  Why Did Obama win the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009?

  by JW_Researcher in

  while even non-peaceful people have been awarded the peace prize (e.g.

  arafat, kissinger), i am confused as to how obama could possibly have won the award one year after being the first term junior senator from illinois with zero “peace” experience (other than his ‘well-articulated’ rhetoric)..

  reading the obama-pining on a couple of posts made me reexamine my view of barry’s presidency..

  just talked to my pimi mom about this special, of course she saw it advertised, but didn’t watch it.

  she told me those programs are “ apostate lies.” i asked her if people magazine is apostate.

  she said no, but the one who wrote the article is.

  I attended BOTH of the Congregations mentioned in Part II. I grew up around those families as well.

  I can confirm: These are NOT lies, and also they are the tip of the iceberg in this area.

  Your mother is a brainwashed cultist.

  @shepherdless

  And we in American, can't believe how a supposedly FREE 1st World Country like yourself, would allow itself to be disarmed because of the actions of (1) madman who went on a killing spree in 1996. So apparently, the majority in your country, had to pay the price for a very small minority actions? You truly are "Subjects" now, whereas we are Citizens!

  If you don't know the difference, Subjects answer to their Government. Citizens answer to no one, and in fact the Government answers to them. Enjoy kissing the Queen Mum's ass whenever she decides to grace you with her presence. Until then, keep paying out your dues!

  Mike Bloomberg's expressed stated campaign slogan, that he himself trumpets from the podium:

  "I am running to defeat Donald Trump!!!"

  If Bloomberg steps in and wins, the USA is doomed.

  How Many Here Remember Hearing Details from the Platform on Why a Person was Reproved or DF'd ???

  by RubaDub in

  2. experiences

  i just had this flashback when commenting on another thread about how they used to announce reproof or dfing from the platform.

  at least in our congregation, it was a dramatic event (this is what i can remember from back in the mid-late 60's or early 70's when i was a kid).. at the end of the service meeting, just before singing the final song, the brother would announce, "we have a letter that must be read.

  the "congregation servant" (my grandfather or later my father) would then slowly walk from the back of the kh to the platform.

  They ended this in the late 70's, early 80's.

  2. friends

  details and more information on 2020 warwick protest.has your involvement with the jehovah's witnesses caused you harm?

  has your life been impaired because of the policies and false teachings of the watchtower organization?.

  many people have been "touched by the tentacles of the watchtower" not only baptized jehovah's witnesses but also friends, relatives ,spouses who never were jehovah's witnesses had to put up with their ill-advised foolishness.. for all of those who have been “touched by tentacles of the watchtower” you can now do something that can adversely disrupt this corrupt organization.. here is your chance to stand in front of the world headquarters of jehovah’s witnesses holding a sign bringing to light your grievances with the watchtower.

  "Touched by Tentacles of the Watchtower”

  AKA: Rick FEARon the WT plant! The stereotypical Apostate nutcase that the WatchTower cult has wet dreams about, probably because he is their creation!

  by Witness 007 in

  2. experiences

  i was balding and grey so i asked my witness barber friend to "just shave it all off" many brothers were doing the comb over which looked friggin stupid.

  but oh no in the 1990's this was rebellious he had to call a brother we knew at bethel to see if it was ok. we got his ok to go ahead but at the time i could help thinking about the no beard rule and how controlled and cultish we were..

  Did your barber call Bethel to see which way to wipe his ass as well, and with which hand? Ridiculous in the extreme.

  Middle class elders and pioneering children

  by Steel in

  2. experiences

  i was looking at my hall the other day some of the upper elders who are retired now have had some pretty good jobs and lives of relative comfort.

  i am not exactly sure what the education levels were but they were white collar.

  most likely started in a world where you didn’t need a lot of education to get a head.

  A college degree is still NOT needed to make a GOOD living in the United States. I'm a mechanical designer at a mechanical contracting firm. The men in the field that do service and installation (trades: HVAC, pipefitting, controls, electrical) make more money than me!!!!! None have anything beyond high school vocational school and Journeyman / Apprenticeships. They make fantastic money, and I almost regret switching from electrical to drafting in high school.

  There is in fact a shortage of people for the major trades in the USA. A high school friend of mine, her son just graduated from high school, and then took a welding course. He's so in demand with her certs (vessel and stainless steel) that he can basically PICK his own assignments! Starting salary: $70,000/ yr. I know of other welders with a few years under their belts making $100,000-$120,000 / yr. I'm 40, but am honestly considering a career change.

  Kids today are lazy AF, glued to their phones, and have been sold this illusion that college = high pay, good job. What they really get is a usually some bullshit degree from a liberal arts school that cost $150,000 and isn't worth wiping your ass with. Even the ones I see in my own field (architecture, HVAC, Refrigeration, plumbing) can barely use AutoCAD much less the more advanced REVIT. Dumber than a box of rocks, and arrogant on top of that and like they are owed something for merely showing up for work.

  Just me experience.
