What demographic of people are committing the most mass shootings again?
https://www.statista.com/statistics/476456/mass-shootings-in-the-us-by-shooter-s-race/
Should we be addressing this problem?
I mean since we are trying not to be PC and all

If those statistics show anything, it's that Whites are underrepresented as mass shooters. ~62% of US Citizens are white...only 56% of US mass shooters are white. That's a -6% mass shooter representation.

Blacks: 12.5% of US population...yet, 16% of Mass shooters....

Asians: 5.6% of US population....yet, 7% of mass shooters...

So, if anything, whites are actually UNDERREPRESENTED as mass shooters, whereas Blacks and Asians are overrepresented.

so lloyd evans will shortly be releasing his new book how to leave the jehovah's witnesses.

i do enjoy his rebuttals and the stuff he manages to get hold of and leak.

but i'm struggling to understand what he could possibly write to merit a whole book.. all info on how to leave is right here on this forum.

Can you guys believe that Steve Hassan charges for his books? He even charges for ex-cult therapy sessions!

i think he’s just trying to make this a business.

Jesus Christ—The Greatest Scientist (and Psychologist) who ever lived on earth!

by Ireneus in

if we eliminate all the controversial and confusing verses attributed to jesus we will get the crystal clear truth from him because his source was (1) god which can be seen from his habit of early morning talking to god in prayer (mark 1:35; john 8:1, 2) which would not have been for material blessings (mathew 6:8; 16:24), and (2) also observance of people.. 1) jesus who said judgment is based on whether we acted humanely or not (mathew 25:31-46) would not have spoken about god’s people and pagans (which means bulk of the things found in gospel had not been spoken/done by jesus).. 2) another important truth he said was about the real key to our happiness which he said is with each one of us.

(luke 17:21).

from his observance of history, he knew there are people from adversities who made great contribution to the world; and there are people from all abundance who lived a life of wastage accomplishing nothing; and there are people who are mixed in varying degree.

“crystal clear truth”....”source was God...” 🤣🤣🤣

Which God? And what empirical evidence do you have that shows that God exists?

Where do Bethelites now go to the meetings?

by RubaDub in

with all the changes in the borg, does anyone know where all the ones that have been moved out of brooklyn go to the meetings?.

in the past, they were assigned to a number of congregations in new york city.

having now moved into more rural areas where there is no public transportation as there is in new york, where do they all go?.

Jehalapeno

They likely go to the meetings at a Kingdom Hall.

I was quite tolerant of this guy until now

by never a jw in

president trump is definitely a demagogue, a populist, and not a great extemporaneous speaker, just to mention few of his more conspicuous flaws.

however, i was going along because "it's the economy stupid".

now that has changed.

Why is it OK for the EU to impose tariffs, but not OK for the US?

If your country wants free trade, I say, you first. Why does America have to go first?

Stock market turmoil....

by mikeflood in

dow jones losing 1175 points today, equivalent to 4.60 % ..... same more or less around the world's stock exchanges.

it's like president bush said "wall street got drunk and now it's got a hangover".

i think people went irrational over investing, a correction is needed..

Jehalapeno

There was actually a much less nuanced explanation. There were auto-trade sell triggers set for when the market reached a certain threshold (I.e 26,000).
