  “Millions now living will never die”

  by HappyBlessedFree in

  so i’m just reading the part in ray franz book “crisis of conscience” about the 1925 prediction of “millions now living will never die”.. ofcourse all witnesses are very familiar with this campaign.

  yet none of us ever had an issue with it, including myself.

  since the booklet was published in 1920, we are one year away from 100 years from that time.

  To criticize a government is NOT tha same as “condemning” a race or ethnic group. To conflate the two is a logical fallacy, one which is committed by an alarming number of people with disturbing regularity. It is these errors in thinking which perpetuate inter-generational hatred, violence and conflict.

  Giving fake address to elder

  by Addison0998 in

  so i got married a few weeks ago, living a great life now with my husband, he was definitely the perfect guy for me :) but anyways, we are going to work on slowly fading, going to meetings once a week or every two weeks, and then in a few months move to a hall where nobody knows our families and the elders hardly know each other, and fade out a lot more.

  but an elder asked for our address, which we didn’t feel comfortable giving him, because we don’t want any unexpected visits to “shepard” us, when we miss a few meetings, because they already text us when we miss 2 meetings in a row, which we had just gotten back from our honeymoon 🙄 so we “accidentally” gave him the wrong apartment number.

  so if they ever come pokin around they will be lost, and if they call or text us we will just have an excuse for not replying.

  Giordano: I think we tend to get somewhat too clever in trying to outwit the Elder's or CO.

  Exactly. What’s wrong with just saying, “I’m sorry, but I don’t give out personal information to people I just met/don’t know”?

  I get what you’re doing and why, but think it through to the end. Then just rip the band-aid off and be done with it.

  You don’t have to lie and “accidentally” give a fake address. Just stop going. And when people ask for personal information you don’t want to divulge, simply tell them, “That’s personal, and you don’t need to know that,” or, “Is rather not.”

  Reclaim your personal boundaries and live your life.

  Lets review: It’s a cult!

  As reported today by Stephen Collinson of CNN, Cohen’s testimony “was either the betrayal of a proven liar who is making up tales to save himself or the courageous act of an unlikely hero rising above his dirty past to provide a national service, depending on which side of the committee room lawmakers sat on.”

  In other words, how you interpret Cohen’s testimony says more about you and your biases than what he actually said.

  Own it. Deal with it.

  Black and white, this or that, all or nothing thinking is an indication of an uneducated and/or unintelligent mind that can only embrace a simplistic worldview. Human beings are complicated, and the most interesting among us are always examples of just that.

  Diversity is White Genocide

  asia for the asians, africa for the africans, white countries for everybody!.

  everybody says there is this race problem.

  everybody says this race problem will be solved when the third world pours into every white country and only into white countries.. the netherlands and belgium are just as crowded as japan or taiwan, but nobody says japan or taiwan will solve this race problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.. everybody says the final solution to this race problem is for every white country and only white countries to “assimilate,” i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.. what if i said there was this race problem and this race problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into every black country and only into black countries?.

  What a balanced statement looks like:

  Cofty: I too want to preserve a UK where the majority is white-British. Not because I dislike people of other races but because I think British culture is worth something despite all our obvious flaws.

  It's the same bullshit that the WTBTS has been spouting for over a century.

  They say it's coming "soon!"
