  hall crash

  by intrigue169 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i live in the des moines iowa area , i would be interested in doing a kingdom hall crash after watching some on youtube, i would love to do that with a group of people.

  i haven't meet any other ex jw around here.

  i was never baptized, i always knew i could never live up to jehovah's standard so i never did even consider baptizing.

  No, Trump's an absolute failure as a president. Peace out, Mr. Flipper

  Absolute failure?
  

  Words have meanings, Flipper. Stop guzzling the absolutism kool-aid.
  

  Here are four things he succeeded at that I'm happy with.

  1: Tax-cut bill

  - I know how much leftists like you love taking people's money away from them, but Taxation is Theft, and letting me keep more of my own hard-earned money has improved my family life for the better. You probably haven't experienced the benefits of this bill, though, because you live in tax-happy California.
  

  2. Revoked the Individual Mandate of the ACA

  - I pay for health insurance for my family because it's what I should do. However, I don't want the federal government by law requiring me to pay a private company money. It sets a bad precedent for control of individual finances.

  3. The Economy

  - Consumer confidence at 17-year high, more than 2 million jobs created, mortgage applications for new homes rise to a 7-year high, unemployment rate at 17-year low, signed the Promoting Women In Entrepreneurship Act, investment in America's economy from major businesses (FoxConn, Toyota, Ford and others)

  4. First President in office to publicly say he would support legislation for the decriminalization of Marijuana.

  - I'm 100% on his side for this, although I eventually want it legalized for recreational use.

  ----

  Now, whether you like these things he's done or not, you can't say he's an "absolute failure" as these things were part of the platform he was elected on. He's been successful in making headway on his agenda.

  Now, if your measure of success is "does everything I want and does nothing I disagree with", then there's no helping you.

  There are things Trump has done that I disagree with. I don't like his Twitter personality (although it is entertaining to see people get so triggered by it). Though I think we need to be tough on trade, I don't like him negotiating tariffs in the public eye. That approach should only be a last resort. I want him to be tougher on Human Rights issues with our allies and enemies. The most I've seen him do is condemn Syria and Iran. He needs to also condemn Saudi Arabia and China.

  ----

  I don't have Trump Derangement Syndrome...I don't have Social Media (deleted all my accounts) so I don't get worked up through a feedback loop of an echo chamber. I call Trump out when I feel he's wrong (Syria Strikes).

  I would love to vote for a more classically liberal candidate in 2020, however the only front-runners the Democrats seem to be promoting are far-left idealogues that promote Marxist ideology.

  If my choices are between Trump and a far-left Marxist like Kamala Harris, I'm voting for Trump again. At least he's in favor of the individual over the collective.

  Separating children at the border....

  i mean, the law about separating children from their fathers crossing southern us border have been in the books since before obama's era.

  the thing is that enforcing that law it has become a public relations disaster for the trump administration.

  there's also to much animosity in latin america too, remember the classic agitator "u.s. is the evil empire that treat us badly just to see always their own interests".

  The left:

  "Latin America isn't a sh!t hole!"

  "Make America Mexico Again!"

  "Viva Mexico!"

  Also the left:

  "OMG, don't send them back!"

  "They're asylum seekers! Don't you know what's going on in their country?"

  I was just about to post this.

  This article is damning. Maybe even more of a "red pill" than the Candace Conti story.

  Unfortunately, if a Witness isn't mentally ready to wake up, this won't even phase them...they'll probably see the tattoo this brave young lady has and then not even read the article because "Tattoo=Satan."

  Why Do People Oppose Jehovah's Witnesses?

  by BlackSpirit in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  jesus christ, the son of the most high god, jehovah has this to say: "if the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.

  if you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own.

  now because you are no part of the world, but i have chosen you out of the world, for this reason the world hates you.

  I don't think BlackSprit knows what solid, concrete, unassailable, objective evidence is.

  You can't cite scripture to prove that God exists. That's like citing JRR Tolkein to prove that literal Dragons exist.

  First: I need solid, concrete, unassailable, objective evidence that a God exists.

  Second: I need solid, concrete, unassailble, objective evidence that the Bible is the infallible divine word of that God.

  When you come back to me with the above, I'll tell you what my third requirement is.
