  any truth to the thought that instead of being considered "members" of the jw organization, that they will shortly be considered only as "individuals" of the organization?.

  what`s wrong with american politics ?.

  96% of american people who got off there arse to vote, chose hillary clinton to be president of the united states of america over donald trump.. and the electoral college overode the will of the majority of the people who bothered to vote , and gave the office of president to donald trump who was the 2nd choice, an also ran , of the will of the people.. it`s a furphy to say that some larger blue/red states can dictate to smaller red/blue states or vice versa to rig the elections ,simply because people can, and do change there preferences in any one state whether it be traditionally red or blue.. both democrats and republicans are both guilty and responsible for the gerrymander that is the electoral college.. there i`ve said it ,.

  nobody else seems to be able to say it how it is ,.

  Ok ,I did quote what you said in your post about 96% of pollsters claiming that Hillary got that amount of votes Simon ,my bad .

  It is a discussion forum isn`t it ? At least I got four likes in my OP .Why do people get so personal in their attacks ?

  Thank you Sigfrid Mallozi for giving a balanced non inflammatory answer to my baited question without resorting to a personal attack on me.

  But I do thank you all for responding to my post.And as you will note I did expect a backlash from it.

  And got it .

  Polls Vs. Crowds

  when i see polls suggesting trump has a 95% chance to lose the presidency, according to drudge report, which is now totally liberal, and i see the huge crowds of trump supporters as opposed to the 20 people showing up for biden rallies, i have to wonder what i should believe.

  do i believe my lying eyes or am i totally messed up?.

  2 Watch Tower Magazines published at the same time

  2. beliefs

  we all know that the name "watch tower" is not unique to the society.

  there were papers that used that title prior to the society.

  but did you know that the advent christian church (to which russell affiliated with) published a journal called the watch tower?.

  Simon

  Couldn't it mean the polls were way off? These are the same people who gave Hillary a 96% likelihood of victory.

  Don`t the polls reflect who the majority of voters are leaning towards ? The will of the people ?

  Whereas the Electoral College has no bearing whatsoever on the polls.?

  So how can you honestly say the polls were way off ?

  It`s the Electoral College who overode the will of the people . And gave the Presidency to Donald Trump .

  in south korea, draft resisters still go to prison.

  but now it’s a job.. a court ruled that conscientious objectors must be allowed to serve their country in other ways.

  Just as a perusal read it does seem like a step in the right direction ? Though there is a long way to go yet.

  There is some great words of wisdom for you to follow Scarlett _Martin given to you on this forum if you just take the time to absorb it all in without rushing in and doing something foolish like tossing yourself .That doesn`t solve anything and just adds grief to all those you never knew, who loved you.

  Believe me, it may sound like a clique , however its true that "time does heal everything" so do that give it time , and use the WT `s tact of using "Theocratic warfare" and use it against them to your advantage .
