  Why did Lloyd Evans say in one of his latest video

  by mickbobcat in

  1. social

  so i was watching an evans video he just put out where he was interviewing a man about how the cult treated his daughter who was rapped as a criminal.

  the man said his wife's first experience with an apostate site was here.

  i could tell by the look on his face he did not like that site and then could not help himself and said that he could not recommend going to this site.

  Oh, I think I remembered the quote, it was something like:

  "Never expect any person or group to solve a problem when their revenue relies on the existence of that problem"

  I may have paraphrased it slightly wrong, but there is so much truth to this.

  The aim of most 'activists' should be to make themselves redundant. Call me when you find some activist who even appears to be trying to do this.

  Jeez, the word "activist" just conjures up a picture in my mind of some self-proclaimed, self-important wannabe saviour type who's either using their "activism" as an excuse to be an asshole or to make a quick-buck ... possibly both.

  When he says something, people can comment and say opposite things and he doesn't have the ability to edit it out.

  That doesn't mean he hasn't tried! I've had "I'll ruin your reputation if you don't remove XYZ comment about my video" emails from him before now.

  It's why I generally don't allow his windbag videos on the site. I have better things todo with my time than spend it dealing with some narcissistic grifter.

  He seems to rely on money generated from his videos. If so, he is manipulating the ex-JW community for his own profit.

  The problem with "professional activists" who rely on their activism for their income is that there is a tendency for it to become a motivation to perpetuate the thing itself and to invent things to use to continue the money-making activism, even if there is nothing really that warrants any 'activisming' (yeah, that's a word - totally checks out).

  I saw a quote along these lines the other day, about how groups formed to object to a 'thing' end up becoming dependent on and part of the ecosystem of the 'thing', but can't remember the exact context. Wish I'd saved a reference as I thought at the time it was quite profound and likely useful.

  He's a dick. He can't take criticism and demands "worship". Anyone who questions him is deemed an enemy. I think part of it is that he makes money from his activity, but he was key to a major screw up which exposed many people's identities and refused to close that particular barn door or admit it was poorly conceived.

  Liberal vs. Conservative mental health study - what do you make of it?

  by Brock Talon in

  1. social
  2. current

  a pew study from 2020 (but one i just now came upon myself) reported that the more liberal you are, the more likely you are to have a mental health condition.

  the worst suffering group are white females, ages 18-29 where over 56% have admitted to be described by their own doctors as having a mental health condition.

  conservative females of the same age group suffer at less than half that number (27%).. while women tend to have more mental health problems than men (don't be mad at me for saying it, this is what the study reports) it is notable that liberal men have a higher percentage of mental health conditions than conservative women in the same age group.

  The left used to be just nuts. That was OK. But now they are forcing the rest of society to go along with their insanity and make it the new normal.

  Sorry, no, never going to happen and I'm never going to comply.

  We have a friend called Karen, which is funny, because she is the most laid back, least "Karen" person I know.

  Her mother sends her news articles about "Karen's", LOL

  Bill Gates appeared to have a carefully curated public persona, as a geeky uncle.

  Turns out he hung around with dodgy people and was inappropriate with women, from all accounts.

  At least now people will maybe stop listening to him for medical advice.

  Canadian Residential School Deaths

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  in case you haven't heard, they just discovered the remains of some 215 dead children at a so called canadian residential school.

  they couldn't call it a death-camp could they ... it would be too obvious.. these were where indigenous children were taken, forcibly, in order to "educate" them out of their native customs and languages and make them integrate with society.. unbelievably, this was still going on in the 60s to 90s.. of course the catholic church has their sticky fingers all over it.

  what is it about those creepy bastards?

  the British solution was extermination

  "Between 1754 and 1829, British policies toward native North Americans sought three key objectives: recruitment and supply of native military allies; regulation of trade and diplomacy; and protection of native peoples' territorial integrity through negotiated settlement boundary lines."
  

  https://www.encyclopedia.com/history/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/american-indians-british-policies

  Most American tribes sided with the British during the war of independence, perhaps why they fared so badly after.

  The British policy of negotiating treaties and limiting the expansion of the colonies was partly what caused the war.

  I know most American's have been "educated" (indoctrinated) to believe it was about having to pay taxes, but even that is inaccurate - the British removed the tax from their tea to be more competitive, in a bid to bail out the East India company.

  Modern day leftist liberalism is a mental disorder.

  It's on full display.
