  I grew up going to District Conventions at The Vet, in the middle of summer of course. It was sweltering. I hated every minute. Due to the poor acoustics of the concrete monstrosity, if you sat anywhere besides right up front all you heard was reverberating echo all the way up. Attending DC's there was a complete waste of time. I still have photos from my childhood showing my family there. It was miserable. My JW parents and grandma? Dead. I'm the only one left, and refuse to subject my own son to this level of abuse.

  I never got to see a baseball or football game there. SAD. Been to the new stadiums, Pittsburgh and Baltimore as well. I prefer Pittsburgh out over any of the rest. Camden Yards was nice when it was built.

  Is New Zealand right to ban military style guns?

  in response to the recent terrorist attack in new zealand their government is proposing to ban semi automatic and military style weaponry.. do you agree with this idea?.

  would they be  better off allowing more of these weapons instead?.

  would it be better to perhaps allow more of the muslim community for example, to be armed with semi automatic guns to protect themselves at their places of worship?.

  Sometimes personal rights need to be mitigated by personal responsibilities and acting for the greater good.

  ^ When personal rights and freedoms are removed under the guise of doing it for the "greater good", then you are on the downhill slide to not just Socialism, but Communism and tyranny. This is how ALL tyrannies and dictatorships have started out. Good luck with that.

  The idea that armed civilians could resist real military is ridiculous. Even if you ignore dropping mortars or an airstrike on the house of someone resisting, or just lighting it up with a 50 calibre will solve the military issue, just shooting everyone in the first town that resists handing in firearms works. People will then report anyone not handing in firearms. It's happened before.

  ^ That right there? Pure bullshit. Sure, it's happened, in Nazi Germany perhaps. For damn sure, AMERICANS would not up and "roll over" like this, or like they are currently in Australia and New Zealand. Would NEVER happen. One, most of the military back the Constitution, not some new bullshit laws enacted during a period of fear. They'd refuse to do this to their own country. Two, any open attack like this on an American town would be immediately reported on, and everyone else would immediately rise up and arm themselves for an all-out assault and Civil War. This nation was built upon Revolution and rising up against oppression. The rest of the world seems to see as barbarians. American's see the rest of the (non-Democratic, non-free) world as an enslaved, pacifist, pussified, SUBJECTS of their Hierarchy governments who tax them nearly to death and "allow them" to have very basic "privileges" instead of rights. Keep that shit in your own safe-spaces. You like living like that? Be my guest.

  Is this a political forum now? I thought this was about ex-JW's?

  I've seen the live-feed video.

  I've read the guy's manifesto, IN FULL, in context.

  The Government of NZ should read it. They are playing and caving right into what he said would happen. (Duh!)

  Unarmed citizens are no longer citizens, they are Subjects and Sheeple.

  Glad I'm not under the Queen's umbrella of slavery.

  Any such attempt here in the Colonies (USA) will result in another Civil War, and our own military will be on the People's side. The unarmed side? I thought they were moving to Canada already? They can GTFO and stay out. Take the entitlement minded mooching illegal immigrants with you.

  The Fading Loop Hole

  my father in law (robert stillman) killed himself in 1993. after the "new light" came out in 1981 we could no longer have limited contact with dis-fellowedshipped persons.

  after years of being shunned by his only family he blow his brains out with a 38 special.

  at the time of his death, the only thing bob was doing that wasn’t in line with the society’s rules and regulations was smoking.

  as the clock ticks down, i just wish our politicians would get on with it.

  i think teresa may has had a bitch of a job in the last couple of years and wish her well.

  as a once labour supporter i could not under any circumstance support them again under jeremy corbyn and diane abbot.. i voted out, and do still have hope that the uk will prosper free of europe.

  I've heard of this, but honestly haven't kept up. (American, sorry)

  The UE sounds like a good idea, but I feel each country should retain it's own individuality and ability to govern itself and not have to pander to some sort of "group think" mentality.

  I wish the UK and Europe well.

  as we get older , we tend to feel the aches and pains or some tiredness like never before.. i have some friends who are in excellent condition and i’ve asked what their secret was.. some swear by cbd oil as a cure all for aches and localized pain.

  greek yogurt is a natural food that can attack gut fat as does taking probiotics.

  have you found anything that makes you more energized?

  A large unkept fat woman. I keep envisioning the fat mother in "What's eating Gilbert Grape."
