The Ride
by eyeuse2badub inthe ride!.
about 2 weeks ago i went on a one day motorcycle ride with about 50-60 other jw’s.
(at least most of them claimed to be dubs) it’s an event that 2 jw fleshly brothers put on every year.

there was not even a mention of jw stuff all day long
of course not. even at the hall, before or after the meetings, there is no discussion of jw stuff. If you ever would bring up the subject: you'd be considered a trouble maker.
The only jw stuff discussed before the meetings by some, is the practise session for the insane demonstrations, or after the meeting in the back room, the "not inheriting the kingdom" themes.

To ride a motorcycle , you have to have good balance where do you find that many JWs with that within a 100 km/60 mile radius?

For our Canadian EX JW's ... Your own Rambo
by Giordano inmontreal — it is a plot worthy of hollywood: a courageous, one-eyed soldier single-handedly liberates a dutch city during world war ii, tricking a german officer into believing the city is surrounded.just in case there are any doubters, he rampages through the streets throwing grenades, firing his rifle and — in a final act of defiance — lights the gestapo headquarters on fire.now more than 70 years later, the soldier, léo major, a onetime farmer from montreal, is getting wide recognition in canada after an hourlong documentary about his life was shown last month on radio-canada, the national broadcaster.
the news media dubbed him “quebec’s rambo.”.
from the ny times:.

Canada is what keeps us protected and we keep them protected.,
Hope so, a great country, now the buffer zone between the US and Russia, great warriors too. They have the town of Ladysmith in BC to celebrate their part in putting down the Boers, Dutch in South Africa, the other side of the globe.

We bought a pipeline that leaks like a sieve
by hoser init looks like justin trudeau and his comrades caved in to kinder morgans artificial deadline and bought the transmountain pipeline for 4.5 billion taxpayer dollars.
its not a bad deal if they actually finish the expansion.
if not we just bailed out an american company and are on the hook for 4 and a half billion.

and is not the trans mountain pipeline to be build purposed to sell the hard to extract Tar Sand oil offshore, so we have less Alberta supply oil here, and keep the domestic price high?

As a coincidence there was an one eyed JW named Major in la Belle Provence in the 50-70. a handsome and genuine human being.
As to the events, believable. "handing back rifles to german soldiers?" not a good idea!-- . In an infamous incident, A German marine, of part Jewish parentage ( race laws should have precluded him from "serving"), obtained in Holland an allied leaflet encouraging surrender, protection. - He deserted, hid among the population and turned himself in, with it, to the Canadians when they arrived. Put, notwithstandingly, into a large camp, with some of the men from his former unit, he was discovered, courtmartialed. The Canadian officer * in charge supplied rifles* to the Germans to execute the exposed and unprotected teenager. so: Do not re- arm germans. Most were more than eager to give up anyway, to get back to their families. (as my grandfather did at the beginning of WW1}
* Questioned about the ethics in such a situation, he replied: It was our business to kill germans, this was just another method. Things like that made take "the truth" Rev 11: 18, and question it now.

Nature is amazing :)
by LoveUniHateExams ini studied biology at uni and specialised in animal biology (wolf behaviour) but i've always liked natural history.. even if i never went to uni, i'd still be amazed by nature and i'd still watch nature programs on tv.. i'd like start a thread where posters can post nature clips that are in some way amazing.. the vid below shows wild wolves in the canadian arctic encountering humans for the first time.. these wolves haven't been exterminated by human hunters and therefore haven't learnt to fear humans.
result: wild wolves approach human strangers almost like dogs.
pretty cool.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izgavk7fovu .

just in case you think the pandas are being petted in the paradise in the rest of the globe, wolfs and the like are tearing flocks herds in Wyoming, Germany and other wild places. Ny be the guy did not smell too appetizing.
During a rest in the Rockies, a mountain sheep gave me a good licking with her tongue, to get her share of the salty sweat. Waton, the walking salt lick. Yesterday the wife had a humming bird linger in the mist spray during the plant watering.

(both) jehovah’s witnesses and marxist communists concern themselves with something called “the end of history.”.

Well I spend time in police custody in Marx's East German embodiment, and slaving for WT , for the benefit of that "elite" so: getting wise to their ways, Walstrom.

In Marxist theory, a Capitalist Society pits an Elite against Have-nots. Those with power, wealth and privilege exploit poor, disenfranchised underclasses struggling to keep their head above water.
There is different elites. Take the Elite of the left, the Merkels in Europe, they have the agenda to destroy the pesky aboriginals by importing hordes of strangers of an even lower caste, 80% of which do not come to work.
Take the entrenched Government elite in North America, they too like to broaden their base by importing more of the exploitable.
The Rich elites, that is something else. Some of the Nouveau Riches, the Gates, Bezos., Musks disprove Marx, they do great things, regardless.
WT theology? They want to keep the slave system going, Onesimus et al.
Even in paradise wt minions think they are going to give "assignments" to the slaves.
now you have to slave disown yourself to survive Armageddon,
then for a thousand years they want us to slave to get perfection. Marx would max out.

The emotional environment among hormone laden teenagers, resentment between in and out cliques, all play a part, and absolute rejection, frustration will led to an absolute response.
Humans should be spaced apart, only one or two to a km^2
Wait until we have ~ 100 billion perfect bodies, teenager-like, after the end of the millennium, when they come out of the four corners of the ring for the final boxing match. guns blazing.
