i think that for the most part, dissenting views should be allowed to exist because of free speech principles.
one person may strongly feel that something is true while someone else may present “facts” that support the opposing view.
when that is the case, healthy discussion is mostly productive.

Forcing a person to engage in another's belief(religion) is where to draw the line. The baker has to know enough about the ceremony to use his skill, same for the photog. Neither tried to prevent the wedding. The pharmacist i think should have filled the script, same as letting an employee use insurance as seen fit.
These big platforms are in fact public utilities.
on reddit, a pimo elder talked about the co special meeting with the co about all what’s important, tight pants!
omg we have a pandemic, some have lost their jobs, people are depressed, but let’s stop the brothers from wearing tight pants.
also, metro style haircuts.
I was told by a gen x that wearing a cap backwards will keep the sun out of your eyes🤔

Social media is not funded, BUT they use public airwaves, rights of way for cabling, and provide a necessary service. Tax breaks and shelters I know not.

They are a town square and dominate the exchange of info.. I just read a reference to burning the reichstag on another site--followed by censoring
o what is that sound which so thrills the eardown in the valley drumming, drumming?only the scarlet soldiers, dear,the soldiers coming.o what is that light i see flashing so clearover the distance brightly, brightly?only the sun on their weapons, dear,as they step lightly.o what are they doing with all that gear,what are they doing this morning, morning?only their usual manoeuvres, dear,or perhaps a warning.o why have they left the road down there,why are they suddenly wheeling, wheeling?perhaps a change in their orders, dear,why are you kneeling?o haven't they stopped for the doctor's care,haven't they reined their horses, horses?why, they are none of them wounded, dear,none of these forces.o is it the parson they want, with white hair,is it the parson, is it, is it?no, they are passing his gateway, dear,without a visit.o it must be the farmer that lives so near.it must be the farmer so cunning, so cunning?they have passed the farmyard already, dear,and now they are running.o where are you going?
stay with me here!were the vows you swore deceiving, deceiving?no, i promised to love you, dear,but i must be leaving.o it's broken the lock and splintered the door,o it's the gate where they're turning, turning;their boots are heavy on the floorand their eyes are burning.. - w.h.auden.

Very much like the oft quoted " first they came for....."
That can be applied either way; the rightists consuming foes until the center is in the sights, or (as I see right now) the radical leftists pushing their agenda until noone can object.
i think he will have to deal with the attorney general of new york amongst other things.
i do think he will not simply go away quietly ..
Parallel threads. Trump no more said take up arms than xjw's say fight the org. Being with people is a
figure of speech. TV just now said there were no antifa present while showing MAGA hats worn backwards--their own directive for recognition.
Look at history: kristallnacht, Lenin, Franco, Coxeys army, PolPot, N Korea, or for that matter NZ, Australia, S Africa.
It seems 1984 was a better prophecy than Atlas shrugged
new talk outlines you might want.. no.
24 have you found a “pearl of high value”?no.
25 resist the spirit of the world!no.
I can hardly wait for a new and improved funeral. Even pimi s are opting out now because of the blatant recruiting and lack of love and comfort.

I will make a bold prediction. Trump will resign, pence will hand over the rei( g)ns, Biden will get sick and Harris will be president.
I do not think trump can go back to private life in Florida. May do as c. Chaplin did and move to Switzerland.
Also a Weimar republic currency, high taxes, mandated conversion to fairy dust energy. And you WILL smile as balkanization is completed
so did anyone catch the january jw broadcast?.
it's the "spiritual content" of what would have been introduced in the october annual meeting, had the october annual meeting taken place.. morris, splane, and jackson introduce a new jw study publication: "live forever eternally - an interactive guide".. details were sparse, but apparently it is a 256 page book (when in actual printed form), primarily designed to be used in its electronic form, stuffed with links to videos.. it is designed to be "just one book" to be studied prior to baptism, where "all 60 questions that baptism candidates have to know" are found in just one place.. the purported reason is to make jw "bible" studies more "productive", i.e., lead to more baptisms.. splane brought out the governing body's "great concern" that 10 million+ "bible" studies are conducted by jws every year, but the number of baptisms has been stuck at 200,000 - 300,000 per year for decades.
so the thinking is, this new book + a "new method of conducting studies" (again, no real detail, but apparently it involves more "discussion" and less "question and answer").. want to know my thoughts?
Aside. Did caleb's dad always sound slightly Mexican?
Falsehood about the governing body in modern times. It was a single auto crat
Baptism question 61-- why is the holy spirit not in the vows?
i was told that if a jw now gets caught reading or with old jw literature they can get dfed.
i doubt this is true but wanted to know for sure.

Using old publications to point out errors and hypocrisy makes waves. That is what gets attention.
The assembly hall had a studies opened to the pyramid. Nobody catches on that 1914 is determined by a system every bit as reliable as astrology.
