it was when the governing body started to disfellow-ship jehovah`s witnesses from taking blood transfusions in an effort to save their lives .. resulting in many hundreds if not thousands of needless deaths of men women and children who by this coercion died from this doctrine.. and to this day they still go unpunished .

What's the point in jw discussion if we are all free agents and can freely choose to make our own decisions.
It's all about information - it's free and available, because people share their stories on sites like this.
There are no excuses now for not knowing. Maybe 50+ years ago, but not anymore ... and even then, people chose to believe something to the point of risking their children's lives without really researching or listening to any dissenting opinion?
there is a trial currently starting - even funnier than the baldwin nonsense.. yes, everyone's favorite actor, singer and hate crime victim is going on trial.. i am, of course, talking about jussie smollett.
he's going on trial for lying to chicago police and wasting their time.. he's obviously as guilty as hell, but i just can't wait for this to unfold.. it's gonna be hilarious ....
People who call racism where there is none are racists. Jussie Smollett is a racist.
Anyone who heard the story and didn't see though it and then supported him when it was clearly bogus is both an idiot and a racist. Obama is a racist idiot.
Yeah, I'm not holding my breath for jail time even though it is more than justified. Everyone who carries out a hoax hate crime is guilty of a hate crime and should be punished accordingly.
i saw a statistic the other day that something like 25% of all the debt that the us has incurred since 1776 was created in the last 12 months.
that's because they have printed so much currency and instead of letting that stop them, they are going to continue printing more to go on a spending spree on crazy green-new-deal schemes and union handouts.. does anyone think that this can be anything other than inflationary?
they are effectively stealing the wealth of everyone to then hand money out to people.
So the official inflation rate is now the highest it's been for 40 years - 6.8%
If the original methodology for measuring it had been kept, which would allow proper comparison, the rate would easily be +15%, possibly 20% or more.
Scary times, and it will have big implications. Biden's money printers are stealing the money from your bank account and will then tax you for the fictitious "gains" you've made in investments, which are really due to currency devaluation. Double theft.
We're undergoing a massive wealth transfer from the poor and middle classes to the ultra-wealthy.
No, it's the reverse - everyone has free moral agency to shun or not.
i was in the cult for years about 40. fourth gen born in cult member or for me ex cult member.
i have seen so many cult members who don't seem to really care if the end is near or not.
they are much more concerned with the idea that this is their social network and they need and or want it just the way it is.
So many come out with things like "even if it isn't true, it's still the best way of life" that it just screams "I don't really believe, but I'm justifying it to myself".
It isn't even true - there are orders of magnitude more moral and good people who are not JWs than who are.
The longer people put off leaving, the harder it is to do so. Too many sacrifice their children's future to avoid admitting their own or their parents poor choices.
1) jesus set the absolute standard on how to deal with the disagreeable or even with those becoming inimical in matthew/5/43-48.
there he said: ‘don’t behave like pagans who love/greet only those loving/greeting them.
but be like our heavenly father who loves everyone without differentiating whether one is friendly or inimical towards him.’ this is his eternal standard.
Imagining that most of the bible isn't inspired but a tiny sliver is has to be the most bat-shit crazy view of the bible I've ever come across.
How can anyone believe such utter gibberish.
BTW: you're still vomiting bible references like you believe it's convincing. I mean, it's convincing me that you shouldn't be allowed to post ...
so the liberals and their useful idiots, want to ban guns but then do the dumbest crap like letting rioters go and just glad handing criminals.
now crime is being helped along by the left and people are afraid the police can not protect them and the public's desire for gun control is at an all time low.
they the liberals are dumb as dog shit.
however there is always some idiot who doesn`t care if they are a threat to the health and well being of their fellow man ,and don`t care if they spread the virus.
What you are describing is every vaccinated, vaccine-passport-carrying person. Because if you haven't been paying attention, those are the biggest spreaders.
So your argument is nonsense. It's not about health, it's about control and authoritarianism.
The situation simply allows people's inherent behavior to manifest itself clearly.

He should be locked up.
Imagine if there had been a couple of Trump supporters who happened to be in the area? Heck, just a couple of conservative white guys.
Do you imagine he would have said "oh no, it wasn't them, I actually faked it", or would that grinning racist piece of shit have happily seen innocent people's lives ruined?
Jail him. Fake accusations should face jail time of whatever someone accused of the crime should get.

Psst. The Bible is not from god either, but is also from uninspired writers.

Nearly all of America's gun problems are caused by democrat policies and happen in the cities they control and run. Their policies are nearly always to let of violent and dangerous criminals and to encourage it. They claim prison reform is needed - it is, to stop so many dangerous felons being allowed to walk the streets to re-offend without consequences.
When you see what is happening now in Australia with detention camps is every reason there is never to give up your arms.
I'd rather live next door to a conservative American that owns firearms than most other groups. Conservatives are way more law-abiding, which is why the rioters aren't being shot as often as they should be.
Also, stop pretending that the UK is a bed of roses, there is rampant knife crime in some areas.
