Once I realized the watchtower didn't really understand basic Christology, the new conevant or how the bible is the story of God and the jews and then god and the church, the idea there is any real kind of prophetic insight in the esactogolical parts of the bible is ridiculous.

29Book of Revelation
by Whynot inone of the things that really bothered me is how most of the book of revelation isn't understood by most jws.
most of the trumpets were already sounded many decades ago, is that still right?
it seems like most jws just look the other way.

Harley is just announcing they moving a factory to Europe to get around tariffs and the increased price of metal.
The ship Building industry in America announced they will finished in about two years due to higher steel prices the rest of the world doesn't have to pay.
China announced they will placing a 25 percent tariffs on US beef and pork for Trumps tariffs. Don't worry, there is l.4 billion mouths to feed.
Fed rises interest rates and the Dow dropped 400 points. My mortgage payments get bigger and my pension just got smaller.
At least I will get job in a Nike factory or a steel mill.
One week in Trumps America.

Each day I listen to Michael Savage and Glen Beck , partly because I have conservative values and partly because I think it is funny but the idea of Obama being a bad president is ridiculous.
Bush was a terrible president.
It's funny how Trump supporters brag about record low unemployment rates and now want to tear apart the deals that got the US to this point to begin with.

The sad part about Trump is it going to take about 7 years for the US to see the effects of his economic policies.
Destroying the economies of your allies and trading partners, screwing the US consumer, inflation and higher interest rates.
It's too bad people of falling it again. It was done under by Nixon and W Bush.

Since Democrats Are All About the “Children” why does ABORTION Not Bother Them?
by minimus inif everything is supposed to be about the lives of children, how can they hypocritically fight to take babies and kill them?

I consider myself pro life and absolutely hate how the pro choice movement works to devalue human life.
But the reality is there are lots of desperate women in desperate situations and anything unborn child under 12 weeks, fetal pain and viability are not issues.
I guess that's kind of how we reason it. Still I don't like it.

The unemployment rate has been in steady decline of about half a percent a year since 2012. Plus we are in the middle of seeing the largest generation ( the baby boomers) in US history start to retire.
Some psychological benchmarks of the unemployment have been reached under Trump but the wheels were in motion long before he was in office.
Plus rising wages are soon to be eaten by inflation and tariffs.

The part that really pisses me about Trump is he is taking credit for years of deficit spending and low interest rates working there way though the system , like he suddenly did something to change things.
Then on top of it his deficits are even bigger than Obama's. If things are so great, pay your bills.

I live in a Canadian border town and most of life the Canadian dollar has been running at about. 75 US or it takes 1.25 to buy an American dollar. Everything in the US was about 25 percent cheaper but my purchasing power was limited by exchanging Canadian dollars. It was a wash.
Everything in the US now basically costs the same price as it does in Canada.. There is no point even looking at buying from the U.S. anymore
I really wish Americans knew how bad the long term results of Trump will be. He is a populist like Hugo Chavez expect he gets to screw up the entire world, not just one country.

I have actually got so good at reading there literature I can actually point to the exact sentence where it is either quoting something out of context or connecting everything though the book of revelations.
I usually find it to be two to three paragraphs of absolute nonsense about nothing. Two to three paragraphs of trashing other Christian denominations, two to three paragraphs of illrevant old testament stories then out of context or book of revelations time.
The entire reasoning book is written like that.

Hasn't anyone ever been in a Kingdom Hall and hear someone make a comment like " false religion thinks Jesus is god when he is really gods son ".
The more research i do leads to believe the term son of God is a reference to diety while son of man is a reference to humanity.
