On the other hand, sometimes there are situations in which the cashier should tell the customer to fork off - I'm thinking specifically of the digus I saw in line the other day, in the self-checkout express lines with two full carts.

Critical Race Theory…do you think kids should be forced to be taught this in schools?

i do not support crt.

but having said that i find it disturbing that schools are teaching children whatever they want to teach.

if parents object or even teachers refuse to teach something, anything that violates their conscience or morals, i don’t think government or schools have the right to push these people to accept it.

Parents have the right to teach their children as they see fit and schools/government should stay out of it!

That ship has sailed, don't you think? Government schools teaching the political - imagine that...

It's real, actual racism.

To answer the OP's question, just replace "CRT" with "real, actual racism".

Vaccine Deaths

by Sea Breeze in

it is reported that in the usa, 30 people are dying per day after receiving the corona vaccine.

anyone else hear about this?

- article.

Causation is tough.

But I do thing there is something to be said about consistency here. The deaths due to COVID itself used the same logic. Can't have your cake and eat it too..

Exploding microchips

Nano... everything is nano these days. The people dying are the ones the nano bots can't sucessfully genetically manipulate into the next stage in human evolution.

Has anyone still in or otherwise heard anything about JWs think we only have 12 months before Armageddon?

by blablabluh in

i’ve noticed a change in family attitude recently, like there is just something extra on their mind.

i even had to call my brother to check if he was dying and too scared to tell me.

anyway, i saw a video last night my saying jws think we only have 12 months left before armageddon so thought maybe this is the reason for changes attitude.

Just thought I'd leave this here …

Good lord. He talks as if his audience is mentally retarded.

....or.... as if he is mentally retarded. One of the two... or both.

British BLM activist has been shot in the head - media bias?

by LoveUniHateExams in

sadly, british blm activist sasha johnson is critically ill in hospital after being shot in the head.. first, i'd like to wish her a recovery if this is possible.. but i also think this could be a good test case of how the british media report this event.. i think it could be good to explore media bias.. so, we have the right-wing daily mail saying that, according to her friend, sasha johnson was shot in the head due to being in the cross-fire of a gang shooting, and that she wasn't the intended target, neither was she targeted because of her politics.. at the other end of the spectrum, the left-wing guardian is saying that she was shot after receiving death threats, according to her political party that she founded.. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9612115/drive-gunmen-shot-black-panther-oxford-sasha-johnson-head-fired-house-party.html.

This is fake news. Guns are banned in the UK, therefore there was no gun. Fake.

Interesting Find with Chronology

by Kelley959 in

i hope this is in the right area.

i've been studying the 2520 days/years 607/587/586 debacle.

for a while now i have felt 1914 was wrong.

Does this comment indicate your skill in linguistics and in Hebrew and Greek?

No. Not sure what Greek has to do with Jerimiah, buuuttt... I figure it's a safe bet to lean on the hundreds, if not thousands, of qualified academics that have translated these verses into English.

I suppose you could make the claim that pretty much all of them, professional linguists that they are, couldnt help but botch Jerimiah 25 so terribly again and again. So strange that these hundreds, if not thousands, of experts all understood that the 70 years was desolation and exile, but for some reason kept rendering the verses in English in ways that grammatically separate the desolation of Judah and servitude of "these nations".

Is that what we have? A world of terrible translators? Including the NWT committee too? Because they render it the same way...
