I would say that Legalism definitely took hold under Boozerferd and has only gotten worse.

Where it all went wrong for the WT - JF Rutherford
by LoveUniHateExams ini was thinking a bit about this the other day.
ct russell, from what i remember about him, kinda seemed like a genuine, nice(ish) guy, although he had a few eccentric but harmless ideas.. during the russell era jws (actually bible students) could still celebrate christmas, worship in other churches if there was no kingdom hall available, and accept blood transfusions.. then after russell died, along came rutherford - a major league a-hole, for sure.. rutherford had plenty of eccentric ideas but at least some of them weren't/aren't harmless.
some have been long forgotten about - jesus depicted without a beard, the plan to rename the names of the week because names such as thursday (thor's day) is pagan, the articles about the 'dangers' of aluminium, etc.. one key contribution of rutherford which does a lot of harm is no blood transfusions, even in life-threatening situations.. another is shunning, something which never occurred under russell, or at least was much milder.. rutherford has a lot to answer for, i reckon ....

The Inflation reduction act will not work. Just look at who will be targeted… the Middle Class, just like always… Why?? Because of numbers, plain and simple. The sheer volume of the middle class means they must be made to pay more and more taxes/fees by any means possible.
The Chips….. 🤦🏻♂️ First Biden’s handlers and other moronic Socialists/Communists, whatever you want to call them…strengthen China’s resolve… then Witch Pelosi ( inside trading expert) just happens to take a diplomatic trip to Taiwan… now we are going start making Chips in the US.. 🤔
I wonder who is positioned to profit from all of this while the Middle Class continue to be taxed?? Also, we know have a younger ( woke ) group of up and coming IRS agents being trained to shoot people… Sounds like Obama Bin Laden will get his army one way or the other… better stop trying to make money on EBay and Etsy and Craigslist to make ends meet… the old Witch needs her cut…
Of course we could streamline the Government and make some of the useless employees get real jobs… but I’ll let you calculate the odds of that happening.

That’s a terrible title for a post. How about, “What are your thoughts on X?” Sounds very cult-like…
Elder: “What did you like about Faithful Slave’s adjustment about X?”
What if I don’t like any of it? What if I disagree with every fiber of my being??

The politicians running the hearings just keep lying and saying that the Jan 6th rioters killed Capitol Police, even though it’s not true. It’s been proven to be false.
They hired someone to produce the hearings….. They won’t release all the security footage…
What’s wrong with your brain that makes you believe “Mean Tweet Orange Man Bad!! Pelosi Good!!!” 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️

Roe vs Wade Overturned by US Supreme Court!
by Simon ini know there was a leak a few weeks back, but this really does seem to have come out of the blue.. the anomaly was the original decision.
it clearly had no basis in law or the constitution, and was a flimsy, ridiculous ruling.
plus the whole thing was based on a fraudulent case in the first place.. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61928898.

Of course there is a scientific reference to being viable, but you cannot take a life without considering, at least in someway, the importance of life. You cannot separate the two. If you could, then we wouldn’t have laws against murder, or a concept of justifiable homicide.
The value of life is what is intrinsically tied to this entire argument, otherwise abortion/non-abortion wouldn’t be an issue because no one would care at all. We wouldn’t care about pregnant mothers who die, and we wouldn’t care about unborn children, or very young children who die, or old people in nursing homes separated from their family because of Covid.
Without the fundamental understanding that life has a value there’s no reason to care about anyone, except for how they may happen to benefit you in the moment. We may as well be lower animals if that’s how we view life.

Here’s my take for what it’s worth…
1) The “viability” argument isn’t viable. I can take a sampling of modern humans, drop them in the wilderness and they are no longer “viable.” That doesn’t mean their lives aren’t important.
2) I never thought I would agree with Bill Clinton, but abortions should be rare, and safe. The Far Left insanity that has young girls celebrating promiscuity, and abortion like it’s cool, and not a massively irresponsible course has to stop. The same goes for males. Social responsibility is not being advocated and we are seeing the results.
3) Most folks seem to be falling for propaganda again. Morons attacking Police in LA where they can still get an abortion. 🤦🏻♂️
I think we are seeing what happens when Elites run the media with the express intent of creating a subservient class. The educational system is a failure. I’m not a lawyer but I can take the time to ready about Roe V Wade, and understand why it should never have been, and understand that the very process that just overturned it also benefits those who wish to protest.
There has to be a standard and it cannot be thrown out just because we feel like it. I suppose the alternative is to just violently burn it all down and see what happens.

After hours of pondering Shadowclone’s many faceted/high resolution views there seems to be only one logical solution.
We need some kind of Organization, definitely backed by the Elite, to start implementing steps to dissolve any political parties that don’t agree with…I don’t know…some kind of World Wide ( Global? ) agenda?
They would have to get political leaders in their pocket and probably infiltrate communities on the local level. Of course they would need some kind of Mass Media that would act in unison while simultaneously censoring all opposing viewpoints. Disarming the general population would also be advantageous.
This would all take decades of course, but if you have a “long game” mentality you could pull it off. After all, most people are to busy just trying to make ends meet so they probably wouldn’t notice. The hierarchy of needs of the general population would ensure that most won’t be able to affect any sort of changes, or resist. Besides, it would be for their own good.

I’m glad this forum allows free speech. If you can’t share multiple viewpoints then you never know who the idiots are.

At least we know Shadowclone is still an idiot. We can find some comfort in that during these uncertain times.

Wow. Just seeing this.. I’ll say two things:
1) Years ago I was emailing Lloyd about the Candice Conti case, along with Rick Simmons. Later I asked Lloyd for advice on starting a Channel and he quit emailing me. Maybe he was busy, and not just ignoring me because he had the goal of being THE Channel?? Let’s hope so.
2) Be careful on the Internet. You watch one video of a beautiful lady with a “secret surprise” and you’re off to Thailand. I’ve seen it a million times. Those gorgeous Lady-Boys will destroy your life.
