  christopher columbus could be next on the monuments chopping block.. the 76-foot structure honoring the explorer at columbus circle should be among the statues reviewed by the city for potential purging, city council speaker melissa mark-viverito said on monday.. http://nypost.com/2017/08/21/columbus-circle-monument-could-be-next-statue-to-go/.

  if this goes on, these people are just validating what the orange one said, where will it stop?

  how will people 200 years from now look back on us?

  This is a very common occurrence in Latin American countries with the political changes, however the removal of names and statues applies mostly to contemporary figures and not older historical ones.

  Surprisingly the person that started the whole movement of symbols removal here is Nikky Haley, the current ONU Ambassador as SC Governor.

  COLUMBIA, S.C. — Gov. Nikki R. Haley called on Monday for South Carolina to do what just a week ago seemed politically impossible — remove the Confederate battle flag from its perch in front of the State House building here. She argued that a symbol long revered by many Southerners was for some, after the church massacre in Charleston, a “deeply offensive symbol of a brutally offensive past.”

  JWs MUST Accept The Watchtower Teachings EVEN When They Are Wrong!

  by minimus in

  isn't it unbelievable that a jehovah's witness must accept whatever the organization says or they can be disfellowshipped??

  unless they tell you that their understanding has changed, you cannot believe anything unless they say it's ok. .

  many years ago i questioned them about their ridiculous view that whenever the word "heart" was mentioned, it was a literal blood filled organ.

  A very rare position that goes against they teach:

  *** w88 4/1 pp. 30-31 Is Obedience Always Proper? ***
  Jehovah does not expect us to show blind credulity. He does not want from us the kind of obedience that a trainer gets from a beast with a bridle or a whip. That is why he told David: “Do not make yourselves like a horse or mule without understanding, whose spiritedness is to be curbed even by bridle or halter.” (Psalm 32:9) Rather, Jehovah has endowed us with thinking ability and discernment so that, based on understanding, we can choose to obey him.

  Question...

  by ironsnake656 in

  when you were an active member in the jwland, did you expect to receive any kind of help from a brother/sister, but they did not help you?

  when i was in the jwland, i expected and was my belief that any brother/sister will help you in time of need, distress or trouble, because we were part of a "lovely organization".

  but countless of times when i needed and asked for help, nobody from the org helped me.

  The only time when a concerted effort is made to provide help is when the elders get involved, the flock will never act by themselves; when the elders kind of make a push then you will see a whole bunch of people getting on with the program and showing their cooperation and obedience.

  i am a big superhero fan and was looking forward to "the defenders".

  the first two episodes are great but then ... liberalism happens.

  one of the heroes (luke cage, big black guy) goes on this crazy rant, like a liberals wet dream of the bravehearth speech.

  wish this was fake news, but its not.

  for everyone thinking whats the big deal with marxists anarchists forcibly pulling down old offensive statues, this is the slippery slope we are walking onto... fools... please read 1984 people.. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41022954.

  espn has removed a sports commentator from covering an american football game in charlottesville because he has the same name as civil war general robert e lee.. stash: /intesoft-inc.appspot.com/post/c782436dc86c4489b3948663ffc029db.html

  I think ESPN is going bonkers with this. If this gentleman was a Southerner, named after the General they might have a point; but this broadcaster is oriental and the name Lee is very common among Chinese, Korean and other people from that part of the world.

  Imagine what is going to happen with all the Washingtons, Lincolns and so no that we have in our part of the world.

  Not to smart to be fighting wars of 200 years ago and ignoring the ones that we have today.

  When selling was preaching ...

  2. beliefs

  i am going way, way back.

  history reveals that in the beginning the wt was just a publishing house, selling books and magazines; over the years it evolved into what it is today..

  the placement of the original publications was mostly done thru sales people masquerading as preachers.

  In third world counties the reduced literature cost was the only way to get regular pioneers, very few people could afford the out of pocket expenses of the full time service.

  For the special pioneers this was gravy, they had their monthly allowance, their end of year bonus and depending on the location plenty of help from the locals. The majority of them were pretty well set up; most of them wanted to stay as special pioneers and not go into the circuit work.
