  Of course it is the end of Western Civilization as we know it. Europe is dying and decaying. As ex-European, I am amused and amazed how f.ed this Continent is every time I go there. Just comparing gas prices, choices of goods in the stores in relationship to USA, prices of almost all consumer products, tiny housing, dilapidated roads-cities-infrastructure-factories. And Europeans do not care! They just want to have a good time even when living standard is declining and stagnating. 1/4 to 2/5 of European youth is unemployed; yet they go live with their welfare money in some 3rd world country and party like is no tomorrow. 2/3 of Germans never will own house, they will just continue to rent. Almost half of Europeans do not own car, because they cannot afford it; but they being brainwashed by green-party ideology that they are environmentally conscious. Europe must bankrupt and get on its knees so people can learn to work and taking care for themselves instead depending on state and welfare.

  I know I just sound too critical of Europe, but Europeans totally resigned on improving their society and economy in the past 25 years. This can only change, when the society is totally down, and they have to start from nothing like did Germans after 1945.

  it seems britain has voted to leave the eu in a move of total madness!

  the markets are already in free fall and the moronic bigots who campaigned for this are celebrating the demise of our country .. i can't see how a 49-51% split can be democratic?

  there is still the postal vote to come in, maybe there's hope in that?

  Question is how low the pound will go toward $$$. It is already in free fall, country has one of the largest indebtedness among European countries, and millions of Britons living EU taking advantage of Schengen and free movement.

  I can related to it. It was often due that my cousins were older by 10 years and I was automatically overlooked, so were my siblings. Generally, it was power structure, people at the apex and their offspring got the most attention. Once my cousins became elders, I got constantly compared by everyone to them. But I was never them, and never wanted to be. Also many guys came from big families. We had elder who had about six sons or so, so they stayed together, played together, and were judging everyone together. The exception was when they tried to date young, pretty women like my sister, and they felt that they are entitled to marry her.

  Why Are You Here?

  by Believer in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm wondering why believers remain members of this forum which is clearly hostile to believers.

  as one member said, nonbelievers pounce on any semblance of belief like piranhas on prey.

  as former jws we should have had our fill of judgmental know-it-alls, but here we are.

  i know that some people on the board have experience of being mormons, so i would be interested in your feedback.

  at church this afternoon it was an uncanny experience.

  in the past i've read a lot about mormons, so i thought i was prepared in general for what it would be like.

  My experience with Mormons are generally that they are racists, anti-semitic, and homophobic. Not all of them, but I noticed it in the presence of gay, black, and Jewish people. I had Mormon boss, and he was good, but again, there is a difference I observed when they dealt with a white guy and others.

  I am here with Lisa. I will be voting for Hillary, but I do not want her having a president. Possible Trump policy are far more disastrous for mankind. It is enough that Putin and China wants him to be a president. They know why. Trump will weaken NATO and American alliances, and would cede control of Eastern Europe back to Moscow. China is hoping to continue with bilateral trade which is one reason for economic imbalances in the world economy and benefits only handful of rich industrialists in USA while American workers suffer.

  Protest

  had a great turn out today protesting against the baptist minister who praised the orlando massacre.

  my best guess is there were around 1,200 of us there.

  it was an entirely peaceful protest as we chanted "love conquers hate" and "we are orlando".

  Nice job, but I believe it will have an opposite effect and this temple of hate will attract more followers.

  Proof that Daniel was written 400 years after the events it describes and how much it gets wrong

  by purrpurr in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i've been studying the bible anew and have just realised that the writer of daniel gets the kings of babylon completely wrong and confused.

  he says that nebuchadnezzar was succeeded by his son belshazzar .

  then along comes good old cyrus the great who liberates the jews.. yet this is wrong!

  The Book of Daniel is not located among the other prophetic books in the Hebrew Bible. It is found among the writings, like the books of Ruth, Samuel, and Kings.

  Daniel is not one of the Jewish prophets. We have an official list of men and women who were prophets to our people, and Daniel was not one of them.

  Absolutely correct. I was surprised it when my Jewish spouse and MIL explained to me that Daniel is not a prophet. It was good eye opening from WT indoctrination.

  Love is Greater than Hate

  this week has been a really difficult past couple of days.

  waking up to the news on sunday that some jihadist jackass had slaughtered so many of my lgbt brothers and sisters left me reeling and in tears.

  we're a community with common cause and a common struggle and it's immensely painful to see the loss of so many young and beautiful lives.

  I read about her that she was a mother of 12 and was very accepting of her gay son and took bullet for him. Very remarkable woman.
