No older than 2005 model? How about a 1905 model that is in perfect condition? They don't deserve anything--not even a 2021 Chinese junk model in wretched condition that is 22 nanometers long. Not to mention, people need the money from selling a travel trailer (or perhaps to live in it, whether on vacation or because of pending evictions) more than the washtowel deserves them.

$15.00 minimum wage
by hoser inwhile we are talking about economic stimulus i thought i’d bring up the $15 minimum wage.
pros and cons?.

It is all relative. I don't care how much the number is--how many toilet papers per hour it is. I care about how much can you buy with it. In a world where the cost of comfortable living is in the area of a few cents per month, $1 per hour would be a fortune. If one square of toilet paper costs a sextillion dollars (and not even during a shortage), a billion "dollars" per hour would be a miserably poor wage.
And, with every "minority" group demanding free stuff under threat of riots, our taxes are going way up. In addition, productivity will go down by the amount they would have produced, leaving all that money chasing fewer goods (inflation). You are asking for very high inflation at least, and if trust in the dollar totally breaks down, hyperinflation. In that event, 15 toilet papers per hour is going to be nothing.

4th Stimulus Check? (USA)
by Iamallcool indo you think there will be another round of stimulus checks?

I think they will keep throwing money around--to waste bringing the stock market to false record highs (when it deserves to be at zero). You get a bit, the big companies get a huge amount. (And Google deserves it about as much as we need another round of mandatory vaccines with permanent face masks required.) Companies like Walmart, GE, Amazon, Google, and the likes do not need bailouts or "stimulus", and neither do the big banks that are siphoning our money away.
And neither do the churches. Those foul things can rot, and the world would be that much better when people either have to do their church online or not at all. (And "not at all" would have meant this communism would have failed because they wouldn't have been able to raise the energy to impose it.)

Bathing Daily Doesn’t Help The Planet
by minimus inthe new york times as well as other news agencies are reporting that in order to help save the planet we should limit our daily bathing.
they say daily bathing really because popular in the 20th century because elites decided to impress and use petroleum based soaps and take advantage of their indoor plumbing.
a lot of this daily bathing ritual was just for show.

Nothing is "good" for the planet--at least as long as humanity is still alive. That is, for the reptilian race that is moving in on us. They want the planet conditioned so they can move right in, and right now it is not.
But for everyone else, so what. Every drop of water used ends up somewhere else. You "use" water, it simply goes somewhere and ends up right back in the environment. Yet, they wish to limit the use of this resource. And, of course they say nothing about the huge amount of damage single use face masks do to the environment--I have seen more of those things littered during the past year than I can ever recall (I prefer reusable masks, if I have to wear them at all). Or, what about all the plastics that end up in the oceans? Straws that started from McDonald's. Cheap junk that is designed to break after a few uses and then you need to buy another one (or expensive junk that is programmed to become unusable after just a few months so you need another one).
Maybe it's time to stop distracting people with their water "usage" and worry more about items that are intended to break or become unusable after one, or a few, uses. And start holding companies responsible for producing this trash or programming certain items (iPhones, for instance) to become unusable after a couple of updates.

And now they want everyone to use electronic payments for their donations. Just give them all your stimulus check if you get one, or your extra unemployment benefits if that applies to you. (And waste all the time they presume you have writing letters and sending spam phone calls, including to cell and smart phones where the recipient could run up charges for such spam.)
Not to mention, they will be requiring everyone to get vaccinated (and keep up to date with their vaccines) for this cold, or face disfellowshipping. While the vaccines may not cost anything out of pocket, they do make one sick and the medical bills are on the recipients (and when they are least able to work, between lack of decent jobs and their being too sick to work). Obviously, they need the money themselves. Yet, the washtowel wants them donating more than they can afford (even if they don't get sick or lose their income).

Will You Get Back To Normal After Covid Subsides?
by minimus insome say we will never get back to pre-pandemic days.
others say we should expect to live with masks and social distancing as the “new normal “.
still others are hopeful that we can live life realizing there might never be an end to covid or cancer or influenza but our lives must continue to go on.

I expect nothing to return to before. Instead, soon we will be getting mandatory vaccinations (I expect that as soon as there is a good surplus of doses that no one wants, after all the idiots that got their shots before doing any decent research on them run out). And then we will still have to double mask, maintain "social(??)" distancing, and businesses being reduced in capacity. Every so often, we will see another vaccine "update", which will roll out far smoother than the original shots and be mandatory.
Also, I believe the Internet is on borrowed time. Not because it is falling apart, but because they are going to take the whole thing down without any warning (and, there is no telling when). Already, we have tight censorship on all the major platforms plus attacks on alternate sites to force them to either censor or get shut down. (And all the ads--it's getting impossible to watch YouTube videos and get anything out of them with so many intrusive ads, plus they know how to freeze and crash computers better than they know how to run a site.) Any day now, I expect to turn on my computer and see all the user created content gone, and the Internet will be as one big cable network (plus Walmart being the only place you can buy anything).
In the meantime, they will make the dollar become toilet paper. Already, there are major price increases on staples, with more planned (this time, the paper supplies will simply get way more expensive, instead of having strict limits and shortages). You may get $15 per hour, which buys less than 10 cents per hour did in 1970. (And all your wealth being taxed to death, with all these new Komodo Dragon Harris taxes coming around.) See how it is in California with wealth taxes? It will be even worse nationwide once Komodo Dragon becomes president, as with the Internet being ruined or taken down, without warning.
And yes, they will have police to enforce mandatory vaccines along with mandatory double masks, "social(??)" distancing, and excessive sanitizing everything. They will take away from enforcing real laws (using political correctness, which is already happening) and redirect it to enforcing tyranny. At the same time, it is "racist" to have any IQ higher than that of a coronavirus, or to use more than 0.001% of your brain.

Why did Jehovah Kill all the animals in the flood? What purpose did it serve??
by pistolpete insome of my jw family that is waking up posed that question to my jw family that is still hanging on to jw belief.. the stepbrother that posed that question told me;.
"in all these years of being a jw, i actually never gave it much thought as to why jehovah had to kill millions of innocent animals that had nothing to do with mankind becoming evil.".
i keep picturing in my mind, all the baby puppies and kitties that were destroyed by jehovah.

I never did accuse that monster of a god of being humane in any way, shape, or form. Not with animals, not with people. Nor is that monster fair.
I can only picture homes where they use glue traps instead of more humane capture or quick kill traps for mice. I have seen videos of how the mice, once stuck, struggle to get off. In time, they are exhausted, and many suffer terribly trying to get off. If other mice get stuck, they get into fights with each other, adding to the cruelty. The mice stay stuck on that trap, alive, for a day or more. That, to me, is how humane joke-hova and its filthy angels are. Only on a much worse scale.

I rarely see them, and when I do, they always try hounding me to return to boasting sessions, even trying to commit me to making one. Little do they know, I will start telling them (in German) that the whole bible is full of lies (not mistakes, lies), the whole religion deliberately goes against nature, and that I will not go back to believing any of the rubbish. Since they do not know the German words for "apostate", "idolatry", or "repentance", I doubt they will get very far.

Drastic Upcoming Changes? (accelerated by the pandemic)
by JWTom ingood to see you again!
much discussion now about the fallout that is coming due to impacts of the pandemic combined with the long-term downward spiral of jw.org.
i am active as a pimo and my wife is pimi....much of our personal conversation and conversation with others in jw land focuses on how things will play out for jw.org in the next 12-24 months.

As with those big or grand boasting sessions, they will keep all the costs and drawbacks while taking away all the benefits. You will have to donate whatever you would have, in their opinions, paid for travel and motel rooms (and Israel missions). You will still have to dress up in a suit and waste the whole day (or days, as the case may be). Whatever rules made it miserable in person will also apply while you are on Zoom.
What will be missing is whatever fun, however muted, a physical trip would have been. No more seeing the opposite sex outside your little circle (and, if you go outside, you will be hounded to death). No more fun of having a physical trip (just the work). (And yes, the vaccine for coronavirus, along with all the cancer, type 1 diabetes, and auto-immune problems, will be mandatory under disfellowshipping for not getting it.)
This is it--the jokehovian witlesses will be under full Noahide Law. Along with being strict against "idolatry" and blaspheming joke-hova (deservedly), their marriage partners will be picked by the hounders. And always going against who the partners may be attracted to. As for loosening up the rules, that is just to get people to think things are getting easier. All lies. You transgress against their rules, they ruin all facets of your life. While getting your head chopped off now is not legal, they will impose strict disfellowshipping. And, once Komodo Dragon Harris gets full presidency (and, after that thing's two terms, Maxine "We Must Get More Confrontational" Waters), it will be amazing to see how quickly they legalize beheadings for Noahide Law violations.

And this time, it is your head. Under Noahide Law, which is coming under full global communism, anyone having sex with anyone other than their prescribed mate (and no gay sex, either) will have their heads chopped off.
