Trump refuses to criticise him, for reasons best known to Putin and Trump.
You can add Putin to a long list of scum that Trump praises... Bashar al-Assad, Rodrigo Duterte, the Rocket man he loves so dearly.
what started as news of a man and woman being found unconscious on a park bench 12 days ago is escalating into an international incident.. sergei skripal had worked as a double agent for british intelligence mi6 before he was discovered and imprisoned in russia in 2006. he was later flown to england as part of a spy-swap in 2010. on sunday 4th march he was discovered along with his 33 year old daughter yulia close to a shopping centre in salisbury.. since then the story has become increasingly bizarre.
a policeman who was first to attend the scene also became critically ill and remains in hospital.
government scientists at porton down have confirmed that the cause is a russian military-grade nerve agent novichok.

trying to follow media reports in the us and elsewhere, a question occurred to me.. in the uk, religious beliefs are largely irrelevant to most people.
even those who claim adherence seem to do so in a fairly vague way and it doesn't seem to make much difference.. in the us (it seems to me) it's a much bigger issue.
the evangelical christian movement seems quite powerful politically in various iterations ("family values" etc.
Nobody stands a chance in American politics unless they believe in Jesus, it is certainly a prerequisite to running for president, it’s a real shame. The sooner we bury all religious bullshit the better.
God bless America.
in the montana sex abuse court case for the first time watchtower has been required by the courts to give a financial statement to the court to assess awards of punitive damages for negligence and (for the first time)malice in non compliance of mandatory reporting laws.. watchtower corp of new york has finances in excess of $2 billion while cc of jw is worth $49 million.
this doesn't include the pensylvania corp or what overseas branches may have.. pretty healthy bank balance by any standards..
Anyone who thinks the WTS is doing well financially may as well join them.
It’s a delusion, they’ve sold the family jewellery, and they can’t turn a profit.
Now and then I’ll play a Kingdom Melody on the guitar.... my wife and I cringe together and smile. We vomit a little and we carry on.
Unfortunately some of those tunes stain your soul permanently.
i intend for this to be one of a series of bite-sized ops on the evidence for evolution.. introduction to dna genes are sequences of dna made up of words (codons) each of which are three letters (bases) long.
there are only four letters in the genetic alphabet (acg&t) each word or codon is the recipe for one amino acid.
there are 20 different amino acids in living organisms.
We are told by evolutionists that “just because we can’t imagine out how evolution did it doesn’t mean that a creator did it” - Perhaps evolutionists should consider that “just because we can’t imagine why a creator would do something in a certain way doesn’t mean that evolution did it”
What dribble.
You talk about “Evolutionists” like it’s a 20th century religion.
so my jw mom messages me on facebook last night and says she wants me, for a month, to read the bible, but first pray using the name jehovah and in jesus name and then read it with an open mind.
she is so ridiculous!
first of all, i do pray but i usually just say father and i always pray in jesus name and i find it ironic that she is saying i should have an open mind when hers is closed.
I have a coffee cup, it’s double insulated ceramic with a nice, solid copper base.
If you address your prayers to my coffee cup, I think you’ll get identical results...
i have never seen this country so divided.
something is going to give.
they is such a lack of recognition for the law.
Europe first.
it's just a week or two away and still no sign of the usual hype?
very strange.... anyone heard anything about it?
perhaps from those still in to some degree or from relatives/friends still in?.
I’m expecting “the best ever”.
its been a minute since posting, have been trying to put this cult in my review mirror and just live life.
but you know this beast rears it's evil head.
my wife found my crisis of conscience book and out came the horns plus i guess what she is hearing at the meetings isn't helping either.
“from what my wife is saying, she believes governments will turn on the witness and that will be the sign that the org will have the sheeple get there go bags and go.
Yep. This is the start of “the great tribulation”.
The JWs believe when the governments interfere with their worship, it’s as if Jehovah’s eyes are poked....he gets really pissed off and kills everyone (Armageddon).
though many things in the bible do not make sense to me, there is something in it that makes my life easy.. this is how i arrived at it.
bible defines god as the servant of his children because he makes provisions for the enjoyment of life in abundance (mathew 5:44-47) and ‘renews’ them if need arises (mathew 19:28) with no intervention whatsoever in between which means he is not interested in gratitude/worship from his children.
yet history shows that people forget him in happiness and remember him only in distress which means he is not given love (though he is the giver of love), and he is not bothered of it.
Every time someone dies of starvation, I know the great care God takes in denying their food. You can believe that nature hasn’t provided, but I believe God is a nasty prick who provides for you while denying others.
