would have said never going to happen. But if someone back then would have said that half the country would be spitting and burning the flag, yelling death to America, burning cities down and looting and murdering and then being supported by the authority's. I would have said the same thing.

I know a lot who said they are done. But I never understood how anyone can identify with a sports teem. Its not like the local High School where your son and his friends or daughter and her friends are playing. These are like actors who you will never know and very well may not want to know and somehow people identify with them. Just because someone puts on a Jersey with my home state team on them does not make me apart of the teem. A person who is part of an opposing team can next year be part of your team so its not really anything but an illusion smoke and mirrors. I would rather go for a hike or ride my bike or do some project around the house than sit and watch a bunch of over paid idiots run around a field and some how associate myself with them that only exists in my mind.

I don't see your argument. I don't see that there is any proof of a god existing. In fact by your argument if a god existed they would not let the suffering go on with the world that has went on since it began. Death birth and more death cycling billions of times. It makes no sense to believe in a god to my mind.

The end result either forced by an election or liberals having to do what needs to be done is to bring in overwhelming force and start killing people who are looting burning and a threat to peace. Once these idiots learn that they are going to get killed they will stop.
