    James Thomas Rook Jr. got a reaction from JW Insider in Temperature wars happen in the office, at home, in the car — anywhere really. This wrist-mounted...   
    Next, there will be an electric space heater suppository.

    Agreed;
    Watching "mainstream news" is like being stabbed by an angry clown while drowning in a septic tank.

    The reason the United States has many more prisoners than other countrues is that FREEDOM is allowed for people that have not grown up enough to handle it.
    Also ... we count the WHOLE person.
    In other countries they count less because of missing hands, and sometimes even missing heads.
    You probably don't need to imprison a thief that has had both hands cut off.
    And of course, public executions do tend to cut down on the repeat offenders, quite a bit.

    I have found that if one is inclined to be gobsmacked, to always wear the same color shirt (or blouse ..) as your toothpaste.
    I has the added advantage of always being minty fresh, and you NEVER have to change it.

    Nor have I ever seen one of Trump’s rallies, due to my usual objection about video. 
    Of course, I have seen clips of them as presented on media, where they are carefully culled to make them appear hate-laden, yet even there, sometimes they reveal the wishes of the media more than that of the Pres—the media being primarily left of center, by over 90%.

    JTR may be Captain America, but he does have a point here.
    From what I have read he was pretty much that way himself—his excellence was in cunnning. During WWII, his son was captured by the Germans and he was given opportunity to ransom him. He declined the offer and the son died in a concentration camp.

    James Thomas Rook Jr. got a reaction from Srecko Sostar in Large Group of Native Americans in Mexico Violently Expelled from their Homeland Due to Converting to the Jehovah's Witnesses Religion   
    I thought one of our missions was to "overturn strongly entrenched things"?
    I know that when I do, it is not a waste of MY time, as it proves, in trial by combat with REAL enemies ( not some sham fantasy) that my theology is correct.
    There is no substitute for victory!

    ANYBODY can make a medical diagnosis at a distance , and the older you get, and the more experienced you get, the better a person will be at it.
    At least that is the usual case.
    With enough experience, you can go to an "Indiana Jones" movie, like "Raiders of the Lost Ark", and when the Nazis show up, a flash of brilliance will cross you mind, and INSTANTLY you will know in this story who the Bad Guys are.
    When their face melts off, it gets even more evident.

    I know it sounds as though shedding neutrality myself, but in the Pres vs Media war, it is not that I am pro-former. But I am anti-latter, I freely admit.
    If there is some new family-undermining meme or some new morality sure to turn society upside down, media instantly embraces it—they are all over it—so anything that gets them apoplectic cannot be all that bad. 
    It’s the same with warring against business-as-usual government. (He wars with everyone!) To call him a bull in a china shop, one must accept the premise that the latter is a china shop. Junkyard dog in a junkyard works better. The focus should be, not on the subject (bull vs junkyard dog—there will be little disagreement there), but on the object of the preposition (china shop vs junkyard)—here there is disagreement.
    It took me awhile to notice it, but those who hang their hats and hearts on the BITE model (of Behavioral, Informational, Thought, and Emotional “control”) that they see everywhere and apply to Jehovah’s Witnesses in a heartbeat are almost always leftists. They are almost always people who think that government as usual IS a china shop, albeit a deeply flawed one. On the issue of sovereignty, they almost always are ones who advocate “government by Man,”  and not “government by God.”
    It is very hard to shed all appearance of partisanship. For that reason, many of Jehovah’s Witnesses go further than they need to, in my opinion, and object if you even mention politics for fear of not staying neutral. Even Geoffrey Jackson, when he is lecturing on the importance of maintaining neutrality, acknowledges how hard it is to not think, “I hope that idiot does not come into power,” and it is impossible for me not to think what idiot he has in mind.

    People that have "Narcissistic Personality Disorder" will go to great lengths to prove, with distorted logic and reasoning that their viewpoint of the Universe ... centered on them ... is correct.
    You can prove them wrong a hundred times on any one subject, and they will NEVER accept it.
    I would not be surprised if Foreigner would ban himself/herself/themselves, just to appear to be correct, and then reappear as another entity, and say "see, I TOLD you so!"., thinking in their own mind that they were forced out by others.
    Whatever happens to NPD people who irritate, insult, disparage and malign everyone around them who think rationally ...  is NEVER their own fault.
    ... except that in reality ... it always is.

    They could build a roller coaster that disorients the riders by running through pitch black tunnels then super bright tunnels and the ride could be called "New Light Coaster". They could have the "Not So Fun House" with mechanical versions of Lett. Then ice cream stands where you pay for an ice cream and get nothing, because the money went to the "worldwide work".
    All the prizes are JW,org pins and tie clips and cufflinks.

    The fact that you call them “hate rallies” suggests a shedding of neutrality.

    Srecko Sostar:
    You have to understand where Foreigner and his alter egos are coming from.
    Every one of them has a severe case of (and this is a real thing, you can look up ...) Of "Narcissistic Personality Disorder", which governs every aspect of his/her/their thinking..
    There are people that have SOME of the symptoms, but he/her/them has/have consistently displayed most or all of them.
    It is compulsive, and they cannot stop being who he/her/they are, any more than a Watchtower Lawyer can  work for Justice, and not his client's fiduciary interests.

    James Thomas Rook Jr. got a reaction from JW Insider in VIDEO: Russian President Vladimir Putin, who turned 67, celebrated his birthday foraging for wild...   
    I remember reading about early America when in the Ohio River Valley Indians used to drive herds of millions of wild mushrooms over a cliff, and go down below and feast.
    ... nothing quite like sitting around a campfire at night, looking up at the stars above, with all your family and tribe, after a hard day's hunt, and  four pounds of mushrooms.
