  children's medical care / women's health care

  by neat blue dog in

  a recent jwdotorg article called refusal of blood transfusions "children's medical care", and that reminded me of the often used phrase "women's health care".

  funny how both are euphemisms for death..

  Collapse of JW Org - Possibly on the Horizon?

  by JWTom in

  this topics get a great deal of discussion here.

  what i find interesting is even some of my pimi family is embracing the reality that all is not well with jw.org and that many current jws are just going through the motions due to not having a good way out of the org.

  wondering what could realistically lead to the collapse of jw.org in the not distant future?

  You're right, there are really over 20 million, if counted by the standards of any other religion. On the other hand, the 8 million figure is active PUBLISHERS, including many unbaptized children and adults who have been hanging on the fence for many years, so it's really less from that perspective. It's hilarious but ask any JW how many baptized JWs there are and probably 99 percent would say 8 million. Fact is, the figure has never been publicly revealed.

  so i doubt out of all the pimo's someone hasn't been able to leak that they had the annual meeting.

  does this mean that there was not one for the first time in jw history.

  thoughts?.

  They were probably relieved they didn't have to whip up another mundane "new understanding" of an obscure scripture at the last second to be the centerpiece of the thing.

  What`s wrong With American Politics ?

  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 ,.

  Eliminate the Oil Industry?

  by Anony Mous in

  1. social

  a lot of countries are on the side of eliminating the oil industry altogether as well as zero-emission alternatives like nuclear power.. in the us, biden has promised to eliminate all federal lands oil production when he takes power in 2021 (30% of the united states) as well as native american tribal lands which account for 8 percent of all oil, 9 percent of all natural gas, and 6 percent of all natural gas liquids from 96,000 wells (10% of the total wells in the us).. in europe, oil and gas production has been largely eliminated except for the nordic countries and the uk (which the eu recently lost access to), germany is funding a major oil pipeline as is china from russia and russian-controlled portions of ukraine, even after trump cut off all builders from russian oil pipelines, the russian government is now trying to build the pipeline themselves with potential disastrous results.. venezuela's economy collapsed largely due to the government taking over and eliminating the oil industry companies.. in the mean time, control for most non-us energy sources is now wholly dependent on russian and middle eastern governments.. california and germany eliminated oil-based energy sources and now mandate 30% of their power from 'green' wind and solar alternatives.

  germany energy costs now hover around 25c/kwh and california is not far behind with 16c/kwh both experiencing rolling blackouts in major cities and importing 60% of mostly coal and gas energy from their neighbors.. the world currently has 300 years worth of oil at the current rates of usage which have stagnated due to improved efficiencies.

  co2 emissions in the us have dropped in the last 3 years for the first time in decades despite (or because) reduced oil and gas regulations.. do you think given the above facts, eliminating the oil industry is a good thing?

  Biden Voter Fraud Admission

  by Simon in

  he's either admitting that they are relying on voter fraud, or he's a decrepit senile old fart who's unfit to be president.. which is it?.

  did he also just claim that they committed fraud to get obama elected?

  what a joke.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ma8a2g6ttp0.

  the life story in the latest wt has a running theme that keeps popping up: if the organization tells you to do something, you do it.

  this culminates in the following anecdote:.

  The life story in the latest WT has a running theme that keeps popping up: If the organization tells you to do something, you DO it. This culminates in the following anecdote:

  We were staying in a
  brother’s home right next to a Kingdom Hall.
  . . . the circuit overseer’s wife pre-
  pared a bath for us. . . To my
  surprise, the circuit overseer’s wife had
  placed them outside the house in direct
  view of the Kingdom Hall where brothers
  were helping with the preparations for the
  assembly. I asked her for a curtain of some
  kind. She brought me a sheet of transpar-
  ent plastic! . . . I thought
  to myself: ‘The brothers are too busy to
  notice that I am taking a bath. And if I don’t
  bathe, they will be offended. Let’s get on
  with it!’ So I did.

  I don't know but a strange example to include to say the least. Bathsheba anyone? 😅

  Bonus:

  There's a picture of her and her husband with a group of ALL sisters, but they put a little arrow just in case you didn't know which one was Harvey 🤣
