Three Simple Reasons Why an Assault-Weapons Ban Is Bad Policy

by freemindfade in

i keep saying this is a bad place/policy to put all the time, energy and resources if you really do in fact care, or if you are just riding the agenda bandwagon: .

an assault-weapons ban is irrelevant to suicide deaths.

the large majority of gun deaths are suicides, and there is no credible argument that an assault-weapons ban will have the slightest effect on suicide.

A ban is only for the front door. The back door of a weapons manufacturer is another story.

The most dangerous segment of society will not be affected by any ban. Those who are responsible for the majority of killings using guns are not even in the gunsights of they who advance bans.

In Canada, the government doesn’t even take an interest in “gun ban” discussions. No need. Here, the government follows every round of ammunition within its borders.

What good is a gun without ammunition?

The US government could ban the automobile and that would save millions of lives. LOL

But as long as gasoline is available, people will find a tank to “load” it into.

What really is this gun discussion about? The US government doesn’t give a rats posterior about guns killing school kids. There could be a ban on assault rifles tomorrow, and crazies could still buy any of hundreds of small arms legally or otherwise that could be used in a mass shooting.

The reason assault rifles are the target of the governments actions is simple. These weapons are the ones that American militias will use against government controlled forces because of the specific kinds of ammunition that is available to fill their magazines, rounds that are designed to pierce personel armor. And the government is using the MSM and now children to advance their agenda.

Now, before you crawl all over me, personally I hate guns. All of them.

Maybe we should ban all guns for everyone.

But keep the nukes, keep ‘em hot and ready, prepared to fly on a moments notice. Keep a lunatic hovering over the big red button, shaking in a cold sweat. And make it mandatory that every city in the free world have a method of informing the public daily of the minutes to oblivion remaining on the clock of doom.

W5 Investigation

by Christian Gutierrez in

friends

hey guys!

i just want you guys to know that today is a really great day.

there are so many jehovah's witnesses that saw this documentary and were disgusted by watchtowers policy.

lastmanstanding

I had a publisher brother over to the house the night of the broadcast. His wife wants to stop pioneering because she is wiped out. The brother said they are worried about how others will view them when it is announced, so he said that he wanted to tell us in person.

And he did.

He needed consoling. So we consoled.

I told him, good for her... and that she didn’t need elder’s permission to stop, just STOP.

But, I said don’t do it tomorrow (Sunday)... wait a week.

He was puzzled.

I told him this because at our last meeting with the CO, the CO asked the elders if there were any troubles in the congregation because of the program that aired on TV, meaning a program months ago. Elders all shook heads.

In any case, this poor deluded bro and his wife already have the entire Watchtower world on their backs, they don’t need suspicious elders thinking that she quit because of the W5 program, because they are indeed likely to query her as to why, and that much harder if they suspect that the W5 program is to blame.

Maybe, just maybe, he will get wind of it and connect the dots.

look at the picture for yesterday's watchtower study.

see the good jw folks sitting around the campfire..... zoooom in on that campfire.

have a good look..

I made a valiant effort at posting a pic but the site wouldn’t take it. I think I had the wrong format.

I think a few of you recognized it, but I will say that there is no excuse, none, for producing a drawing like this. There are so many good ways to paint it, that to have used this is ridiculous.

As is so often the case, if you zoom in on Watchtower illustrations you see the unacceptable.... and if you put a mirror up to them in various ways, you see something horrific. If you zoom in on this one and put a mirror on it, OMG.

Somebody ask a dub,

“If somebody you meet in the FS asked you if you believe the generation of 1914 is still around, what would you give them as an answer?”

Yes.... No... I don’t know...

Matthew 24:34 not fulfilled in the first century

by Jules Saturn in

i was discussing with an elder the generation teaching and telling him when jesus christ says in matthew 24:34 “truly i say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things happen.” he was referring to the generation from the first century in 33 ad and these events that were to take place took place with the destruction of jerusalem in 70 ad.

now the elder tells me to go back to a few verses to from verses 29-33 which read: .

“immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened,+ and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.+ 30 then the sign of the son of man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief,+ and they will see the son of man+ coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

JW's on my front sidewalk

so last weekend, the jw's ring the bell and my wife answers.

we live in a heavily spanish neighborhood but don't really speak spanish.

i thought my wife was quite clear that she is a "sister" to them, but maybe the one in charge of the group didn't get the message.

Onthewayout.

Great story. I loved it. But no way to help these poor slogs. I enjoyed reading your story all the same.

I have given much thought to the day I spill the juice on the local elders after being PIMO for three decades (&counting).

I have decided to use the same topic as you. With a twist. (Yes, I’ve had a long time to think about it.)

I am going to hand to said elders, a photocopy of the first Awake article submitted to the UN DPI and ask them what it is. Let them offer their thoughts as they stare at it.

I will acknowledge whatever thoughts they offer regarding it, if true. (Just a photocopy of an Awake....)

Then I will say, “it’s not so much the article as the paper it’s on”...

I am sure they will be puzzled. What could be special about the paper?

Let the hamsters in their little brains run the wheels up to a higher rpm.

“That paper” I will say “didn’t come from any photocopiers around here. And I didn’t do the photocopying.

I will watch their eyes.

“The letter in my hand”, I will add, “in contrast, is a photocopy that I made and did so on the photocopier here at the hall using the original, so I know it’s not fake”. (Waving paper in the air)

This must peak their interest. Are they that brain dead that they can’t at least wonder about it?

Before their brain hamsters get a chance to slow down, I will give the hamsters a triple shot of Red Bull and a double black espresso to wash it back. Then I will continue...

“That photocopy was made in one of the offices of The United Nations. It is a photocopy of one of many articles found in a filing cabinet at the office of the Department of Public Information of the United Nations.”

(Pause for effect)

“It was sent right after the letter in my hand was received from the United Nations DPI.”

Since I’ve had so long to think about it, I will most definitely record this event.

I will hand them the letter in my hand and let them read a bit.

Then I will add... “fifteen years after I found out that the Watchtower betrayed us by partnering with the United Nations, behind our backs, I flew out to NYC to attend a meeting at the very UN office where guys we have called our brothers, on behalf of the governing body, signed applications agreeing to the principles of The Charter of the United Nations and then submitted yearly, for ten years, Awake articles written for the sole purpose of continuing the secret partnership”

Not sure what comes after this, but I will have my file folder handy with whatever I need and pictures of my visit the the UN DPI.

The elders I will dump this load on will almost certainly be guys I have known personally for between 30 and 40 years.

I won’t be concerned about ‘what they gonna do’ because I wouldn’t care less at that point.

I want to make this sting. I want for word of this to get back to the top. I want for the elders that hear and see to never forget so long as they live.

These are the last men and women standing of that last generation, not what wt has made of them the long departed anointed generation.

I think it’s more and more, perhaps moving into the realm of universally, understood that the “generation” being referred to is the generation that was in vogue at the time, the generation to which Jesus himself belonged.

Counter argument for the below..?

thank you for pasting that, just saying, not fully endorsing.
