what is it about some of these self proclaimed "christians" who go seeking persecution when it don't exist?.
we've had a case locally in calgary where the initial reports sounded like the person had a legitimate claim: a bus driver didn't want to drive the bus in a gay pride parade and said he'd resign if they made him and that the local transit company was threatening him to force him to do it.. except it was all invented ... by him !.
they already proactively told him that there was no danger that he would be asked to drive that bus in the parade (i.e.
Ratigan, why do you think the Supreme Court has an odd number of justices?
( The answer is: so they never have an evenly divided court. )
I don't understand why you have such an issue with a "divided" court. Why is the existence of 5-4 decisions so disturbing to you?
And I think it's pretty obvious how this situation gets "checked" and by which branch of government.
(It's the Executive branch's job to appoint judges. )
as a true believer in the watchtower, i never knew how truly boring i was until being out for a couple of years and then sitting down with a group of jws and having a conversation..

i decided to go have breakfast at mcdonalds and a group of jws who were out in service and know me also stopped for breakfast and sat down with me and we talked for about an hour.

I know sometimes things do appear cut off to me, though.
I think it has something to do with posting long web address links in the post.

No, the first post is okay as well.
Could it be about screen size? I have a 10 inch screen.

"The People" are not one of the 3 branches of government, as I'm sure you know.
Any law is subject to review by the Judicial branch.

Ratigan, people appeal to the Supreme Court because that's the way the US government is handled.
We have 3 branches of government:
Legislative, Executive, and Judicial
This Separation of Powers is built into the Constitution to prevent any one branch from overreaching.
So if the Legislative branch passes laws that overreach, it is the Judicial branch's job to interpret them as to their Constitutionality. If they are determined to be unconstitutional, then the laws are overruled.
So, Obergefell went down in the exact appropriate way.
BTW, this is a 4th grade social studies lesson. It's amazing how many Americans didn't pay attention.

And, she hears it twice a week at meetings, from others when she goes in field service and any time she is on JW.org.
It's gaslighting, really. Not many JWs are happy, but the constant repeat of "we're the happiest people on earth" denies their reality.
It's like the organization is the personification of Narcissist Personality disorder. They are always right, all transgressions are justfied, everyone exists to serve their needs and they'll gaslight you in a minute to make you doubt your feelings or recollections.
I'm so sorry you have to watch your mother fall for this and suffer in her old age.
