I believe that BLM is really wanting to usher in “Black Trans Lives Matter”. However, they are (or were) not politically connected enough to come out and banner that slogan.

The “black community” is not a monolithic group. It is comprised of conservative, church-going people. These people are traditionally anti-gay, anti-trans, and are often downright homophobic. They are active and retired military, college educated, and anti-abortion. They are NAACP, SCLC card-carrying people. In addition to urbanites and single mothers on welfare, they include middle and upper middle class taxpayers who desire to raise their children in two-parent families.

BLM wants to co-opt all of these black citizens and the clout that comes with all they’ve worked for. They are anti-male and anti-father. They stand opposed to the traditional nuclear family structure and are anti-establishment. The confusing BLM agenda is also the agenda of the extreme left. I believe the extreme left’s agenda is damaging to the fabric of modern society.

Just as the voices of non-racist whites are drowned, so, too, are the voices and contributions of productive “black” members of American society. I believe BLM has cloaked their “BLACK LIVES MATTER” chant under the guise of fighting racism against blacks. Their mission goes way beyond that noble sounding claim. The confusion is intentional and meant to disrupt (by their own admission). They are brainwashing the gullible and non-thinker. So, no, I do not agree with BLM’s philosophy.

Fading out during the pandemic?

by Kingdavid41 in

given the current world situation with the covid-19 pandemic and so many social distancing, staying at home and self quarantining.

all meetings are currently being held on zoom assemblies and conventions are viewed via the website .

this is the perfect time to fade-out and you probably won’t even be noticed!

I think it will still depend on how vigilant your congregation is as to whether you'd be noticed. I think it's a great time to take the pressure off of yourself while developing an exit strategy. Log into the zoom meetings with the audio only. Catch Covid and be unavailable for communication. Lose internet and phone service because of job instability.

My JW relatives are tripping over themselves to get us going again...this is REALLY the end!

i agree with people who say all lives matter.

i think blm is a racist group.

if white people pushed an agenda saying white lives matter, some people would have a conniption..

Thank you for explaining how you'd interpret the stats, Simon.

I'll assume the rest of the "you" statements in your post aren't meant for me.

"No, but how you interpret them matter" "It's just math tricks to mislead, not an attempt to have a real conversation."

Simon, how do you interpret the stats that Quetzal cited?

Riots one reason to own an AR15 and several 30 round or 100 round mags.

by phoenixrising in

i hear this from the leftist idiots all the time.

if someone breaks into your home 6 bullets are enough.

well if its a one of i would argue that i still my need more round for even just one person.

@millie210, Very few that I've talked with have made the obvious connection. The media won't cover it much because Covid fear mongering was righteous and just; executed to keep the public safe.

Witnessing Work to Stop?

by Sea Breeze in

my 87 year old dad called me for the first time in 16 years the other day .... just to chat.

i was floored to say the least since he didn't even bother to call me when my mom died several years ago.

he called again today to inquire how i felt about jehovah's witnesses.

Fink, that it is such an improbability is the hook for JWs. Only Jehovah would cause such an event. He will put it into their hearts and minds to turn on religion. At least that's how I remember it.

Meet George Floyd

by cofty in

his murder was a crime and justice must be done, but it's sobering to learn more about the man who is being lionised by millions.

thanks as always to the courageous candace owens.. ....

Cofty - I totally agree. My point is NOT about justified protest against police violence. It is the uncritical way the entire world is lionising a deplorable human being.

I totally agree with you too!!

Considering that whites and others have been victims of police brutality as well, I’m all for the “All lives matter” take on the slogan. I do concede, however, that the blm slogan isn’t intended as a slight to other lives.

“I’m not sure any lives matter anymore” LOL tgnd
