Has Justin Trudeau Finally Eaten Too Many Tide Pods?

by freemindfade in

curious what the canadian take is on all this .

i also understand he compared islamic state terrorists to greek, vietnamese & italian migrants?

that one i haven't confirmed yet but sounds wacky if true.

Trudeau panders to his audience. This alleged joke was his attempt to win over a particular segment of society. It only became a 'joke' when he realized (or his staffers realized) it was not acceptable.

He will always include women, girls, LGBTQ2, and other special interests whether they are relevant to the conversation or not. I agree there are issues that need to be addressed with each of these groups but it is his apparent mandate to make everything somehow about these groups.

I prefer a leader that focuses on all of Society not just special interests. That said one group that deserves a lot more of his interest and passion are veterans. His focus on refugees versus those that made a country safe for refugees is despicable!

I was VERY impressed by the journalist's approach which is one of the reasons I agreed to be interviewed by her despite being an ex-JW is really no longer a part of who I am.

She did a great job on the article

Have you met anyone on the Governing Body?

i posted on another thread about a couple of my experiences of meeting the governing body while i was in brooklyn.

i wanted to see if anyone else had any experiences along these same lines.

i met most of the ones that were current during the 2001-2003 years.

I had a chance to meet Knorr, Jaracz multiple times (his wife was Canadian), Sydlik, Franz, Barr, Losche (before he was GB) had dinner with him and Jaracz in Poland (1989) and wine in his Bethel room while visiting their branch.

Franz was entertaining. The rest other than Sydlik were boring and unimpressive. The only point of agreement I had with Jaracz was his taste in scotch.

i'm having a debate with someone on facebook who claims he came up with the term "borg" in reference to the wts back in the mid 2000s.

however i'm certain the term was used on h2o as early as 1999 as well as here when this site was first set up.. can anyone confirm that i'm not dreaming?

what's the earliest you remember seeing the term being used?.

Uzzah

This is one reference I found from 2002. Definitely not "mid- 2000's"

I no longer have the 'Data' (ST-TNG pun intended) from H20 but as FD2 (H20 Forum Director 2), I can assure you the Borg, Borganization were terms used back in the day' at least as early as 1998

Ex-Wife of Canadian JW Attorney Speaks to NATIONAL POST about KIDNAPPING sick JW kids

by AndersonsInfo in

jwn poster, uzzah, posted a link to this article in one of his older posts which he brought to the top, but i think this excellent article deserves a thread of its own.

ScenicViewer. Dan had a temper and Police were called as a result of his violent behaviour towards others.

As an Elder and as a lawyer working for the 'elite' legal Dept, a blind eye happened. Glen How kept a protective blanket over Dan.

I don't know the specific details of this particular act of violence but it is not out of character and I would tend to believe the witness testimony of her daughter rather than the speculation of any anonymous Discussion Board persona. I knew Rinna when she was in her teens and was good friends of the family during my years at Bethel. Donna had her flaws like the rest of us but know her heart was huge as was her devotion to her family and her desire to help others. So too Dan had his issues including ego and temper but he was my friend for several years. Like so many Witnesses, he is misguided and delusional and unfortunately dangerous due to his legal activities defending the Borg.
