I am just speculating, but Watchtower may be pleased to shake out the rif raf. People that "won't go back" just don't donate enough money. Let the Kingdom Hall sales continue.

What would happen if the Watchtower decided no more meeting at Kingdom Halls, only Zoom?
by pistolpete ini’m seeing my hard core believing relatives slowly losing faith that the watchtower is the organization that “god” is using to represent him on earth.. just about all the churches in their area have opened up.. but not the watchtower.. this is having an affect on the faith of even the old timers.
now the only ones who are still holding the faith are the female jws and only those past 70 years of age.
even my old male jw relative past 70 are starting to say that it can’t be jehovah’s organization because the other churches are all open and god supposed organization who is supposed to preach the warning message is still closed with no open in sight.

The powers that pull the Dems strings won't let Harris pick a woman running mate for 2024, let alone Ilhan Omar.
Harris was chosen by the same string-pullers to get the black vote for Joe without really offering anything the progressives want.
It is time to push and demand that the parties offer real candidates or break up the party system. I prefer the break up, but I don't see the powers that be allowing that. -

Otwo, regarding your analysis, nothing Trump did was illegal. Stop look’ing at CNN and the lens of msnbc.
You know very well that it is a violation of a provision of the Constitution, but that it would take Congress to impeach the president for such a violation. So you know it is not something that will get a warrant for your arrest. You also know why there is an emoluments clause and you know that Trump did violate it and you know why he did.
Saying this on your thread is like talking to the Evangelical religious right who pretend Donald did not have sex with a porn star. If your guy violates the emoluments clause, then he is smart to do so. I don't defend Joe Biden on what happened with Hunter. I am sure it was wrong, if not illegal. But you turn a blind eye to far worse with Donald Trump. -

Will there be a sense of urgency in 30 years?
by neat blue dog init's pretty easy to see how current events would have any jw convinced the end is imminent, but i just don't see how there could be a major push for zealous service, pioneering, etc.
decades into the future.
even if (when) world events happen periodically that could scare the r&f, there are now countless hours of hd video of jw leaders saying how close the end is.

If your question was 30 years old, the sense of urgency was escaping them even then.
Except for a handful of pioneer sisters, the sense of urgency is dead. -

Min: Regarding if he runs again you say he can steal more money this way, what money did he steal as POTUS?
Violating the foreign emoluments clause that prohibits federal officeholders from receiving any gift, payment, or other thing of value from a foreign state or its rulers, officers, or representatives- Trump granted influence to those that bought real estate and stayed at resorts, joined his country clubs, rented out entire floors at Trump hotels (especially in D.C), and he especially sold influence to those that leased offices at NYC and San Francisco buildings among others.
Coronavirus crippled his incredible raking in of moneys as influence buyers started staying at home.
Also, staying at his own resorts and super over-charging the Secret Service to have rooms and use the honor bars and all that- to the tune of several millions.
While his his attempt to host the G-7 Summit at his property failed, there was plenty of smaller day-to-day business at Mar-A-Lago, so that's the real reason he golfed so much despite saying he would not.
I know- Min, you won't let facts get in your way despite swearing that you won't get fooled again. -

There is nothing coming out of the biased bogus recount and there is no provision within the Constitution for overturning the election results.
Donald would certainly want to run again. Even with a snowball's chance, it's a great way for him to steal more money. But I do think that he has lost millions of followers who have figured out what he is. If he is not liquidated for criminal tax evasion, he won't have enough support to win the nomination. -

JWs don't have any problems
by neat blue dog inthey never get disgruntled and leave, they never abuse children, they never sleep around or steal.
because if they were a true jehovah's witness they wouldn't do that, and if they do something wasn't right with them to begin with.
anybody else heard this "logic"?

No True Scotsman Fallacy for JW's
P1: All X are Y....[or no X are Z] (No Jehovah's Witnesses would fornicate.)
P2: Clearly, not all X are Y. (Brother Smith fornicated.)
C: All true X are Y. (No TRUE Jehovah's Witnesses would fornicate, MISTER Smith is no true JW.)
