I don't think he is as far left as AOC. And as of now, there seems to be some infighting between the far left democrats and the moderate democrats.

How will the rest of the World be affected if America is run by far-left Socialist?
by pistolpete inamerica was a power not to be reckoned with.
but lately it seems to be the laughing stock of the world.
what other countries are seeing on the news is riots, calls to de-fund the police, breakdown of society, and elections being over taken with fraud.

Thanks for that video. Considering all the other nations and their own personal agenda, I sometimes wonder how we've made it this far without another world war. I hope it stays like this until after I'm long gone. Don't want to see a world war----ever------except on fictional tvš

Politics and Hope
by lriddle80 inso there are a lot of atheists on here.
my question: where does your hope come from?
that the right people will be put in political positions and will eventually form a utopian society that will meet all needs and we will have equality for all?.

So, it WAS all for nothing after all!
Not at all. Life is a gift to be treasured. If I live only until I hit forty, was it for nothing at all? Of course not. I enjoyed sunsets, the ocean, endless meals, pets, my work is enjoyable, I fell in love with a wonderful lady, children, wonderful parents, and I will attest-----it was not for nothing.
Iām not sure if you were a jw, but the ones I know were fed an unrealistic promise of living forever in a paradise earth petting pandas. That unrealistic promise can make life today meaningless. Thatās why many jws stop living for today and give up everything, because they have been promised everlasting life by a group of men that most have never personally met. And that's why when many find out they didn't have the truth, they have a hard time coping with life today.
I think our lives are intricately woven together playing out an epic story of a redeeming Savior saving people who are worthless for an ultimate crescendo of God, man, and creation becoming one.
I have no problem with people believing whatever they want to believe to make the inevitable a lot less painful.
For me I donāt see why an omnipotent, omniscient, and benevolent God wasnāt able to create a planet that didnāt have to be conquered, and a race of humans that didnāt need salvation.
If I was that God, and created children, I wouldnāt put them through all that suffering----unless I was malevolent, and enjoyed seeing contests like the gladiatorial fights of Rome.
And I wouldnāt put them on a planet that was deliberately designed with some animals destine to be prey and others designed to be predators.

World powers fall. Is it time for the USA to fall????
This video is making the rounds. This woman is from Yugoslavia and has been seeing with interest what has been happening in America, because it is exactly what happened in Yugoslavia. She is warning Americans that America is changing right before our eyes -----and we can't see it..

So it looks like the Covid Vaccine is here. If true, no doubt Biden will say he as "President Elect" was responsible for the vaccine finally arriving.

I was thinking about all of advances in technology and things like stoves and air conditioning. But now we have an advanced, maybe irreversible climate problem most likely caused by these advances, so I don't know it was such a good idea to become so advanced.
There are several theories out there that hypothesize that the more advance a species gets, the closer it gets to the āFiltersā that will prevent it from advancing to much.
One of these āFiltersā is that civilizations Destroy themselves when they reach a certain point. For example once they learn how to build Nuclear Weapons, it only a matter of a few hundreds years before someone decides it is time to end it all and thus pave the way for a new species to climb the ladder to the top.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWphqA1Slrw
Killer epidemics could wipe out the entire human species before a solution is developed, paving the way for a new species to climb the ladder.
Overpopulation could force world leaders and politicians to come up with a plan to cull the herd. Your average citizen would have no idea what is happening.
There is actually some speculation that the Covid virus was deliberately created to cull the overpopulation problem and get rid of the old and sickly people, since they are more of a drain on finite resources instead of adding ideas, and labor to earthās diminishing resources.
Are we at that point in the scale of approaching one of those filters?
You tell me. From a high of 70,300 active weapons in 1986, as of 2019 there are approximately 3,750 active nuclear warheads and 13,890 total nuclear warheads in the world. Many of the decommissioned weapons were simply stored or partially dismantled, not destroyed ---------meaning that humans still have access to them.
Considering how some countries armed with Nukes, hate each other to the max, like India and Pakistan, it wouldnāt take long for ONE OF THEM TO START SOMETHING and then the whole world join in.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-iNWaBZ3-w
Another great āFilterā would be the same thing that happened to Dinosaurs,--a giant meteor or a possible storm of Asteroids struck the planet earth and wiped them all out, leaving room for a new species to rise to the top of the chain,----Homo Sapiens.

Collapse of JW Org - Possibly on the Horizon?
by JWTom inthis topics get a great deal of discussion here.
what i find interesting is even some of my pimi family is embracing the reality that all is not well with jw.org and that many current jws are just going through the motions due to not having a good way out of the org.
wondering what could realistically lead to the collapse of jw.org in the not distant future?

Collapse of the JW Org - Possibly on the Horizon?
The Watchtower makes up .001 of the population. (Not even close to the number 1) And to be honest, it's probably less than that because I don't believe there are 8 million full fledged believers - JWs world wide.
With that in mind, if the Watchtower collapsed today, I doubt anyone would even notice besides the members and some exjws.
I know 1.4 BILLION people in China wouldn't give a hoot
I know 1.3 BILLION people in India wouldn't blink an eye.
Indonesia, Pakistan, Nigeria, Brazil, Bangladesh, and Russia wouldn't even bat an eye
If you had two stories on the news all over the internet---Elections or Watchtower collapse, which do you thing people would click on!!
Earth population wise------nobody really cares!

My question: where does your hope come from
Definition
Hope; a FEELING of expectation and DESIRE for a certain thing to happen.
When I was a little kid I use to Hope=DESIRE to one day fly like superman. But as I grew up I realized that all HOPE is --------is just a feeling and nothing more. It's not something tangible that actually comes true just because you wish it or desire it.
In my short little life, considering I'm still young, I've seen real good people hope in God that their cancer would go away. (They died) I've seen good parents hope in God, that their 5 year old daughter is found before it's to late. (She never came home) How many of the 350,000 people that died in the December 26, 2004 tsunami do you think were Hoping in God considering many has just celebrated the birth of Christ the day prior?
Because we know that won't happen because people are always going to be divided and unsatisfied.
Now you are predicting a future event and acting like a prophet. That's how religion starts. No Human can predict how humanity will turn out thousands of years from now.

Understanding a family member thatās A witness
by understandingjehovah ini need some advise or understanding.. my brother became jehovah witness because of his wife.
our dad is dying and over the last two months heās done some very weird stuff.. my family knows heās not a real witness because he sells corn liquor and pills, drinks daily, let us have our moms birthday at their house.
heās also committed adultery, itās rumored that he molested our cousin when he was younger, done fraud to my dying dad, lied about being our dads poa for greed only to find out heās not, lied to the family about his estranged daughters, called his oldest daughter a b*tch because she doesnāt want anything to do with him, lied on our dads life to her to get her to talk to him, he has the name nympho tattooed on his neck, has slandered his immediate family and abandoned two of his daughters for over 20 years to start a family with his new wife.

Iām really confused at how they speak if jehovah but live their life like this.
You seem to believe that a person's religion has anything to do with a person's character. A religion is a belief system with their differing ideas of what makes a person moral, All religion"s ideas of what make a good person is flawed.
For example Jehovah's Witnesses speak of Jehovah as you mentioned, yet they would be willing to let their child, wife, husband, or parents DIE, if it conflicts with their doctrine of no blood transfusion. Does being a Jehovah Witness make them more moral than anyone else considering they are willing to let their family die for a belief system made by a group of men that started the religion in the 1800s?
You need to judge a person's character based on how they live their life and how they act instead of the religion they associate with. .Some of the most famous serial killers were very religious.

If Biden wins
by mickbobcat inif biden wins i hope trump starts the trump news network and hires out from fox the good casters.
the people who made fox what it is are starting to get sick of how its turning to the left or dark side.
this would give trump a voice and keep alive real journalism.

"This is exactly how it went in Cuba, why cant Americans see ahead?"
It's the same reason why Jehovah's Witnesses are seeing that the preaching work has come to a complete halt going on a year almost, and possible longer, tons of child sex abuse cases, the preposterous overlapping generation new light, the accelerated child baptisms, and all the other tweaks within the organization that makes it obvious it's not God's Only Channel to save mankind.---------------------
IGNORANCE!
They refuse to look at the evidence for whatever reason
Most Americans are not aware of what the political system did in Cuba. Most have no idea what happened in Venezuela. Most have no idea what Socialism is. They think Socialism is FREE EVERYTHING. And it's actually the upcoming generation that is being taught in Universities that Socialism is a good thing.
