Some people really shouldn't be talking about "intellectual honesty," especially those who are easily swayed by Alinskyite propaganda.

Corporate influence in the public arena
by Hortensia inhttp://www.citizenkoch.com/blog/entry/statement-about-public-broadcasting.
i've always considered public broadcasting to be a good idea that doesn't really work out.
the people who run public broadcasting are elitist and self-righteous, and they take money from huge corporations.

The demonization of the Kochs continues. It's really extraordinary how they have been singled out over the past 5 years. It's straight out of the Alinsky text.

This almost reads like one of Badboy's classic threads.

Got a angry letter from our oldest son today we are very hurt from it.
by TotallyADD inwhen i got home today from work my wife showed me a 5 page letter from our oldest son.
he basically said he does not what anything to do with us because of all the wrong things we did as parents to him and his brother.
he blames us for not being there for him and we are toxic parents.

I think in this situation, they unloaded a lifetime of pent up anger all at once, because it was now safe to do so -- you are out of the KH and whatever they said can't come back to the KH to get them in trouble- It's a tsunami- over and done with. Hopefully they will feel some regrets later for some of the things they said-- good luck.
I think you're right, Moshe. They needed to get it out of their system. Hopefully they'll cool down soon.

I'm sorry to hear this. I've forgiven my parents, but I must admit that from time to time I do still feel resentful for having the cult put on me my entire childhood. I hope they come to forgive you too. You were trapped by it just as they were.

Do David Splanes offensive and pompous orations have a silver lining?
by ranmac inim starting to think so.. i was still somewhat active in meeting and assembly attendance when i first started doubting the jw life.
when i first heard splane give a discourse, it was a real wake up call as to what kind of people are controling this organization.
the next time i heard him speak he was even worse.. as ive seen on this forum, many people have had the same experience.. in slimboyfats thread, http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/251890/1/british-zone-visit-from-david-splane-a-report-from-the-special-meeting-in-glasgow, he noted this gem from splane: if traumatic things have happened in your past then just don't think about it, that's the best you can do until the new system.. this is one of the most irresponsible and rage inducing comments i have ever heard.

I don't get it ... 80% of people in Oklahoma DON'T have a Tornado Shelter. Are they nuts ????
by RubaDub ini really don't understand.
how can any homeowner in his right mind, not have a tornado shelter ???
i understand that some people live in apartments and condos, but someone with any size yard (even a driveway) could have a shelter.. to me it's a no-brainer.

Here in Florida with the threat of hurricanes, home have to built to withstand extremely high winds, windows that can withstand 150+ MPH winds, etc etc etc.
Doesn't make much sense to me either. The construction there appears to be very shoddy. Even under our old codes (pre-Hurricane Andrew) the houses held up better than that. Sure, a lot of houses got leveled, but they were in those high winds for hours. We rode it out. I have to tell you, I'm not a fan of wood frame construction in a place with tornados and hurricanes (although I live in one now). Seems to blow right apart. Give me concrete block anytime.
