The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds Biden earning 50% support among Likely U.S. Voters to Trump’s 40%. Six percent (6%) remain undecided.

The survey of 1,500 Likely Voters was conducted July 5-7, 2020 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 2.5 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence.

When you lose Rasmussen by double-digits, well....yikes.

And as I've noted before, "50%" and above is the magic number. To win you've got to not only convince 100% of the undecideds but also change the minds of committed voters for the other guy.

Yes, I know the winner of the electoral college wins the presidency, but the overall polling reflects trends, and purple state polling results are similarly catastrophic for DJT.

Scriptures they use to justify disfellowshipping

by Lynnie in

does someone have a list of the scriptures the jw's use to justify shunning and disfellowshipping?

i know there are only a few..

sir82

Main one is 1 Corinthians 5:11-13:

But now I am writing you to stop keeping company with anyone called a brother who is sexually immoral
or a greedy person or an idolater or a reviler or a drunkard or an extortioner, not even eating with such a man. For what do I have to do with judging those outside? Do you not judge those inside, while God judges those outside? “Remove the wicked person from among yourselves."

Letter writing question

by carla in

so the jw's are no longer goind d2d but instead are writing letters- my question is what return address are they putting on the letters?

their own or the kh?

the kh's in our area have no mailbox and therefore no mail can be delivered or returned to a kh.. thanks in advance!.

sir82

Some use the KH address if it has a mailbox.

Some congregations rent a PO box.

Some JWs probably put their own home address.

Others might just leave the return address blank.

I’m Seeing Some Trump Fatigue Out There

i’ve heard from a few trump voters that they are getting tired of the whole trump thing.

one person yesterday said he lies.

another person said she hears from her clients in her business that the constant drama and push back from all sides against trump is fatiguing.. i remind people that before this worldwide pandemic, we had the best numbers in jobs.

sir82

Poster said "cases", not "deaths". My stats also refer to "cases".

I agree death count has been dropping, but keep in mind that the death rate lags behind the new infection rate. I expect to see a jump in death rates in mid-July or so.

Oh, and regarding increased testing:

Yes, of course, more tests = more cases confirmed, BUT also keep in mind that the positivity rate of the tests is also rising.

So some of the increase is due to "increased testing", but the increasing positivity rate of test administered indicates that the disease is spreading and is not controlled.

new cases have been steadily declining the past 6 or 7 days.

???

What stats are you looking at?

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/cases-in-us.html

Those are the 6 highest days (6/30 thru 7/5) in the US since the start of the pandemic, surpassing the prior peaks in April.

Prince Andrew & Jeffrey Epstein, WTF

by Simon in

in fact, several "wtf"s, not least - why were you visiting a convicted pedophile after his release from prison, never-mind having any contact with him in the first place when his preoclivities seemed to be an open secret.. and the best he can some up with is "i don't remember"?

you don't remember?

there's a fucking photo of you with one of the victims and accessories to the crimes you dumb fuck!.

sir82

Ghislaine Maxwell will start to sing to the authorities to minimize her prison time.

Assuming she doesn't suddenly become "suicidal"....

...coincidentally at the same time that security cameras malfunction and guards happen to be on a coffee break.

Jessica Leigh Collins - do you believe her story (Epstein)

by Anony Mous in

as i was researching some stuff about this epstein guy and came across postings about jessica leigh collins.. her twitter has most of her story: https://twitter.com/midnitemj but it is actively being suppressed by twitter - a regular search on twitter doesn't get her account as a result and none of her posts have been seen by more than a few hundred people.

many media outlets have tagged her as "russian troll" while she doesn't seem anything like it.

it certainly is way too detailed and is going on for way too long to be a troll nor is her story being artificially trended or upvoted, fact is, the posts have virtually no upvotes or retweets even though people elsewhere claimed they tried.. what i can gather is that she came out about being trafficked by epstein but quickly found out that nobody is actually interested in her story.

sir82

Hopefully Maxwell lives long enough to testify / flip.

There are some big names, BIG names, on both sides of the aisle, who are extremely nervous.

Food Boxes given out by Society

by JustChillin in

anyone else get a food box delivered by local congregation to your door - allegedly by the society?

weird.

i looked online and found a couple of youtube channels saying the society is taking food from food banks and giving it only to their congregations.

sir82

You want to know what's funny?

They keep stressing here that this is "practice" for when the "great tribulation" begins. They are testing their "distribution networks".

But....but....but...isn't the "great tribulation" when "the governments" decide to "destroy" all "false religions"?

How is it that "the government" wants to "destroy" a religion, but simultaneously provides free food for the members of the religion they are trying to "destroy"?

I can't figure it out. Must be too "deep".
