Maybe person "M" is intentionally doing this to trash the site/forum so people don't come here ?

Overload it with politics rather than things associated with JWS ???

Splane's "Apostate" talk transcript

for any who can't (like me) muster the masochism necessary to sit through an 18-or-so hour commentary on a 30 minute talk from a certain famous/infamous commentator, here is a link to a transcript from splane's saturday afternoon "apostate" talk:.

https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/ot7z2e/splanes_apostate_rant_transcription/.

there are many topics worthy of consideration, but this particular section really stood out to me:.

One must remember and keep in mind the reason the WTS did what they did in such a irresponsibly way in situations of pedophilia within the organization is because the bible told them what to do, such as were there two witnesses, did the accused admit to the act, if not then well they should leave the matter in Jehovah's hands.

Some did admit to the act and were just DFed temporarily.

The victims were pressured to not go to the law authorities about the matter because that would essentially bring reproach onto Jehovah's earthly arrangement, so most didn't.

Logical Fallacy… can I get some help here?

by DATA-DOG in

dr. leanna wen is currently spreading the fallacy that unvaccinated persons should have vaccines mandated because they are like drunk drivers… they have the right to be drunk at home she says, but wanting to be part of society at large without being vaccinated is like driving drunk and putting others at risk.

besides ignoring the science proving that persons who have had sars cov-2 have natural immunity that equals or exceeds anything that could be imparted from the mrna shot, without the side effects or need for boosters, ( sorry big pharma, you’ll be losing $$$ ) this illustration just smacks of illogical reasoning.

it reminds me of the borg comparing getting baptized to getting your driver’s license.

Once a patient is hospitalized their chances of death greatly increase and I doubt anyone disagrees with that statement.

Really ?

So the treatments that doctors are doing right now and have been doing are futile and digressive toward healing people while they are there under treatment ?

......and you know that because you yourself are an active practicing doctor ?

I think there would be tens of thousands of doctors all around the world that would disagree with that statement .

Faucci was/is well aware of early treatment options, and has been for some time. Existing, preventative treatments that actually work when administered early, like Ivermectin, and HCQ would preclude the emergency authorization of MRNA products by law. Products that Faucci is heavily invested in.

Your going to the absurd DD, get some rest

Its official DD your a conspiracy theorist nutter

Bola , did you just want to be spiritually anointed so that you would acquire supernatural powers so that you could come to earth along with Jesus and Zap all the evil doers ?

I mean that's admirable in thought I guess

What Splane was saying in all of his talk was that true devoted followers of the organization should hold up and support all doctrinal activities with diligent unwavering faith.

.......and Jah is watching that your doing that

What do you call people who forcefully make others do things to protect themselves and maybe the organization they head from legal punishment for their activities ?

Remember when the Org made the order for all congregations to destroy all printed information about certain members who may have committed pedophilia ?

But in the past few years I've noticed this site is becoming more and more based around politics, right wing politics in particular.

I have the same feelings and I've been posting on this site for over 16 years.

A lot of people who were here for a long time have left, Flipper, Blondie, Cofty to mention a few, it used to be a nice place for new ones exiting the JW religion.

Now right wing politics are taking up most of the thread topics and propagated.

.....sad

Dems and useful idiots take private property.

by mickbobcat in

this is nothing but illegal.

telling people that they can not evict a dead beat renter for not paying rent while the land owner has to pay for repairs, insurance, taxes and a mortgage is such a private property grab.

any one who votes for these assholes is a total idiot.

There was a subsidy grant by the US government that handed out money to both landlords and tenants who were in need due to income loss relating to the pandemic..

Now that the pandemic problem is just about over the Gov. is lifting this no eviction law and the grant money.

If people are just lazy not wanting to go back to work, then they should be lawfully evicted and the landlord should have that right.

Electric Vehicles ... or Auto Unions?

by Simon in

apparently biden had an electric vehicle summit earlier this week.. tell me the first name that comes to mind when it comes to electric vehicles?.

tesla ... right?

they have practically defined the segment after all.. but which company wasn't invited to biden's electric vehicle summit?.

Rocketman123

There is no doubt its a sales pitch for EVs but the information is what it is.

There other relevant circumstances to be told as well as you pointed out HP

A little off topic... I'll be moving...

by Expanded-Mind in

i'd appreciate getting some opinions about a decision i will shortly have to make.. i am moving soon and have the choice of two different apartments in two different towns.

i am hoping this move will be one of the last that i have to make - i have moved frequently in my life - at least for a long, long while.. the apartment i like the least is in a town and a location that i love due to my history with, and connection to the area.

the apartment i love is in a town and location i am not as crazy about, but it is still a really nice area.

I would make a balanced decision upon what is around locally such as Rec centers. libraries coffee shops, stores, closeness to work and of course nature to take in.

Mind you I wouldn't personally live in a large city area full of high rises, noise and pollution even if all of those accommodations were there.
