Farewell Liberals - Doug Ford Wins in Ontario

by Simon in

the conservatives have won in ontario and the liberals who held power there for 15 years crashed so hard they didn't get enough seats to even retain official party status.

people are sick of them and the mess they make!.

hopefully this is the start of a wave across canada that will sweep the liberals from positions where they can do harm, ending with the king of the clowns, trudeau..

The libtards have been trying to destroy Canada just like Western Europe and America. the hug a Muslim and give people free crap while the rest of us have to work.

i recently had a discussion with a jw concerning a change in wording of a scripture - in fact this was my all time favourite scripture, namely, micah 6:8.. my view is that the wtbts have deliberately changed the wording and meaning of the said scripture.

the other person is of the opinion that that is not the case.

micah 6:8.

Joseph Rutherford = Donald Trump

by Wild_Thing in

jw
friends

i have been rereading a lot about rutherford lately; about his personality and the kind of person he was.

i have come to the conclusion that he was a lot like donald trump.. he was an accused womanizer.. he was a narcissist with a self inflated ego.

he claimed to be persecuted by the media all the time.

As far as I am concerned this is about the JW cult not Politics. Skankles Hillary was a far worse choice then Trump. But Its really not a political forum.

I remember of a woman who was raped and killed years ago in the field service. I always wondered why god protected some but not others. LOL. Its like Voltaire said, god is always on the winning side in war but he keeps changing sides.

I have a cousin who went to Bethel out of high school. He worked up to purchase agent, married a woman from the Philippine Branch office and has been with the cult since. She works taking care of the older unable to take care of themselves GB and higher ups. So I don't know what they do as far as any monies go but they are taken care of, place to live, health care, what ever they need. Its like a dictator, they don't need money because what money buys is given them.

My wife's parents are in very bad shape. They are both 2nd Gen JWs. My father in law worked for a large American manufacturing company in the 60s and early 70s. When it got closes to the 1975 date he quit his job moved north of the state he was in, into the country "where the need was great" and started his own small body /mechanic shop. They struggled to make ends meet. He never saved much money and would tell me he will never die the end bla bla bla. Well he is 80, has a brain tumor, hart condition among other issues. His wife my wife's mother has Alzheimer to the point she has to stay in a facility because he can not take care of her. He has absolutely no money to his name. Maybe a few grand. He has stopped going to assemblies not because of belief but health. I don't say a word to my wife about it as she is going through enough, but they really made their bed.

I am not trying to be obtuse or indifferent but I had talked and talked till I was blue in the face that they needed to focus on the future and saving some money for retirement. He would say there will be no need for retirement in this old world. I am sure many hear have heard this shit before. To me this is where the damage comes in. People who are not as smart as some, buy in whole sale don't think and don't plan. I saw my Grandfather who was a CO SP and elder one of the three at any one time most of his life. He hit 52 and could see things were not working out and took a job as a prison guard, [in shipping and receiving , refused to use a gun but was in contact with prisoners so was eligible for a pension in 10 years of work] and quietly positioned himself for that pension. His last few years they wanted him to qualify with a gun but he kept dodging it. The cult is so damaging its crazy. The very same Grandfather went to two semesters of collage. Played football and wanted to be a coach. But he met my Grandmother who was a JW freak and cest la vie
