Lol old riddle/theoretical jw question. I usually argued “no” as its a hold over from the womb and those resurected wouldnt have needed it. Others argued it would be anatomically weird to not have it and as a kindness the desert god would provide one.

conversation with a JW about the sun
by neat blue dog injw: didn't we just hear somebody say that the sun's gonna blow up?.
me: well, they were saying that it will expand and eventually burn out.. jw: but it can't do that, it just keeps blowing up inside and getting more power.. me: well, they were talking about stars in general, how they have a life span.. jw: but god didn't make it that way, it's firmly established to time indefinite.
it's not like the sun is a regular star.

Well, honestly, if you buy the concept of an almighty god then your view was scientific and consistent :)
but im with you, the sky daddy thing is embarassing at this point but all religions share it.

Embarrassingly when I was a JW I thought that god would just refuel the sun to prevent it from depleting hydrogen
Thats not embarassing. Its science fiction, that is to say science based understanding taken to a conclusion man cannot currently reach. Your principle is sound, if the desert god indeed created all things, “refueling” the sun is both possible and likely. Hardly the most embarassing thing to have believed.

Blood Card Issue
by pometerre21 ini posted this on r/exjw, but i thought i might post it here as well.
so the elders in our kh are moving to get us to sign new simplified blood cards and keep them on file.
i really need to not rock the boat in my current pimo status because of circumstances.. my cousin knows i have doubts about the blood thing, but i can’t show her that my doubts are getting to me.

Look... the card is irrelevant unless your unconscious and the card is in your wallet. If you want to play the game just sign the card and then dont keep it in your wallet. Unless some elder is right next to you and you cannot speak for yourself its pointless. Your stated wishes (yes i will take blood) will always supplant the card. Sign it and keep moving. If you dont want to be bullied then be strait about it and say “im not signing, i will make my wishes known when and if its necessary”.

I was quite tolerant of this guy until now
by never a jw inpresident trump is definitely a demagogue, a populist, and not a great extemporaneous speaker, just to mention few of his more conspicuous flaws.
however, i was going along because "it's the economy stupid".
now that has changed.

If the administration had imposed a rule requiring all gov funded projects to use american steel i would have applauded. Keep american tax dollars in america, although i wonder how much that would really be, but as a policy i love that.
Imposing terrifs is a bad idea on so many levels. I get his view that cheap steel from overseas is being financed by foreign governments and therefore its impossible for american steel to compete... but these terrifs will have huge ripples and the prices simply passed on to american consumers. It amounts to a back door tax increase.

Morpheus,
Trump is not the first one and he won't be the last. My problem is that either protectionists like Trump don't learn from lessons of the past or don't care. Either way is bad policyOn that you and i agree. At this point i can only hope someone talks sense to him or that this is some negotiating stance. Time will tell.
