  The clown factory at Warwick

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it just amazes me how the clown factory at the borgs basilica in warwick could produce 8 clown popes that act like self-licking ice cream cones and the jdubs take them so seriously.

  if the popes said that they were going to have a bible signing session at a king dumb hall 8 hours away that so many jdubs would make the trip the town would be swamped with traffic.. you know what is truly sad is when during jdub public prayers, the governing body gets more praise than the head of the congregation.

  all jesus gets is the final "in jesus name.".

  There's no place - NO GODDAMN PLACE - for assault weapons in civilized society. Until people are so shocked that they voluntarily give up their right to have guns so that others have the right to live, this will not change. That may never happen, but that's what needs to.

  How long can any given individual say "the right to own a gun is more important than X number of lives taken with the use of a gun"? What is that X for each person? For a gun control advocate, that number may be 0. For a gun rights advocate, that number may be a million, half the population of the country, all of the population of the country? Right now, the number of lives taken is obviously not enough for gun owners to voluntarily give up their guns. I don't think gun control alone is the answer. I'm just saying if that's what's desired, then the public has to be willing to give it up. All of it. Like other civilised countries have done.

  One particularly illustrative review of the Jewish tendency toward insularity which colors the general perception -- again -- fairly or unfairly --- is the impact of the Orthodox community on the recent history of Lakewood New Jersey -- Its phenomenal growth and what that has meant for the town. It was chronicled in a nine-part series by the state's largest newspaper, the StarLedger: https://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2017/08/window_on_lakewood_inside_the_fastest-growing_comm.html

  On YouTube... Lakewood's explosive birth rate... second highest in the world!

  Regional JW "Culture" - Did you experience any differences that surprised you?

  by Diogenesister in

  2. beliefs

  so this particular comment on another topic got me thinking about "regional" jw cultures.

  things that were acceptable in one area you lived in, that were absolutely verboten in the jw hall/circuit you perhaps grew up in etc.

  never met jws that cared if people played chess, and i knew a number of people who did play chess.

  is christendom the antitype of ancient apostate jerusalem?.

  previous understanding: unfaithful jerusalem is a prophetic type of christendom.
