  Prince Andrew, the Walls are Closing In

  one thing i've learnt over the years is to read between the lines.. that means reading statements carefully.. if you have never met someone, would you say "i have never met them" or would you say "i don't remember ever meeting them"?.

  the latter is just a get-out out in case evidence is presented that you did in fact meet them, because there is a photo of you with your arm around them in the upstairs of a pedo's friends, girlfriends house, which you also claim you never went to.. what will happen if the us jails a uk royal?

  who knows.. before then i just hope he does another of those "utterly convincing" bizarre interviews to "prove" how he couldn't have done it because he is incapable of sweating (cut to photo of sweating andrew).

  Whatever he does, he should avoid using the "C"-word - in order to prevent committing suicide the very next day.

  Especially when you consider that for many questioning Jws this site may be the first they click on. If it looks to be mostly a political place then they may just click out again and who knows if they will click elsewhere to get the help they need?

  This is not a bad point actually.

  I'm not so sure. This is, after all, an ex-JW site. Once you get past the idea that an all powerful being is going to organize life for you, politics becomes much more relevant. It matters to ex-JWs infinitely more than current members.

  The argument above posits that the ex-JW community should keep the conversion less scary to active JWs, lest they see the frightening political speak and run back to the organization. In other words, we shouldn't be free here because of the WTBTS' hold over us through others. Fork that.

  Now before certain people start frothing at the mouth, I should point out, I'm not saying that theres anything wrong with political debates or thoughts or opinions.

  Ok.

  But I do wonder whether this is the right site for such? Especially when you consider that for many questioning Jws this site may be the first they click on.

  This has been said, what... 5000 times over the last 12 months? Each time the answer is the same: the topic is allowed here. You can engage or not. It's your choice. Nobody forces anyone into a thread.

  But I also noticed that it didn't take long for the "stop political discussions here" crowd to start associating the scary "right wing" with a cult.

  Did You Think The Capitol Riot Was Worse Than What Happened On 9/11?

  in my lifetime 9/11 was the worst thing that i can recall.

  the effect it had was incredibly horrible!

  almost everyone seemed to know someone that was either directly or indirectly affected by this diabolical act.

  Whoever originated this thought of comparing these was probably attempting to minimize the Capitol Riot.

  No, they are trying to maximize it by comparison instead of contrast.

  They are saying "This was sooooo bad, it was like 9/11".

  Serious Question: Are You Hearing About Anyone With The Flu Anymore or A Cold?

  by minimus in

  for years everyone was told they had to get the flu shot.

  because the flu was dangerous and it could even kill you.

  now, hardly anyone talks about the flu or having a cold.

  Triple masked, 12 hours a day, even while showering.... especially while showering.

  That aught to do it. We are now all safe.

  We have a family friend. She has ulcerative colitis. It has been under control for 15 years. She was originally told not get the vaccine, but then the general word went out that it is safe for everyone. She went with Pfizer. Three days after her second dose, a flare started that, it seemed, could not be controlled. She was in the hospital for 23 days, and came within an inch of losing her colon. The doctors agreed that the only thing different was the vaccine.

  The payback is economies slowly returning and government issued benefits that will have to be repaid. (taxes)

  
  As if the economy is some external nebulous thing sitting "over there". The economy is us. Businesses, mostly small, have been decimated, each one representing the life work and investment of someone. The government was (and still is) picking winners and losers.
  
  The money printing represents a tax - the value of the money has been ciphened away, and a small percentage of that value is given back in "benefits". And to repay it? Give me a break - that has and never will occur.
  
  

  The virus may be over but there is going to be lingering consequences.

  
  It's not. It will evolve. It already has. At some point we need to have the adult conversation about risk.
  
  

  You really cant fault the governments for doing what they did, it was in good intentions.

  
  I can, and I do. The risk was unknown for about a 4 week period. Anything after that was fear porn and a power grab. And probably used as an opportunity to advance political power as a means to promote economic philosophy.
  
  

  At least we can say we will be more prepared for the next pandemic virus that comes around and I hope it doesn't in are lifetime.

  
  Too late.

  Risk is a multi-faceted calculation. It weighs the risk of death with the risk of losing a livelihood, with the risk of damage to the mental health of one's children, with the loss of a decade in economic growth (The money we're printing now is a massive tax on 95% of the population, and the wealth drained will take a decade to recover, more if government continues to grow). Also, the risk of postponed treatment of other diseases.

  If you evaluate all of this against a 98% of surviving COVID, you can start to see the problem with the current generation - fearful, sheltered, unrealistic.

  It is easy to see why someone might exclaim, "It isn't real!" What is meant is "The reaction, what they are telling us, the fear point, is not real. It is not justified."

  The Capitol riot isn’t even on the same page as 9/11. Few attacks besides acts of war can compare with 9/11.

  
  Exactly.
  
  To be perfectly clear, non-partisan, and honest - even the BLM riots during "the summer of love" weren't on the level of 9/11. And I think the BLM riots were exponentially worse than the January 6th riot. The capitol riot and 9/11 aren't even in the same book.
  
  It is absolutely rediculous.
