  Do You Think People Have Forgotten About 9/11?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after all these years, it seems to me that people do not properly take note of what happened on this date in 2001. for some, it’s like nothing major happened.

  for me it is a day of reflection..

  If you get feeling people aren't remembering today then you don't live in New York CIty, Right now on TV here, every year they do the reading of the names and at night they have the beams of light.

  I think that this is getting to the point of being too much every year the people working themselves up to tears while reading the names, you never forget the people you love no matter how they died. I wonder if all these folks that are reading the names of those lost also go to the cemetary and visit grandma and grandpa, Aunt Mary and Uncle Bill, etc, probably not.

  Trump Derangement Syndrome Is Alive and Well

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  i was on facebook and a person i have known for a long time posted how trump is mentally ill and is truly a psychopath.

  a couple of her friends chimed in when i suggested that perhaps the fb friend was really the psychopath.

  a couple of her friends began to defend her but i was surprised by how many people defended the president!

  "Following and/or supporting this guy is equivalent to supporting the gb of jw's. All that is necessary is to ignore the facts and just blindly follow!"

  Yes eyeuse2badub! I feel the same way, like just a couple of hours ago, yet another one of his "I only pick the best" is now gone, yet they blindly follow, interesting, yet sad. Who's left from his original pickings of the best, besides his daughter?

  Preach the word but don't be accountable when asked questions. The thing that caught my eye is when he tried to knock the camera out of her hand or actually hit her. I wish she would've landed a straight right into his chest for self defense. What scripture is it that the states you may get violent in field service if asked a question you don't want to answer?

  Oh I definitely recognize him as our PResident, but I also recognize him as being a fucking moron, just as some people feel the same about some former Presidents.

  Jw's mentioned in shows

  have you ever been watching a show and suddenly, there's a reference to jehovah's witnesses?

  i was watching an english mystery show from a while back and the main character hetty, was giving a list of religions that could have drawn off a young girl.

  one of the "fringe" groups was tada - jehovah's witnesses.. there is plenty of other more well known clips like snl coneheads being approached by fake jw's.

  When that happened and my mother was in the room but not really paying attention and she heard the JWs mentioned she'd go crazy saying "what, what did they say" !! and I'd say that just proves you're in a cult, do Catholics and Baptists go crazy every time they hear their religion mentioned on TV?

  MCDonalds sells breakfast all day now, unless they changed their mind on that, but the only thing I'll eat from them is an Egg McMuffin. Haven't been there in years to get one since I can do the same at home.

  Cause of Mass Shootings Mental Health?

  by blondie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been sad to see so many groups and individuals say that the cause of these events are the mental status of the shooters.

  i have looked over the backgrounds of these shooters, and few had medically identified mental health issues.

  it is too easy to think that people shoot or kill other people because they are mentally ill.. actually, many or most people with real mental illnesses are most likely to be the victims of others.. i have been a volunteer with the organization called nami (national alliance of mental lillness) for 25 years now.

  Generally, speaking, any weapon can be characterized as an "assault" weapon if you injure someone.

  But these guns that they're using now, like the one the guy had in Las Vegas to just lean out his window and take down dozens of people per minute, why does anyone need to own a weapon like that? Even the people who enjoy to go hunting, if they used a weapon like that, whatever animal they're hunting for would have like 60 bullet holes are something, that type of weapon is "overkill" for hunters. I think only if you're on the front line in Kabul or something should weapons like that be used.

  Speaking of our current, remember a few times it has been said that she has a double? The pictures really didn't look like her to me either, the stand-in just stood their like she was told to, like she was frozen, didn't even move her head one tiny bit to the right or the let of her

  Anyway, can you imagine ol' Bess or Mamie (Truman and Eisenhower for the younger generation) taking those nude shots like Melania? Hey maybe they did, but we'll never know, thank goodness

  Careful, when they find out your true feelings they might report you to the elders.
