  Headline: "Islamic Invasion: Europe now scrambles for guns." How true is this?

  a year to a year and a half ago, i would have taken this article at face value and believed it.. now, i realize this article comes from a dubious source.

  world news daily has a die-hard right-wing bias.

  so, in an effort to get real information, i'm asking my european exjw's, is this article all true?

  Being kind and compassionate to those who need a home doesn't mean we need to tolerate those who would do evil.

  Agreed .. but how on earth does one tell the difference.

  Simon:

  These are not terrorists or ISIS, there are people fleeing from them. They need help, nothing more. The notion that Russia is fighting ISIS is laughable -

  I think the performance of the US is even more laughable..

  I guess is depend on which version of the news you watch.

  If you were genuinely running for your life from a war torn country you would find safety and asylum in the nearest neutral country to you. You would certainly not need to travel through 7 European countries merely to reach the richest.
  
  Rather than claiming asylum in the first safe EU country they reach, most head on toward wealthy northern states.
  
  Only 44,000 of the 213,000 refugees who arrived in Europe were from Syria. A further 27,000 new arrivals on the continent came from Afghanistan. Only one in every five migrants claiming asylum in Europe is from Syria.
  
  Most people who are escaping the war will go to camps in Lebanon or Jordan. Many of those who have opted to risk their lives to come to Europe have done so for economic reasons.
  
  The whole argument has been made that this influx is all real refugees from Syria whereas this adds to the substantial evidence that there are a large number of economic migrants who are aiming for a better life.
  
  The figures from Eurostat, the EU's official statistical agency, show that migration from April to June was running at double the level of the same period in 2014. The number of Afghans lodging asylum claims is up four-fold, from 6,300 to 27,000. Another 17,700 claims were made by Albanians, whose country is at peace.

  
  

  Migrants from the Balkans account for 45 per cent of asylum applications in Germany.
  
  They outnumber genuine refugees from Syria, with 29,747 applying for asylum from Kosovo in the first five months of 2015, compared to 26,250 from Syria.

  And why the oil-rich middle eastern countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates and etc are not an option for refugees to consider.

  I've known about TTATT since i've been 18, im now 22 going on 23 but still go to meetings because of parents. Pretty standard for someone who is still living at home.

  I can never understand things like this.. if my parents are cultists.. I would not follow them in their cult out of sheer politeness.

  just a wee warning on following links to jwtalk (jwt).

  if you are a member there then it is very easy for the mods to identify if you have come in from this site.

  they will then ban you.. so, if you are member here and trying to lurk there then don't click on any links to jwt, just copy and paste the link into a new browser tab..

  Far fewer references to lesbians

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i notice that while a search of the wt library reveals many references to homosexuals, there are few references to lesbians.. does the wts include women when it uses the term homosexual?.

  when discussing masturbation, does it mention both sexes?.

  i am asking out of pure ignorance, seeking clarification.. my only comment is that religion of every shade has difficulty with the subject of sexual activity, as if it were something that is not part of nature.. doug.

  The Org really has little faith in its men.. homosexuality is almost entirely used in a male context.. and even child abuse they believe is an entirely all male activity.

  On their website in an article on protecting children from sexual abuse the abuser is described as exclusively male using the term 'he' 18 times in just 4 paragraphs to describe the perpetrator.

  http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/102007362?q=child+abuse&p=par

  A PATTERN OF SEDUCTION
  An abuser is likely to be too clever to use force on his victims. Rather, he may prefer to seduce children gradually. He begins by selecting a target, often a child who seems vulnerable and trusting, thus relatively easy to control. Next, he singles out that child for special attention. He may also try to win the trust of the child’s parents. Molesters are often expert at pretending to be sincerely interested in the child and the family.
  In time, the molester will begin grooming the child for abuse. He gradually becomes more physical with the child through innocent-looking displays of affection, playful wrestling, and tickling. He may give generous gifts and begin to separate the child from friends, siblings, and parents, in order to spend time alone with the child. At some point he may ask the child to keep some minor secret from the parents—perhaps a gift or plans for some future excursion. Such tactics set the stage for seduction. When the abuser has won the child’s trust and that of the parents, he is ready to make his move.
  Again, he is likely to be subtle about it rather than violent or forceful. He may exploit the child’s natural curiosity about sex, offering to act as a “teacher,” or he may suggest that they play a “special game” together that only they will know about. He may try exposing the child to pornography in order to make such behavior seem normal.
  If he succeeds in molesting the child, he is now eager to ensure that the child does not tell anyone about it. He may use a variety of tactics, including threats, blackmail, and blame, or perhaps a combination of these. For example, he may say: “It’s your fault. You didn’t tell me to stop.” He may add: “If you tell your parents, they’ll call the police and send me to jail forever.” Or he may say: “It’s our secret. If you tell, no one will believe you. If your parents ever do find out, I will hurt them.” There is no end to the devious and malicious tactics such individuals will try.

  Not a single she to be found.

  Since 1986 the term 'lesbianism' seems to have been used only 4 times in Watchtower literature and the term 'lesbian' 11 times.

  'Homosexual' 68 times.. and 'homosexuality' 142 times.
  

  So it seems they think the boys are at it more then the girls.
