It seems like Satan and Jesus are on the same page?? 😝
DD of course they were, in the story about the desert temptation, the leap from the temple, they were hurling scriptures at each other like competing brothers that they were. (Satan really good at quoting the bible too bsw.)

What does the rise of Donald Trump tell us about the USA?
by fulltimestudent ini thank one of my former lecturers for drawing my attention to this overview.. after some 100 years, living out its "manifest destiny" dream, as the hegemon of the world, what has this 'dream' done to/for the usa?
the approaching presidential election provides an opportunity to examine this question.. and what of all the appendage organisations (like the wts) that rode across the world on the hegemon's coattails?.
the answer may be here: http://www.vox.com/2016/3/1/11127424/trump-authoritarianism.

Simon: " Hitler hadn't killed anyone when he was making promises to be elected and wasn't promising to kill anyone (unlike Trump who seems to like the idea) I am not too sure about that, I never read Mein Krampf, written in the 20s, but did the book not spell out his racial policies, and Trumpf, did he not say he could kill and still be elected?

Lame and werid sample presentations at the meeting
by purrpurr inthey used to let bro's and sis's do the sample presentation and give them the leeway to put it in their own words thereby making it more natural.
not so anymore!
these days the sample presentations are beamed from mother website.. they seem to have been written by someone who has no experience of how people talk in real life.

Wt is creating a two-world view. The one with wt glasses,(can someone bring them back), where the Field Service is all charm, and the reality that exists in the real world which swings from apathy to real expressed resentment on the part of the public. Nobody is in awe of the messengers. it is just awful though. -

In the struggle to produce better, implements, food, housing, the observer is forced to look at the immensity of the existing cosmos, it comes naturally to think (function of the brain ) that a more powerful being was doing THAT work. -

Wt "study" Participation, is it a "True Believer" Indication?-- or not?
by prologos inin our congregation, the elders rarely comment.
the majority rarely comment, 2 sisters, vehemently, and often comment.
since in their case, it can not possibly be" teaching in the congregation", is participation in the wt "study"in general an affirmation of faith?

Good point xjwsrock! that is why the elders are perking their ears, to listen what the "spiritual" (indoctrination) stage the person is in, commenting is kind of aconfessional. what is your confession? -
