the craziness of first-past-the-post elections .... we'll no doubt have to now live through the scotts demanding another referendum, because we may take their lands, but we will never take their freedom!
and so they want to be free of the uk, where they have a disproportionate influence in parliament, and be a little dot that's part of the eu.
yup, freedom.. but anyway, as it stands right now they have 48 seats after getting 1.2m votes.
How long can they deny Scotland has the right to determine its own future. Do they seriously intend to keep Scotland in the UK against its will?
^^^ *sigh*
We've been through this point several times previously.
Scotland is in the UK due to its will - voting Remain in IndyRef 2014.
Boris Johnson and his Tory government are respecting that IndyRef result. Boris, the UK Prime Minister, also has a democratic mandate to deliver on the withdrawal of the UK from the EU, which he's getting on with.
it occurs to me the gb probably dont have much experience when it comes (!
) to marital sex guidance, so i think its only fair and reasonable we should put together a few hints to help them publish a suitable guide.. it is well known a lot of jw's get married in order to have sex, and all to frequently the marriages fail, possibly due to sexual problems, so the watchtower guide to sex should prove to be very worthwhile.. any jw courting couple intending to get married should be allowed to have a copy of the guide, and should only be available by a special order through the body of elders.. copies are not available to any single bros and sisters.. all and any advice in it must adhere to bible principles, and certainly no salty language or smut will be allowed.. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
so--to get this started--and in no particular order--here is my first suggestion:.
Sorry to go off on one, but ...
Watchtower: "Thus, a mate’s enforcing perverted acts, such as oral or anal sex, within the marriage … "
^^^ Would be rape (enforcing).
WTF is wrong with the WTS? Jeez!
Any sexual act that is forced or enforced is rape/abuse/coercion.
Adult couples (married or not) can decide for themselves what they want to do in private.
They don't need advice from a group of elderly men who probably aren't getting any, lol.
...having been released half way through his sentence from prison only weeks ago - for terror offences.. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51351844.
Well done to the police for shooting the terrorist dead.
Where he belongs, six feet under.
corona-virus facts.
in china, people generally do not wash their hands.
there is no soap in restrooms or even in hospitals.
The following video isn't necessarily a coronavirus fact, it's more like a coronavirus suggestion.
The Chinese eat bat soup.
And, this video suggests that the coronavirus is genetically speaking, very similar to a virus found in bats.
And bat soup is popular in Wuhan.
hi guys...well watchtower gets wackier and wackier!.
so watchtower has hired the author of several books on satanism & self proclaimed 'vampire' society member(!
) vlad...i mean massimo introvigne to defend them against a report by two academics recommending the dutch govt investigate jws.
Vell, Watchtower, I vill defend you ...
Mwa ha ha ha ha!!!
here, in the us, we go to the "bathroom".
am i taking a bath?
we either poop or pee.. when we go to canada, we go to the "washroom".
I guess it's just general politeness and manners, RubaDub.
Saying "I'm just going to spend a penny" is much nicer than saying "I've got turtle-neck - I'm just going to take a hot, steaming dump".
And "I just need to powder my nose" is so much nicer than "I've just hit the pad with my Devil's Waterfall - it's worse than the school prom scene from Carrie (1976) down here!"
saw the movie yesterday and, wow - it was good.. it's a follow-up to the shinning, an iconic movie, and it just has the same feel to it not least because some of it ends up set back at the same hotel and has the same kind of camera angles and scenes plus the haunting soundtrack.
it actually starts with the mom and the kid living after they survived the experience in the original movie.. it wasn't what i was expecting, i thought it was going to just be a cash-in, but it wasn't - not just more of the same, instead it actually built in the original and expanded on what 'the shinning' was.. if you like suspenseful movies but not just a gore-fest, i give it a thumbs up..
I'm aware that there are some good reviews for this movie.
Seeing as I love The Shining (1980), perhaps I should check this film out in due time ...
i haven’t posted in awhile.
my wife asked me after the year 2000 came and went without fanfare(because the wt organization said all the “new world” would be here within this 20th century would end), “ what would it take for you to leave the truth?”.
my reply was “ if i turn 60 in this “system of things”.
Well done, Mr and Mrs Jack.
Best wishes

i don't know if this topic has been covered before - it might 've been.. i also recommend flipper's excellent music thread ('what songs have you been listening to?
', or similar).. but, i'd just like to start a thread about certain songs giving me goosebumps.
y'know, when you hear a song that profoundly effects you in some difficult-to-describe way and the hairs on your arm stand on end even though the room temperature's comfortably warm.. so, which songs give you goosebumps?.
And, of course, this song featuring The Queen of Soul gives me goosebumps.

Dayum, just listen to her voice @3mins 38 secs - f**k me, it sounds like a plane taking off! XD.
RIP Aretha Franklin.
excellent, the lords' objection to the brexit bill has been overcome and it will now become law.. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2020/jan/23/brexit-boris-johnson-labour-leadershiop-eu-official-tells-johnson-to-face-dose-of-realism-as-he-claims-brexit-now-crossing-finish-line--live-news.
it's a guardian article, so it's well worth looking at a few of the below-the-line comments.

@Earnest - it would be profoundly undemocratic to allow the tiny populations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to override the rest of the UK.
