  "Somebody" needs to do "Something!"

  by Terry in

  1. jw

  it's always unjustifiable for a country to attack another country without having first been attacked itself.. the nuremberg trials at the end of wwii made this clear.. more vividly too: following orders as a patriotic duty is never secondary to the pangs of your personal conscience.. .

  worst of all, hypocrisy destroys credibility when you.

  criticize other countries for doing what you have done.. .

  Terry

  Putin has already said he'd nuke the West if the West gets involved - he's made that quite clear.

  There's not much the West can do, apart from giving food, water and shelter to Ukrainian citizens, and giving sanctuary to refugees. That's about it.

  The West needs to stop poking its nose into other countries' wars.

  I'm sick of Boris Johnson postering on the international stage, claiming to care about Ukraine.

  FFS, he's the Prime Minister of the UK, not Ukraine. His top priority is to keep UK citizens safe, healthy and fed.

  Peak Cancel Culture

  by Simon in

  we seemed to have reached peak cancel-culture.

  now, we get to try to cancel the citizens of an entire country for something their government chose to do.. really, we can't allow russian individuals to compete in sports?

  to live a life?.

  More evidence of cancel culture/virtue-signalling:

  Sainsbury's supermarket has rebranded its Chicken Kiev as Chicken Kyiv (the latter is the Ukrainian spelling).

  No, I'm not shitting you

  lloyd evans has a livestream and must answer all questions.

  the only catch.

  you can only ask one question plus a follow up.. my fave so far is would you want your daughter to marry a man who was unfaithful every few months with prostitutes.. what would you ask him?.

  Yes Simon - your OP is spot on.

  Part of living in the real world is dealing with people you don't necessarily like.

  Punishing Russian people for the things Putin is doing is moronic.

  Russian athletes are innocent of what is going on in Ukraine in that they're not responsible for it.

  And re this current situation in Ukraine, everybody is going to have to get round a table and start peace talks and compromises - with Russia included at the table (i.e. Russia can't be 'cancelled' from such proceedings).

  Don't get me wrong, Putin is not a nice human being. But he's not going anywhere and neither are his yes-men colleagues who are also from the Soviet era.

  World War 3

  by Reservations in

  i’m calling it folks, world war 3 looks like it’s a done deal.. belarus has entered ukraine, and nato is involved heavily, just not “boots on the ground”.. will there be a nuclear exchange?

  i would have said no 5 days ago, now i’m not so sure.. how will this effect wt?

  probably more of the same fear mongering..

  It'd put it at 50-50 as to whether Putin presses the big red button.

  Putin rules by fear and force.

  He invaded Ukraine rather lightly at first, and mainly spared civilians in combat areas. He was hoping that the fear of an invading army would make the Ukrainians wave the white flag.

  This didn't work, the Ukrainians have fought back and dug in. So now Putin is bombing indiscriminately, rolling in thermobaric weapons and a 40-mile convoy of tanks. He's now using force, because the initial attempt at using fear didn't work.

  Putin has spoken about putting his nuclear weapons into 'combat mode'. He's also said that if the West impedes his military operations, they'll see something they've never seen in their history. This is a clear warning/threat, and an attempt at using fear.

  Disturbingly, our politicians have so far dismissed this.

  The longer our politicians cock a deaf 'un, the more Putin will consider the other option.

  Is it 'philist-EYE-n' or 'philist-EE-n'?

  Also, Arabs call the area 'falasTeen' (فلسطين) and they call the wider area of the Levant 'ash-shaam' (الشام).

  Are Jehovahs Witnesses a cult?

  by GoverningBody in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this question has been presented many times throughout the years.

  somewhat recently, there has been much talk surrounding the "bite method" :.

  "bite” stands for behavior, information, thought, and emotional control.. some examples were thrown at me, such as the decisions of who we associate with, discouraging any worldy media, encouraging our brothers and sisters to report any of our misbehaviours to the elders, our rejection of criticism on the truth, shunning etc.. what do we think about this?.

  Is The Watchtower a cult?

  Well, this religion matches quite a few points of what a cult is, from what I remember.

  Context is everything.

  You can call someone a 'monkey' and the context isn't racial abuse. You can't just hear or read the word monkey and screech 'racism!'

  I knew a JW who had relatives in the US and his cousin was mixed-race (although this JW I knew called his cousin 'black') and about 8 years old at the time.

  And my JW friend was fretting about calling him a 'monkey' - like: 'you cheeky little monkey'.

  Where I'm from, white kids like me were called monkeys. My mum and dad called me a cheeky monkey loads of times when I was little.

  One more time: CONTEXT IS EVERYTHING.

  Lloyd has just threatened to go after everyone who has defamed him even if it takes years. He's asking his supporters for help in tracking down all individuals

  
  

  Total mentalcase ...

  @SBF - good video.

  That woman made lots of good points but also managed to be laugh-out-loud funny too.

  I gotta check her channel out.
