Somewhere in heaven:
Jehovah: Satan, you remember that time with Job?
satan: yah how can i forget, you keep mentioning it..
Jehovah: rematch?

57Mark Sanderson Talk re Belgium visit
by Listener inthe degradation of the governing body members continues on.
mark sanderson gives a talk regarding his visit to belgium for the memorial this year and was travelling from korea to munich to brussels, belgium on the day of the belgium terrorist attacks.he cannot wipe the smirk on his face as he relates his experience, with no regard whatsoever of all those unfortunately affected by the attacks.
in fact, he personally found god's hand affecting him personally, allowing him to attend the memorial as planned and a kh dedication.he is that privileged during his flight travels that internet was available to him, enabling him to catch up on current news and to contact branch's.

No! No! No! This can't be true? brexit? No!
by purrpurr init seems britain has voted to leave the eu in a move of total madness!
the markets are already in free fall and the moronic bigots who campaigned for this are celebrating the demise of our country .. i can't see how a 49-51% split can be democratic?
there is still the postal vote to come in, maybe there's hope in that?

If they don't leave for one reason or another, imagine what will happen with UKIP in the next election? "the political elite stole our election to please the germans". I don't think that's viable internally in Britain, but then again I don't live there.
What's needed is some way to overcome the emotionally driven, xenophobic right-wing factions that are springing up across Europe and create a positive European identity. I got no idea how.

SBF: It's a bloody mess, but some time has to elapse before it will be possible to know what will happen (what the leave/join procedure for Scotland would look like), right now I could imagine much of it is emotionally driven by being "dragged out" by the UK. Most of all I hope common sense prevails in NI. That's one conflict I wish never to see again in my lifetime...

SBF: I was about to write a flippant reply about "not knowing the UK is out", but then I realized I would properly agree with you this once ;-). What is the writing in the Scottish press? Do you think the UK would accept another referendum for independence?

DJS: You are 100% right on the demographics of the #brexit: Older and uneducated.
Muslim immigration, contrary to #brexit claims, has nothing to do with the EU since the UK refused to be part of the EU scheme for relocation of Syrian refugees. They also has the right to maintain their own borders because they are not part of Schengen. I believe many #brexit voters are not aware of this and believe the EU is causing immigration.
The main immigration problem affecting #brexit voters is the free movement of labor within EU. This means a Polish plumber has the right to work in the UK and many brexit voters believe this is destroying the UK economy and social systems, claims that has little or no basis in reality. Immigrants from the EU to the UK are younger, better educated and benefit the UK and is an important contribution to the UK GDP.
When the UK leave the EU they will be outside the agreement on free movement of labor. However to be part of the EU trading zone this WILL be a demand by the EU and most likely will be the case. That is, to have the same agreement as Norway, they must allow free movement of labor and pay their dues to the EU. Many #Brexit voters are not aware of this either, or believe the UK will be able to negotiate some special arrangement.
In negotiating such an arrangement the UK has far, far less negotiation power than the EU (the EU is half the trade of the UK) and EU has political reasons to demand the UK conform to conditions similar to Norway or stricter to prevent further fragmentation.
On top of that many EU citizens see the English as spoiled kids who has complained and had their ways for 20 years with special agreements and rebates and that it is about time someone put the foot down and showed them the door. In is in, out is out. For instance, the UK has stood in the way for further regulations on the financial markets which is very unpopular in the rest of the EU. In local media I have seen "crazy girlfriend" used to describe the UK.

I love how sweden has gone From safe to 2nd worse rape country in the world, muslim communities not integrating and growing with no go zones, problems left and right but liberal answer is those problems don't exist and should allow continue allowing mass immigration or a bigot. Liberals are the biggest bigots of them all
Thus, the immigration policy enacted by Swedish politicians voted in by Swedish voters using their national sovereignty is very relevant for why the UK should leave EU. Indeed, the EU project is undemocratic because of decisions the individual nations make. Go #Brexit!, #LiberalismIsNazismLitterally -

fulltimestudent: The best predictor in the election was a university education. The leave-vote is nationalistically/emotionally driven and not based on rational arguments IMO; when things don't pan out (and I think the UK should be thrown out quickly and negotiated with like any other country to protect the EU from similar nationalistic movements from within, sorry 48%) they will pass the buck to a new group.
Perhaps it is still the EUs fault (God knows Boris will still have to enact pretty much the same rules to maintain vital trade relations), perhaps it will be the Muslims.
Northern Ireland is going to be a clusterf#ck because the agreement is funded by the EU. I think they will remain (but things could blow up) and the Scots go.

Watchtower and Brexit
by jwleaks inso britain is leaving the european union (eu).. the governing body of jehovah's witnesses have over the past year moved the majority of its european activities to the control of watchtower britain and the ibsa primarily because of britain's membership with the eu.. further, the incorporated pseudo-political lobby group, european association of jehovah's christisn witnesses, based in brussels, is administered by watchtower britain and its officers.
.
expect major changes in the structure of watchtower..

Sorry JW_rogue, I thought you were against globalism. I think the EU is a great idea, it saddens me both for the British people and the entire idea about a more united europa has hit a severe setback. I hope to see the consequences reversed within my time.
