i remember giving my first public talk aged 18 and even then i was thinking ' this is just me making up half truths trying to blind people with jw propaganda'.

fast forward 15 years to when i gave my final public talk and i was so close to seeding the 30 minutes with ideas that could possibly wake people up but i never had the guts.. in that 30 minutes i could have done so much real good for a person instead of spreading this awful religions dogma.

Does praying for “all those who are in positions of authority,” include the 'deep state' and all subsequent coverup's?

by was a new boy in

definition of deep state.

: an alleged secret network of especially nonelected government officials and sometimes private entities (as in the financial services and defense industries) operating extralegally to influence and enact government policy.

the power of the deep state comes from experience, knowledge, relationships, insight, craft, special skills, traditions, and shared values.

In my old congregation there was an Elder that confessed that he had a device on his (old analog) telephone that his wife would use to listen to confidential calls.

from time to time we do this vienne.

if grandpa wrote something that sounded uncomfortable or was too harsh, then you just let old grandpa apologize right up front with no questions asked.
