  Banners for London Protest

  by Farmer Jim1 in

  hi folks, i’m attending the london protest at the excel convention in august and am making some banners.

  i’m aiming for short but memorable sentences that will stick in jws minds and also make them laugh a little at their own organisation.. my best so far is ‘this is not a protest, it’s an overlapping protest’.

  has anyone got any ideas for more?.

  published in 2016. the material was from lesson 28 "what can be found on our website?

  there is a footnote at the bottom that reads: .

  No. I am happy the U.S. dodged the bullet named Hillary Clinton.

  I did not vote for Trump in the Republican Primaries. I did not vote for either in the general election. Since Trump has taken office I have been pleased with most of what he has done.

  What pleases me the most is that Donald Trump is not part of the Washington D.C. elite class. That is why he is hated by both Republican and Democrat federal elected officials.

  On leaving JW's and hating religion...

  by Jehalapeno in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's been nearly 4 years now since i completely woke up to the watchtower lies.. thinking back on my jw life, during the time i believed, the organization truly did teach us to hate all beliefs that were contrary to the watchtower's.. i hated "false" religion.. so, when i finally woke up and applied critical thinking to my beliefs, i just went on hating religion in general...only this time i added jw's to that list.. a few months of waking up, i decided to base my beliefs on evidence.

  i didn't want to have a set of beliefs unless there was some logic or evidence behind it.

  so, now i consider myself an atheist.. and i kept on hating religion.. within the last six months or so, something has changed.

  I'm ok with religion. I have a hard time tolerating Christianity and Islam. I wish more people would get back in touch with their ancestors' faith. Hail Odin Allfather!

  someone on jwtalk has shared their convention notes (for those interested in a jw perspective).

  jehovah’s people will experience hardships, so reliance on god is paramount!.

  prayer is essential and vital for our spiritual well-being.

  Peak attendance being 6K on Sunday? That's a lot less since I attended Conventions. Less than half of what I recall.

  I saw The Last Jedi yesterday ... spoilers!

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  2. entertainment

  yeah i saw ep 8 tlj yesterday.. first off, the special effects - a combination of cgi and practical - are fantastic, although with a budget of $200 million i expect them to be.. there are many issues i have with this movie and here's one: leia flying through space, i mean, wtf?!.

  yes, we know leia is luke's brother and so has some force-sensitivity - she talked telepathically to luke in the empire strikes back.. apart from that, she's never really used any abilities she may have or been taught the ways of the force ... and now she's flying through space!

  xd.

  There are only 3 Star Wars films -

  • Rogue One
  • A New Hope
  • The Empire Strikes Back (up until Vader reveals his paternity)

  Everything else is garbage.

  Immigration: The Truth about the LIe - CRIME

  immigration: the truth about the lie: crimecrime: do immigrants increase rates of violence?

  there has been a lot of talk about how immigrants pose a threat to the safety of this country by increasing crime rates.

  is there any truth to this, or is it "fake news.

  I have a suggestion. Visit your local District/State Attorney's Office. Ask they how many open cases they have with the following criteria -

  1. The Defendant is a Criminal Alien.

  2. The Defendant is accused of committing a violent felony.

  3. The Defendant fled back across the Mexican border to avoid prosecution.

  In my county of 800,000 citizens, our District Attorney's Office has a unit that handles the prosecution of most child sex crimes. On that unit's case load there are over 200 Defendants who are accused of raping children under the age of 14 who meet the criteria above. That's at least 200 children who were sexually assaulted by a criminal alien who will most likely never see justice. That's 200 families effected by a horrible crime that should never have happened because the perpetrator should never have been in the United States to begin with.

  That's just the cases with children who are victims of sexual assault. There's thousands more who are fugitives from justice for crimes such as -

  Aggravated Robber

  Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

  Manufacture and Delivery of a controlled Substance (Meth/Heroin)

  Those who do get caught generally just plead guilty for a probation sentence and then are immediately deported back to Mexico. They often come back under another assumed named.

  This is my reality. This is my world.

  2. experiences

  i live in the des moines iowa area , i would be interested in doing a kingdom hall crash after watching some on youtube, i would love to do that with a group of people.

  i haven't meet any other ex jw around here.

  i was never baptized, i always knew i could never live up to jehovah's standard so i never did even consider baptizing.

  This is a counterproductive action. You will accomplish just the opposite of your goal. If you're going to spend time taking action against the Witnesses you're better off educating non-Witnesses about this organization.
