OP, I got the same kind of thing. Docs dont want to prescribe stims for my high level of ADHD, because they are worried it will effect my Bi-polar, but they would have no issue giving me an SSRI which is known to make people go manic. But I am not looking forward to the bigA where all ADD people die because they are not "Close enough" to god. :-) Funny, all the time I went out in service and no body wanted to go to the door with me much. Lots of side effect, lots of zeal but never studied for the meetings. Yet nobody in any of the congregations I went to told me that I should get a docter to R/O ADHD.

Signs That Armageddon is "Any Day Now"
by Nevuela inmy "anointed" roommate told me a good one today.
as we were discussing psychotropic medications, she brought up a friend of hers who was recently forced off of "benzodiazepine" (there is no one drug by this name; rather, it is a specific classification of drug).
she claimed that many people are being forced off of the medication(s) due to "concerns over side effects," and that her friend is suffering from withdrawal on top of whatever symptoms the drug was previously helping to control (she didn't elaborate and i didn't feel comfortable asking, sorry).. my roommate then went on record to say (i'm paraphrasing here) "this is why armageddon has to happen very soon, because satan is using this system to make all these people suffer psychologically to drive them into the streets and go crazy.

Racial Bias in Policing
by Coded Logic inthe us justice department just released findings from their investigation of the baltimore police department.
as 40% of the force is comprised of black officers some thought they'd be "immune" to racial bias.
it turns out black cops can be just as racist - if not more racist - against black people than white cops.

There are powerful people pushing the race agenda right now, with the goal of distracting people from the real issues involving law enforcement and government abuse in general. You seem to be falling for a tactic that news likes to use: Flooding the front pages with fluff that they know will distract a large portion of the populous.
I do not think the discrimination is as large as they say it is. African Americans commit more then there share of crimes vs the relatively small size they represent (US as a hole, maybe there is major racism in some city's) In some city's police rarely even pull over black people because they are worried about getting shot (Bad parts of Detroit to name one).
In addition police look at lists of crimes committed by there populace; what they see is that blacks/Hispanics commit more crimes then do Jews/Europeans/Asians/ext, this makes it so when a black person starts yelling and getting mad and shaking there arms at racism, or worse walks twords a cop, the cop may be inclined to shoot.
Also the prison population of the USA is larger then every other country on earth, more then even china. The USA owns ~25% of the worlds caged people, yet only has ~5% of the worlds population.
Now you could say the explanation, is that the US citizens commit more crimes, but this is obviously easy to disprove as other country's with Lower prison/death rates have higher crime rates. Another question to ask is: Do the higher prison rate cause are lower crime rates, and the answer would most likely be no. Iceland with one of the lowest prison and cop abuse rates in the world also has one of the lowest crime rates. (Could be other reasons like low population or dare I say less violent people)
TL:DR. 1: The US is killing to many black people, but they are also killing more white people then any other race, in raw numbers. But everyone can agree cops in the US kill WAY to many people of all races, then they should! 2: the news floods the market with crap to get you to not see the more important things.

So ... Russia and Nato at war? Should we be worried?
by Simon init seems unbelievable but turkey (a nato member state) shooting down a russian jet fighter on their syrian border seems to be "meh" news and no one is too bothered about it too much.. the world seems a bit upside down right now.
i don't think a lot of countries really know who the hell they are fighting and who is and isn't on their side in it all and really what is going on.. smaller incidents than this have led to major conflicts in the past but hopefully calm heads will prevail.
china shot down a us spy plane years ago and the world survived and forgot about it so things will move on i'm sure.. i'm guessing the price turkey pays for their gas supply from russia will be going up soon though.. man, that republican primary is sucking all the news attention from the room.

Elder harassed my mom and asked for donation
by kaik inmy mom had surgery last month and she developed complication and had to be on antibiotics to treat infection.
so, she is recovering slowly, but things was tough on her and she was not attending kh or went to assembly two weeks ago.
nonetheless, elder showed up at her place and instead providing her with comfort he started to harass her that her faith is weak, she does not put trust in jah, etc.

I agree, everyone thinks the nuke is the ultimate weapon when in fact it is not. Nukes even the big ones only totally destroy one city even if they can send shock-waves that shatter glass 1000 miles away. There are modern traditional bombs that have just as much 1st level destruction without being dicks and ruining the earth at the same time.
Funny that this does not get as much coverage as 1 person being shot in other places. More unacceptable is the fact that 10's of millions die each year and 20+% of the news covers the tiny little bits of death and call it tragedy while ignoring the other 50 million. It reminds me of a magician saying look over here.
