  do you think that when people leave the religion that they are basically now, “normal”?

  or do you think it’s more a work in progress?.

  I like the comment if you were an arsehole as a JW you still might be one as an ex.

  Are 'The Proud Boys' white supremacists?

  the name proud boys was brought up during the pre-election debate.. trump caught quite a bit of flack for refusing to condemn the group.. well, i just discovered a youtube vid examining a so-called racist incident between a proud boys member and antifa.. and the pb guy is married to a black woman and has a mixed-race daughter.. and, apparently, people of color can join and have joined the group.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hysfylmv1wi.

  are they really white supremacist?.

  Proud Boys are obviously not white supremacists. Why would Trump condemn them as white supremacists if they aren’t? These guys aren’t paramilitary. That statement is rank stupidity.

  It takes a while before all the pieces of the puzzle begin to fit. Very few people up and leave and are automatically ok.

  How much do Elders actually get along with each other?

  by Davros in

  i was reading in the shepherding book that elders should “ cul­tivate and maintain friendships with one another.”, and thought to myself “bulls$it!” i remember that most of the elders in my old congregation were nothing but nasty asses.

  i know it may vary from congregation to congregation, but do elders generally get along with each other behind closed doors in elders meetings?

  or, are they often in conflict with each other?

  As a collective group, elders will often stick up for one another but privately acknowledge that Elder so and so is a weirdo. But unless everyone really detests him, he’s in da club

  Should Social Media Silence Conservative Views?

  i find it very disturbing that media outlets as well as facebook, instagram, google and others decide that a point of view is not acceptable simply because they don’t share an opinion.

  perhaps it is at least right now but i think it’s very wrong.

  what’s your view?

  I think liberal thought as well as conservative should be allowed equally in discussion . All types of legitimate news should be allowed. Fake news should not be presented but opinions should be allowed to be expressed.

  Small business will be dead if they close again for an extended period of time. I hope it doesn’t happen but I see not a care in the world by the powers that be.

  A Salute to Petra/Atlantis

  whilst i have never quite understood whether petra and atlantis are one or multiple entities i recognise the value of their work and web of contacts.

  i think it is fair to say that no-one has consistently contributed more solid gold intelligence to this site.

  no one has reliably passed on more bomb shells and solid news as well as day to day minutiae.

  i've had a few medical procedures.

  once, i had a massive loss of blood and needed 6 units of blood to replace the loss.

  however, i'm curious as to what ex's state to be their religion when filling out the required paperwork when being admitted into a hospital.
