Sin came into the world - not true?
by menrov inmatt 5:27 “you have heard that it was said, ‘do not commit adultery.’ 28 but i say to you that whoever looks at a woman to desire her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.. this means that even before someone commits an act that is considered a sin or wrong but does think about it, that person actually already committed that sin or trespassing.. now read this:.
rom.
5:12 so then, just as sin entered the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all people because all sinned— 13 for before the law was given, sin was in the world, but there is no accounting for sin when there is no law.. this means that there was already sin in the world before adam and eve actually ate the fruit.

It’s funny when you think that the first thing they think of when it’s comes to knowing good from evil is....nakedness! How ridiculous!
There are umpteen tribes who go around completely in the buff (in hot, humid countries) and don’t think a thing of it! It’s not something that humans find naturally wrong. It always seems to be colder countries that find public nakedness abhorrent. Funny that!
its just our culture which designates what is sin and what is not.
For instance, adultery to the ancient Hebrews was only if a man, married or single, had sex with a married woman. If a married man had sex with a single woman that was not adultery. That was not a sin to them.
Boiling a Kid in it’s mother’s milk was a sin to them!! “Sinning” is cultural not absolute.

How do you personally deal with your still in family JWS ?
by Finkelstein infor myself i just try to avoid them intentionally maybe see them once every couple of years on average.
they used to be easy going but over the last 10 years or so they got more cult like and distant and i'm really not bothered by that, maybe a bit.
they stick to their own or other members like they are their family so, its makes it unattractive for myself to connect and reach out to them anymore.

PistolpeteYour parents raise you, you leave the house and start your own family, Once a year maybe you get together with parents and siblings, and then back to the grind.
One leaves the parents house when the parents are around 40 years old,
Once a year? It would destroy me if my kids wanted to see me once a year!!
Also, if my kids left home when I was 40 they'd be the world's most independent 2 year olds!!!!

More & more members of Trump's circle are getting sick. Last I heard it was 17 who have contracted the virus. They're saying that Trump might be the super-carrier...meaning that he may have spread the virus to the rest of his team. Me is beginning to think that due to Trump's negligence & could-careless attitude...he just might of given the game over to the Democrats on a silver platter!
Newsflash!!!
Methinks someone within that circle Is not washing their damn filthy hands!!
(Btw I’m not saying it’s Trump at all) Despite the fact it is ten times as infectious as influenza, if that many go down at once despite universal precautions, for sure there’s one dirty bastard within the office (may be member of domestic staff...or anybody).
I’ve read a lot of research around it as a student nurse and You’d be surprised just how many people are habitual non hand washers!!!!

Here we are Petra ! Proof if proof were needed of the paper towel rule (though can waste paper in everything else including covering the ladies rest-room mirrors with it!)
https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/161605/one-paper-towel
Some examples for your delight!
would take two paper towels and then put a little extra in the contruibution box. Such a drone i was.
This was one of the little rediculous rules I always enjoyed breaking. I'd take 2 or 3 or 7 and let the attendant "frown upon" me and not stop for his attempted counceling.

I don’t think Trump getting Covid will make any difference one way or another. He’s human. He meets lots of people, especially folks who do a lot of traveling, so it’s really not surprising. He could do with loosing a few pounds, ok, but I’d say he’s pretty tough. Also he’s 6 3” and taller people seem to get away with carrying a few more pounds but you never know. It seems quite random as to who goes down, particularly when it comes to clotting.
Interestingly they’re finally talking about the possibility of interaction with pets being a protective factor. You see animals carry coronaviruses. Not the same one, of course, but researchers are finally putting forward the theory that pets may pass coronaviruses to their owners who develop T cell immunity to coronaviruses. This is my pet theory, by the way, so u heard it first here folks lol🤣

It's a wonder the Tower doesn't give rank & file instructions on how to theocratically go to the bathroom!!!
Petra I think they did! Wasn’t there some letter read out a few years back about taking only ONE paper towel whenever you go to the bathroom?!! 🤣Can anyone one verify?
Thank you for your tireless work ❤️

None of us can avoid the covid. It is just a matter of holding the line until a vaccine arrives
Darn right JoenB75. I like it!👍
