  i've been a member of this board three years longer than i was a jehovah's witness (eighteen vs fifteen).

  i'm sure i've put in more hours here than i did in field service, it was more fun as well.

  anybody else with similar numbers?.

  Yes you are quite right about ”western countries generally”, especially Scandinavian Countries and the Netherlands. For us it is quite funny to hear all of those “running for presidency” absolutely and obligatory must declare that “they have a faith in God” and especially that they are “true Christian”. (Bush, Trump and more). The habit of swearing an oath with your hands on the Bible in court and other places…..This is truly double standard… "the American way"

  climate change ... who doesn't believe it?

  crazy fools and science deniers ... right?.

  it seems like it's become the new religion, the new orthodoxy, that must be accepted and believed as gospel and preached to all.. is it ok to be skeptical?.

  Trying to influence an election is not a crime…..

  But accepting money and bluff information from a foreign country (Russia + oligarchs) …isn´t that a crime in the US?

  i am writing the post i have wanted to write for some time.

  it's a heartfelt note to those still attending meetings, still caught between the lines of watchtower and the world.

  those with kids or a spouse in the society..... despite being mentally out....those who have weighed up that there is too much to lose in leaving.

  You are quite right. Interpretations of Bible texts are totally idiocy. The Bible itself have during almost 2000 years proved itself to be unreliable, stupid and untrue. Why are we still stucked with old texts that only shows ancient sagas? We could easily chose The Gilgamesh epos or some Hindu Sagas and made them holy instead..

  ”spiritually weak” is according to the borg, something very contagious and mortally. It´s like the “black death” in Europe 1348. It spreads very fast and the best thing is to run away were you can´t find any infected with the virus which is naturally only among those that are in “a god stand”.

  Do You Care If A World Leader Had An Affair Before Taking Office?

  i don’t care about it unless someone runs on a record of being a model family man or woman.. does it bother you if a president or princess or top government official “cheats “??

  Really, Trumph is not different from many on the other “world leaders”. You can count almost everyone from Alexander the Great, via Henrik the V111, to Napoleon, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol pot, to Jacob Zuma, Saddam Hussein, Putin and a numbers of others. The ting is “why do we accept” rampant layers… narcissistic if not fully blown out psychopaths, as our leaders? Why do we accept that seven men dictate to us if we should have a beard or not….
