  Good reasons above

  I wear mine in the car going to get tested in my street at the Covid testing station which is drive thru.

  Is this silly ? Well when I wind down my window there I'm faced by people who are testing me and heaps of other people before me .Could I get infected there ? Probably not but I am in a high risk category so why take a chance .

  I guess people wear masks in their car for a variety of reasons like they put one on before leaving the house because they don't keep them in the car.

  My partner and I went to Bunnings (retail hardware store) yesterday ,signed in ,put on hand gel ,and had our masks on and of the hundred or so in store, including the staff ,we were the only ones with masks on.

  We may have been conspicuous but we tried protecting ourselves from a possible rogue arsehole who knew they had Covid but did'nt cover up. And this happens.

  here it is ,the end of a year and a new one starting tomorrow.. i do not want to reflect on the bad the year brought us ,but thankfully i will move into the new year glad that i am still here to enjoy the good things in life that are still here .. though i've had some personal bad stuff happening like all do from time to time i did have things to be thankful for ,like my loving partners support and a wonderful christmas visit with my daughters family and grand children.. i had to plan my driving trip to queensland in between covid shutdowns but this made it more exciting and helped me to see i should not take family for granted.. so i'm thankful for the good the year brought and yet sorrowful for those in the world who had bad things happen.. that's the stuff of life and sometimes it's worse for a while and then change brings better times.. i don't believe the strike of clock will bring change but what we do in our lives will ,i've made bad decisions that have lbrought life long change for bad but i have made some for good.

  some things from outside will bring change ,like covid ,but it is how we handle things that really matters for the future.. the one big thing i am thankful for is getting insight from this wonderful site that helped me see what the disgusting watchtower org is in reality , and over the years have seen thru others here how they broke the clutches of a cult of liars.. so thank you all and hope that the future brings some happiness as well ,agong with the sorrow and especially to all the ozzies on here.

  I do not want to reflect on the bad the year brought us ,but thankfully i will move into the new year glad that i am still here to enjoy the good things in life that are still here .

  Though I've had some personal bad stuff happening like all do from time to time I did have things to be thankful for ,like my loving partners support and a wonderful christmas visit with my daughters family and grand children.

  I had to plan my driving trip to Queensland in between covid shutdowns but this made it more exciting and helped me to see i should not take family for granted.

  So I'm thankful for the good the year brought and yet sorrowful for those in the world who had bad things happen.

  That's the stuff of life and sometimes it's worse for a while and then change brings better times.

  I don't believe the strike of clock will bring change but what we do in our lives will ,I've made bad decisions that have lbrought life long change for bad but I have made some for good. Some things from outside will bring change ,like covid ,but it is how we handle things that really matters for the future.

  The one big thing I am thankful for is getting insight from this wonderful site that helped me see what the disgusting Watchtower org is in reality , and over the years have seen thru others here how they broke the clutches of a cult of liars.

  So thank you all and hope that the future brings some happiness as well ,agong with the sorrow and especially to all the Ozzies on here

  The GB when challenged as to why the vaccinations and why it's OK to have them will pull out a scripture they used in the past (....use the world , but not to the FULL) ,don't have a bible here but many older members would remeber the WTS usage of this one.

  Time, times and half a time - nerd time

  by Anony Mous in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so, the famous 607 calculation to 1914 involves the above prophecy.

  the common explanation is that time is one unit, times is an unsubstantiated number of units.. to prove you can make it say any date, we must write it as a formula:.

  date = t + nt + 0.5t where n >= 2. so simplified:.

  Damn , I wish I'd read the watchtower literature more carefully and it would have given me the university education I need to understand this topic !

  Hi Lostatsea ,as DH said but one day in the future maybe one bit of jewelry of Jesus reclining before the JW.Org symbol may be seen as acceptable.

  Well ,years ago no one would have dreamt that a symbol would be OK to use, and brothers can make money from putting that symbol JW.Org on things to sell ,just browse the internet and see

  you cannot make this up: financial help and the hand of jehovah complete project.

  january 2016 jw broadcasting..... video starts at 35:30. a local design construction department manager named travis brooks tells a story about a building project on the island of yap, micronesia.

  a small kingdom hall needs to be expanded because the facility wasn't big enough for those in attendance.

  "road to nowhere"

  That's really my point, the standards are lower ,but iff you think of the way WTS presents itself as gods channel with higher standards compared to the world, surely this would present an opportunity to show the people there,and including the congregation that they have a high standard but they don't do they?

  Unless it's for the the GB house - see, same old worldly hypocrisy as everyone else.

  And yes I worked on many quick builds and the standard of work and organisation was nothing like the work they put in to get the media out and take pictures. it was just worldly razzamataz.

  by Theocratic Sedition in

  4/1/1967 wt.

  for years, modern civilization has used the commercially available product known as toilet paper to cleanse one's rear posterior.

  it is a common practice that has permeated almost all** of the inhabited earth.

  They really are becoming mainstream when they say god is performing miracles for them in the form of sand !

  Shows how cynical the GB is to fool the dumb sheep with this story. We are talking about making construction grade concrete for a public building are'nt we ?

  Well I worked for 18 years in the concrete manufacturing industry including the actual manufacturing ,management and laboratory of concrete production ,and I can safely say that you do not use salty beach sand for construction !

  As has been pointed out sea water is full of chemicals including salts which will make the concrete go hard prematurely which in turn can cause bad cracking.

  Sand that is used in concrete production is washed and screened to remove impurities and the particles are graded in size carefully ,even iff the beach sand was washed to remove salts it is basically a same size grains silica sand with no fine clay type particles which basically makes a "dead" mix, even with the cement added to the mix, it won't be workable and if a concrete pump were used in the placing it would probably jam the pump from it's lack of ability to flow, and finishing the surface would be a nightmare unless lots of certain chemicals such as air entrainers were used to aerate the mix.

  Not to mention ,over time, how the salts in the mix will break the cementicious bond and rust the rebar before it's time!
  

  So iff the GB OK the use of this crappy type concrete thru their "theocratic arrangement" and Jehovahs poor judgement of sand choice ,well that just about confirms their standards in religion and building quality, and also how cynically they view the local islanders as poor dumb slobs and how that will be ok for them !

  But I bet they would'nt like to use that sand to build the house they live in hoping the concrete will hold the building up - (words deleted here I have to stop that!)
