And joined your ranks.... this means...youre talking about a people, that currently are pushing no sex till marriage. that would end and join into the messages you currently push regarding youths and sex. that would be sex, with condoms. Sex changes in youths. Abortions, or debating abortions.
Regading war, they would instead, join the armies, and add to whatever death and mayhem such armies cause worldwide.
regarding voting, nothing would change, because most people in the usa dont vote. there are not enough of them in the usa to matter in that regard on a national model due to electorial college rules.
regarding transfusions? whatever technologies worldwide, would not have the same push, because truthfully, Jws are not the only ones interested in non blood, but certainly have caused the biggest noise. Blood comes almost free to bloodbanks. and gets transfused with a whopping bill. Dont fool yourself in thinking the 'for profit' USA healthcare people would not rather use the low cost blood instead of the technology driven alternate medicine efforts that have blanketed the entire planet at this point.
Civil rights? You think Martin Luther King has done things for civil rights? I have 3 words..."I cant breath". black people have come virtually nowhere, when matched against the fast moving "gay rights" movements regarding rights and how fast rights have been shown them. Blacks enter court rooms and regardless of overwhelming evidence in their favor? they are still railroaded.
Civil rights and Jws are not unknown. the cases they win lead to rights many of you now enjoy. But such things require ongoing battling, as you see with black rights. because people will continue to do whatever they want regarding civil injustice.....that is, unless youw ant to push for a moral free right, like a new nudist camp or gay marriage or something. Remove jw? and the religious civil rights cases they won which you benefit from? stops.
remove jws? and they join you in whatever the common behavior would be. So for the black community, thats going to be the things we see in it...increasing proportionately. And the white community? same thing.
the common man, is not some 4 year college grad, with a big home. the common stats of people in the USA? is low income. google it. Jws tend not to be high income anyhow. So that wouldnt change. they WOULD however increase holiday sales. And join you in drinking and getting high. becausse right now, they dont.
the point is....if you feel jws are horrible fine. But I need to know, who you plan on being a voice saying in a community things like "maybe abstinence is better". Or "maybe you shouldnt join wars". or "perhaps you should get married instead of shacking up and having kid after kid".
Because right now your churches are not making much of an impact. those jws that you hate? even if they fail trying, are at least trying. Your church? is not. if they are? post links. And then post them in 600 languages.
