  Experiences with kiss up kick down Jehovahs witnesses

  i’ll go first.. in a previous congregation we had a pioneer couple that have since gone on to be gilead graduates and are now either in circuit work or translation.

  they checked all the boxes off the societies list so they were exemplary.

  A JW cannot be excommunicated for the sole act of taking another believer to court

  And they wouldn't be, it would be for bringing reproach upon Jehovah or the congregation. Whatever BS they want to invent, they don't need any legitimate reason!

  Roe vs Wade Overturned by US Supreme Court!

  i know there was a leak a few weeks back, but this really does seem to have come out of the blue.. the anomaly was the original decision.

  it clearly had no basis in law or the constitution, and was a flimsy, ridiculous ruling.

  plus the whole thing was based on a fraudulent case in the first place.. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61928898.

  Seems like the Dems were intent on killing off more of "their base".

  They keep them inline in other ways.

  It's really about planned parenthood being a money laundering operation of the democratic party.

  They gave something like $45m to them in the 2020 election, and then the dems ensure they are given taxpayers money in return.

  Round and round the money goes, where it stops, nobody knows ... oh wait, we do. Biden.

  Why do people who believe murder is wrong want to impose that on other people? If you don’t believe in murder, don’t get murdered.

  I think the point is to protect vulnerable life that cannot protect itself.

  "I'm keeping others safe"

  Reality: it's a travel requirement if I'm to be allowed to go on my whoreing trip.

  So while many were feeling sorry for him & concerned about 'his mental state' he's on holiday......again

  He'll probably have to take breaks from his exhausting vacation schedule soon. Travel presenters will be complaining that they are spending too many days at home by comparison.

  All the idiots saying “all the cute babies saved” should realise the hideousness of the now inevitable back street abortions.

  Are you saying that passing laws makes no difference to peoples behavior? Only there are people demanding guns be made illegal, someone should let them know. Also, unlike abortion, I think there may be something about guns in the constitution.

  Do you believe contraception is more or less accessible now than 50 years ago? Also, that there are more options available?

  the left will burn down their own towns and cities in protest.

  The real special ones will then look around and marvel at the institutional racism keeping them poor.

  They'll all complain about how unfair it is that people don't invest in their communities.

  Obviously the court system isn’t looking at the full picture here.

  You don't get it. That's not what their job is. They solely ruled on whether it was a constitutional right that the federal government should protect. It clearly wasn't.

  To make it easier to understand: please point to the part of the constitution that you believe guarantees the right to abortion. It isn't there. The thing that was used in the original ruling was laughable from a legal perspective as you could apply the same logic to stealing cars and murdering people. They have now corrected that faulty ruling.

  And the number of cases that are about rape are small, a tiny fraction. Same for incest and medical issues. I don't think I've seen many voices say no abortion for any reason at all. That's a straw-man.

  And straight away I see the "white men! white men!" brigade on Twitter.

  The original Roe vs Wade was decided by white men. This was decided by a more diverse group including black men and women.

  When Civil Rights legislation was passed in 1964, guess which party welcomed the aggrieved (former) Southern Democrats into their house?

  You're really struggling to turn it into "republicans bad" aren't you? They were way too forgiving - they should have annihilated and destroyed the dems from existence. But the fault for everything the racist KKK dem party did was still all on there.

  Actually Simon, they are public. Go see for yourself.

  I'm just not seeing what you are seeing. I don't see anything resolved there, any agreement reached or someone being reasonable or sorry for their attacks. If anything they seem determined that they are right and didn't do anything wrong, still mis-representing what I said and attempting to cause trouble.

  Like I said, actions speak loader than words and words online are cheap as chips.
