now the majority of people nowadays do no go by the hope of old times.

our culture sees ethics especially national or civil politics as the rules and standards by which we guide ourselves.

with all of the bat-shit crazy propaganda of late, i'm considering talking to my wife about the cult.

we have had zero religious discussions for two years.

i don't really engage in doctrinal discussions about jw's anymore.
