Does Anybody Here Sympathize With The Looters That Cause Destruction?
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
i realize some here are diehard democrats.

whether you are democrat, republican or independent, do you support any of these looters that cause mayhem and destruction for their cause?

i have heard some people sympathize with these law breakers saying they understand why they do what they do and leave it at that.. of course i wonder how they would feel if their own property was burnt or stolen or destroyed..

I don't get it - Marriage in WT world
by menrov in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
in wt world, a marriage is only seen (considered) as legal if it is registered in the municipality (or similar governmental organisation).

now, if you look at the scriptures, there was no requirement to have a marriage legally registered in order to be considered married.

is it not strange that the wt subjects themselves to and adopts an worldly arrangement setup but governments rules by satan when it comes to a marital status?.

Do You Think the Federalist System in the US Gives States too Much Power?
by RubaDub in
1. jw
2. friends
as time goes on, i keep rethinking this whole thing about states' rights here in the us.

the more i think about it, i think less states' power may be a way to reduce some of the craziness going on.. as mentioned on another thread, you can't even drive now into some states without them checking your license tag where you are from so you have have to be quarantined.

states such as georgia are pretty much wide open.
