  Why is the white race so different?

  by Crazyguy in

  what i'm saying is the white race is the only one that has a verity of eye and hair colors , so what gives?

  is it that this race was influenced genetically by a group of pre humans that didn't mix with other races?

  COFTY- " Discussing issues and helping the hurt are not mutually exclusive . "

  Precisely, I agree. However- discussing the issues and losing focus of helping the hurt can become polar opposites at the same time. The old expression " cutting one's nose off to spite one's face " - or - " winning the battle, but losing the war " - at what price or cost do we value over always being right to save face - over allowing free expression of other's views ? Kind of where I stand. People have their views - whether they're religious or not- I tend not to lose sleep over it. Everybody has a right to their views if they aren't harming anybody

  I think people here could be a lot more dignified without hurling slings and arrows of insult to one another. But apparently this is what happens when race gets thrown into the mixture. Think I'll tune into a different thread channel to see if there are any Ex-JW's who are hurting and being shunned in order to assist them

  Apostate's last public talk ? Freaking fantastic ! Really great thinking points he gave the audience in that talk. They were none the wiser as to who was giving the talk. Pretty clever. And then for the speaker to skip out for an " emergency " near the end of the talk- smart move. Also enjoyed the rock music video at the end. Nice band and this ex-elder can play some guitar ! He bears a resemblance in the face to Dave Matthews actually a little bit. Hopefully he made some JW's in the audience think with his " public talk " . Pretty epic stuff, thanks for sharing

  In my personal DNA I've been researching on the genealogy websites 23 & Me and Ancestry.com - my DNA shows that although I'm 53 % British & Scottish, I also have a small % of Sub Saharan African and Native American in me as well. Also- My Neanderthal percentage is 3.1 % which according to 23 & me puts me in the top 2 % of humans alive today who have Neanderthal in them. I'm more Neanderthal than 98 % of humans on the planet ! LOL ! Average is 2.5 % for 50 % of humans alive.

  So yeah, I feel that a good number of Africans had relations with European Neanderthals and that each travelled into each other's countries thousands of years ago which means we are all related somehow. Hey and that's cool ! Variety is the spice of life man ! I've got a little bit of everything in me. Spanish, French, German, African, native American, even 1,000 years ago some Russian and Ukranian. Our ancestors travelled everywhere , so I might be one of you guys & gals distant Neanderthal cousin ! And you wondered why I'm always searching for Sasquatch- right ? Hey man, gotta find my ancestors ! LOL.

  " Why is the White Race so Different " ? The white race isn't any different . People of every race in mankind bleed red, we all have to take a pee and a shit. We all have to eat food and drink water to survive. And we all need to sleep. And there are good and bad in every race of people. I think that about covers it

  What a sick, twisted letter !

  The quote : " This arrangement is not a provision to allow an individual to care for sick relatives .......... " .

  Indeed. God forbid the WT Society would ever make such a loving provision to care for sick relatives ! Unbelievably calloused and insensitive. Being humane and sensitive to individual needs of JW's is NOT in the WT leaders vocabulary

  All of them are crazy. All the WT Society publications have some kind of bat shit crazy mind control indoctrination in them. It's not just the " Revelation " book or the " Babylon the Great has Fallen " book that are the most dangerous- it's even the most subtle books like the " Family " book or " Young People Ask " books that have insidious mind control indoctrination within them. It's hard to pick just one WT book that's the most dangerous- they're ALL dangerous

  greetings, word lovers:.

  in my job, i work with words and wrangle them into shape, well, in a manner of speaking.

  " Malignant narcissism " . Just got done reading an article in Rolling Stone magazine describing Donald Trump. My god- then I got to thinking after I read the article about all the narcissists I've known in my own life ! Including my own 91 year old elder JW dad. The psychological traits these people display are scary and deeply ingrained causing much damage to themselves and others. Word for the day for what I'm researching : narcissism. Take care, Peace out, Mr. Flipper

  the pope admits to a backlog of 2000 sex abuse cases which still need to be addressed.. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-4503202/pope-acknowledges-2-000-case-backlog-sex-abuse-cases.html.

  Sounds like the Catholic Church is dragging it's heels as well in prosecuting child abusers. It's a good thing that they put more staff on to handle the crimes, but if the staff sits on their hands and does nothing- then nothing gets accomplished. Good article, thanks for posting it.

  I think MANY different religious organizations drag their heels in handling child abuse because of the public fallout and negative media coverage . So the WT Society, Catholics, Baptist, Mormons, etc. - many of these organizations try to settle out of court with child abuse victims to hush it up- rather than change their child abuse policies. It shows where priorities lie with most of these religions- and it's not the needs of the abused children

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  i think the disfellowshipping abandonement arrangement in human relationships also to be a heavy contributor to this malady:.

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/borderline_personality_disorder.

  borderline personality disorder (bpd), also known as emotionally unstable personality disorder, is a long-term pattern of abnormal behavior characterized by unstable relationships with other people, unstable sense of self, and unstable emotions.

  Yes, most definitely it causes it. Thanks for sharing the info. A lot of this info harmonizes with Steve Hassan's views of how damaging cult mind control is as well to cult members
