I don't think he will do any of the real work of being president. This is just a business opportunity for him; he's already making deals and mixing his business with national activities - Japan meeting right after election. If the GOP can get what they want done, which they will, they don't care what he does. He may not be Putin's puppet but doesn't mean he isn't a puppet! I think the mid term elections will be interesting. If he alienates the public, could bring an unpredictable result. Could be that Pence and Ryan run the country. Frightening.

57Will Donald Trump Be Impeached Before His Term Ends?
by Brokeback Watchtower ini'm thinking his willful failure to be briefed by the cia about russian election tampering and not understanding diplomatic protocall.
making off handed statements without proper research about the mater.
he's an outsider when it comes to running the government that will make big mistakes at every turn because he seems clueless when it comes to running a government.. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/michael-moore-predicts-trump-impeach-resign_us_58261464e4b0c4b63b0c6dee.

question from readers: with all the animal sacrifices, wouldnt the temple smell worse than a stockyard?
by nowwhat? inwith all the cattle, sheep and others wouldn't they be shitting and peeing all over the place?
along with the gallons and gallons of blood being drained and then the flesh being burned as well.
wouldn't the stench be unbearable?.

This goes back to the early 1070s, central PA, maybe DuBois. George Dobas, not sure of spelling, was removed and a good chunk of the congregation followed him. He gave the public talk every Sunday (except when a rare traveling speaker was allowed to visit), conducted the WT study, and took over the ministry school and service meeting. I'd moved to PA to pioneer and felt it was creepy that he had such huge parts on circuit assemblies. He always had a gaggle of young people around him. He led much of the singing, too. Really strange and creepy. Someone contacted Brooklyn and a group was sent in. It shook the entire circuit.

If a JW Came To Your Door How Would You Handle It?
by minimus injehovah's witnesses have never come to my door but they have come to my girlfriends door.
i have coached her as to what to say or ask but it appears that they always seem to come when she's not there.
.....just curious would you get into it with a jehovah's witness at your door especially if it was someone you did not know?.

I say one polite word, No, and close the door. No slamming, no ammunition to them, just a polite no. They really don't know what to do with it!

Does anyone know what this is?
by Tameria2001 inyesterday my sister cut her foot on a piece of metal that was sticking out of my yard.
i've lived in my home for almost 8 years now, and well i'm guessing this thing must have worked it's way up to the surface or something, never seen this thing before.
i started to dig it up, and the thing just kept getting bigger and bigger.

I'm with stuckinarut2. It helps that I'm currently watching Timeless. I'll withhold judgement on the show.

I've been out of the org for decades and once in a great, great while it happens to me. I just immediately replace it with something else.

I had the same feeling when I watched my eldest get baptized at about 15. My heart just sank and I was awakened to how many doubts I had. Just when he was entering a time when normal teens question, act out, and seek their independence, he would be disfellowshiped for those normal actions and I would have to shun him! That was never going to happen, I knew it in my very being. Fortunately, we all got out, not without initial guilt and loss.
And I have to make a comment about the term "wifey." I happen to personally find it demeaning and condescending and hope something more dignified can be found so describe wives!

Counting time
by Emma ini may not have put this in the correct spot, but i do think it's scandalous the way time gets counted now.
i've seen a cart at the edge of our farmer's market, never anyone close enough to talk.
yesterday was a drizzly day and there were two carts set up, covered in plastic, "witnessing" on their own.

NewYork 44M, "I, on the other hand, am jealous. Why did I not think of that trick when I was trying to "get my time in."
I know, I was such a diligent pioneer. It was impossible for me to keep it up. How about just taping mags in the window and count time endlessly.
