Haha, dude I am very impressed at the research!  FTR I'd enter a Catholic church or a synagogue or a mosque before I ever set foot in another Kingdom Hall.

wol...jw....org is the only source of religious/life information approved by Witnesses . The "wol" stands for Watchtower Online Library.  It's the huge library of past Watchtowers and other various Witness books (there's a ton, as they started as a publishing company). Imagine the reverence Scientologists have for Hubbard's rants and writings...now multiply that by a hundred and you have Witnesses and Watchtower publications.

The earliest publications (and again, there's a ton) contain bat-freaking-a-monkey-excrement-insane information and prophecies. So the group only makes earlier stuff available to higher-ranking, more-indoctrinated members. I doubt there's an amazing Jesus-approved reason that all of of my uncles and aunts and MY OWN JW FATHER never want to speak to me or meet my awesome toddler son since I officially left.

(Not trying to turn this thread into my therapy session, my apologies haha....but please try not to join cults, guys)

Awesome post.

The closed captioning software trying to parse Pat Cipollone had to have been the most entertaining part of Tuesday's hearing.

I am once again begging Americans to stop electing senior citizens 20 years past retirement age as our most important leaders

Maybe they want to expand affirmative action for colleges to improve diversity of thought.

Only mildly political but Jesus Christ.

People get so anxious about climate change it's now a mental illness

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/06/30/climate-change-anxiety-is-real-expert-advice-on-what-to-do-about-it.html

Those feelings aren’t uncommon: In 2021, a global study found that 45% of people between the ages of 16 and 25 said climate anxiety was affecting their daily lives. The Climate Psychology Alliance even offers a directory of “climate-aware” therapists.

I can respect being passionate about the issue (I may disagree with them on the means, but it is a real issue and people need to have passion for something. So this is as good a issue as any)

But having it be a full blown mental illness causing anxiety that impacts your everyday life ? Very different

I'd have it if I lived at the beach or in Florida where it's getting ridiculous to insure against hurricanes.

It's kind of mind boggling how an issue as big as abortion was essentially ignored for 50 years, despite it not having the most concrete legal standing.

Surely the left has had numerous opportunities to codify abortion, especially when they've had super majorities

If they codified it, how would they fundraise on the threat of Republicans taking that choice away?

I saw a few clips of that Wyoming debate with Liz Cheney.  That excrement was Idiocracy in full effect.  It was Liz and then a bunch of Trump mutants that were too dumb to think.
