  Haven't the Governing Body heard of testosterone levels in teenage boys?

  Agree, the letter was concocted by someone who knows nothing about teenage girls or love letters, or flirting, or love, or ...reality. .

  The bread pan illustration is totally flawed

  it just suddenly occured to me today.... you know the jws always say about adams sin being passed on to his descendants that its like you have a bread pan with a dent in it and that every loaf of bread will then have a dent?

  well that's fine for bread, cos your using the same pan.

  but that's not how genetics work?.

  The JW's have a flawed interpretation of something that is very flawed already (original sin belief or doctrine) and depends on something fraught with problems (Judaism, Christianity, a loving, personal God that murders left and right, etc.) Is it worth even having a discussion?

  Encouraging the nasty angels of our nature

  i see stories like this one, and think we are losing our way as a nation.

  reverting to tribalism and racism.

  i wonder if its always been there lurking beneath the surface, and it just took someone to encourage it a bit.. https://edition.cnn.com/2018/06/26/us/woman-berates-man-viral-rant-don-lemon-cnntv/index.html?utm_medium=social&utm_content=2018-06-26t08%3a30%3a04&utm_term=link&utm_source=fbcnn.

  "and unlimited access to unfiltered propaganda"

  Some people here worry about mainstream media. Yes, they lean left heavily, but try to adhere to journalistic standards and are crucified when they don't. The bigger problem is the new media: talk radio, internet, social networks. In these places there's no journalistic standards at all. Fake news, illegal immigration, identity politics and Islamists gave us Trump. Having listened to conservative talk radio for over 20 years, I can assure you president Donald Trump and the current tribalism wouldn't be possible without this media. Conservative talk radio is a f..ing cult too!

  Yep. POTUS set the example and people feel encouraged. Say what you may about Obama's progressive policies, he was a man that was articulate, diplomatic, professional. Something Trump will never be, but for some strange reason the supporters don't care about civility and diplomacy. Strange times we live in.

  Does anyone know of this guy, or agree with his statements on racial differences in IQ?

  by Sugar Shane in

  2. beliefs

  here are some quotes by the guy, from his youtube channel.

  his name is stefan molyneux, and he’s apparently popular among the alt-right crowd.

  he’s also widely quoted on these discussion boards, by certain ex-jws, who use him to help promote their political views.

  I never thought that I would see the day when Republicans and Democrats would agree on something as important as race. Democrats had been pushing the idea of "race matters" for decades. Now Republicans are coming on board and agreeing that "race matters" That's progress... towards a unified racist society. Let's give credit where credit is due, thank you Trump!! United we fall!

  Hejalapeno,

  Your narrative is identical to a Watchtower subject. "The other guys are always the problem, not my group"

  I have been very good friends for years with a very progressive woman even though she knows i have always leaned libertarian and even was part of the Republican cult until recently. By the way, she is a wonderful community leader, who works harder than anyone else in anything related to making the community better for Republicans and Democrat families. She volunteers full time raising funds an creating new programs to improve education, helping the poor and victims of domestic violence. She walks the walk. I hope one day you do the same.

  "woman who lies compulsively". So you do care about lies. I would have sworn that that was the last of your concerns.

  Holy shit! ...a video about the lower IQ of the immigrants (with 4 likes already). Even if the statistics support the claims, this type of video will lead us the way of the Third Reich. We are in a lot of deep , very deep shit. "Blood and soil" rears its ugly head again"

  Simon:

  "They are 'fake news' because they are twisting the facts and using unclear language"

  This is the new way to assess the news. "If it doesn't fit my narrative is fake news". Thank you Trump for the phrase. Way to go! Do we stand a chance of having intelligent conversations or debates. Scary times, very scary times when intelligent people join dangerous cults.
