What’s your favorite "News" website?
by Wonderment innews in general are supposed to be unbiased.
but given how commercial and political interests get their tentacles around them, finding a fully unbiased news website is not so easy.. here in america some would rather trust bbc or reuters than they do cnn or fox news.
any favorites?.

My favorite among the many would be RT. It is very refreshing to see news and programming which encourages Critical Thinking and discusses many topics that the MSM won't touch. Rather reminds me of the "good old days" in America when Journalism was real.

Quote from Dub Stepped:
I am an atheist now. That doesn't mean that I'm opposed to the concept of a god, it just means that I don't see the evidence for one. I would LOVE for there to be a god. I would LOVE to know that I was created with a purpose.
Then you will not be disappointed when All is Revealed in Due Time. The WTBorg Cult Inc. version of what is to come is quite twisted. The beautiful thing about what is coming is that All Will Be Made Whole and Well. None will be forgotten or left out.

Quote from Smiddy 3:
You do make some good points Old Navy but obviously not all people who play these games and watch these movies act out with them otherwise we would all really be up shit creek.
Agreed. It is truly a fortunate fact that most who indulge in such games are not tempted to act out what they indulge in within the games. But the question remains: Why do we have those kinds of video games which are heavy in violence and killing? Or movies and television programs which portray violent killing and death with impunity? In the early days (until the late 1060s) of movies and television there wasn't so much of an obsession with violence, murder and mayhem as it is done these days.
Is there a connection or not? Where do those who do the shootings and other mass murder events get their ideas? How are they learning how to do it with maximum effectiveness before being either killed or apprehended?

Quote from Smiddy3:
How long will this madness continue before the authorities come to grip with it and find the solution ?
Quote from Silent Buddha:
The solution to the problem is to figure out and treat the issues that are leading th ese children to want to kill.
Some of the most popular Video Games played by male youth involve shooting and killing a "target" with very realistic Computer Generated Images of the damage done to a body by a bullet or even more powerful weapons. Once a young man is desensitized to human death and bloodshed then there is too frequently a desire to move to the "next level."
Many TV programs and movies now glorify rebellious behaviors and feature very bloody scenes of death and mayhem.
These sorts of visual/audio stimuli are a recent development in the evolution of the Western Way of Life. Is it really any wonder that some youth choose to "act out" what they've seen?

"Demons" Living In My Brothers Gym Equipment

Quote from Pale Emperor:
Where do I even begin with this one?
The "High Control" tactics of the WTBorg Cult Inc. do seriously border on the "insane."
If the JDubs were just able to read their Bibles without the very weird interpretations of the WTBorg Cult Inc. and their very strange Doctrine (Rules of Men) they'd find that there is really nothing to fear.
The Biblical answer to such concerns is straight forward and uncomplicated. The "Demons" have no power over us at all unless we play their games and "give them permission" to screw with our minds. And this is what the WTBorg Cult Inc. effectively does; gives the Demons "permission" to instill "fear" by means of their indoctrination and mind control. Fear is their primary means of control and they exploit it mercilessly as they indoctrinate their followers with made up Doctrine which is contrary to what the Bible simply explains.
The Demons (yes, they exist) are only able to do what we agree to enable them to do by playing their games. The WTBorg Cult Inc. are heavily invested in "Playing Their Games."

Trump mentality = Watchtower mentality
by doubtfull1799 inthe fake news is working overtime.
just reported that, despite the tremendous success we are having with the economy & all things else, 91% of the network news about me is negative (fake).
why do we work so hard in working with the media when it is corrupt?

Trump has shown us all that he is truly a
"Fake President." Proving quite decisively
that the lies told by him during the campaign
and election process were just that: Lies.
What a horrible disappointment he's become.
Narcissist Bullying Tyrants we've had in our past
but none quite like The Donald. He's taking America
straight into the dumpster.

The Label Of "Apostate" And It's Effects
by pale.emperor inin my psychology studies we've been examining the use of "labels" and how they influence peoples behaviour.
i sometimes wonder if the gb or their helpers know exactly what they're doing when it comes to psychological manipulation.. it's been observed that by labeling someone or something it changes your entire perception of that person or thing.
it colours it entirely, quite unfairly in some cases.

Quote from Sir 82:
My opinion (valuable or valueless as it might be) is that the GB have not studied psychology. They are, for the most part, nitwits.
JWs are far from the only group who use labeling to vilify their opposers. In fact, I'd say it is a hallmark of virtually any high-control group.
I think it just sort of comes "organically". Leaders of high-control groups tend to have similar psychological & emotional profiles - that sort of person is "drawn" toward trying to control the thoughts & actions of others. I.e., such people tend to join, then "float" to the top of, such organizations.
The methods for exercising control, including pejorative labeling of opposers, is something that "just happens naturally" - there is a path that virtually every such person or group stumbles across, that works for them.
I agree. By some process the WTBorg Cult Inc. has imported the controlling tactics of numerous other cults. They may not understand the psychology behind the workings of such tactics but they certainly observe the results which apparently they find "very pleasing." Coupled with the truth that "Power Corrupts" as witnessed by the decades long efforts of The Cult to increase their power over the minds and bodies of their enslaved followers.
I really love being an Apostate.
