putting this under "friends" because i couldn't figure out where to put it.
it is very often on here and in ex jw videos, ect that people like to undermine some of those who once we would have called friends.
there seems to be a view that window washers, plumbers, cleaners, construction workers are somehow less intelligent than those who may be college educated.
I'm just not sure what you are blathering about. .A lot of this around this place
I don't think anyone is forcing you to read threads here, or forcing you to stay. You are free to leave without repercussions if you don't like it here. Then you won't have to suffer people "blathering" about anything.
See, an insult works both ways.
dear brothers!.
we have gathered here because, according to your claims, i have apostatized, and as elders, it is your duty to maintain the purity of the flock.
it seems now that someone has contaminated it, apparently.
T.D.L.
In my opinion.

Sadly personal observation before quitting the CONvention hassle proved just the opposite. IMO.
article from the last days newsletter (june 5-11, 2023).
it has been said that by reading the watchtower and awake!
magazines, along with other publications of jehovah’s witnesses, a person will receive, over a period of years, a considerable and broad education.. …would you like to grow in knowledge, obtaining an education of even much greater value than can be received in any college?
snide remarks of, "You think too much" made JW's feel guilty for using their own brains.
They tried that B.S. comment on me more than once. I mentioned it to my father and his suggested reply was to say to them, "No, I don't think TOO much. YOU don't think enough!"
So nice to not have to put up with that garbage any more.
i've filed this under news and world events, although i could've posted it under entertainment, lol.
apparently, joe biden will be seeking re-election for another term in the white house.. this, despite a recent poll showing that 70% of people don't want him to run again.. biden just has to be the worst president i've seen.
his gaffes, over-relience on a prompter, and, more than any other president, his refusal to answer journalists' questions, all go to make him top of the list in terms of bad presidents.. it will certainly provide entertainment, if nothing else..
One day that machine will turn on you if you step out of line.
Reminds me of this:
First They Came by Pastor Martin Niemöller
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
so the end was going to come by 2000 as documented in the magazines back in the late 80's early 90's.. so how did they get the time off so badly ( over two decades and still nothing) since the gb is jehovah's earthly mouthpiece right ?

They don't infer a date anymore because it's just around the corner.
They even have a song with that line in it.
if you live in the northeastern part of the us, the air is filled with smoke.

I'm surprised the vax nutters around here aren't claiming the fires are caused by unvaccinated people spontaneously bursting into flame.

Can't blackface Justin Trudeau legislate some kind of law about smoke. He seems to think he has more power than most mortal men.

i haven't a clue if it's technically feasible but i think if you're going to hit the dislike button on a post you should be open to discussion with the poster.. just your own topics and posts of course.
what do you think simon?.
When I downvote a post it has not ever been because of WHO made the post, it has been WHAT the post said, and I have downvoted some of even Simon's posts for that reason. I do not always have to spell out a reason for a downvote. There are more times than not I just don't give any vote one way or another. That said there are a very few posters here that I personally cannot abide almost everything they post, those I just go by and move on to something more interesting.
