is there a way?
these madmen go into soft areas knowing they only will have firepower to inflict their damage.
i think people better start thinking ahead about what they can do to protect themselves..
I guess, executing the mass-shooters publicly (together with their family - if the first doesn't help much) would be a good start. Our medieval ancestors can tell quite a lot of interesting ways to perform that.
Another way is to have educated religion-free population everywhere and a society without injustice, but nah - that's a hard way...
How in the world can we allow guys like Breivik, for instance, return to the society after 20 years as if nothing has happened?
just wonderin' if anyone has heard of anything about something big going down in the borg?
good friend of mine just told me today that he will be attending a 4.5 day elder "training school" all nest week!
the "special" elder "schools" are usually only 2-3 days.. lots of dumbing down coming?.
I've not been to elders schools - only to the old MS schools. Another important part of those 'Kingdumb schools' used to be guilt-tripping.
i think a lot these days about people who train you to be obedient without telling you that's what they're doing.
the thought occurred to me that that could be part of the idea of regional conventions.
it's not like they present much of anything new to the audience, it's the same old talks year after year, the same old information, yeah, repackaged a little, different themes, different illustrations, but the same information, obey the faithful slave, armageddon is imminent, go door-to-door, the usual.
Firstly, the conventions R known to be money-makers for the Borg. Other than that, I can relate to my own old-days experience where the convention really gave some kind of 'encouragement', kind of 'charging a battery' until the next one. Not sure what was the psychology behind that - maybe it was due to higher quality talks than that of local brodas.
For the last years, it's mostly a WTF session - an expectation of a new low hit by the Borg.
i used to see them in my neighborhood or while driving.
there is a hispanic congregation nearby.
i used to see witnesses out all the time, some even doing the slow pioneer shuffle.
Actually, nothing has changed in terms of D2D officially - but the ever-increasing apathy and hypocrisy contributes to D2D becoming phantom.
three christian churches and three luxury hotels have been attacked in sri lanka this morning resulting in more than 130 deaths.. buddhism is the state religion in sri lanka accounting for 70% of the population, hindus make up 12% with islam and christianity comprising 9% and 7% respectively.
no group has yet claimed responsibility.
a civil war between government forces and separatist tamil tigers ended in 2009. the war lasted 26 years and cost at least 70,000 lives.
There is a strange attitude by western governments. When muslims are attacked it is "PROTECT THE MUSLIMS' When muslims attack others it is "PROTECT THE MUSLIMS " Strange
I guess the reason is super simple (and is the same reason why the borg quietly supported Russian terrorists in Eastern Ukraine) - it's just fear of the crazy guys with guns.
additionally - if this shunning rule was removed and everyone was made aware of the dirty secrets of the org.. (e.g.
csa-arc / un membership / malawi - mexico contrast / etc.).
would those leaving be higher?.
For those that stay it would most likely divide the congregations into two groups. The so called super strong ones and the so called weak ones. Then it would turn into another kind of Cult. One that not only hates those in the world but also hates one another in the congregation.In my experience, it's pretty much already like this.
I've never been under any kind of restrictions (apart from leaving the MS/pioneer 'privileges'), but I'm 90% ignored (unless someone needs smth. from me) by my congo which I still regularly attend for family reasons.
in the second round passes zelensky (~ 30%) after him poroshenko (~ 18%).

Dmitry,
Wouldn't it be better to find some sane diplomats that can actually negotiate and compromise for everyone's benefit?
Wouldn't it be better for Poland in 1939 to find some sane diplomats to negotiate with Hitler and Stalin for everyone's benefit?
my name is dmitry!
(i apologize for my english.
i am from ukraine and wanted to expand communication with exjw.. well, what about yourself?
@Dmitry - Welcome! You're not the only non-English speaker here. IMHO, the atmosphere here is way better than on FSB/KGB controlled Russian forums :)

Glory to Ukraine!
Слава Україні!
i loved mj's music back in the day.
i still have a couple of his songs on my work-out routine.
but, i am disturbed by the recent allegations of csa.
I don't know if the people featured as CSA survivors in "Leaving Neverland." tell the truth, but I hardly understand what's the purpose of coming our with accusations for a person who is 10 years dead already. Are they afraid he can molest children from the grave? Or is it that they just wanna get some money from his legacy?
Pursuing the dead in court sounds like a really weird idea to me. Almost as weird as the idea of creating a world-famous child amusement park at your own house (knowing you're being constantly watched by hundreds of journalists' cameras) to 'secretly' seduce children there (while at the same time caring about countless poor/sick children needs worldwide). Something doesn't add up here, IMHO.
Given the amount of money MJ possessed, he could afford getting children to molest in a much cheaper/easier way.
We really live in the sick world if people cannot even imagine a person genuinely loving children without a sexual context (no matter if MJ accusations are valid).
