I can remember when I joined the Chess class in middle school. My mother brought out an older Watchtower article about how Chess is a game of war. Since I left the cult in 95 I have slowly lost any connection to the cult. So I don't keep up with the day to day goings on. If they don't like Chess they must hate most video games. What is the latest on video games and Chess?

The governing body KNEW
by FedUpJW inso i received an email from one of the used-to-be jw friends that now pretty much ignore me.
it was haranguing me about "getting right with gee-ho'-vuh", and how imperative it was to "return to the organization".
it continued on with the worn out argument that "the faithful and discreet slave know what we must do in order to be safe and to live, as gee-ho'-vuh brightens the light to them.

If they have to use something so stupid as proof that they are inspired its worst than a 5 dollar tarot card reader.

I don't know how the cult is going to keep this up in this day and age. Pre 90s it was fine to attack gays. In fine I mean accepted by and large. Its not but in only some places of the country. In General its not so there could be a big back lash against the cult. The Cult is getting hit all over from all angles and I am loving it.

I watched this a few days ago. This is going to cause her a lot of family issues, but that said I think she is suffering from guilt in that she feels and maybe did a bit push her brother to kill himself. I would bet she feels like if she had not been following the cult and supported her brother he may be alive today. The cult is blood guilty for sure.

The Cancel Culture Is Alive And Well
by minimus inif you don’t support certain ideas or beliefs, you may find yourself on the losing end in business, money matters, and community.
curt schilling, a former red sox player who is conservative today reported how his insurance company suddenly dropped him even though he was an excellent consumer with them because of his “ views”.
he was marked by those in charge and evidently was told by the rep he knew that they didn’t like his political views.

The left is full on fascist. They are the new Nazi, Cambodian killing fields and Mao's great leap backward. Too stupid to know that the radicals leading them down the prim rose path are evil. This is why many on the left are useful idiots.

Dozy I don't buy what you are saying. You may have hit one or two that diverge from the script but that is more of an individual doing so not the cult. The cult is not moving away from using funerals as a propaganda tool

Typical JW bull shit. The last JW funeral I went to they did the same BS. You know that JWs don't do funerals on a one by one basis. They have a outline for funerals. Insert name of deceased here, age here then the rest is all outlined. This is just one example of what makes the JWs a cult.

Should Difference of Opinion Be Squelched On Sites Such As FB or Twitter?
by minimus ini think that for the most part, dissenting views should be allowed to exist because of free speech principles.
one person may strongly feel that something is true while someone else may present “facts” that support the opposing view.
when that is the case, healthy discussion is mostly productive.

Charlie Brown you are putting apples and oranges together. Classic of the left and their ignorant followers. First off to tell someone who owns a business and provides a service that they must preform that service I.E a cake with something they disagree on is not the same as providing a public platform for communications and then telling people what they have a right to say and not say is not even in the same ball park, not even the same game.
If someone is a photographer and does not want to be part of a gay wedding, there should be freedom of that person to decline based on their beliefs. What you are saying is the same thing is like ATT saying we don't like this group so we will not let them use our telephone system.
This can cut both ways in that if someone does not like blacks they can say I don't like burn loot murder so they can not use my electric service to power their printing presses. There are degrees of separation. In one scenario you say that making someone participate directly in the thing they are against or is antithetical to their belief system is the same as someone using your product to produce a thing or spread an idea you do not agree with. not only this but your question cuts both ways. If you are saying people have the right to cut off anything they own for use to someone who they don't like or agree with, then you must say that any one can deny anyone anything if they so choose. So we are back to the Woolworth lunch counter.
The owners of Fuckbook and Twit provide a platform for others to set up their own space. Like leasing someone a space in a mall. Unless they are doing something illegal its not up to you to tell them what they can and can not do or how they can do it, just because you may or may not agree with the idea. A better analogy would be you make a product that decorates cakes. You will not sell to anyone who uses your decorator kit to make gay cakes or anything that is against your ideology. You are several degrees away from actually being involved in the end product. Unlike the person who makes the cakes or caters the event.
There is a huge difference in telling someone I will not put have a great rump ranger wedding night on a cake and selling a blank cake and the person who bought your plain cake puts that logo on it. The cake maker should have no control over what the thing is used for one its in the hands of the user. That is their responsibility.
We see this twisted logic used by the left and their useful idiots all the time. The left wants to make gun manufactures responsible for the misuse of their guns. this is like telling GM they are responsible for an accident because the Corvette involved was designed to go faster then the speed limit. But logic and Liberals are in fact antithetical.
