  You better watch who you offend. One of us might rat you out to the Dark Lords. Because you aren't supposed to be here.

  January 25, 2017: Trump's executive order on immigration includes a plan to publish a weekly list of crimes committed by 'aliens'

  Yet numerous studies indicate that immigrants are far less likely to commit crimes or be incarcerated than US citizens. One such article in the Economist (a widely respected and empirical source) illustrates:

  http://www.economist.com/blogs/democracyinamerica/2015/07/immigrationandcrime Fox News is proud of their child, I am certain. As I've pointed out. FoxNews posts these stories on an almost daily basis. Anytime an immigrant in anywhere US so much as runs a red light Fox runs a headline about it. This is disturbing. These are the same types of actions taken by people such as Adolph Hitler and Joseph Stalin to justify genocide. If he actually posts these accounts, it will be a matter of days before some dummfukk, semi retarded redneck assaults or kills an innocent immigrant. They operate on about 1/100th of their emotional and cranial abilities as it is; a slight nudge from their master . . . .

  Russia to liquidate Jehovah's Witnesses' organization

  I agree in principle with Nicolau. Having said that, religious divisiveness has been the primary cause of bloodshed, class distinction, gender, racial, orientation and cultural discrimination for thousands of years. Religions have been very slow to evolve because of the very reason the Russian anti-extremist laws were developed: Most religions think, teach and act that they are the only true religion, and they have, for thousands of years, been behind the chaos that is humanity. Russian laws seek to move that evolutionary process up. A lot.

  The Dubs would not be in this situation of the DarkLords had immediately, in 2002 and especially in 2007, removed all literature that violated the law from their homes, KHs and that they distributed and stopped preaching that they alone were the only true religion and all others would soon be destroyed. The old men in Brooklyn were delusional and arrogant in thinking they could skirt the laws.
  

  There isn't anything wrong with the laws. Draconian methods to enforce them will ultimately prove counter productive. But I don't think Vlad and his Impalers will get into that trap. They will take the stance that the Dubs are free to practice their religion as long as it follows law. And if the Dubs do get banned, the likely route for removing the ban is to completely disavow Precious - that they are alone in getting god's favor, communication, and that they alone will survive the End Time and all other religions and the world itself is under Satan's control. Gollum followed Frodo's bitten off finger and the Ring into the Fires of Mordor rather than relinquish Precious. Do any of us think the DarkLords will not do likewise? To disavow Precious will set a precedent that will be used in all other countries.
  

  Yes, what a fine pickle the DarkLords are in. Between a rock and a hard place, the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea.
  

  And that is most excellent.
  

  Vlad and his Impalers won't likely kill anyone, and they will avoid prison sentences. They will put missionaries and other dubs who weren't born there on the next boat back from where they came, fine individual dubs and middle level dubs for violations and as noted take ownership of select physical assets.
  

  All the cards are held by Vlad and his Impalers. Do not weep for the DarkLords or the DarkTower. Their arrogance caused all of this.

  What's preventing YOU from stopping meeting attendance?

  by nicolaou in

  2. experiences

  we all 'exit' in our own way and at our own pace but i'm curious, why carry on stuffing yourself into that stiff suit and tie or meeting dress years after you realised the truth about 'the truth'?.

  they kept you a prisoner, what's stopping you from leaving now that you have the key to your own cell?.

  loved ones?

  I will only believe in demons if...

  by deegee in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jws are known to have an obsession and preoccupation with demons.. this obsession and preoccupation is not without merit given that jesus, his disciples/apostles, and the general public of 1st century ce judea and galilee are reported as believing in the existence of demonic spirits and in the possibility of demon possession of an individual.. exorcism formed a large part of jesus' ministry on earth.

  the gospels and the book of acts describe many exorcisms where jesus and his disciples release people from demonic possession.. ___ .

  but how do demons get inside a person's brain or body?

  Morality Without Deity

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one of the most persistent arguments for belief in god centres on the necessity of an ultimate law-giver and epitome of goodness.. a softer version is seen in the genuine concern that a loss of faith will result in a corresponding loss of a moral compass - a more strident argument links the existence of good and evil with proof of the reality of god.

  it is often asserted that without god, moral decisions degenerate to nothing more than personal preferences and the victory of "might is right".. i want to succinctly lay out my response as an atheist, and show that a supreme being is not required for objective morality.. it is helpful to distinguish between absolute morality, objective morality and subjective morality.

  christian apologists frequently conflate the first two, and secular debaters often fail to point out the difference.. theists who disagree on everything else, are unanimous that god is perfectly good.

  Cofty,

  Nice OP, though I am glad the constant stream of x-tians who used to come on this site and state that atheists were immoral baby killers because without god they couldn't behave has subsided.

  We still get them occasionally but when I joined 3 1/2 years ago it was a weekly thing. Numerous studies suggest a strong correlation between intelligence and atheism as well as intelligence and functionality (see Albert above). Apparently smart people figure out how to behave without the need for a god.

  That x-tians and religionists can't figure that out slays me. But I suppose it shouldn't; numerous studies show a strong correlation between stupid people and religiosity, with a very strong correlation between evangelicals and dim-wittednees.

  Young People Ask: I’m Attracted to the Same Sex—Does That Mean I’m Gay?

  A 2009 study by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unwanted Pregnancy found that 80% of teen evangelicals had sex before marriage, which wasn't much lower the the 88% overall who had sex before marriage.

  Apparently WWJD isn't keeping Megan and Jared from getting horizontal. Or Megan and Kristen or Jared and Jacob.

  Moralizing that millions maintain their chastity ignores the fact that what consenting adults do is none of anyone's business and the vast majority will do what comes naturally. With or without Daddy's Lil Monster looking over their shoulders.

  So if gays exercise self control like everyone else then they are having the times of their lives.
