The biggest threat to young black men is other young black men. They have come to have a culture of gangs, celebrate it. The police have an attitude too, you can't get around that. BUT if there is a bulletin for a robbery suspect describing a black male, who are they supposed to stop? And don't tell me that a lot of robberies are not by black males, it is part of their "heritage" now. They feel somehow the rest of us owe them. Who labels well behaved blacks (and there are a lot) as uncle toms or "acting white"? You can see the same thing in the hispanics, the new generations have lost the old reverence for their elders.

US violent crimes and murders rose in 2016, the FBI says
by Simon ini can't remember the exact topic but i think a few people predicted the same thing - that the blm movement would cause an increase in violent deaths of young black men, ultimately doing more harm than good.. and so it has: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41391333.
an 8.6% rise in the homicide rate is pretty appalling by any standard unless it started at very low levels, which we know it didn't.. this is why i object to movements based on false premises and invented media lies / selective coverage.
the people who suffer the most are not the ones marching in the streets.

me too, but we were not giving worship to a flag or country. I don't know what these clowns are protesting now, most of them are role models for the thugs they decry.

just get on here a couple days later and everything "worth" knowing will take all of 15 minutes. You gotta remember these guys can be really wordy, I think the work is bloviate. I don't know when the original meeting is, but there are rebroadcasts for the whole weekend to cover everyone.

White supremacy is an ideology of peace
by OneEyedJoe ini'm tired of hearing these constant attacks on white supremacists after the events in charlottesville.
why are moderate white supremacists being lumped in together and sharing the blame for the actions of one reprehensible man that misinterpreted the ideals of white supremacy and became violent?
clearly the motivation of such attacks on white supremacists is nothing other than racism.

Anyone who thinks all those non whites are just poor misunderstood souls ought to move into their neighborhood. There is a gang mentality in a lot of minority groups, same as a mob mentality in a bunch of white skinned.
Go to any hospital and you will find a lot of decent caring people of all colors. This points to people needing to have a purpose. Too many have been shut out, and now want to stay victims. My doctor is a well mannered articulate smart brown woman. (and very pretty)
I think this is getting muddled, hope someone can follow my thoughts on good people that exist.

double halls signage
by road to nowhere ini visited a double hall.
one thing i noted on the bulletin board was page 3 of some letter with a large a on it.
apparently there is at least a 4 page letter complete with a proper sized a or b or c to differentiate the sides.

I know about the information board, that is why I called it what it really is any where else. Do you remember that the Kingdom Ministry was also the bulletin, informant, kingdom service and some other names I don't recall. Now it is the CLAM workbook (with little work they didn't do for you).
What amazes me is there may have been a 15 minute part about the letter. I could have done it with one page, telling them to get their own A, or draw it with a felt pen.
Then they wonder why we call the meetings boring.

This probably is a good idea, but I really think the local guys could do something on their own. Maybe west wing east wing. Part of my amazement is how much they can say without saying anything.

Relaxed rules toward oral sex?
by Socrateswannabe inthese people won't state anything definitively, but here's an excerpt from the study article entitled "making christian marriage a success", in the august, 2016 watchtower.
it does make me wonder.. although the bible does not provide specific rules about the kinds and limits of love play that might be associated with natural, sexual intimacy, it mentions displays of affection.
(song of solomon 1:2; 2:6) christian marriage partners should treat each other with tenderness.

once we had a talk where if you didn't know before, you sure did after. young elder, wife hot enough to get even us happily married guys thinking.
And I can't help but think he and she had done personal research on what was forbidden.

I try to not spell extra well, use good puncuation, correct errors. I make enough mistakes anyway. sometimes I wonder about the breathless no spaces no paragraphs posts. they are hard to read and understand
it would be nice to be able to actually talk about dashed hopes, questions, failing to really be the religion we invested our lives in, but we can't because of many reasons

I'm glad you liked it. I didn't. Another song by the muppets or such. It was better than a lot of what they put out. Give me some good old rock and roll, a real hymn (I don't have to agree with the sentiment), or some good old american/irish/blues/folk songs.
