just when you thought you've heard it all, out comes some new information on the russian hijacking of our election.
former fbi agent clint watts testified about the full extent of russian interference.
it goes back further than we thought; more extensive and broader in its reach (marco rubio was in their sights); and with greater planning.. even russians who were in charge of this fake news operation have mysteriously died.. watts told the committee to “follow the dead bodies” to learn more, referring to several russians connected to kremlin fake news who have died in the past few months.. what else can we expect from such a murderous thug who expresses such gratitude to his own men?
Yes, clickbait fake news articles on social media and some WikiLeaks emails showing that political parties operate exactly as we all imagined they did was all it took to take down Hillary. Sad.
So, If (I'm not saying it is) it turns out that all this speculation is true, are you going to insist that all that Russia did had no effect on the election?
Please , no deflection, Yes or No.
at this point, i think we have a good idea of everyone's opinion of islam.
for the love of god, can we move on to something else!

Me: "there is an intrinsic terrorist and Human rights problem within Islam"
That's exactly my opinion. If you'd just said that at the beginning we would have avoided all this angst.

Of Islam? Oh yea! more than a bit
Thanks for your honesty.
I think it's funny that I didn't venture an opinion at all whether Islam was good or bad, and you folks come out of the woodwork to attack it. Next time I'll just post the word "Islam" and see if you get all hot and bothered about that.

So, I take it some of you still have a bit of bashing to do.
Bohm, I admire your well thought out comments. If you're reading this, I hope you'll reconsider commenting on this subject anymore, as it just encourages more vitriol from certain people that I shall not mention, as I'm tired of the insults.

i was thinking about this.... in my congregation, i was literally the only one with universitary education, out of a cong from around 110 people.... and we're very close to a very big university, which makes it even weirder.. on the other hand... sooo many here with their own business, mostly small cleaning businesses.
cleaning windows, or cleaning somewhere else... painters.... all have jobs that do not require any education level, cos they never had a decent education.. how is the composition of the jw people/congs that you know about?.
how many painters... cleaners... compared to people with jobs that require higher education?.
My eldest son graduated from a local University and was immediately hired by the same school to work in administration.
Good salary, great benefits (immediate medical, a month of paid vacation), and within a year married his dream girl. Has a flexible schedule that allows him to auxiliary pioneer, while his wife pioneers. Able to take a month off to go where the need is great this summer. Damn that education!
i dont know if this is becoming a national thing or even globally.
but im hearing more and more people i knew from my jw days have taken their kids out of school to home school them instead.
in my sisters case she's taken her 8yo and 6yo children out already and her 3yo wont ever start a school.
Unless the parents or children are motivated, the chances for success are slim. There are at least three families in my congregation where the grown children still live at home, with marginal jobs at best.
i got this account second hand.
a former bethelite was reassigned to a local congregation.
he had been at bethel for years and is now in his fifties.
New Bethel candidates should be told of a loving provision from Jehovah that releases them into the field at 55 so they have ten years to build up Social Security.
i noticed a recent commenter mention an assembly that had only one baptism, a born in.
the last assembly i went to had three baptisms, of which two were born ins.
could part of the motivation for youth baptism be to avoid the embarrassment of an assembly with no baptisms at all?
I've never been to an assembly with no baptisms, so wasn't sure if they kept a supply of backups for emergencies.
no wonder the gb aren't too concerned about getting involved in foreign politics.
they have rutherford's clone on their side.. https://www.rt.com/usa/376119-trump-political-speech-churches/.
at the national prayer breakfast, president donald trump repeated a campaign promise, vowing to end the federal law that restricts political speech and activity by churches and other tax-exempt organizations.
The churches should have all the rights we have as long as they shoulder all the burdens the rest of us work under, such as paying taxes. Maybe Trump is getting ready to screw them in his new budget, as he's done to the rest of his base(except the 1%).
