It's sadly ironic that extremist and fanatics never seem to realize they all end up behaving pretty much the same in spite of their supposed ideological differences.

51Counter-protests to Free Speech Rally in Boston
by Anony Mous ini never thought i would see that in the us, a "free speech rally" (which has distanced itself from and organizers have nothing at all to do with the right, republicans or extremism) is being counter protested by thousands in boston today, the counter protests being organized by a coalition of black supremacists and sjw's.. on the other hand, google is building a database of speech that doesn't align with the left-wing political values.. i'm not sure what youngsters are thinking these days, but free speech used to be the cornerstone of american civilizations only a few decades ago.
the only way to drown out "bad" free speech is more free speech..

Why the vitriolic hate?
by stuckinarut2 ini am sure we have all thought of this before, but it struck me again today:.
why does the society promote such vitriolic hate toward, and about those who have left "the truth" ?.
surely it is obvious that such critical attitudes towards ones like us who have left, only serves to proove that they do not have "the truth"?.

DY: In the grand scheme of things we are nothing to God
You have that backwards. It should read: In the grand scheme of things god is nothing to us.
We are real. God is a delusion of the human mind.

Justmeok2,
If by "truth" you mean an absolute commitment to trying to objectively understand things as they really are using a scientific approach, then good for you.
If, on the other hand, you are confusing the expression "the truth" with the religious organization known as Jehovah's Witness due to the way the WTBTS conflates the two terms, then that's not good. Not good at all.
By the way, you should know that most cults, particularly religious ones, claim to be the sole possessor of "truth" to the exclusion of all others. With just a little thought you should be able to figure out how illogical that is.
Truth is not a physical thing that any one or any group can possess exclusively, if at all. Also, if you or anyone else learns something that is true--even if you learn it from another person, a particular book, teacher or group--you will know that forever. There is no need to "return" anywhere or to anyone.
Belief in invisible beings is a delusion, and it is one which is generally unhealthy.

New Cringe Worthy Music Video From July Broadcast
by JW_Rogue inthe song is supposedly about marveling at god's creation but instead includes over the top adoration of the elders, conventions, and family worship.
lol getting a brother who sounds like a wannabe josh groban only adds to the cheesiness.

The male vocalist sounds like Phillip Ingram.
He's a pretty well-known session singer and has done singing for the WTBTS before.
