  Sarah Huckabee Sanders, new member of the Governing Body

  the woman has been deflecting the orange one's lies for quite sometime now as we all know, but after hearing her doing the same about the staff member who dissed mccain, i say she's an excellent candidate for the governing body, "nothing ever happened, we didn't say that, yes the number of 144,000 is growing every year and we accept that".

  i mean, why look elsewhere, she would fit in perfectly.. btw, that's also what i say with all the drumpf supporters that show up at his rallies he holds whenever his sensitive, deflated ego needs a boost.

  they cheer and rave just like the blind followers do at the circuit assemblies, they would make excellent jws, they have no problem buying into bullshit without putting any thought into anything that's being said..

  “The orange one...”

  I thought we weren’t supposed to judge people by their skin color?

  Is it okay to call Obama “The Brown one”?

  WingCommander said it best.

  If you can't discriminate based off race, sexual orientation, biological sex (because there are only two genders), or creed, why can you discriminate based off of political creed?

  Why would anyone want to spend their money where they are unwelcome?

  Tell that to the guys thrown out of Starbucks.

  Movie-goers can be fickle (great movies that should've enjoyed huge box-office success)

  just thought i'd start a thread about this topic.. john carpenter's the thing (1982) was a great film, one of his best imo.

  for me, it's right up there with alien (1979) as one of the greatest sci-fi horror films ever made.

  and yet one film made anything between $100 - 200 million at the box office whereas the other made only $19 million.

  Dirty Work is one of my favorite comedy films of all time.

  "I've never seen so many dead hookers in all of my life!"

  "We didn't have those fancy birth control methods back then...you know, like pulling out."

  Classic Norm MacDonald style of dry humor mixed with cheesy one-liners. Don Rickles makes a cameo appearance.

  while london remains substantially the safer city overall, with less than half the homicides of new york last year, according to a new report a recent spike in knife crime meant february was the first month the uk capital was home to more murders than the us city.london has endured a significant increase in knife crime, with 15 dying in february, nine of whom were aged 30 or younger.

  meanwhile 14 were killed in the big apple..

  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.

  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

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  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?

  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?.

  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?

  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..

  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).
