  Headline: "Islamic Invasion: Europe now scrambles for guns." How true is this?

  by cappytan in

  a year to a year and a half ago, i would have taken this article at face value and believed it.. now, i realize this article comes from a dubious source.

  world news daily has a die-hard right-wing bias.

  so, in an effort to get real information, i'm asking my european exjw's, is this article all true?

  The Syrian refugees flee from terror and war.

  It is obvious that no one can live a decent life in this hell of a war. Any normal person in such a situation would do anything possible to flee from such a place.

  Many people in Germany are extremely helpful and many volunteer to help those refugees.

  Germany and Sweden take most of the refugees in an unprecedented humanitarian effort. All my respect to them. I think all of us living in this area must do what we could to help those refugees. We can't let them freeze to death on fields in eastern europe.

  In general, people in Europe know exactly, that weapons or firearms are no protection at all from crime and terrorism.

  I am proud of this and the fact that human rights and the "pussified" pascifism is the heart of european society.

  In my company (Swiss Railways) I am happy to see that there are a lot of foreigners and also muslim colleagues. To commit an act of terrorism would not cross their minds because they enjoy this free society based on human rights more than islamic fundamentalism.

  things you dont hear: Protest against Jehovah's Witnesses event in central Israel turns violent

  it funny how the cult will imbelish on somethings and others they just sweep under the rug and you never hear anything about it again.

  i was just doing some searches on the internet and stumbled on this.

  i had heard that the dub's were trying to get people to go to israel and then you never hear anything after that.

  "Any Jew who leaves Judaism becomes a Jew killer."

  The people who protested are not a bit better than the JWs.

  Why is it for JWs and for all the other religious fundamentalists so difficult to understand that one who leaves a religion is not a lesser person?

  Is Lying a Disfellowshipping offence?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  2. beliefs

  so, if lying or being deliberately misleading is a "disfellowshipping" offence, why haven't the brothers who lied to the australian royal commission been brought before a judicial committee?

  ?.

  Just imagine that Jackson, Spinks etc are sitting in their Judicial Committees for lying or "bearing false witness" in their Royal Commission testimonies.

  I know it's just a dream.

  "Deliberate, malicious lying, bearing false witness."

  This is a df offense, according to the elders book page 67.

  by adjusted knowledge in

  2. friends

  since this will be the norm in america, perhaps we should put a date on each of these topics.

  can't really put school mass shooting because too many to choose from.

  Rub a Dub

  So you need guns everywhere.

  Do you need guns in Kindergarten?

  Do you need guns for 2 year olds?

  Oh wait a minute. Not too long ago there were some 2 year olds who killed their mama or their brother because of playing with a gun.

  But wait a moment....

  You wrote very well.

  I doubt that you will ever get an answer.

  I sent them letters too. I got an answer to a letter I wrote about proof that human life is older than 6000 years.

  They brought up young earth creationists reasoning and that we have to trust the bible. Basically they said that the global flood changed everything and that all dating methods are not reliable for dates older than 4300 years.

  I also mentioned ice core data and dendrochronology.

  They didn't even try to refute these.

  I also recently got divorced.

  The only advice I can give you. Don't concentrate on these matters that he does in his personal life now. As you are separated or divorced concentrate on YOUR life and things that make YOU AND YOUR GIRLS happy. Don't feel miserable about the things he does in his life, because this is not your life anymore.

  Maybe with time passing you can at least be friendly to each other.

  I would say be happy that he could leave the jw thinking and that he can enjoy his life outside of the watchtower. This way your girls can also benefit as they can spend time with a happy dad and that they will not be indoctrinated when they are with him.

  Why didn't he act like that when he was with you?

  Maybe because like you he was also a Watchtower victim.

  But the most important advice I can give you. In front of your girls speak positive about their father and strengthen their bond with him.
