Just a thought. For anyone found guilty of felony involving a gun, the sentence should be automatically doubled or add +5 or +10yrs. That's a gun law that would appeal to everyone, except the bad guy caucus, but they never vote anyway. It targets bad people specifically and doesn't impinge on good people's rights and self protection.

Huckabee: The US Is More Evil Than The Rest Of The World
by ctrwtf inhttps://youtu.be/spnxx52oesa .
mike huckabee thinks that sin and evil, not guns, are the reason the us has so many mass shootings.. if this is true, then all things being equal, the us has more evil and sinful people than the rest of the world.
who's to blame for that?

I don't know if I can speak about the Evil part.
This has been all over news for the week. If they increase regulation or ban guns, good guys will not have guns. The bad guys will still be getting more. Black market. Many drugs are illegal, but they they cannot stop those. Bad guys are bad guys because they don't follow the laws. What would more regulation or banning do?
If I were a burglar I would really think twice about breaking into a house, or store, because they may shoot me. Conceal and carry has been winning over more states. The crime rates are dropping, not going up. A couple of armed teachers or a security guard would have made a huge difference. He would know there are good guns around the schools and think twice. If he were to have been shot sooner it would have saved lies. I'm not sure two bullets are the cure for schizophrenia (take two and call me in the morning) - but it helps. Many more people would be alive today and many families would not have to suffer the loss. Good people deserve protection.
I like Huckabee. As a presidential candidate I was worried the he, as gentleman and former minister, would not have the guts to order the military to attack. Watched talk show a few times. He very sternly stated into the camera - "If you break into my house and threaten my family - I will introduce you to two of my friends ... SMITH AND WESSON!"
Take Chicago for example. Some of strongest gun laws in the country. Their murder rates are through the roof. On an average day, more Americans are killed in Chicago that all the US military in the middle east. (which Obama completely ignores. Even on US soil he will not us the military, in this case the National Guard, to have a presence in Chicago. Some 15-20 people were shot last weekend - about average.) God forbid someone would take away good people guns. More regulation has had no effect on bad guys. The gangs are not getting the guns legally now - nor would they have a problem getting them even if they banned them all together.
Breaking new - "last weekend a helicopter when down killing 5 marines - and in Chicago (alone) 17 people were killed". I hear it all the time.
The crime rates went down in conceal and carry areas. The news pointed out that after Australia banned guns, the crime rate soared. Imagine the celebration of bad guys knowing people they harm cannot shoot back. Break into any house, if they see you, just leave. Mug someone - you won't get shot by anyone. Crimes rates would surge so high in the US.
Granted sensible rules do apply. Keep your gun in a safe place and away from children. Good idea to keep guns and bullets in separate places. For several years now they have been developing finger print readers built into the gun. Only when the registered owner grip the gun will it shoot.

I liked the original movie - Stargate. Maybe that's what happened to the Aztecs or Mayans when they vanished.
Not impossible.

Are logos evil?
by goddidit ini have a vague memory of jws having some objection to logos of some kind in the past, which might be a contradiction to the recent addition of the jw.org logo.. please can someone enlighten me on what their stance used to be regarding logos?.

WireRider
I always thought it was hypocritical. I think all of Russell's books used a logo of the "winged sun". A direct symbol for the Egyptian symbol for the pagan god Ra.
Pictures of his tombstone says "The Laodicean Messenger" ??
Had to google: Laodicean (halfhearted toward religion)

Many links on Google: Warwick Watchtower contamination
I like this:
A Witness closely involved with these aspects of the project says, “Even though doing so will require additional planning and time, we are committed to protecting the ecosystem at the Warwick site.”
So they buy land that had a metals foundry dumping tons of chemical byproducts for 20 some years, many of which were illegally dumped for years. And a "research" division. Who knows what they were dumping.

They could never sell that property now without an extensive environmental clean-up.
My question is what knothead would buy this property, knowing who owned it and what it was used for, and didn't bother to have it tested. I don't care "how contaminated" it is - I certainly wouldn't be working there, and I sure as hell would not live there, bathe, eat or drink anything. Who needs Kool-Aid, they have pre-contaminated ground and ground water. Even at a low dose can make people sick with extended exposure. I have heard people say it is a luxury retirement resort. :) Good place.
Think the lawsuits are adding up now? Wait a few years. Bringing in all kinds of volunteers to work on a property that at the same time they are screaming in court that the property is so contaminated they are demanding that the previous owner pay for cleanup? Are they using local water for concrete and other building needs. Hosing down floors before tile?
They should have postponed building until AFTER it was cleaned, and AFTER they knew how much it costs.
My house isn't that big, but I had it tested. Maybe the GB missed that on their conference call with God. Or maybe God just has a hell of a sense of humor - and a way to kill off false prophets who build their World Takeover Headquarters on a waste dump.
If they have to pay to have chemical remediation, the lawsuit to try to recover money could be 10yrs, if ever? No amount of contamination that requires professional remediation is acceptable. The article I read was that is was made an illegal practice be the EPA years before the previous company stopped. Why was the practice of dumping byproduct chemicals outlawed? What idiot bought this property unchecked?

The Governing Body And What Extremes They Will Go To In Causing Human Suffering To Keep A Delusional Dream Alive
by Brokeback Watchtower inthe dream stage of wishful thinking eventually crashes with reality and slowly turns to the nightmare stage do you see the predicament the gb is in and what extremes they cause in human suffering for their followers that they are willing to put them thru?
please feel free to vent on these maniacs.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/wishful_thinking.
the fantasy cycle ... a pattern that recurs in personal lives, in politics, in history and in storytelling.

What if the WT/JW are really on autopilot at this point. The original schemers that know the truth, invented a religion to recruit an army of a free sales forces for the publishers products. Time Cards / Points / Quotas - pushing products - really? What does God need with time cards or logs? Building up their real estate holdings with free labor. Which verse was that?
And the original group is past dead. What if those running the asylum have been so brainwashed in the past that they really believe it? Child abuse victims tend to pass on the abuse to the next generation - only recently are people coming out - how many generations has this been going on? They are without any original direction. Autopilot. Just doing what they were themselves brainwashed to believe. What they saw in the past.

Doubling down on a WT World Headquarters - knowingly built on land with chemical ground contamination serious enough to sue for. Sounds about right. Pouring all resources in to it.
I'd like to see the for sale sign on the front lawn.

What is your purpose or what do you wish to accomplish while a member of this board?
by Tenacious inwhen i joined this forum i was seeking more people who felt the same way i did in terms of seeing the jehovah's witness organization for what it truly was; a false prophet.. once i found like-minded members i slowly started to open up and participate more in trying to help others that were also exiting mentally and physically.
today, i offer support to anyone who desires it regardless of what they believe or not believe.. so what is your purpose on this board?.
support?

Support. I dated a JW until her family found out. In my reading/research/studies I stumbled across this site looking for answers. I post a few comments to call-to-action posts. I think what shocks me the most is the common theme "I would but I don't want to get caught" and "I would but I don't want to be exposed". What the hell kind of religion is that? If you are a true WT/JW God would know everything you do/think anyway - but here so many are afraid of getting "caught" by humans. WTF? So many people want to be free - come and go as they please, but they are so trapped by a fake religion - a cult - that is only about falsely using religion to control people and make money.
Someone skipped all the warnings of false prophets. No one can deny false prophesies and obvious lies about humans that speak to God. They teach hate of all other religions to scare people to get in line.

Has God done anything recently worth witing about?
by WireRider ini'm not sure why religions insist upon living and teaching from thousands of years ago.
a time when people lived in fear of things they didn't understand and didn't have the knowledge or words to describe things and events in terms that are relevant to us in 2015. why are we taught to live, and believe, in the middle-east over 2000 years ago?
when is there going to be some new material?
