  You MUST Sign the Data Collection Form "...obey...whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.¨"

  the many and complex issues surrounding the collection of person data and new laws aiming to protect individuals control of their own privacy, seem to have hatched about the same time as the governing body expressed their hope that it´s own 8 million would obey their order to "sign this form" effectively transfering total authority over privacy and data issues over to the borg.. what are your thoughts on this coincidence?.

  zuckerberg lost billion$$ when people realized that he had prostituted their personal data and now wt wants the same signed access that he had to info that is $$$.... wt already owns all the real estate and now wants to own all the data.... it´s a current and global issue - please share your thought with the rest of us here.. .

  Poppy cock. Thats all legal disclaimer and mumbo jumbo. The org dosent collect any of that. Notice all the uses of “may”. Again... relax. This is nothing.

  Normally you and I are pretty well on the same page. However, in this case I wonder if the use of the word "may" is just as innocuous as every other use of "may" by WT where "may" and "should" become WT marching orders?

  Of course I will admit that I am much more cautious than anyone else I personally know about loss of personal data, even to the point of shredding anything with my name on it that needs to go in the waste.

  Nepotism, a glaring lack of holy spirit operating in the congregation, and a total lack of any genuine love or forgiveness, especially on the part of eldurrs.

  18 carefully follow the latest directions.. do we faithfully follow the latest directions that jehovah has given us?

  if so, we will not rely on always doing things the way we have done them in the past.

  Drop literal number 144,000?

  I have thought that was going to happen eventually. My opinion is that "nu-lite" will be old light re-hashed, and there will be at least THREE groups of JDubs. One group, the chose little flock going to heaven to sit with Jeebus, the "great crowd" in heaven, as Revelation says, and an un-numbered bunch of "other sheep"...just ripe for shearing....

  p.s. Watching Porn is not a "scriptural" grounds for divorce.

  Ah...but when the frigid wife succeeds in catching her frustrated husband watching "porn" and then turns him in the eldurrs will "counsel" him. At that point any more viewing of "porn" or spanking the monkey will be classed as "brazen conduct" and he will be summarily "executed" (dis-fellowshipped).

  Does anyone else perceive a potential "new organizational arrangement" seed being planted in JW minds

  *** w17 February p. 26 par. 12 Who Is Leading God’s People Today? ***
  The Governing Body is neither inspired nor infallible. Therefore, it can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction.

  It's been going on already. And YES, they are building up to some, "impractical from a human standpoint", MAJOR change. On that fact I would be willing to place a large bet. And I would be just as sure that in some way it will involve the money of the R&F.

  Three Simple Reasons Why an Assault-Weapons Ban Is Bad Policy

  by freemindfade in

  i keep saying this is a bad place/policy to put all the time, energy and resources if you really do in fact care, or if you are just riding the agenda bandwagon: .

  an assault-weapons ban is irrelevant to suicide deaths.

  the large majority of gun deaths are suicides, and there is no credible argument that an assault-weapons ban will have the slightest effect on suicide.

  You are probably actually less likely to engage in useless road rage because you realize the consequences of escalation.

  Not sure immediately, I do seem to remember reading a study that proved your comment. I know as a responsible CWP firearm owner, who has the legally government issued permit so I can carry a firearm in my vehicle without it being visible to tempt thieves, I know that I refuse to engage road rage drivers for that added reason. I will not open myself to the results of yielding to emotion brought on by some liberal idiot who thinks they never have to take responsibility for their actions towards other people.

  At the same time I will not hesitate to defend my person, my family, or even one of the gun-ban nuts should their life depend on it.

  What good is a gun without ammunition?

  I have a number of those. I call them hammers.

  Now imagine that you have a pistol on the seat next to you. It changes your perspective. "If that guy knew what I had here..."

  I think Robert Heinlein had it right when he wrote, "Well, in the first place an armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life. For me, politeness is a sine qua non of civilization. That’s a personal evaluation only. But gunfighting has a strong biological use. We do not have enough things to kill off the weak and the stupid these days. But to stay alive as an armed citizen a man has to be either quick with his wits or with his hands, preferably both. It’s a good thing"

  Yes. The use of porn, maybe not so much. Porn itself, definitely. In a "religion" that practices segregation of men and women every chance they get, and is one of the most sexually repressed, sexually obsessed "religions" I have ever known it has to be an issue. The governing body and the rest of the honchos are always finding "solutions" to problems that do not exist!
