Slimboyfat,
I appreciate your intentions, but you state a number of factual errors in your post. It presents a distorted view of JFK, RFK and others involved in the crisis.
in the current situation, it’s worth listening to this podcast about nuclear near misses.
the cuban missile crisis was only one example, but is worth considering.
in 1962 the united states and russia went eyeball to eyeball over russia’s military base in cuba.

i have been on m any different forums, and only carm is similar to this.. all the rest have rather hypocritical trust in god.. this and carm are for those who apostate to the wtbs and to god.. turned off by the gb, or hypocritical examples in the congregation, they drop worshiping god and their belief in the bible... for they know too much,.
that's why scripture isn't discussed, and jws like me, are demonized.. i am cool with that!
maybe some of you will come to their senses!.
The Corinthian congregation was full of problems but the correct course of action was not to leave it. Likewise in ancient Israel the Kings and priests were usually unfaithful but it was still proper to worship at the temple. Food for thought
i've posted a link to an article that contains important food for thought.
as we search for information to free our minds and hearts of cult-like thinking which entails being able to critically think, we need to ponder research that is available to help us to make important decisions.
we need to allow ourselves to consider other possibilities, something that jw’s are discouraged from doing.
Posting this link is an endorsement that it is worthy of serious consideration. The article is obviously slanted to an agnostic or atheist viewpoint. It will provide further ammunition that you are mentally diseased and your claims about child sexual abuse are consequently highly suspect. Unfortunate in my opinion.
Also, in my opinion, the article is a work of pseudoscience and does not merit any serious consideration. Regardless of your beliefs I think that an honest reader of the Bible can come to no other conclusion than that it stands out as different in comparison to other ancient religious writings.

i don't think that it's too early to start this thread so .
merry christmas everyone.
maybe people could share christmas music or clips to get us all in the mood.
Ah yes! Time for the overtly commercialized modern celebration of Saturnalia. Strange how so many exJWs go for this crap.
so, i was wondering what are the funniest insults i've heard/been called.. the woman who taught me the arabic alphabet did a lesson about insults in colloquial palestinian arabic.. the one that stuck out to me was iniqbir or ini'bir.
literal meaning: bury yourself.
"go and bury yourself".
No, something Johnny Carson would say
we all know the now famous quote, "all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.
" well, this point is regurgitated in the latest wt, along with yet another new bunker scene:.
"during the great tribulation, we may receive instructions that seem strange, impractical, or illogical .
We are all free to do what we are told!
As an example, denim is clearly a machination of the Devil 👿
The rank and file are too stupid to make big decisions like buying a pair of pants, so really need counsel about what kind of work to do, choosing a baby sitter, watching a TV show, buying a car, buying a house, getting a credit card, getting a pet . . . . To infinity and beyond!
i need a question answered.
i know of a situation where a single sister took in a single brother as a renter, so she could be his caregiver, as he was very along in years.. long story short, they were forced to get married.
i believe it was labeled under "appearance of evil" by the elders.. my question is: what do the elders base this on?
No one could have "forced" that couple to get married. Get real
i`ll go first ,i have my vaccinated 2 jabs for the elderly.. if i`m not around in the next 3 months you will know why ..
