Hillary Clinton Winning total vote count but loses the Election
by RubaDub indo those of you outside the usa find it odd that in a presidential election, the total number of people casting votes means nothing?
there is a method we use here called the electoral college based on each state rather than the total votes cast by actual people.. this is, i believe the 5th time in america's history that the person with the most votes lost the election (the last was in 2000 when al gore beat george w. bush by about 400,000 votes but lost the election).. so hillary (at the moment i last checked) had overall about 200,000 more votes nationwide but lost.. i'm sure a lot of people in other countries scratch their heads when they see this happening.. rub a dub.

How to route out an apostate... according too this site.
by Thisismein1972 inhttps://jwadvisor.blogspot.co.uk/2016/07/leakinginfo.html.
jehovah's witness advisor.
leakinginfo: what can be done to find out who is leaking documents?.

Here's an idea: if the organisation wants to stop embarrassing material from getting leaked the best way to ensure that would be to stop writing things that could cause embarrassment in the first place. Be fair, honest and open in everything you produce, then what have you got to fear?

6. High morals? I know athiests with high morals.
That's ridiculous. All atheists are moral degenerates without the anchor of the almighty to guide their life.

Help with fading, please...
by longgone ini just left about six months ago and i'm going through the emotional whirlwind that comes with it.
i would really appreciate some advice on how to keep this fade from turning into my being disfellowshipped.
i'm another born in, third generation.

Does anyone locally know of any disfellowshipping offence? Hardline as they are, I don't think they are disfellowshipping just for being inactive, so it shouldn't be an immediate concern. Have you tried simply telling family you are very stressed and that's why you're not at meetings at the moment? Then change the subject.

A stunning piece of LOGIC from the Apostle Paul
by nicolaou in1st corinthians 15 12-17. but if it is preached that christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even christ has been raised.
and if christ has not been raised, your faith is futile... .

nicolaou, you say that asserting the reality of resurrection, if it is not real, would be cruel, for example especially for parents who have lost children.
However the converse is also true. If resurrection is real, and parents were convinced it was not real, that would also be cruel.
So all you have proved is that it is an important issue, not helped to decide it one way or the other.
In fact we could go further and say it would be more cruel in the second scenario than in the first since it involves avoidable pain.
Plus when you really think about it, it is hard to understand how a hope of resurrection is cruel in any circumstance. If parents go to their graves believing in resurrection, when does the cruelty kick in? We'd have to imagine some final sort of explanation being delivered to them that their hope has been false and is definitely wrong. Is that final realisation supposed to happen at death, or else when? And if it doesn't ever happen, then in what real sense has their hope been cruel?
Militant atheists are a bit like someone who interrupts a musical concert to inform everyone the music is rubbish.
Well we don't think it's rubbish.
You might not think it's rubbish, but it is rubbish, and I can't sit here in good conscience without letting you know that you are deluded if you don't realise it's rubbish.
But we enjoy it and it's full of meaning for us.
I don't dispute that you think it is meaningful, but you are wrong, it is empty and it is cruel to let you go on thinking otherwise.
Okay well thanks for your thoughts, can we get on with the concert now?
Not if I've got anything to do with it.
Oh brother.
