  The more you hear the more it seems like whacky Californian politics played a huge part in this.

  Lots of DEI hires - how many fire chiefs can be lesbian women, really?

  A push to get rid of white male firefighters ... who were they replaced with?

  Fire services massively defunded.

  Hydrants and reservoirs emptied.

  Brush not cleared due to environmentalism.

  Lot os left-wing nut jobs starting fires.

  How is this anything todo with Trump? Unless you didn't hear, he's not the president ... Biden is (still). And California is the model of 100% democrat control.

  One way or another, when the dems are in charge, lots of things burn to the ground.

  Canada exploring changes to tax rules that exempt religious organizations

  by Scully in

  https://www.christianpost.com/news/evangelicals-oppose-removal-of-tax-status-in-canadian-proposal.html.

  the proposed change will revoke charitable status of canadian churches who have an anti-abortion position, and will not give tax exemptions to organizations whose sole claim is to promote religion, which is the basic claim for all jw related entities in canada.

  this will be interesting!.

  Nothing is insane to the current Liberal government of Canada, they are past insanity.

  Many charities don't really do charitable work, and religions are usually on the lower end of those. Tax them all, they are all scams.

  I can't believe Croatia still hasn't launched a task-force to round up those who committed gross insult against their glorious nation.

  Lloyd notified them about it, don't they know who he is?

  LOL

  Is it just me, or is Watchtower lowering its standards?

  in the past, we used to hear talks on:.

  avoiding sexual immorality and porn, as well as masturbation and other sexual practices.

  why evolution cannot possibly be true.

  follower of Eric Wilson, abusive to single women covered by paying sums of money to support Beroean Pickets tourism trips.

  by buzkid in

  2. scandals

  susanne eigenheer is an ex-jw and suffered religious abuse in eric wilson's group.

  her personal statement and experiences within the beroean pickets study groups was one of betrayal where she was taken advantage of financially.

  in one text conversation, wendy wiens disfellowshiped susanne and demanded an apology from her.

  I don't understand the need of ex jw's to get themselves so involved in these groups. After coming out of a high control group, the last thing anyone should do is get themselves involved in another group, literally from the frypan into the fire.

  Shows the importance of "doing the work" after leaving Watchtower to avoid simply jumping into another cult.

  A sad truth is that people who are most likely to fall for a scam and those who have fallen for scams before. If people don't learn and don't step back and evaluate their mindset to change how they think, they just end up repeating the same mistakes again. It applies in all manner of situations - investing, picking partners, and following religious leaders.

  How do you know if someone isn't suitable to be a religious leader?

  If they are one. It's that simple.

  Yeah, the ban on many things is to isolate people and take the joy out of life, and of course to make sure that any leftover income is available to be donated.

  Enjoy your lights and the freedom they represent!

  P Diddy list of names

  by liam in

  1. social
  2. current

  no wonder the left was furious when elon musk bought twitter.. someone leaked some of the names of the epstein files before they went public.

  the complete list is still pending.

  doesn't matter if it's the governing body, celebrities, politicians, theoretical physicist, cosmologist, the royal family, and more, are just ordinary humans who lust for sexual ..............!!!!!.

  The left's attempts to smear Trump as being anywhere close to as criminal as them is pitiful to watch. It's over, he won, and all their hoaxes are no longer effective. He won despite their lies and endless fake news and propaganda.

  The simple fact is that the democrats are up to their necks in corruption and they no longer bother to hide it. It went all the way up to their president, who was financially benefitting from the money laundering his son was involved in with Ukraine, which is why he's been pardoned.

  The whole family are just sleazy. The democrats are rotting from the inside and it's fantastic to watch.

  with all the information on the internet exposing the type of person Lloyd is and what he really uses their money for, they no longer have my sympathy. In fact they may very well be just like him.

  Yeah, for some people he's a hero, justifying shitty life choices and poor moral behavior. They pay a few $ to tell themselves it's "OK".

  Trump wins

  by gavindlt in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i am non political and have never voted but nonetheless i have been keenly watching to see how the trump presidential race unfolds.

  i believe that his involvement in propelling or influencing a leaning toward bible prophecy will unfold.

  how, i can’t say but something tells me that this anomaly and outlier being trump is highly signifiant!

  What is it about Kamala Harris that may worship her?

  She's a perfect representation of their fundamental ideology - a diversity hire with no discernible skills who slept her way up. It's what they want their world to be, a place where useless people get everything handed to them just but uttering the magical incantation of wailing "racism & misogyny" ... all funded by taxing the few who actually work.

  Thank god it's now going to die for good.
