  I am starting to think there is more to these riots than just some meets the eye.

  the fake news wants us to believe that one cop who murdered one person sparked all this.

  i am seeing this crap in london and around the world.

  this does not make any sense.

  Yes when things get really bad all we'll need is someone to raise from the ashes to save us....maybe his name will be Adolf.

  hello, i am in the beginning stages of a slow fade.

  over the years i have become more and more dissatisfied with the beliefs, teachings, and organizational practices of the organization.

  i no longer have faith in it.

  You got a point. Maybe you should stay in. You sure don't want to be on the wrong side when your loving god Jehovah (that you still believe in) comes to Earth to kill 8 BILLION men, women and children, even though vast majority of those people he'll be killing never even heard him.

  Just because his organization is corrupt I sure he is still a cool guy.

  If you want to believe in god that's OK but Jehovah....

  Time to deprogram yourself my friend.

  If you go behind the scenes there seems to be more to this story than just police brutality.

  Reading "Babylon the Great Has Fallen, God's Kingdom Rules"

  You are a glutton for punishment. I was 14 when it came out.

  Here is something fun you might want to do. Read the book but pretend you know nothing about the Jehovah's Witnesses and their teachings.

  Pretend you bought it from a door to door salesman as thousands of people did. Read it with the eyes and mind of a non Jehovah's Witness.

  I'm your sure you will come to the same conclusion a friend of mine did after reading this book that is no longer in print.

  What is this conclusion? That the people who wrote this book (probably Franz) and the people who did believe in its pontifications are BAT SHIT crazy.

  Covid-19 death rate

  by BourneIdentity in

  worldwide numbers – 13%.

  deaths: 359,791. recovered: 2,399,247. active cases 3,044,378. we need to throw out the active cases in our calculations, as we don’t know if those people will survive or die.

  deaths + recovered is 2,759,038. deaths/deaths + recovered = death rate.. 359,791/2,759,038 = 13%.

  Bias in News

  by Simon in

  you can't escape bias in the news media, so making it visible is the next best thing.. just came across this site which aims to label the news stories to show who is covering it.

  you can see how some stories are only covered by one side which shows either their bias, or the bias of the other side from not covering it.. well worth checking out:.

  Oh no... you mean the news agencies are owned by the real power moguls of this country and they are bias towards their own agenda?

  "This speech is shocking who care hear it!"

  I believe they have a term for it.

  It's call "fake news"

  To answer your question of course the answer is yes. Because anything is possible. In this case in it could be a strong possibility if certain scenarios play out.

  I don't believe "the girl next door" comment is true.

  "As various groups rose up, they would be immediately put down by the federal government and the force of the United States military.

  The reason is our troops have no problem killing people from other countries. However they may have a harder time turning their weapons on the men women and children of their own country.
  Especially if they think their own government is bull shit. Which as we all know could be a strong possibility.

  I think it will go more like the movie "V" where the government in future England faked a pandemic for its own gain.

  It that movie the soldiers and people both called bull shit and didn't buy into the lies the media were pedaling.

  Another factor is the fact America is the most armed country in the world....another wild card.

  I had a somewhat paranormal experience 2 days ago, but I think science is just light years behind on this.....

  for the record i'm agnostic, never seen any direct evidence of spirits, afterlife, etc.

  i've been visiting my mother during this corona ordeal.

  a year ago i had a dream i was much older and talking to somebody about how my mom died this year but it was avoidable.

  Just because you don't believe in something doesn't mean it's not possible.

  Maybe we are spiritual creatures having a physical experience.

  Maybe there are no coincidences.

  Maybe just maybe there is more out there than the things we can see and touch.

  You don 't have to believe in it but maybe just open to the possibility of it.

  My Mom died last week.

  last wednesday my elder brother called me to let me know mom had died.

  she was 97 years old and was in a nursing home for the last 7 years.

  her mind had left her many years ago to the point she didn't recognize any of us.

  "I felt sad, happy and indifferent this last week about her death."

  What you are feeling is very normal. Don't think just because you don't feel different or more that you are not effected by her passing. It takes time to process all this.

  That old generation of JW parents were not the easy to live.

  I felt every thing you did when my JW mother passed away 37 years ago but I was mad also because she could have made things so much better for herself and those who were around her.

  Like you, I was happy too on some level.

  Why? Because her pain was finally over. Not her physical pain but her emotional pain from a very tough life.

  My mother died with a lot of secrets as that generation didn't like to talk about their feelings very much, making it tough to draw close to them.

  They did the best they could and I would like to believe they are in a better place now....Who knows maybe we will all be reunited in some way....some day....when all the mysteries will be made known.
