Would I still dislike broccoli if it didn’t taste bad?
Would I still avoid falling over if it didn’t hurt?
Would I still hate Mondays if they happened on Fridays?
Would I like football better if it was tennis?

Would you still be angry with Lloyd Evans ?
by BettyHumpter inif instead of thailand, he had gone to a place where its legal and (supposedly) has some sort of oversight to prevent exploitation?
like nevada in the u.s or amsterdam in europe?
would the being unfaithful part still be a deal breaker as far as supporting his channel?

Those environmentalists making is ‘hard’ for LE to ‘cover them fairly’ remind me of …
The teammates making it hard for LE to play football with them
The XJWs making hard for LE to do his important activism work
His wife making it hard for LE to be faithful to her
ad infinitum
So unfortunate for hapless LE to encounter so many people that make it hard for him

Will Ukraine win?
by Fisherman ini was under the impression that it was going to be a short war, that russia’s military would indeed subdue ukraine’s forces quickly but that is not happening.
seems that russia’s military power is much less than it’s reputed to be.
no guess how it will all end..

The international crimes of the United States and its partners are on such a huge scale that they don’t bear comparison with any other country, Russia included. We are talking about hostile blockades of nearby countries (Cuba), instigating violent coups against elected leaders (Chile, Venezuela and elsewhere), wars of aggression under false pretences (Iraq), use of military to grab resources of other countries (Iraq, Libya, Syria, elsewhere), interfering in internal affairs of other countries including bombing, funding, military training, agitation, etc. (Serbia, Ukraine, China, and many other countries). The United States president sits down every week (Obama did it on a Tuesday morning) and decides on a list of people to kill with drones in various countries including but not confined to Yemen, Afghanistan, and Somalia. These drones often hit civilians who were not the intended targets including wedding parties and groups of children. It is estimated that a million people died in the war of aggression against Iraq in 2003 alone. The town of Fallujah was hit with depleted uranium weapons and children are still getting sick from the radiation.

the reality is NATO is not a military force that attacks first.
That’s actually wrong. It may surprise people to find out (it certainly shocked me) but NATO have a first strike policy for their nuclear arsenal if they believe nuclear war is imminent. They were invited the join a pact that committed to “no first strike” and they refused because they want to keep the option of first strike open. Russia’s policy is no first strike unless they face an “existential threat”.
Not only does NATO have a first strike policy with nuclear weapons (and lets be real, by NATO we mean the United States, as others have no say in the matter) but some American strategists are now arguing that they can win a nuclear war with Russia if they do strike first.
So while we are all worrying about the “crazy” Russians starting a nuclear war, are we really sure that the United States won’t “preemptively” strike Russia instead? The US of course is the only nation crazy enough thus far to have used nuclear weapons in war.

Absolutely. All the “military experts” they have on US networks with undeclared interests.

The United States invades Iraq on the other side of the planet, under false pretences, and western opinion is: that was unfortunate, but we had the best of intentions.
Russia warns for decades about NATO expansion, and that Ukraine is absolutely a red line for them, and western opinion is: this is a complete shock, they won’t leave any other country in peace unless we stop them now.

No, because ultimately Russia has nuclear weapons, and won’t accept defeat.

Where it all went wrong for the WT - JF Rutherford
by LoveUniHateExams ini was thinking a bit about this the other day.
ct russell, from what i remember about him, kinda seemed like a genuine, nice(ish) guy, although he had a few eccentric but harmless ideas.. during the russell era jws (actually bible students) could still celebrate christmas, worship in other churches if there was no kingdom hall available, and accept blood transfusions.. then after russell died, along came rutherford - a major league a-hole, for sure.. rutherford had plenty of eccentric ideas but at least some of them weren't/aren't harmless.
some have been long forgotten about - jesus depicted without a beard, the plan to rename the names of the week because names such as thursday (thor's day) is pagan, the articles about the 'dangers' of aluminium, etc.. one key contribution of rutherford which does a lot of harm is no blood transfusions, even in life-threatening situations.. another is shunning, something which never occurred under russell, or at least was much milder.. rutherford has a lot to answer for, i reckon ....

This forum was not “established to expose” Watchtower. It started out as a place for JWs to meet and discuss. The founder was a JW at the time and initially not vocal about doubts in the organisation.
