  Not the more usual where are you from, how long stay?

  The unsaid question is why not in service, and his guilt for being caught "not on service"

  Cause of Mass Shootings Mental Health?

  by blondie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been sad to see so many groups and individuals say that the cause of these events are the mental status of the shooters.

  i have looked over the backgrounds of these shooters, and few had medically identified mental health issues.

  it is too easy to think that people shoot or kill other people because they are mentally ill.. actually, many or most people with real mental illnesses are most likely to be the victims of others.. i have been a volunteer with the organization called nami (national alliance of mental lillness) for 25 years now.

  Death has been sanitized. we seldom see anyone die, are removed from the farm. Add in the sadistic feelings we all have if we will admit it. ( how often do posters wish a less than peaceful death for GB?). Couple that to frustration with either a " group" or society and a very few will snap.

  I shoot, support 2A, and realize there are some guns no one needs; but who decides and when will they decide the reasonable laws are already passed? Given money to waste I enjoy shooting fast, but don't have the funds, so there is the "reason" for ho caps, autos and all. You can apply the same logic to cars, who needs to speed or accelerate to the capabilities of half the cars sold?

  Money! How much did you "Contribute" To The WTB@TS When You Were A Member

  by The Bethelite in

  2. friends

  i was in full time service for six years including bethel.

  once i got out of bethel, i figured i had already given them six of the best years of my life (ages 18-24) working as a slave/drone in their factory, so i rationalized that i had given them enough... so over the next 27 years i would say maybe $200 bucks is it.

  i think their whole "voluntary contributions" idea is biting them in the ass, because over all jehovah's witnesses are a cheap group people with a few exceptions.

  Those green handshakes....I never had much, but when I received a " look of horror" from a CO when I mentioned overtime they quit. OT always was because something had to be done, never be cause of the boss being generous. I always needed the money and not for vacation or a boat

  The Environmental Cult

  by cofty in

  1. social
  2. current

  i believe the environmental movement has many of the hallmarks of an apocalyptic millenarian cult.. urgent predictions of doom and fear-mongering.

  utopian ideology.

  us v them, good v evil mindset.

  I am skeptical on the human portion. What caused the large changes in times past? Some of the solutions will harm society; and if you want to see environmental damage, just look at any large scale social upheaval.

  Things like carbon credits just transfer money to those who can afford it.

  Cant give away my location, but pollution follows wind across state lines, so maybe all states east of California should sue them for having large population and forest fires. Ozone going up because of smoke from california will not be solved by restricting autos in Santa fe

  50 month to local, never to big bro. The assembly has the machines which are not up all the time so it is easy to forget.

  Related, how many times did you get roped into Feeding the speaker? I used to deduct whatever I was coerced into from the box money. At times I could bare fed myself

  jackie kennedy was considered the most beautiful for years.

  melania trump is obviously an ex model.

  michelle obama has been touted as a true beauty.

  Looking quickly Tyler was pretty. The list I found showed everything from childhood pictures to whrn in the office so it is hard to judge. The earliest are paintings so there may be some artistry hiding things. Jackie was world known for beauty. If we could find pics of all them at age 30 it may help.

  As for men JFK was good looking, it is harder to say as I don't look at men the same way a woman would. Maybe grant with his beard?

  Who else provides all this spiritual food?

  by StephaneLaliberte in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  two days ago, i experienced a spiritual epiphany while visiting the library of a catholic university: i was shocked to find thousands of religious literatures produced by the catholics and protestants in the last few hundred years.

  someone could easily spend a secluded lifetime trying to read them all.

  for years, i was told by my religious leaders (jws) that the catholics and other religions did not provide spiritual food to their members.

  They pick up popular ideas and run with them. Remember the " way" talks and articles? Then the charismatic religions came with the same, even naming a bible translation that. At the time I thought there was copying going on, but misunderstood who did the copying. They used to quote things like Vines, now they just say " a bible scholar", probably meaning freddy, or else a half quote from something
