  Colorado Mass Shooting

  by Simon in

  terrible news out of colorado this morning of a mass shooting in a supermarket leaving 10 dead.. missing from the homepage of cnn is any description of the shooter.

  that's because it's a muslim refugee from syria who was apparently anti-trump and not a "maga white guy" which would otherwise be included in every headline.. more kids in cages than ever before (but strangely, now no one in the media seems to care) and now this.. biden doesn't have the magic wand he promised after all, right?.

  I think the shooter has been here pretty much his whole life. He was described as “ antisocial “.

  When You Were A Witness Did You Believe Everything Taught?

  obviously at some point you stopped believing the witnesses had the truth or else you wouldn’t be here.

  .

  but for the most part, were you a true believer or were you typically a rebel or a doubter?

  It’s lot of mental gymnastics. You find yourself trying to convince yourself why you should just “wait” on Jehovah. In other words bury it.

  There is usually some thing that hits us and we say we have had enough. It’s often a cumulative effect.

  He’s got that deer in the headlights look. It really is sad that they put this guy as the President. I really don’t think he’s mentally able to be president. He’s probably just a figurehead.

  Did The Witnesses Mess Up Your Sex Life?

  by minimus in

  most of the witnesses i knew never really talked about sex.

  whatever couples did was pretty much kept quiet.

  every once in a while a wife might complain to the elders or a friend that the husband is too demanding or even immoral because of the sex practices the husband wanted.

  Agreed. Kids with normal hormones are either forced to Pioneer or get married. Stay busy preaching to keep your mind off of sex or get married. Dating is not a game!

  Only 144000 go to heaven? Really??

  You pick and choose what you want to believe and then proclaim that the JWs have the Truth. You can’t take blood. Witnesses died from this rule. If they wanted to take a fraction of blood they couldn’t. Either die or get disfellowshipped. Then they changed their minds and a New Truth. You can’t have it both ways. Either it was truth or it wasn’t.

  Superior authorities were taught as Truth that it applied to governments. Then the Truth changed. The New Truth is it’s Jehovah God and Christ. Oops, not the Truth. It’s back to Old Truth being Renewed Truth and it applies to governments.

  If you can fairly apply just a little logic to what you think is the Truth, you will see it is not Truth. If you can’t see the obvious, you are in a cult and you can’t see the forest through the trees. Sad.

  I think death penalty is a fair punishment to the deserving. Why pay to care for these people and what benefit to society does having a serial killer around anyway?

  Jehovah’s Witnesses play mental gymnastics when it comes to proving a Watchtower point. They will take things out of context insert words that are not in the Bible etc.
