Buddhism is acknowledging the only person who can save us is our self.
Correct but mankind needs science and knowledge to help us on a path toward a better living experience.
One can still appreciate the ideology of what Buddhism represents though .

The people who run the WTS/JWS must not be very smart because when the org. first refused the Aussie redress scheme that hit the media giving the JWS a bad pubic image, then they realized it was going to cost them some cash so they changed their minds.
JWS are supposed to obey government rules and laws anyways so why didn't they say well I guess we should do this brothers ?

If the WTS there didn't have tax exempt status all donations and profits such as what may occur at assemblies, personal donations, investments the WTS have would be subject to taxation.
Money has a way clarifying things doesn't it ?

Derek Chauvin - The Right to a Fair Trial
by Simon inanyone following the derek chauvin trial?.
if you are actually following it, not just listening to the media, you will likely realize that there is a huge gap between what is going on in court and what is being reported in the media.. if the trial was fair, i think he should be acquitted.
there is plenty of reasonable doubt about the cause of death (his dealer doesn't want to testify because he could be guilty of 3rd degree murder for selling him a fatal amount of fentanyl) and even doubt over whether the officer even had his knee on the guys neck or did anything counter to what they were meant to do as per policy.. but is it fair?

What I find annoyingly stupid about this case is why did all the cops after one cop took a pulse check on to Floyd and said there was none did any of the cops make a suggestion to turn him over and try to resuscitate him ?
I dont see the murder charges going through but criminally negligent manslaughter which was one of the charges.
Even that wont sit well with some people, so yeah there will be riots in the streets once again, because after all it was a race issue .........or was it ?

There is a statistically decline in JWS ie.those getting baptized, all over the world even in the US its base country.
After the virus obstruction is over with, one should expect that there are going to be even less participation in the JWS religion due to people just dropping out..
The WTS/JWS religion was built up upon lies, pretense and false biblical teachings, instigated and influenced no doubt by the organization's own commercial literature inspirations. (Religious charlatanism)

Sale of kingdom halls
by inbetween09 inwe all know of kingdom halls being sold for the past few years.
recently i ran into an elder from a nearby congo, and he told me, that they were in the process of selling their hall, but sudenly it was paused, and he expressed it like the gb put a stop to all selling projects world wide.
any of you heard about that ?.

Probably because the WTS knows that they can get more $$$ if they wait until the Covid problem is over.
Greed is righteous.

Yes it does, mostly due to the fact that all religions in one way or another were devised by fictional mythological story telling based from human ignorance .
Some are more structured to be more unaccepted to known reality derived from evidence of truth and knowledge, creating in its place fear, superstition and ignorance.

As far as the JWS go and aliens they dont exist, no life outside planet earth exists accept spirits in heaven and oh yes god..
Science tells us that there very well be life as we know it on other planets since there are 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 planets in our observable Universe.
That being so let us not be presumptuous to think that no other planet in the universe has any kind of life.
Whether they have the capability to build rocket ships to move about the universe or even break through are own atmosphere without burning up is another question .

I wouldn't encourage any interaction with JWorg. not unless you enjoy single minded lies and corruption by men who are self avowed to be that way for their own sake.
In case it hasn't be accepted yet this is dangerous killing religious cult that's built up through lies, ignorance and fear.
