  The state has power, but not to protect its citizen.

  The power of the state is derived from the citizens. It seems that German state is incapable to protects its citizens, but also is willing to suppress its citizenry. The suppression of the demonstrations became German's international embarrassment and causes as a rift between EU members countries. Hosing down demonstrators will not scare nor end enraged citizens. Pegida is organizing demonstrations for months, so they will not be stopped by this incident. The next move for Merkel's democracy would be total suppression of the opposition, and starting with mass arrests of Germans citizens. I wonder if this will be move from water cannons to armored vehicles by summer and declaration of some kind of state of emergency.

  It is obvious that Germany is not handling situation well and is heading to disaster. Now when people are demonstrating, the liberal German government decided to use water cannons against its tax paying citizens. Where were the police on 12/31 - 1/1 when hundreds of German women were molested. German democracy in action:
  

  Something like this did communists in the 1967-1969 in Czechoslovakia, and when this did not work, they were using tanks and sharp ammo. In 1988-1989 I was hosed by water cannon in downtown of Prague. It is the end of Merkel's multi-culti Germany? Is this what people want? Civil disobedience and riots? Was it worth it to bring 1 million illegals into that country? Where are these apologists from last summer and fall who said that Germany is handling the situation nicely and all these refugees are so great. I do not see them posting on it anymore.

  That woman sounds like my mom. She would not let her self bullied either. What it seems the woman of the 1940 without much had to say in the KH became a history.

  Prologos & macys. What I have find extremely disturbing is the government push to suppress the news and if this become an outcry, the elected officials blames victims: cologne mayor. This issue will not go away and there is already as information from Austria, Germany, Sweden, Finland, and Netherlands became a public knowledge globally. What everyone will see that the state is weak and someone will be routed out at the election.

  Originally the media refused to report the crime

  This the same issue had happened with the mass sexual harassments now reported in dozen German (Koln, Hamburg,Hannover,..) and Austrian cities (Salzburg and Vienna). The news from this event were already available on January 1 due extensive reporting on social websites. International news picked up the day after. It was after the global knowledge of the event, when German decided to report the events on their media. And still there is a push to minimize the attacks and even blame women. Mayor of Koln has not shame. What will happen when warmer days arrive and German women are not dressed warmly? Will it became a norm as it happened in Sweden?

  Women in this Org are looking for a Father Figure

  this is a rant mainly in response to my wife's reaction to the stupid clam meeting last night.

  bear in mind, while i am not sexist, i am also not politically correct.

  .... it is no secret that the women in this organization outnumber the men.

  In my KH we had several extremely independent-minded women, who are also very dominant. Some of them were very likable for their strong personality, getting things done, and were like den mothers to others. And they were also kind to children. I think this was phenomena for women in Eastern Europe where many men died too early, and they had to run households alone.

  I also seen women who were single and available after Armageddon. They dedicated everything to WT and obeyed without any question. Whatever elder or overseer told them was definitive and authoritative. There was never independent thinking.

  In school in Europe we were taught in six political spectra:

  1. Liberal-left (Green parties)
     
  2. Liberal-right (Social liberals)
     
  3. Conservative-Left (Social Democrats)
     
  4. Conservative-Right (Christian & Catholic parties)
     
  5. Extreme Left (Communists)
     
  6. Extreme Right (Fascists)

  This model does not work in USA where Democrats would be considered conservative right in Europe and Republicans as an extreme right. However, it describes system in many countries in Central Europe (Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, and probably more. Nonetheless,political parties often shift and create a coalition but with the exception of extreme parties, they tend to move to the center. Some parties shift their position as did Democrats and Republicans in the past 150 years. Catholic parties were originally traditionalist, but cared for social issues, education, and vocal opponent of banking cartels in the 19th century to become one the most conservative element in Central Europe with a catastrophic outcome later in WWII as Clerical fascism (Tiso Slovakia and Ustache Croatia). Either way, political system is not set in stone and continues to develop based on the social, economic, and demographic condition in the country.

  Is the Watchtower organisation facing the biggest crisis of its history?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  recent developments make me think they might be.

  the problems they are facing are not just lack of funds but also draining authority, and the two could be a heady and explosive mix.

  one of the best analyses ever written of the watchtower was a book called "trumpet of prophecy" by sociologist james beckford in the 1970s.

  I will agree with JWFacts. I do not think they are in the biggest crisis. They are experience economic readjustment driven by demographic change and rise of the mobile media over publishing. This mean that business model of Knorr became obsolete and it does not requires as many branches and facilities. All can be done remotely and this is sufficient to get things done from handful facilities around the globe to save shipping and transportation costs.

  In former eastern block, the division between left and right is far more complicated. While communist party and its posthumous transformations are easy to identifiable, the right parties are hard to identify. In last ten years, Hungary came with name neofeudalism to identify the political system that was forming after 1989. It is not a system with left and right parties, but society dominated by oligarchy like medieval magnates and masses of poor people left to fend for themselves.

  Coalize, I see it that Europe went through right, liberal-oriented economic policy with limited unions, privatization, and wider deregulation of markets. On the other hands, its political system is very left-oriented, anti-conservative, with goal destroying nation-states and socially re-engineering the Continent through multiculturalism. The outcome of these two policies in this decade lead to widespread social, economic, and political decline of Europe in every aspect of life. Unemployment for younger people created a generation that will not be able to acquire proper work-related ethics and will push them into lasting poverty.

  The traditional view of the Left as known through Marx-Leninism is thing of the past. The left does not talk about nationalization, classless society, and revolution of the proletariat. However, it does not mean, that the left had disappeared. The right oriented parties and ideology is also bankrupted. The outcome is political apathy and low participation in the democratic system.
