You do make some good points Old Navy but obviously not all people who play these games and watch these movies act out with them otherwise we would all really be up shit creek.
From what I have read this kid used the weapons that his father had legally obtained and no doubt his father never expected his kid to do something like this .
America to this day still seems to have the culture of the "Old Wild West Days" carry a gun and shoot to kill ,ask questions later and be prepared to face whatever consequences arise.
Sadly their just does not seem to be an easy solution to this problem of school shootings and I`m at a loss on how they are ever going to solve it.
And the way things stand their are going to be a lot more mass shootings of school children before this years end .

The American bishop was an embarrassment who went on & on & on & on .
Watching the guests faces as he raved on was classic .Prince harry you could see was not pleased .
I mainly watched the AFL and just saw snippets of the wedding however my wife watched it in another room.

This religion is nothing like the religion it used to be.While the Mags Watchtower and Awake were never high quality publications such as "The Plain Truth" magazine printed by the AoG I think ,at least some of their books
were of high quality paper and professional looking.And seemed to make sense if you were ignorant of what was actually written in the Bible
Not so anymore from what I can gather.They seem to have hit rock bottom.And with each year passing they seem to be getting worse .
I can`t see them ever getting back to their heyday of years gone by.
Not that I`m lamenting it by the way

What makes you---YOU?
by eyeuse2badub in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
of course this is an open ended question but have you ever really thought about what makes you who you are?.

is it our looks, our personality, our physique, our intelligence, our experiences and subsequent memories, our beliefs?

is it a combination of all these things and even more?

I am that I am , I`m not sure whether that makes me God or Popeye

law enforcement officials in birobidzhan, russia, a small town close to the border with china, raided 20 homes belonging to jehovah’s witnesses, according to members of the religious organization.. the raids were conducted by around 150 police officers, who nicknamed their operation “judgement day,” jarrod lopes, a member of the jehovah’s witnesses, told newsweek.

police confiscated photographs, bank cards, money and electronic devices from the houses they searched, said lopes.. a criminal case was opened against a man named alam aliev, who will be kept in pretrial detention until july, members of the religious group said.

The Jehovah`s Witness religion is an American man made religion that practices their own form of persecution on members that leave the sect and they expect International Human Rights organizations to come to their aid I find ironic
Russia and America have never been the best of friends and the J.W.`s are not the only religion that Russia is or has targeted.

all of chile's 34 bishops resign over a sex abuse and cover-up scandal after crisis meeting with the pope.

may 18, 2018. pope francis has accused chile's bishops of destroying evidence of sex crimes .

It will be interesting to see if the Pope agrees with their offer to resign or whether he refuses to accept their offer.
After all it was a token gesture to OFFER to resign not that they actually did so .

A school shooting almost one a week so far this year is that right ?
How long will this madness continue before the authorities come to grip with it and find the solution ?
such a needless waste of young peoples lives.

Gonna read the new bible front to back

i'm gonna read the new light bible front to back.

(see how far i make it).

besides wanting to read more.
smiddy3

What`s the new light bible ? And how does it differ from the old light Bible ?
If either of those Bibles contain the Old Testament and by any chance you actually get through reading all of this and you still think Jehovah God is a God of Love ?
Then you need to get your head read by a shrink.
