elizabeth warren, alexandria ocasio cortez, and other democrats are openly expressing interest (and in come cases, campaign promises) that the electoral college has to go.

i disagree for a few reasons.

first, the 25 states (out of 50, so 50%) with the smallest populations only get 21% of the electoral college votes (in our current system, today).

curious to know if this is the kathleen desoto that was on the defense (watchtower) side during last week's 35 million dollar judgment for the plaintiffs in the child molestation case.

joel taylor and don herberger (spelling) were also on the borg's side in this case.. https://www.garlington.com/attorneys/kathleen-l-desoto.shtml.

does anyone know if that kathleen desoto has worked with the organization before, or was she just retained because she's local to montana and very highly ranked?.

this is an example of a story that just strikes me as funny from their publications:.

"wilson, a christian from ghana, was notified that in a few days, he would be fired from his job.

on his final day at work, he was assigned to wash the private car of the managing director of the company.

Military service in Mexico and party affiliation in Malawi... Any letters from BOE?

1. watchtower
2. beliefs
does anyone have a copy of a letter to the boe in mexico or malawi from the 80's/90's - (it can be in spanish or some other language) from back in those days regarding organizational policy and direction?

of course the cult teaches that it's a sin to be involved in politics and the military.

in mexico - every young man was expected to complete a year of military service.

JWD as home page

so...on my home pc (which my kids use all the time) - i set my internet browser home page to here - even though i don't visit here every day or post very often.

i notice that when they open the browser, they have been looking at the active topics just for the sake of browsing them.

my daughter did a lot of poking around the site the other day (even though she attends meetings with her mother occasionally - my son does not attend at all and hasn't for 3 years).
