Not pissed at my parents for raising me in it. They were both raised in it too.
I am pissed that they’re shunning me.
my mother was not the most emotionally stable person.
she was a follower and instilled in me the idea we were better than those worldly people.
its hard to go to school as a child and you can not be friends outside of school, you can not celebrate any holidays, and you are told all these people are going to die.

i guess it would depend for me.
some of my family i would take out bill boards pointing to them.
many of the elders it would be he is over there and set off a neon sign.
No I wouldn’t. And I would load up my AR15 and defend my family against such a tyrannical government, even if it means death.
No matter how much my family has hurt me by shunning me, I love them dearly and let go of my resentment long ago.
Liberty or Death.
Don’t Tread on Me.
hey guys, so now that i’m pretty much atheist and i’m not scared of demons or supernatural things, or bring them into my house by watching movies or reading books about them lol, i defenitly want to watch a few scary movies.
i’ve always loved scary movies, but as witness, you don’t get to watch many since they need to be pg-13 and have no spiritism in it lol.
does anyone have any suggestions?
Another vote for the latest version of Stephen King’s IT.
i could barely stand listening to it.
watching the jw pushers at the same time was too much.

Sparky1: I didn’t say it was offensive, I said it was reprehensible and petty.
see, I am very precise in my words. (Thanks, Jordan Peterson!)
do you know what atalaya means?
guess who's investing the big bucks!.

Just because their name means Watchtower doesn’t mean there’s a connection...unless you think Bob Dylan has a connection to the organization too.
those of you who own glock pistols know that it takes a bit of know-how or work to open a glock magazine for cleaning, or for adding a magazine extension to increase round capacity.
the reason why glock chose this method of retaining is to prevent accidental release of the magazine springs and cartridges in case they are dropped.
the military and law enforcement agencies appreciate this system more than the average joe.
I’m interested in firearms, but this post is so random for this forum. 😂
a basis for taking legal action against the watchtower society's blood transfusion policy.

The only reason I hesitate on this is because any lawsuit in the US on the blood doctrine as a religious teaching is likely to fail. And what happens when the society wins in court? They plaster it all over their website as confirmation that Jehovah is blessing them.

The fat shaming on this thread is reprehensible and petty.
We don’t know this guy’s individual situation.
i was wondering if racial bias is a factor in u.s. education?.
would you be concerned if it was?
why would you be concerned?.
No, culture is. Black culture is rotten. They need to stand up and fix it.
I find this comment unhelpful and unnecessarily inflammatory.
It’s not black culture that’s rotten. It’s inner-city culture.
Black, White, Hispanic...either of those raised in poverty in the inner city have a much higher likelihood of ending up in a life of crime and never ending poverty.
I just recently moved my family from a small town of about 40,000 to the second largest metropolitan area in Florida.
The schools here are overwhelmed. The school board is inaccessible to parents, teachers are underpaid and schools are understaffed. School administrators are obsessed with politics and the latest cause du jour.
My kids aren’t dummies. They’re sharp little “turdles,” as my wife and I lovingly call them. But in the town we came from, they were average, at best. In this city, they’re top of their class, straight A students without even breaking a sweat.
I can’t quite put my finger on the issue exactly or what can be done about it, but there’s something about living in the inner city and having limited resources because of how many people are living on top of each other that makes the education system suffer.
does everything happen for a reason?
i hear this from so many people without any explanation as how this is so.
what do you think about this belief?
What do you mean by “happen for a reason”? Do you mean they happen to affect something in the future? That I don’t believe.
But earthquakes do happen for a reason. That reason being that tectonic plates in the earth crash with each other.
Holocausts happen for a reason. That reason being that man frequently underestimates the capacity of their fellow man for committing evil acts.
But they didn’t happen because of fate.
However, for everything that happens to mankind, you can point to a root reason that caused it to happen.
