The left will destroy itself. Eventually. As the previous posters mentioned the best is to avoid those areas if it is possible to do. Leftist ideology is to go soft on crime because a group is underprivileged. I’ve heard the complaints that there are no grocery stores in inner city neighborhoods. There is probably good reason as it is not profitable for the store to operate with rampant thievery. Stores close, marginalized people suffer more and the woke crowd lack the critical thinking ability to understand that their policies made the problem worse. The other problem with shoplifting is that confronting a shoplifter is a safety hazard if someone got hurt.There will be a lot of retail deserts where there are no businesses for miles as it just won’t be worth it to own a store.

Why Is Nothing Being Done About Looters?
by minimus inlooting is happening everywhere like never before.
brazen thieves walk into stores and bring a bag with them and simply throw whatever they choose in the bag.
popular chain stores have closed in certain neighborhoods because it’s just not worth it.

Does this look like the WT is going to be around a long time? One Watchtower @ One Awake for the public in 2022
by pistolpete ini keep hearing that the watchtower org is going to be around forever because of the many other religions that have been around a long time.
but i disagree because the wt is not like other religious cults.. the watchtower's breath of life is dependent on the last days that started in 1914. .
you can’t change 1914 without a death blow to the entire organization.. the watchtower's 2nd reason for staying alive, is it's continual urging that the life saving preaching work of warning people is the most important work ever.. but- it's very obvious to many, even the old ones that instead of speeding up the work------the work is slowing down to a drip.. comment by former believer; .

It looks like they don't have a writing dept anymore to write new material. And no money for research.
When you can’t afford volunteer labour that’s bad. They don’t even have to house or feed the writers. They can work from home.

As long as the power and money is there, there will be men who will strive to keep it alive.
That is a valid point. I worked for a failing company once. It should have gone broke 5 years before it did. The writing was on the wall. The only reason it drug out so long was because management was still getting a paycheck and surprisingly performance bonuses.

Canadian Residential School Deaths
by Simon inin case you haven't heard, they just discovered the remains of some 215 dead children at a so called canadian residential school.
they couldn't call it a death-camp could they ... it would be too obvious.. these were where indigenous children were taken, forcibly, in order to "educate" them out of their native customs and languages and make them integrate with society.. unbelievably, this was still going on in the 60s to 90s.. of course the catholic church has their sticky fingers all over it.
what is it about those creepy bastards?

Even the white kids hated going to the catholic boarding schools. The nuns were very abusive to the kids that went there. Many of them remained good Catholics and won’t talk bad of the church.
Hopefully this will give some the courage to speak up about how badly they were treated by the church as kids.

Have You Been “Gaslit”?
by minimus ingaslighting is a form of sustained manipulation that causes the victim to question or doubt their sanity, judgment and memories.
it’s a form of emotional abuse.
i think jehovah’s witnesses have been gaslit.

Remember how it felt before you woke up. Living forever in a Righteous World.
by pistolpete ini woke up early in life.
it’s not because i was smarter than my brothers and sisters.
in fact, reflecting back, i actually don’t know why i didn’t embrace the watchtower teachings?

It is a true kindness to help those who hate you. Much like the Good Samaritan in Jesus teachings. This is true Christianity in action.
The villain is not our parents that have written us off as bird food. The true villain is the watchtower that CONvinced our folks they would never grow old thus never need to plan for old age, and shun their adult children who they would need later in life.
An older couple in our congregation who all of their children were disfellowshipped had no place to go. The congregation bought them a one way ticket to her worldly sister out west to take care of them. Sad.
