  Memorial Attendances This Year

  by steve2 in

  have attendance figures at this year's memorial been released yet, including number of partakers?

  sometimes the kingdom ministry (now called christian life and ministry) provided local figures say for the country.. for two to three years the worldwide figure has hovered around the 19 plus million, with a drop off in attendance last year.. just wondered if there has been any change this year or if the downward trend has continued?

  If that's true, then it's bad news as the Spanish field is desperately in need of apostate attention. I would gladly work to set up a replacement. How sure are you of this?

  The man is going down and taking the party with him. What a disaster.
  

  The consequences of this fool's disastrous campaign will ripple around for years to come.

  There's a difference between supporting someone in spite of their shortcomings, as opposed to because of them. I won't deny that Hillary has her faults. I cringe every time she talks about taking on Wall Street, or the evils of NAFTA. She's lined her pockets with both of them.

  It's more than "shortcomings". She has scandal after scandal following her around, showing a dark, quasi-corrupt side of her. Then she lies to cover-up said scandals. She lied about Benghazi, she lied about her emails, she lied about the Clinton Foundation and a few other big ones.

  Perhaps it isn't fair to categorize every Trump supporter as misogynistic, racist and intellectually bankrupt. Some are just horribly misguided.

  ...some are, I agree. But many aren't. They might not be a "Trump supporter" per se, but what does one who is not a Democrat and believes the Democrat policies are harmful to this country do? They might not want a liberal supreme court, higher taxes, $15/h min wage, more gov control of healthcare, more executive decisions, more political correctness, higher national debt, more welfare etc etc.
  

  .....
  

  It seems there is another option for those on the right, like me, that can't vote Trump (a major longshot at best):

  Nope, this IS what the republican party is. This is what they've been preaching on Fox News forever. That is what the GOP's "Southern Strategy" was all about. After years of this sort of rhetoric, are we surprised by what we're getting with Trump as the GOP's candidate?

  I disagree. There is obviously a big problem within a minority in the Republican base that voted to nominate Trump as their candidate. However, this is not a majority of the Republican party members, nor does this fact take away from the real policy issues at hand.

  Yes, there are "low information", even foolish members in the base of the right (obviously since Trump won). But the same thing can be said of the left. It would be unfair to generalize the left as "corrupt, lying, cheating hypocrites" because of the scandals surrounding Hillary. I can also start posting all the crazy nonsense some in the Democrat base have said and continue saying, but it accomplishes nothing, because I know it's not what all Democrats believe or want.

  You have to remember that there are big issues involved and that there is a serious internal conflict with those that do not want the policies of the left, which they believe to be harmful to the country, yet don't support the stupid actions of a stupid man called Trump. I myself have decided I can't vote for Trump. Even if Hillary wins, it's something I have to live with, because ethically I can't bring myself to vote for this loser. Having said that, I can understand why some would be reluctant to jump to that conclusion and give their country up to the left again for another 4 years. Everyone has to come to their own conclusion, but we have to stop attacking people and belittling them for their different perspectives.
  

  I wish we would all take a step back, right, left, center or in between, and remember that we are not all one way or another. We in the right are NOT all Trump supporting wing nuts, as can be seen by the huge and growing group of dissenters not supporting the candidate.

  We are humans, all of us. We all have the same interests in just wanting to live our lives, and leave a better world for our children to take over once we are gone. I wish we'd all stop screaming at each other, generalizing and painting everyone one way or another. I wish we'd stop attacking the persons, and instead focus on common sense measures that increase our rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

  P.S. Maybe I should run for President lol

  I lean right and am a registered Republican.
  

  I don't support Trump. He's an idiot.
  

  Having said that, i also don't support most of Hillary's and the Democratic party's policies.

  Please, not all that consider voting for Trump are "misogynists, stupid or dumb".

  Are Jehovah`s Witnesses of today, aware, or even care about their early history of the 1800`s ?

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the 1960`s when i was a new convert , a 20 year old , i devoured the book "jehovahs witnesses in the divine purpose" outlining the early history of the restoration of true christianity in the world.it helped to convince me then that this was indeed the true religion......not that i remember much of the details it contained nowadays .. i understand there was a poor attempt to mimic it with the " proclaimers " book a much sanitized version of the early history of the jw religion.

  what reputable organization in the world ,secular ,religious or otherwise ,doctors their own early history/ beginnings unless they have something to hide or are ashamed of.. how many jw`s today would know that they were formed as the " international bible students association" in the late 1800`s , or that their first president of that association was none other than w.h.conley ,and not c.t.russell.. does it even matter ?

  does anybody really care ?.

  I recently chatted online (through a FB alias account) to a current JW. When I started telling her stories about some of the things Russel said and did, she told me it mattered not to her, since "the first JW goes way back to Abel, not Russel".

  So there you go.
