  Ugh, the last thing we need is another old, white guy as POTUS.

  The median age upon accession to the presidency is 55 years and 3 months.

  Trump was the oldest president sworn-in at 70 years 220 days. John F. Kennedy was the youngest elected president at 43 years 236 days.

  Joe Biden, who is 77 years old, is now the youngest man vying for the Democratic presidential nomination.

  Recommended Reading for ExJWs: Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

  by Jehalapeno in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  first off, this is a book you want to read.

  avoid the movie franchise at all costs.

  horrible movies.. here's why i recommend this book: its prime focus is using rational reasoning to form your life philosophy - whether that be relationships, career or faith.. it also gives insight into the mind of someone who survived the geopolitical equivalent of the jws - the communist regime of stalin.. the antagonists of the book are referred to as "collectivists".

  JY: Rand . . . did not live by her own crazy ideology.

  True dat.

  In spite of her claiming to be fiercely individualistic and her development of the Objectivist philosophy, she ultimately was a cult leader of sorts.

  Nevertheless, Anthem is a very accessible work and can help fading and faded JWs to work through their cult indoctrination.

  “parents train your children to love jehovah “.

  the title says it all really, but par 6 has this piece of advice.. “jesus likened our time to “the days of noah,” and there is no doubt that we are living in “critical times hard to deal with.” (matt.

  Jehovah’s Witnesses (and their predecessor, Charles Taze Russell) have been proclaiming “The End is Near” since 1879.

  It must suck to be wrong for over 140 years.

  It would be funny except for all the lives that have been ruined.

  Let’s review: It’s a cult!

  If this becomes a full-blown pandemic, which seems likely, this could result in more deaths worldwide than the Spanish flu early last century.

  minimus: This problem is certainly something that should be tackled by both parties in unison. It should not be a political issue.

  Agreed.

  And of course it's not Trump's fault, but it would be prudent to appoint qualified people to address the situation, not a couple of finance guys and then hope for "a miracle."

  That's just irresponsible.

  Name one POSITIVE thing you took from your experience as a Witness

  2. experiences

  i was thinking about this at work the other day, and realized the one positive thing i can truly credit the jws with: .

  i have no fear of public speaking.

  i was a shy kid, fat, clumsy, with crooked glasses and worse teeth, who wore hand-me-downs in one of the wealthiest counties in all of america, who sat still while classmates got up to salute the flag or recite the pledge of allegiance.

  I was 3 grades ahead of other kids in school with my reading.

  That could only be true for children in grades 3 or 4 and below as the WT and all JW publications (in the last few decades) are written at a 6th or 7th grade level.
