I thought Pence was a middle of the road Republican before I heard him speak.
The guy is an evangelical nut job.

Does Mr Trump have his own 'hotline' to Russia's President Putin?
by fulltimestudent inaccording to australian newspaper, the canberra times (for aussies, its a fairfax publication) trump is able to contact putin and the conversations cannot be tapped.
(an interesting claim).. quote 1:.
"a former senior western intelligence operative, a specialist in russian counterintelligence deemed credible in washington, has provided the fbi with evidence that trump 'and his inner circle have accepted a regular flow of intelligence from the kremlin, including on clinton, since russian intelligence had compromised trump during his visits to moscow – so that he could be blackmailed'.

During one of the Clinton debates when discussing Syria , Trump made a pretty decent point about do we really know who these Syrian rebels really are? The ones the Russians are bombing.
I remember as a kid in the 80s the romantic notion of these brave warriors fighting the big bad soviets and the billions of dollars we gave them. Those guys turned into al queda and the Talib an. It's nice to see that wasn't completely lost on Trump.

My story is in the late 60s and early 70s my family (grandparents) were part of the United Church of Canada. It use to be the biggest denomination in Canada.
Then it took a real liberal turn. First termister abortion was OK, having gay Members, gay ministers etc etc.
My uncles were turned on to the WTS because they were hard asses about the Bible.
All those ruined lives over good intentions.

There has been two jw women in the last two weeks die giving birth in Canada, yet there hasn't been a peep about it my hall. It's also all over the news.
It seems odd for an organization that preaches martyrdom all the time, they sure don't seem to want to talk about it when it happens.
Or is it just my hall?

If the GB changed a major teaching, would all witnesses just go along with it?
by stuckinarut2 inso if the gb changed its "bible based beliefs" on some teaching, would witnesses all of a sudden change their individual beliefs too?.
witnesses like to claim that "their bible trained hearts and minds" make them believe as they do, but we know that the reality is that all witnesses hold their "deep seated beliefs" according to what they have been told to believe.. so what would cause the average witness to question those that dictate their "personal convictions"??.
thoughts?.

I am still floored they just accept the new understanding of the faithful slave. The WTS always danced around the cult issue with the anointed class.
(We are not a cult because cults they small groups of human leaders. Are leadership is jehovah God and his annoited remnant).
Then they fired the remnant and no one even cared. It's like they just gave up pretending they weren't a cult.
