If you read about trump's dealings, you discover that he is a very flexible operator, he might just emerge as another quasi Reagan, unbeholden to anyone but himself, able to at least fulfill some of the wishes that the voters projected onto him.

Sam Harris on Trump - The Most Powerful Clown
by cofty inharris is at his incisive best in his latest podcast.. he likens the situation to being on an aeroplane where the pilot has died and somebody with no experience of flying has grabbed the controls.
we should all be committed to his success.
prize for the best line goes to - "caligula with a iphone".. even if you love trump and despise harris you should appreciate his clarity.. waking up with sam harris....

Election Post-Mortem
by Simon ini'm sure many people, republicans included, are shocked at the results of the 2016 presidential election.
really, wtf!.
the polls were wrong and although it's tempting to blame voter suppression and fbi interference, that would just avoid looking at the real issues for the loss.

with a mandate like his, Potus, Senate, House and soon SCOTUS, he could smother the creeping divide by amending the constitution to make English the only language allowed at any level. No more beef patties named after Hamburg, the german harbor.

JWs and nuetrality - Trump
by Listener infor those that are receiving messages of doom and gloom from jws, they might like to remind them about obedience to their organization and what they were told in the april, 2016 watchtower which was studied only a few months ago, in august.these are some of the highlights-.
although the bible teaches that god’s adversary, satan, has authority over political systems, it does not say that he directly controls each leader or official.
(luke 4:5, 6) we should therefore avoid implying that a particular official is controlled by the devil.

The beauty of jw neutrality is that they can be neutral, until their favourite candidate starts showing winning numbers, then the cheer, internally

Baptism 1973 and 1985 Questions hmmmmmmmmmm!
by Beans ini was doing some research and noticed that the baptism questions were changed several times over the years.
the questions in 1973 were as follows: *** w73 5/1 280 baptizing follows discipling *** if you feel the same about serving jehovah god and taking christs yoke upon you, we suggest that you consider the following two questions, which are asked of candidates for baptism:.
(1) have you repented of your sins and turned around, recognizing yourself before jehovah god as a condemned sinner who needs salvation, and have you acknowledged to him that this salvation proceeds from him, the father, through his son jesus christ?

In fact a sin against the Father or the Son is easily forgiven -- but a sin against the Organization is not forgiven.
copied this from the link. Organisation = H spirit, so: sin against the organisation can never be forgiven. ramifications.

GB "... it can make mistakes when explaining the Bible ..." Simplified version WT Feb 2017
by freddo instudy article: who is leading god's people today?
start of paragraph 12.. standard version: "the governing body is neither inspired nor infallible.
therefore, it can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction.".

jwl: "--Many of the current teachings, Bible explanations and directions of the current governing body were never mentioned or practiced by the first century governing body. So which governing body made the mistake?
The apostles, the elders in Jerusalem, were in a different class then the brooklyn-. wallkill/ warwick ed 7. Only the latter day [saints] anointed are the true F&DS. so, don't be surprised at flights of fancy that do not add up to truth.

Well said DD!
The fact that they expect witnesses to "preach" something that can very well turn out to be incorrect, is one of the most disturbing things ever!I happened to me with the "superior Authorities" at a bible study.(let god be true) I had made a brilliant defense of the untenable, already changed proposition, S.O. = J&J. so:--wt will never make a fool of me again. they are the fools fooling around with doctrine fit for the latrine.

Org Is RACIST! Towards Sisters Of COLOR In Particular--IMO!
by HiddlesWife ini'm sorry--i'm getting this very sensitive vibe that the org (mainly those at the top) don't have any respect--forget about love--for sisters of color.

There are many matriarchies in the world, and more are emerging. The lionesses of those societies will chafe under the entrenched male ancient religions : Paul: " it is a disgrace for a woman to speak in the assembly of the holy ones,"--" no woman allowed to teach--" . The current Pope: "Woman will never become priests, never. --" , so if you are used to dominate your men, regardless of hue,j ust allowing their macho antics, find a religion that suits you. Now: in praise of Asian woman, colour: pleasant. dominating men without these noticing it.
