  it is said of drunken behavior "i didn't know what i was doing - i was drunk.

  " as if alcohol makes people do things against their own character and temperament.. .

  i've known just a few alcoholics in my lifetime.

  Are You Satisfied With The Way The News Media Acts?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  it would be a wonderful thing if the news media tried to exercise some fairness when they report the news or editorialize on a matter.

  if the news media does not stop showing bias, i would like to see sanctions of some sort on the cnn’s of the world.

  i really don’t think they can make the media fair but it would be nice..

  Why it's good to discuss politics (but if you don't want to, you don't have to)

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was reading through this site the other day and came across several posts by different posters lamenting this site, saying what a shame it has gone from debating jw believers to talking politics and current affairs.. there are a few issues i have with these kind of posts.. first, discussing politics is actually a good thing.

  well, in case you haven't noticed, we in the west are going through a culture war.

  certain groups of far-leftists are trying - and sometimes succeeding - to shut down free discussion.

  a month ago it might have been questionable.

  not now.

  after bader’s death and biden’s inability, this shouldn’t be close.

  my first thought when seeing this headline was; "how could trump be right?

  greetings, friends across the two ponds:.

  of course, as per other posters' recommendations, i could google this; i have and remain, not totally confused, but wanting the straight dope as well as nuanced meaning.

  i'm both curious and needing to know for purposes of editing works of american and british writers.

  Goodbye my friends.

  2. friends

  for almost 12 years now, i have been coming to this site on a regular basis and in the last 5, i “faded out”.

  i never regretted this and never will.

  unfortunately though, yesterday, i realized that, until i can publically tell all my old acquaintances why i have left, i will never be truly free.

  May I ask for help about Egyptian chronology and Neolithic settlements?

  by paradiseseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the first things that shook my faith as a teenager was learning about egypt and how its history goes back as far as 3500 bc, much earlier than the flood.

  also learning about the first settlements like çatalhöyük, which flourished around 7500 bc, much earlier than the creation of adam.

  the only answer i got from my mother was that this world is dominated by satan and thus we cannot trust in worldly chronologies.
