It's a peculiarity of human nature that groups that on the surface appear to be very close often have a huge amount of antipathy for each other.
If you've ever seen Hopis and Navajos interact together you know exactly what I'm talking about, but the phenomenon is hardly limited to those two groups.
Race (Or the perception thereof) is only one of many reasons why humans decide to dislike each other.
yeah, so this is a pretty good video regarding the up-coming us presidential election.. i'm no expert in us politics, so if this video is a load of crap, please say so .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2fo83cp7vg.
But on further investigation ,I find that both the Republican party and the Democrat party are both happy to leave that situation as it is , and as far as I can tell so do the majority of the American people,all I can say then is.
Yes. And in the same vein, Republicans have been perfectly happy with absentee / mail-in ballots in past.

So what`s the bloody point of giving the American citizens the right / privilege to vote if the Electoral college can overide the majority opinion of voters?

when you think about it the jws was foundationaly created upon a single core doctrine which was created close to a 100 years ago, that is the doctrinal year of 1914 .. the leader(s) of the ibsa in 1919 proclaimed that jehovah had selectively chosen them or him as it were by j. rutherford, they also self identified themselves as the anointed class the faithful slave.. from all of these expressive endeavors a new religion sprung up eventually calling themselves the jehovah's witnesses.
years and decades followed where more and more people were lured into the faith making themselves subservient devoted members as well, some also identifying themselves as the anointed class.
the jws proclaimed through their leaders (gb) that they were true loyal witnesses to jehovah's will and purpose, but were they really ?
In 1919, the late Russell was believed to be the faithful and wise servant and this was taught at least until 1923.
In 1928, Rutherford claimed that the Society (i.e. The anointed as a company) was that servant and this idea, with minor modifications was taught until fairly recently.
scanning thru the usual jw sites, i saw a link to this site:.
https://www.talk2practice.com/.
looks like a standard language-tutoring site, right?.
It just seems so sketchy, from beginning to end
It does. Or at the very least, unprofessional.
It says you need a basic knowledge of the target language to participate.
Okay, what would that be? A2? B1? B2? Maybe even C1?
The site doesn't use the basic terms of language learning.
they have predicted this for years.
religions of the world would become attacked by the governments.
the only difference is when they go after jehovah’s witnesses, then jehovah god will step in and destroy the governments..
Were JWs Right That There Would Be A Time When Governments Would Go After All Religion?
No.
The JW claim was that governments would turn on all religion, making it "devastated" and "naked."
Religion is too basic a human need for that to happen. Sure there are authoritarian regimes here and there and people who dislike religion in all forms here and there, but the idea of it happening around the world is ridiculous.
Imagine how that idea would play out with any of the three Abrahamic faiths, for example. Christians, Muslims and Jews have happily died for their religions for thousands of years. Imagine how the idea would be received in the Middle East, where the distinction between government and religion is debatable.
the media like cnn msnbc, nytimes, etc.
have incentives to scare the public and encourage lock down--blame trump.. democrats also have incentives, to lock down the country—blame trump.
there were incentives for hospitals to report every death as a covid death------30,000 us dollars funded from the government for every covid death reported by any hospital.
I was talking about other countries. As in Israel. And Germany. And the UK. And Japan. And Canada. And Finland. And France. And South Korea. And India. And China
American politics does not dictate medical practices for the whole world.

I don't have a closed mind when it comes to alternative treatments, but the tie-in to American politics sounds sketchy.
Surely you realize that every single technologically advanced country in the world is exploring treatment options?
this will never work but liberals are too stupid to know it.
first off all you have to do is cross the border and buy a car.
if they will not let you license it in the state then many will license it out of state.
ban private car ownership altogether. limit travel to essential journeys only.
My daily commute is 82 miles (132 kilometers) round trip. Not at all unusual in the U.S.
if you accuse people of being stuck in jw mindset or "cult-like" mentality simply because someone has a different view of politics than you, you'll be deleted.. it's insulting and a lazy substitute for having any real argument for a proper debate.. what next ... "you smell" ?.
It doesn't really matter what the belief is.
If it's coming from a place of emotion rather than reason, there are going to be similarities to the JW's.
This is a human thing that all of us are susceptible to because we're all human,
