  Do You Think “Protestors “Should Be Able To Shut Down Bridges Highways and Hospital Emergency Areas?

  by minimus in

  some believe protesters have the “right” to block main roads, traffic and other places simply because they have a right to protest something.. in la, two deputies were ambushed and shot in the head and as the ambulance tried to take the fallen deputies to the emergency room, protesters blocked the way chanting they wished the police would die!

  .

  in nyc blm protesters blocked the george washington bridge and other major highways and streets to protest for their cause.. do you think this is acceptable?

  Using arms against an oppressive government does not include targeting random civilians or looting

  I should be able to travel, run over anyone threatening me, or even shoot them if my life is in danger

  We are outsiders. Not in any more but having a paucity of secular experiences in our formative years think xmas, birthdays, military, Halloween. Even if we fudged (my mother sent me to b days. We did haloween) there was a background guilty feeling.

  Potential Truthiness

  by Terry in

  potential truthiness?.

  the comedian stephen colbert wrote a book, "truthiness".truthiness is the belief or assertion that a particular statement is true based on the intuition or perceptions of some individual or individuals, without regard to evidence, logic, intellectual examination, or facts.. to me, this perfectly defines the term: potential.as in "potentially true" or "potentially lying.".

  such labels poison relationships destroying reputations.potential labels are subtle and also just under the radar of committing libel or defamation legally.. that key word is "potential" positing a shadowy inference, suspicion, propaganda point.do you feel me?do you understand the point i'm making?.

  Interesting. fake news may be new, but yellow journalism is old. FB ( to me) is leftist. The bigger problem is low information consumers. There are few black and white issues, mostly we have to pick our favorites but then should think through the outcome. Example: welfare should be a safety net for all us, but has become a way of life, then the opposers call all welfare recipients lazy. Once upon a time the charity was the domain of churches. Now we have so much mobility there is no community

  A smaller country with a more homogenous population. How about opening the borders and not check who comes in? Or let small fractions ignore rules and make their own? As for mail in voting; do you want non swiss people voting? Asking for an id or not sending ballots to dead people is not unreasonable.

  The US is supposed to be a republic with representatives for the people. That has broken down to being given a choice of which representative for a party you dislike more.

  Another suspect JW experience

  by neat blue dog in

  the latest jwdotorg experience tells of using video conferencing to hold congregation meetings inside jail for prisoners.

  it says that the prison director himself and his wife have also started attending the zoom meetings and quotes him as saying.

  “these meetings are of great importance for the spiritual and emotional well-being of the prisoners during this period of social isolation.

  The fact is a lot of prisoners find religion. Anything that occupies time contributes to peace

  Would You Be Comfortable Wearing Political Attire or Putting Political Bumper Stickers?

  by minimus in

  some people get triggered if they see something they don’t like.

  you can’t even talk about your preferences with some people because they get very upset.

  would you freely talk about politics or show who you support?

  I do. I have my nra hat, sticker, thermos. I am thinking of getting a Confederate battle flag and a gadsen flag, not because i believe it all, but just to assert rights. And a white sheet.

  Trump said it would be great if there was something as simple as disinfectant. How about an injected vaccine?

  Trump may well being trying to not create panic but the dems have all us under our beds waiting to die

  brother gave a zoom talk this morning about the conquest of “the promised land” and how in many cases, ‘everything that breathed” was destroyed.

  how loving!

  They claim relays. My take is the numbers reported are greatly exaggerated if the event even happened

  Hillary is telling all Americans to NOT CONCEDE IF TRUMP WINS----FIGHT! What will you do if you are put in a corner.

  by pistolpete in

  1. social
  2. current

  hillary clinton is telling all democratic supporters to be ready to fight if trump wins.

  other democratic leaders are telling the masses to destroy everything in their cities and cripple the economy if trump is elected president.

  other democratic leaders are appealing to the military who support the democratic agenda to step in and stop any arm citizens on the side of trump if he is elected, and remove the president by force if he wins the election.. hillary clinton is making it clear to the democratic supporters, that joe biden will become president -after president trump becomes elected.. looks like a dictator coup d'état,to overthrow the usa government by non-democratic means is now in the making.

  If trump wins you can bet there will be extreme rioting. And the conservatives(not KKK, arian) will take notice.

  Hilliary mentioned pressuring people at the polls and hinted at putting in biased judges

  How Often is 1914 Openly Spoken of at the Meetings?

  by Number 6 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as someone who left in 1991 aged 21, one of my overriding memories of growing up in the watchtower was being able to "prove" the end times by referencing 1914.. major change in 95 then again after that.

  if i'm being honest i could not even tell you now what the current teaching is.. for those who still attend the meetings, is it still openly spoken about?

  i genuinely curious as i wonder if the teaching will be altogher dropped eventually, and one of the easiest ways to achieve that is to stop speaking about it.

  Never. The closest now is 1919 when whatever happened.

  Supposedly satan came down and started ww1. Except ww1 started well before the magic October 4, 5
