the us elections suck up all the attention (and it's not even at the candidate selection stage!
) but canada actually has a national election today.. first results are starting to come in and so far it's all liberal party.. i think it's time harper and the conservatives got the boot.
last premiere from the bush era.
omg, I can't believe it OC! Just checked CBC and ALL of eastern Canada is Red. I know a lot of NDP people who planned to vote Liberal, for fear that the West would carry Harper, and voting NDP would split the vote. HOLY SMOKE.
Let's hope it's a majority gov't, because if it's not, there will be WAR in Parliament. hahaha!
So, it's been a slice, but I only get 5 posts per day, so I'm outta here.

For the Provincial and Federal elections, I work the polls. The early polls were flooded. They weren't prepared, and I got called in to work 4 extra days, on the first afternoon. It was crazy busy.
I just got home from counting the votes at the polling station I worked here in Eastern Canada, and our polling station was a very close race between the NDP incumbent and the Liberal challenger. PC only got about 5% of the vote. The Greens and Marxist-Leninist parties got 1-2%. Factor in that there are a lot of seniors and students at this station, and the Trudeau factor is HUGE.
I don't have TV, but am thinking that CBC probably has a live stream online, so I'm gonna go check now.
I haven't read the whole thread, and will do so now,,,,,, is Newfoundland Blue or Red? haha, our returns are probably on TV! must ... check it out!

*this has been a non-partisan report from the front lines* haha, I love Election Day! can ya tell, I get so wound.. drinking a hot cocoa to relax.
Still voting out west, and our polls have been closed for almost 3 hours --- what a country. : ))
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?

KateWild - It's all a sham and dependent on your status with the elders
Katewild. Perfect statement to describe a JC. It is who you know, your status and which family you belong to.
Precisely! And coming from a 'status' family can work to your disadvantage, if your family wants to make an example of you.
okay, okay, okay - i know we're not supposed to jump to conclusions.
but the odds this is a "naturally occurring event" are pretty low.
and it's just the sort of megastructure we would expect an advanced alien civilization (type 2) to build.
in short:- tight pants is no longer just a am3 hang up (or is that a hang up on the well hung?
)- brothers who have effeminate body language are flagged up- as are sisters with 'masculine' hair styles or dress- such dress is 'disturbing to the congregation'- the above must heed the (repeated) counsel from the elders...or they get stripped of the right to share on the ministry- however...this will not be revealed (announced) to the congregation.
wow.
Over on JW Survey, there's a great leak regarding tight pants from a new CO outline for their meeting with the elders during congregation visits. This is once the MS have left the meeting.
Is this an actual, verifiable document?

lately my mental health has been rapidly declining.
i have anorexia and deppression, and my anxiety has become overwhelming.
i have been to many doctors/therapists in the past, but because i have not been magically cured my parents dont want to get me any more help.
Hi, Black Wolf!
One thing that a therapist suggested was - whatever you find you CAN eat. With me, it was food in general, not calorie-counting or a desire to be thin -- but I think, in my depression and hopelessness, I was starving myself. One thing I could always eat, was a handful of potato chips. If nothing else, it gave my stomach something - instead of just acid. And the salt was helpful, to settle the tummy, and sometimes I could choke down other food.
Do the best you can, and if there is a food you can eat, ANYTHING is better than nothing. I wish I could help you out, hmmm.
So you are home-schooled? No wonder you are having problems with food ,,, it's the only 'control' you have in your life! Try to eat what you can, and remember, that your parents will not control your life forever. There's a lot of living to be done once you are old enough to determine your own life. Do what you can to say healthy, so that when you make your escape, you will be strong!
You can do this, you CAN.

thank you all for your sincere encouragement during these last few weeks.
finally, she is at peace.
i was with her , holding her hand when she died.
I'm so very sorry for your profound loss, Minimus. I'm happy you stuck together. As the grief eases, you will have those memories to cherish forever. xoxo
so now that most of us have come to a semi truthful understanding that the witnesses are wrong about evolutionist, there is a certain question that i have always had.
now if you were to ask any jw, they'd recite a complete fallacy from scientist regarding this.
but what is you guys input of this.
I love math, too. And yes, that's why it begins as a seemingly rigid science, and then it becomes even more, science and art, as you advance past the equations and enter a new place of reasoning. One which requires imagination, and the ability to conceptualize in 3-D, not just the formulae on paper.
The gifted mathematician, like many scientists, can often be described as having her/his head in the clouds

For the super rich and powerful (and those who feed off their decadence), world hunger is not a dilemma, nor is human trafficking, breeding big cats for the pleasure of human hunters, torture, and any number of things..........
So, no, it won't be a dilemma. Those who can afford these, will have them - just as they now have human sex slaves. Let's not be naive. *shrugs*
genghis khan: the leader of an empire twice the size of alexander the greats greek empire and four times that of the roman empire.
stretching from china to russia.
brutal and yet also revolutionary in its law making and society.
Are you thinking of the World Powers and the Revelation book as interpreted by (mostly) the JWS and (some) other fundamentalist religions?
It kinda makes sense, because these 'newer' religions were mostly formed in the USA, the mythological explanations seem to revolve around their own ancestors and religions, so the Mongols just didn't figure in. It's too far away, too 'foreign' to American culture, to have been incorporated into the Western system of myth as one of the 'world powers'. The Mongols, who are they? Oh, wasn't he some big warrior dude? Or was that Star Trek? KHA-A-A-NNNN!
