  Believing Everything That You Hear

  you would think exjws would be on the lookout for anything said by people...the news media, politicians, actors that might sound suspicious or questionable.

  it seems like some people just will never learn how to be discerning..

  Yes, I truly believe that someone who consistently makes up facts and statistics should not be believed, and those who believe them are a lost cause, because they deny what is said even when caught on video and tape. And yes, everyone has lied, but I'm talking about flagrant lies on a daily basis.

  It's amazing how any mention of Trump, whites, rights, masculinity, and women's equality, always brings the same right wing , fact denying, whataboutist victims swarming.

  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?.

  LongHairGal,

  So like many, you choose to ignore the true statistics. Like a certain politician. No point in arguing with you, just have to wait for the cognitive dissonance to kick in. If ever does.

  This Is It...

  just finished watching the talk by tony morris on john cedars channel.

  sounded to me that he was hedging his bets.

  on the one hand he says "this is it" and out of the other he says prophecies are best understood after they are fulfilled.

  Amos 3:7 talks about revealing things to prophets. The GB says they aren't prophets, so doesn't that mean that they aren't qualified to prophesie?

  Waton,

  Government studies in the United States show that immigrants, both legal and illegal, commit fewer crimes than the native born. Shoots any "pale peace" theory out of the sky. Could it be that the majority of those that come here are looking for a decent, safe place to live, rather than to rape and plunder?

  LUHE,

  I'm sorry if I offended you. You didn't actually say that you consider whites superior, and I apologize for that. I'm a little prejudiced in that there is a long history in America of whites that want a society in which whites have all the control, and most (not all! ) of those are white supremacists., so I sometimes let that color my remarks.

  I suppose I'm a little puzzled, in that even the younger ones of us on this site will be gone before there is a noticeable change in our way of life. I have a son in University, and from what I see of his contemporaries, they're much more comfortable with diversity, (culture, race, LGBTQ concerns among others.) Why not let them decide what they want?

  If the future is a brown one, with a common culture that's a mix of all the best, people getting along, everyone housed, with plenty to eat and wear, and people able to pursue their desires, I can live with that. Certainly, the way things are isn't the way to go, and making all countries segregated by racial majorities will do nothing to ease tensions between nations.

  But, that's my opinion. You and I are already hard-wired to feel what we feel, and I can no more understand your feelings than you can mine.

  I'll leave it at that. Thanks for an interesting debate.

  Since the 25th Amendment was enacted to remove incapacitated or mentally unfit Presidents, they were correct to consider a wiretap if they truly believed Trump was unfit to carry out his duties. How else do you think they should get evidence to invoke the 25th? Have him sign a statement in which he admits he's nuts?

  'Spiritual food' and the global south

  i'm watching john cedars rebuttal of the annual meeting, and right at the start stephen lett starts going on and on about spiritual food, how nutritious it is, how filling it is, it comes across as weird but it doesn't help admittedly that the guy looks like bozo the clown forgot his act.

  but the thought just came to me as i'm eating dinner.. not everybody gets dinner.

  not everybody gets three meals a day.

  Remember when Christ fed 5,000 with 5 Watchtowers and two New World Bibles?

  i think most of our imaginations of the new world was probably nothing like the watchtower reality.

  after all, we jws are very good at avoiding uncomfortable truths!

  you can tell micheal jackson was a certain type of jehovahs witness.

  If Jehovah really sees men's hearts, why does he use such convoluted ways to kill the wicked? Only a cruel, unloving, God would cause such suffering. That's why so many blind themselves to the wording in the Watchtower. They know in their hearts that a loving God would never be so unfair, or illogical.

  The 12 Apostates

  I likewise would be dead or living on the street if I had to rely on the US health care system. Without the caps established by the Affordable Care Act, I would be homeless, due to a heart attack, gallbladder surgery, eye surgery, and torn meniscus in both knees, none of which could be foreseen. Luckily, I'm now on Medicare, or I would be uninsurable at this point..

  I'm sure many here have insurance through their jobs, so don't realize the fear that those less fortunate have of any major illness.

  People will disagree, but there is a tiny minority of people who take advantage of the social safety net. If they're fine with the majority of those less fortunate suffering and dying because a few are cheaters, that's up to them and their conscience.
