  Trump broke the law - he should be impeached. Period. He should be held to the campaign laws of our nation regardless if he conspired or didn't conspire with Russia.

  ^^^ THIS ^^^

  No one is above the law. No one.

  I predict that most Trump supporters will find ways to rationalize away his illegal behavior rather than admit they were wrong.

  It's what humans do. It's a serious personality flaw. It's the kind of mental defect that keeps people in cults.

  LoisLane: All those older people in the video above are DEAD!

  Exactly!

  I noticed this particular bit of WT theology was notably absent from that opening "historical" montage:

  
  

  Or this one:

  
  

  Gee, I wonder why that might be?

  Sanitized, historical negationism (revisionism) is morally, ethically and intellectually dishonest.

  If anyone needs to lie or distort the facts of their beliefs, then their beliefs are not worthy of defense.

  Let's review: It's a cult!

  How many JDubs would believe this ridiculous statement?

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a circuit overseer or a member of the gibbering body is giving a talk about demonism and he says the following, "there was an elder in a congregation in california who let his 8-year-old daughter watch disney movies that involved witches, gremlins, magic, and sorcery.

  many may feel that they are harmless movies and are just entertainment.

  well, the 8-year-old daughter actually brought a blue smurf doll to the public talk and watchtower study.

  The smurf left because it was smarter than all of the fucking mindless, indoctrinated drones in the audience that would believe such a stupid story.

  Has Politics Hurt Your Friendships?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you want to believe that jehovah’s witnesses have the truth, that’s your right.

  if you want to believe in global warming being the most horrific thing we have to face,that’s your right.

  have you been adversely affected by political stands and beliefs?

  No.

  I no longer have friends that choose beliefs over people. Such a mentality is stiflingly narrow-minded, judgmental, self-righteous and arrogant. I simply can't stand to be around people with such a worldview.
  

  That all ended when I left the JW cult. I have since studiously avoided joining any other cults: religious, political or otherwise.

  i dont know why i'd want to argue over something like this.

  i've been aware of this theory for years.

  as interesting as it is - it's still bullshit.. for future reference, i believe the bible to be a collection of fantasy, myth, real locations and crazy ramblings of psychedelic bloke stuck on patmos.. my reply:.

  Religions are full of ideas from primitive peoples trying to explain things that are hard to understand.

  Some of us have left behind myths and superstition; others apparently like living in the dark ages.

  Personally, I prefer the discovered truths that come from a scientific, rational approach to attempting to understand life, the universe and everything (however tentative that knowledge may sometimes be) to the "revealed truths" of religion with their insistence on absolute inerrancy and unquestioning belief.

  I didn’t get them. Don’t bother, it’s pointless.

  Even if they came, I wouldn’t want them — not from you. You don’t know me. You don’t care.

  Cut the fucking bullshit!

  Quit pretending to be caring or compassionate. It’s all an act. No one believes you, at least not anyone with half a brain.

  Normally, I wouldn’t even to bother to respond to your hypocritical post. But — since you did it publicly — I feel compelled to call you out for the pathetic excuse for a human being that you are.

  Your “virtue signaling” public declarations are disgusting to me. If you really cared — which you obviously don’t — you would have reached out privately, sensitively and with discretion. But you didn’t.

  Instead you opted to make this very public post which I can only construe as designed to make you look good to others. It isn’t working.

  I don’t know or care what others think. You disgust me.

  Take your useless “thoughts and prayers” and shove them up your fucking ass.

  I don’t give a shit, and now neither will you — those useless “thoughts and prayers” will clog up your ass and make that shit back up until it comes out of every other orifice of your body ... oh, maybe that’s already happened. Maybe that’s why you’re posting this miserable shit about fucking useless “thoughts and prayers.”

  Your postings are evidence of a constipated brain, which is just a fancy way of saying: you’re completely full of shit!

  Little Gems From the November 2018 Study Watchtower

  quickly glanced through it and noticed these bits of "food at the proper time.

  i'll leave the lap-dancing comment on page 25, par.

  12 and the "how to give us more money" item on pages 28,29,30,31,32 for others to pick up on... page 16, par.

  Lap dancing is defined as “an activity in which a usually seminude performer sits and gyrates on the lap of a customer.”

  Whew! Thanks for the definition WT!

  So, I understand:

  • activity
  • sits
  • lap
  • performer and
  • customer

  But I’m a little fuzzy on the meaning of: “gyrates.”

  Brother WT conducter, could you please explain “gyrates” to me? Maybe if you gave a little demonstration we’d all understand it a bit better.

  And while you’re at it, perhaps you could tell us how you came to have this special “knowledge.”
