  do you think he could get reinstated as president?

  do you think trump will run again for president or do you think he will just be a force for the republican party behind the scenes?.

  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?

  it'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.

  The last line of the article is part of a statement from a spokesperson:

  I guess I cannot join. I was born in late 1964 and this group is for those born between 1965 and 1980.

  JWs don't have any problems

  they 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.)

  What Is Truth?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  just because you believe something as truth, it doesn’t make it truth.

  religious leaders may be admired and believed but they could be dead wrong.

  politicians can spout out “facts” that support their truth yet once further evidence comes through these facts are questionable.

  I just like to stroke you because you don't accept what the truth is about that.

  Minimus: True versus not true. I don’t care what you believe or don’t believe. If it’s true than it’s true. If it’s not, it’s not.
  
  This is from a person who thinks that "there was a conspiracy to make sure Trump wouldn’t remain President" across different states, despite the facts that there were not thousands of illegal votes found in any of those states. As Dave Wasserman, House editor of the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, told USA TODAY-
  

  "The case for Trump having won the election is so preposterous that the only explanation is that the losing side does not like the results..."
  
  And no, I am not here to argue the election. I am just saying that humans do not abide by "If it’s true than it’s true. If it’s not, it’s not."

  Waton, I think you miss my point. Humans don't limit "truth" to objective facts tied to science, like the degree or intensity of heat present in our sun as expressed according to a comparative scale.
  
  Just the very asking of what "truth" is leads to subjectivity.
