  Do JWs eat shrimp, crab, lobster, clams, and mussels?

  i'll play devil's advocate.... true, the mosaic law code prohibited the eating of blood.

  but jesus fulfilled the law covenant thus wiping out all the laws previously set.

  but then later, (through god's spirit, of course wink wink) the abstaining of blood was again brought to followers of christ.

  It's okay to eat those things as long as they are not prepared in aluminum cookware.

  Greenland For Sale

  the donald has recently suggested that he would like to look into buying greenland from denmark in the same manner that alaska was purchased from the russians.

  i think the danes would be smart to look into selling it as it is costing them money every year with very little returns for their investments so far.. the alternative might well be that donald declares greenland a national security threat and invades them so that the world remains safe for democracy.

  i would suggest to the danes that as any other real estate transaction that they put it on the open market and see how much russia or china are willing to offer .

  Do You Believe The News Media Is Trustworthy?

  recently a friend and i were having a conversation about the news media.

  he is a democrat but he’s also a very reasonable person.

  i’ve known him for many years.

  I don't think it's a black and white issue. News outlets do spin any story to fit the bias of their main views. That is why I find it important to investigate all sides of a story and come to my own conclusion. Of course this takes time and there is not enough time to do this for 100% of the news.

  One thing I do know for a fact. The first thing cult leaders do, is to tell you not to look at any information or material that makes the cult leader or group look bad. It's all lies they say!
  

  I find it somewhat hypocritical to paint 'News Media' with a broad brush of not being 'trustworthy' while defending a president who lies almost every time he opens his mouth.

  @lv101 - I concede that the assault ban studies showed mixed results and more time would be needed for accurate proof either way.

  When President Clinton banned assault weapons and limit high-capacity magazines in 1994 there was a big drop in mass shooting deaths. When President Bush allowed the ban to expire, they rose again.

  Sure, Trump bares some responsibility, not ALL and not NONE, but some responsibility that would be difficult to quantify. Words do matter.

  I think Trump does bare 100% responsibility for rolling back Obama-era regulation that would add anyone receiving Social Security checks for mental illnesses to be added to the national background check database.
  

  Who thinks it's a good idea to have folks with enough mental illness to collect disability checks should be allowed easy access to guns? Not me!

  If I have to listen to the people in the apartment next door have sex, then Alexa should have to listen to me have sex too!

  If You Criticize A Person of Color Are You A Racist?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  seriously, it’s getting to a point that you can’t make a negative comment about someone without being charged as a racist, homophobe or sexist!

  if you criticize a female, you are obviously sexist.

  if you criticize someone who happens to be gay, you must hate homosexuals.

  Trump railed about the country's direction for 8 years Obama was in office. Should he have left or Shush?
