  Biden running in 2024 🤣

  i've filed this under news and world events, although i could've posted it under entertainment, lol.

  apparently, joe biden will be seeking re-election for another term in the white house.. this, despite a recent poll showing that 70% of people don't want him to run again.. biden just has to be the worst president i've seen.

  his gaffes, over-relience on a prompter, and, more than any other president, his refusal to answer journalists' questions, all go to make him top of the list in terms of bad presidents.. it will certainly provide entertainment, if nothing else..

  The incident was way beyond the statute of limitations for a criminal charge.

  New York State passed a ONE-YEAR exception for CIVIL cases in late fall of 2022, the bar is lower for a guilty finding "Only a pre ponderous of evidence" is needed.

  Trump admitted (bragged) "grabbing women he wanted by "the pu....y" on TAPE a couple of times. A half dozen women had made accusations of just that, and a couple testified in court about him doing exactly that. So the jury simply took him at his word.

  About 17% of Americans will vote for Trump no matter what he says or does. The far-right Republican base has a lot of sway during primaries. So only time will tell what Trump's future will be.

  The extreme Left is about the same.

  Perhaps the 76-year-old and the 80-year-old will have strokes or heart attacks during debates.......

  331 MILLION Americans...and these are the two most qualified??????

  Opening doors, putting your foot in the door and other dangerous activities

  by Anony Mous in

  i was listening to the news and there is this big brouhaha about someone shooting someone through their front door.

  apparently the person tried to open the door of an elderly person, scaring the homeowner and they shot a gun injuring the person.

  obvious castle doctrine case.. which made me remember a rather overzealous old pioneer that used the same tactics when he knew the homeowners were home but didn’t want to come to the door, he would start opening the storm doors and try to see if the door was unlocked so he could yell inside.

  In the USA the law changes from state to state and enforcement from county to county. Many "Red" states have "Stand your ground laws" which apply even outside your home. "Castle" doctrine is your residence or recreational vehicle "home". In California, they have to come through the door (threshold). Some California DAs push to have the homeowner withdraw further inside before using violence.

  However, if the homeowner has been a crime victim, or has been watching a steady stream of crime TV and have a gun, they are thinking about RIGHT NOW, not what the local District Attorney MIGHT think....add in some dementia or a cocktail...and it could be "deep sleep time" for an unexpected visitor.

  After these recent unexpected visitor shootings and the mass Kingdom Hall shooting in Germany, I would hope most JWs would re-think door-to-door protocols. Folks an imaginary angel will not protect you.

  Breaking News: Anthony Morris III no longer serving on the Governing Body

  The announcement about Tony was made on 2/23/23? So I wonder for how long the GB knew he was going? How much time did legal and the desk have to prepare?

  Watchtower could have rented a place....but with lots of experienced free labor why do that? Why not buy a decent but older place and remodel it? A number of single-family brownstones had been purchased or inherited in Brooklyn Heights over the years and converted into multi-family "flats" for Bethelites and visiting professionals (dentists, etc.).

  For fun, I did a search for completed real-estate sales between February and April for Lumberton and places within 5 miles. Well-priced properties due for remodeling that could provide housing for at least two couples or traveling headquarter staff (Lumberton is on the main highway, halfway between New York and Florida).

  One large old 50s home with a big pool attracted my attention. Why? Because someone had made the unusual demand to have the old Multiple listing service AND Google remove inside and street photos of the property...unusual... unless you are paranoid... or in witness protection...or work for the Defense dept. :) However, this is all conjecture. I would buy this myself for only the "reported" price of 200k!!! 4 bed, 3 bath, 2932 sq ft. on 4 acres with a huge pool. 204 W 22nd St, Lumberton, NC 28358 ??? Only time will tell. 100% conjecture.

  by flipper in

  2. friends

  of course this has been hashed and re-hashed as all of you know the feb. 15th wt is re-directing jw's to read the title of rutherford's talk as " millions now living may never die.

  " however in reading crisis of conscience a second time - i found it interesting to see what ray franz said about this quote.. remember he wrote this book in 1983 , so keep it in mind when reading his quotes about this " millions " quote.

  Young "Elders"

  by XBEHERE in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ever since the annual meeting last october and the letter to bodies of elders stating that "exceptional young men perhaps in their early 20's could qualify for appointment as elders.." it even states this in the updated elders manual!

  have any of you pimo's, pimq's, or those on here with family/friends still in hear of any young men being appointed as elders yet?

  i am talking 21, 22, 23, 24 etc.

  I think it is a great idea. It will further demoralize the rank and file, and weaken Watchtower.

  Are you sure you really want your children to become JWs? Take some time to acquaint yourself with ALL their doctrines first. A quick site for you and your wife to scan is: "JWfacts". A very condensed examination by a former Elder and headquarters worker.
