Your assessment of the future is right on target, however we are supposed to live in a country with the "best and brightest".
Are they going to allow something like that to happen?
i never thought i would see that in the us, a "free speech rally" (which has distanced itself from and organizers have nothing at all to do with the right, republicans or extremism) is being counter protested by thousands in boston today, the counter protests being organized by a coalition of black supremacists and sjw's.. on the other hand, google is building a database of speech that doesn't align with the left-wing political values.. i'm not sure what youngsters are thinking these days, but free speech used to be the cornerstone of american civilizations only a few decades ago.
the only way to drown out "bad" free speech is more free speech..

With regards to the experience of the young man expelled from Bethel for fighting, I felt deeply sorry for him. It was obvious that there was a code of silence with regards to the events at the Branch; even after he talked to me I was in no position to help him out. I was concerned and sympathetic, but I lacked the insight and expertise to counsel him in a proper manner.
The other problem was that due to the secrecy I couldn't share his problems with no one else. Bottom line that poor Boy was full of anger and resentment and he was going thru life with that burden. Typical example of a "closed" commune.

OK, by legal means Republicans control all 3 Branches of Government; we have a "do nothing" Justice Department. People are conspiring to create chaos and dissent and the press is aiding and abiding. In view of history and reaching the point of "no return".
What is the solution?

I have a question for New Boy and the other Bethel veterans. Back in the 80s we sent a nice young pioneer to Bethel, he was highly regarded at the Congregation level. After 6 months he came back, very disturbed and completely changed for the worse.
He wouldn't talk much about his experiences, but finally he opened up with me and told that the was sent home because he got into a fight with his supervisor, the way that he put it the supervisor was the aggressor and nothing happened to him, no discipline whatsoever and he remained at Bethel with the same position.
This young man struggled for a while to get back on track and eventually left the Organization. Over the years I have wondered about the veracity of his story and my question to you:
Was this possible?
chapter 18. my privilege of service.
it was moved there in the spring of 1969 from the basement of the 124. why is it that people like to put laundries in basements?
the 119 was the newest of all the society’s properties.
Reading all this information is easy to see why the WT went ahead and dismantled the lifetime Bethel arrangement; it was a powder keg due to explode at any moment and work place liabilities were going to catch with them.

i'm tired of hearing these constant attacks on white supremacists after the events in charlottesville.
why are moderate white supremacists being lumped in together and sharing the blame for the actions of one reprehensible man that misinterpreted the ideals of white supremacy and became violent?
clearly the motivation of such attacks on white supremacists is nothing other than racism.
Seems like the right place for this satire should be "jokes and humor" and not "current events and news".
As to the content, there is a lot of good information to ponder.

Supremacy and Peace don't go together.
Any idea of Superiority is Bad and will bring the Wrong Results.

Thanks for this and waiting for the tale of the Three Freds.
i know or think i know that trump is bluffing and acting very bully like with threats of unleashing his power as commander and chief a military with super weapons.
but why bluff with such boyish stupidity?
i think mr trumps barginings skills are at an all time low and so the threats of violence and retaliation for misbehaving according to the whims of a narcissist.. my confidence in him is at an all time low, talk about cave man club you over the head approach to problems this guy takes the cake.
I do feel the days of US dominance of the world and interference are numbered as it is impossible to hold that it forever or very long change is a part of life.
That is a given, even Mighty Rome went down. Nothing last forever and the US could easily be broken into different areas of control.
