i'm not ex-jw but i am ex-mormon and as your cousin i can sympathize with the struggles we face when we question/leave the religion.. i currently have a survey open which closes on sunday the 20th at 11pm.. if you meet the criteria i encourage you to take the 20-30 minute survey.
-be at least 18 years old-born/raised jw (born in or family converted when you were minor)-"left" at least 6 months ago (left=inactive and questioning/non-believing).
Yeah, I went through about 50% of it. It doesn’t look like any information is requested that might personally identify you, and it is hosted at a known survey management site.
Nevertheless, I think it is a positive sign that the first “gut” reaction was skepticism and a suspicion of a fraud/scam.

This survey was also posted some time ago on reddit.
It's legit and I have answered the questions.
I wasn’t going to do it. But since it has been posted on Reddit, it must be safe.
the most powerful love in the universe is unconditional love.. a love that has no requirements or conditions.
no actions are necessary to receive it.. this love is all around us and can be easily seen.
watch any mother with its new born baby.
So which God are you worshiping? The pissed off teenager or the woman with her child.
So your god is a Hitler lover?

My guess is that this young man went home proud that he followed through on the precise course of action praised by pretty much every garbage rap song these days. According to everyone he looks up to, he did exactly what he should have done.

I watched the video. It looks like a young pre-teen (he looks short). And of course runs away with his pants half way down his ass - true to the current cultural rot.
most of the individuals here from what i have read have gravitated to believing in evolution for various reasons and no longer have a belief in a creator.. the questions begs though, is there a higher conscious in the universe than mankind's.
i am sure everyone agrees that animals are conscious, but to what extent can they reason?.
here is the link to dr. rupert sheldrake's - is the sun conscious.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfhsobpja8a.
There is a higher consciousness. Higher... and higher...
i have always felt trump will win again.
i just don’t see biden winning.. what’s your prediction?.
@Min:
As much as they are not big Trump supporters they can’t see themselves voting for Biden.
That’s OK. The Democrats will mail themselves their ballot and vote for them.
i live a few hours away from portland, oregon.
i have many friends who live in or near portland.
i've spent a lot of time in portland.
When life gives you lemons:
i have always felt trump will win again.

@James Bidentard:
MAGA
hillary clinton is telling all democratic supporters to be ready to fight if trump wins.
other democratic leaders are telling the masses to destroy everything in their cities and cripple the economy if trump is elected president.
other democratic leaders are appealing to the military who support the democratic agenda to step in and stop any arm citizens on the side of trump if he is elected, and remove the president by force if he wins the election.. hillary clinton is making it clear to the democratic supporters, that joe biden will become president -after president trump becomes elected.. looks like a dictator coup d'état,to overthrow the usa government by non-democratic means is now in the making.
I watched the clips a few times. Yes, the title of the OP is clumsy. But can you really not figure out the intent?
Let’s fix it:
Hillary is telling all Americans about the left’s plan. Biden should, under no circumstances, CONCEDE IF TRUMP WINS----FIGHT! What will you do when you feel backed into a corner?And, yes, Hillary was speculating that Trump might try something at the polls. But, as usual the left tips their hand through projection. Universal truth #1: The left accuses you of what they themselves do and think. To Hillary, “the polls” are the new mail-in balloting, and the Democrats haven’t been really that secretive about their plans:
1. Get mail-in voting so that nobody can be quite sure about the real election results.
2. Litigate and never concede.
The only way we don’t end up killing each other this fall: Open the polls. Secure the polls. Tell EVERYONE, no matter what side you are on, that it is OK to vote. And if Trump wins, and the left wants to riot more, flood the streets with the national guard (invoke the insurrection act) and put an end to it.
