  No proof is known by the public, but he had the motive, he is unethical and careless. He may be a puppet of Vladimir. He definitely looks like one. But the cult members will never admit any wrong doing or any flaws in their leader. From Watchtower to Trumptower

  Alex Jones, Infowars Ban on Youtube, FB and other platforms

  what are you thoughts on this?.

  i find this alarming because jones was very outspoken and had great guests on discussing topics most other media outlets wouldn't go near.. the fact that many have restricted him access to their medium what does this say on our freedoms of speech?.

  Simon: "this is about freedom and it's better to let some idiots have a voice than to live in a world where a few different people hold too much power."

  The same freedom you have to ban any comments or people you don't like and being a small potatoes is no excuse. Fine with me. Freedom is freedom. The same freedom that the rest of us have to stop using Facebook or coming to your site.

  Congregation Reassignments in Ohio?

  by My Name is of No Consequence in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  from what i understand, a letter was read this past week in regards to congregation reassignments and that the elders want to meet with people at their homes to tell them where they have been reassigned.

  obviously, this would be due to the merging and dissolution of congregations.

  can anyone confirm this?.

  You are right Morph, the morale of the few will continue steadfast until death, not too far into the future, then what...then death of another cult.

  Liberal vs. Democrat in the U.S.A.

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it seems that many believe that a liberal in the usa must be a democrat, pretty much following the party core teachings and some even think it means approving the party history of, during the 19th century, supporting or tolerated slavery and opposing civil rights reforms after the civil war.

  some even insist that a liberal loves anything and everything obama did..

  balderdash!!.

  History is important, but irrelevant when it comes to present facts. Help me here those who know better, but I feel that racism is not necessarily attached to the political party, it's more likely it to be attached to the individual or the tribe. More specifically, the proslavery South was Democrat until recently, now is Republican. Am I supposed to believe that Southerners have become enlightened by switching parties. I don't think so. Racist views remain for generations and have very little to do with Democrat or Republican labels. That's not to say that all Southerners, or even most Southerners are racist. They just tend to be above average when compared to other states.

  Do You Typically Accept The Press As Being Unbiased And Honest?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there is more “ yellow journalism “ than ever before!

  newscasters and writers that you thought were trustworthy often miss the mark.. do you generally accept the “news” as being honest?.

  The success of so much bias news to the left and to the right doesn't speak very well of the readers. In fact, isn't it the U.S. one of the most religious country? That should help understand why the fake news is so successful. Children are indoctrinated very early and by the time they are adults they are well trained to believe only the stuff that has been fed into their brains in the early years.

  Having learned a thing or two about cults and cult members make me realize that humans have a need for confirmation bias through religion, or media, or any other means. Nobody wants to be wrong, and our brains will endure any cognitive dissonance levels to avoid disconfirmation. Will it ever get better? I hope so, but I am not very optimistic.

  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

  by purrpurr in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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?

  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!
