Comparing evangicals to Jehovah witnesses is idiotic. The WTS is a hell of a lot more dangerous.
Evangelicals are JW lite on most issues, but on the fundamentals, sex and science, they're exactly the same.

Firstborn of all Creation - What does it refer too?
by JW Answers inthe jehovah's witnesses believe the title given to the lord jesus as 'firstborn' is in reference to himself being created.
however as we study the scriptures we can see that it has a greater meaning than being created..

With Trump out, less will be done about the ineffectual wall, perhaps. Pence will do all the crappy things that Christian fundamentalists do and be ineffectual in dealing with the deficit, but might be more of a war hawk than Trump. Who knows, not enough difference to matter.
Till then, I wonder how many businesses that Amazon has put out of business in the last 10 years had high profits and zero federal income taxes during their heydays, like Amazon is doing now? My guess is zero. 11.2 billion in profits, zero taxes. Gotta love it. Yep, this is all sustainable. ugh

The next immigrant caravan will probably need Spanish sub-titles, but it may still be a very effective source of motivation for them.

There is the natural capitalistic need for cheaper labor, and the wall can't address this fundamental reality. Vast amounts of dirt cheap laborers are willing to move, wanting a better life, or at least a semi-decent one.
If the wall does have any impact, it will then only greater incentivize the need/pay-off to beat it.
It becomes just another obstacle on the list of many potentially lethal obstacles already in place for the desperate to overcome.
In the long term, what can WE do to get our national check register back in black, resolve global warming, and help western third world countries become first world? Otherwise, way too soon, none of this might even matter.

Should calling someone 'Nazi' be made illegal?
by LoveUniHateExams ina rabble-rouser called james goddard and a crowd of pro-brexit people called anna soubry 'nazi' recently.. the same crowd also called owen jones a few names.. i don't know these people but they seem to be unsavory people - they were certainly not behaving themselves.. the met police are looking into the matter, to see if the crowd did anything illegal.
a journalist asked the police officer if calling someone 'nazi' is illegal.
the officer said 'that's what we're looking into'.. first, this crowd behaved badly, no question.. what i find fascinating, though, is the speed of response from authorities.. calling people fascist or nazi has been going on for decades.

Labels of are of no use to me. Liberal. Conservative. Right. Left. Far Right. Far Left. Center right. Centrist. Socialist. Fascist. Nazi.
Ideas. Concepts. Conversations that lead gaining of knowledge. Finding truth, facts that comport to reality. These are the things that interest me.
Freedom of speech, the interchange of thought, must be upheld.

Warning: autistic screeching ahead ...
by LoveUniHateExams ina regular guy went into a vape store in georgia recently, to buy his wife some liquid for her e-cigarettes.
his big mistake was to wear a trump t-shirt.
the shop assistant went completely mental because of the t-shirt.. the customer remained calm throughout and eventually got the product he wanted (i think).. but what a scene!

Apostates are mentally diseased.
Liberals are mentally diseased.
Conservatives are mentally diseased.
Martians are mentally diseased.
Who am I leaving out? I wish to add to this great thread.

November 2018 Watchtower study....attacking weak members, their personalities, and apostates
by RULES & REGULATIONS inthe watchtower society always attempts to disprove or discredit valid arguments or statements by criticizing the ability of individuals to think, reason, ask tough questions and make their own decisions!
if they can't logically attack the message, they attack the messenger!!
the name calling of apostates or anyone who doesn't agree with all the wtbts flip-flops ( the light gets brighter) never stops!

Some were stumbled by an adjusted understanding of a Bible passage.
This is a really great example of "spinning" and gaslighting.
The literal generation of 1914 died off without Armageddon happening. No new interpretation changes this fact of history. Folks started doubting because they believed and preached a lie/falsehood/untruth/(insert not-truth descriptor here) for a few decades.

A Wide-ranging discussion both fascinating and sometimes enlightening
by TerryWalstrom inrubin is a gay atheist formerly affiliated with the young turks, ben shapiro is an orthodox jew who mainly comments on politics from a conservative pov.
dr. jordan b peterson is a professor of psychology at the university of toronto, a clinical psychologist, a public speaker.____none of these men is interested in discussing politics in this discussion, rather in centering on the overlap between rational, secular belief and any underlying religious truth which may be hidden in mythos.i know that sounds like the most boring thing possible--but--i assure you it is riveting.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ophwshr798&t=3112sif you watch through to the last hour, the topic is brilliantly deconstructed with an honesty and intelligence rarely witnessed in live events..

Starting from left to right, we've got Christian Deepak Chopra, an opportunist that thinks building codes is a dumb idea, and somebody that wouldn't go to Rubin's gay anniversary party.

Dysfunctamentalism
by Incognigo Montoya inin reading through many posts over the last few months, i have started to form a viewpoint towards at least some of those witnesses/witness families, who are abusive and overzealous in their thinking.. arguably, many, if not all here, would say all pimi witnesses are overzealous in their thinking, but i sort of disagree with that.
without revealing too much about myself, my parents who are still in (father long time elder, mother regular pioneer), i consider stable and balanced in their views.
while i was shunned to a degree, after being disfellowshipped (they didn't go out to dinner or the movies with me or socialize with me publicly or very often privately, they didn't attend my wedding) they still spoke to me on the phone every few months, as i checked in on them and let them know i was doing alright (i moved out of state in my late teens).

Becoming a JW many times just adds insult to injury.
I know a single (long time) pioneer that became a Witness while finishing up her bachelor's degree at Berkley.
She's been miserable ever since.
It appears that she thinks she's happy, but she exudes misery and loneliness.
