  archie bunker from all in the family was considered by many as a racist.

  there are still many people who think and act like him.

  of course, in today’s world, there are many extremes.

  There has not been one. Obama is bi-racial. Whats not to understand?

  Is being bi-racial the same as being black?

  I live in SE NC. Race relations are pretty great. People don't like to admit this, but race relations in the south are better than the north.

  The south is far more integrated. There are fewer hate crimes in the south than in the north. Trouble starts whenever there is an election and people in big cities start race baiting and then problems arise.

  By the way, Obama was not the first black president. He was a detached, biracial, Democrat plant that loved LGBTQ and DACA kids more than citizens in his own "neighborhood". He used Chicago as a launching pad and did nothing for the community he came out of

  Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.

  latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.

  the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

  Again a 75+ year old man and a few others in that age range heartily agreed when he said, "Looking at what this government is doing to my kids by destroying the economyu and all the jobless combined with the trillions of dollars they are saddling on my grandparents, I would rather have just died and let the world continue on with this madness. II think that would have been a better contribution to my family than living another 5 or 10 years."

  The hall was in Irvington NJ. It was the Irvington South Ongregation. It was in the mid 80s to the early 90s.

  It really was. I got smacked in the mouth in front of a lot of people for laughing about it. Lol

  My kingdom hall was in a New Jersey city close to NY so we always had lunatics and very weird things happening. Along with tons of Bethelites all the time.

  Fun fact: The Wayans family went to our hall for a few years... they didn't seem to funny then. Just bad lol

  WTB&TS And The Lawyers They Employ.

  i have been thinking about the legal departments that look after the wts interests around the world.i can`t believe these legal eagles offer their services on a voluntary basis like the r&f do.and i don`t believe their services would come cheap.. as an organization the size of jw.org and its offshoots of companys and interests around the world ,the cost of keeping them gainfully employed must amount to a considerable sum of money.. especially the law suits against them with child abuse court cases that arise on a regular basis ,and the government inquiry`s into the jw religion that is happening in different countries now.. all paid for by the voluntary contributions that come from the r&f for the worldwide preaching work .. contributions to pay for the wt organization`s legal department to defend themselves in court ?.

  did jesus and the apostles pay lawyers to defend them in a court of law with funds donated by their supporters ?.

  Longhair:

  Unfortunately most people jump off the deepend and are paupers in their old age. They tell people how destructive college is, yet use those same peoples tax dollars to send someone else to school to protect their sorry behinds.

  Funny enough I was in his congregation with him and his entire family in New Jersey. He was a very arrogant guy. Tried to give over the top talks all the time, but they never really touched anyone.

  He was a newly married guy. Maybe 2 months. We were all out in service and his new wife of 2 months fell off a porch in service.

  She was literally on the ground crying holding her ankle and he kept telling her to get up, you are embarrassing yourself.

  He LITERALLY WALKED AWAY AND LEFT HER THERE. She was still there crying and a few sisters helped her up. He literally was laughing at his own wife

  She limped back over to him and carried on like nothing happened.
