The best solution was on the HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy, where they built three spaceships. They put the useless people on the 3rd, and "let them go first" ...

35Over population
by mickbobcat inso i see some very counter intuitive videos on how there is no over population issue.
that the world will grow to about 11 billion and stop.
well that would be the first time in human history that population just stopped.

Derek Chauvin - The Right to a Fair Trial
by Simon inanyone following the derek chauvin trial?.
if you are actually following it, not just listening to the media, you will likely realize that there is a huge gap between what is going on in court and what is being reported in the media.. if the trial was fair, i think he should be acquitted.
there is plenty of reasonable doubt about the cause of death (his dealer doesn't want to testify because he could be guilty of 3rd degree murder for selling him a fatal amount of fentanyl) and even doubt over whether the officer even had his knee on the guys neck or did anything counter to what they were meant to do as per policy.. but is it fair?

So "guilty" then, jurors chose the lives of themselves and their families ahead of the guy they never met, and I can't blame them!
The judge already directed people to the future appeal, where the real verdict will be decided ... maybe?
And at least there won't be any rioting, violence and looting ... right?

This Discussion Board
by minimus inwhen you look back the last 20 years , what a transformation!
back then witnesses were putting out poetry and most were singing the praises of the organization.
slowly and gradually, negative thoughts were allowed to be expressed about doctrines, elders and congregation life.

What kept me coming back??? The humour! You lot were so damn funny!
I’d never met such funny JWs before and I knew there was something different about the people on here....I felt enormous kinship such as I’d never really felt before.
I think there is a lot of value in people just acting normally and being friendly and real. Especially after the fakery of the WTS environment.
I know some people love the deep theological discussions, but I've always felt that people rarely leave because of those just as they rarely join because of them.
It's all about personal connections and feeling a sense of belonging. So the personal stories and friendly words that help people to relate and feel like they can join in are worth so much.
We are definitely all mental though.

William Shatner is 90 years old but doesn't look like it-------Why?
by pistolpete ini can't believe william shatner is 90 years old but doesn't look like other 90 year olds that i've met.
is it genetic?
is it lifestyle.

Yeah, whatever it is he's doing well on it. Looks and acts positively spritely.
Seems like a top bloke - saw him on a travel program where there was a bunch of old actors travelling round Europe and one young guy trying to "herd" them, it was very entertaining.

Do You Think White People Are Being Discriminated Against?
by minimus insome call it reverse discrimination.
whatever you want to refer to as, in your opinion, are white people being unfairly picked on?
it seems acceptable that if you are white you are viewed with disdain.
-

Simon
But away from the nonsense, day-to-day racism against white people doesn't seem to have increased.
That's not true. Anytime there is "positive" discrimination, then by definition there is someone being negatively discriminated against. If it's based on skin color then it's racist and it's unfair to the person who is the victim of it and would have otherwise won on merit and achievement.
It doesn't matter if it's employment quotas, or different admission-marks for university or some other accreditation, if it's a different system based on race then it's racism.
That makes anyone supporting it or not working to remove it a racist.

What Do You Think of Dr. Fauci?
by minimus inlast year millions of people were singing his praises.
what’s your opinion of him right now?.

in a field they have no competence in
You don't need to be an expert in a field to spot when someone is bull-shitting you.
Blind faith in "experts" is both dangerous and stupid.
If they are right, and have the data to back it up, but can't convince people ... then they are no expert.
If they rely on having people silenced rather than addressing criticisms ... then they are no expert.
True expertise stands up to scrutiny and critiques. Always question anything you are not allowed to question.

JW's coming on to this site to preach.
by Overrated inwebmaster for removing jw's that come on here to preach their crap.
i don't want to hear their fake stuff.

Thank You! Webmaster for removing JW's that come on here to preach their crap. I don't want to hear their fake stuff. I come here to recover from their damage and to help others.
Thanks for noticing :)
Yeah, people who are genuinely interested in discussing things, even defending the WTS beliefs, are welcome. When JWs do post they are usually given courteous and helpful responses.
What is never welcome are the zealots who just want to spam their bible porn (just nonsense, littered with bible references). They never respond to have any discussion other than to just post more of the same gibberish and of course want to post links to their "prophetic" (pathetic) blogs and sites (they obviously are living in the past and don't know about rel nofollow links that don't give any SEO boost).
Maybe they are so deluded they actually believe someone might be interested in their clap-trap? Kind of hilarious to imagine.
I just delete on site. I love knowing that they have gone to great lengths to connect to a VPN, setup email accounts, register, post numerous replies and then I just have to press one button and "pfft", it's like the rapture happened on their crap, or Thanos snapped his fingers, whichever fantasy you like to go with.

Does Fauci have a connection to the Wuhan lab that produced Covid?
Imagine if he has a link to that AND to a vaccine that he profits from?
