I think some kind of NHS would be great, but, again, I'm just concerned about all those who don't deserve it benefitting by it. And the money still has to come from people who
Thank you Magnum for explaining something that we in Britain find hard to understand. Do you not think everyone deserves medical care? Wherever they are from?
Im a determinist. I believe we donât have free will.
Many things that you feel make people deemed âworthyâ of govt intervention - such as medical care, unemployment benefit etc etc - seem to be things such as ability to thrive via work or study, being an English speaker, integrating into a Northern European style culture etc I believe are mostly accident of birth. Yes, even ability to work hard is something that comes via either upbringing or DNA....in the same way musical ability is or sporting ability. When you realise that we, none of us, are in our relative situations in life from purely our own efforts you will see that either no one - or everyone - is deserving of medical care etc etc

Actually mean Mr. M reminded me of something.
My husband said this morning âI donât give a rats ass who won as long as they do something about climate changeâ. I believe Biden is going to re-join the G7? I really think Trump let himself down by not moving on climate change issues. At the end of the day, right now, itâs all that really matters.

The most thrilled topic but why dont people reply with facts/ figures
by Ardian inthe watchtower and awake have been listed as the most popular magazines.the figures are astonishing.

i have seen the link on many social media networks.

The article says the list is "based on their circulation and popularity." Circulation for Watchtower and Awake includes all the many thousands that are not placed in the field and that end up stacked up in JWs' homes, the many thousands that are placed, but, never read and that end up in the trash, and the many thousands that JWs get, but, don't themselves read... also, the stacks that are left at laundromats, those left under doormats at not-at-homes, etc.
The sad thing is that if it was a bunch of mags that were counted by the number that wholesalers buy, but that never get sold to the public, JWs would say âHow silly those magazines arenât popular, none are sold!â Yet that is exactly what is happening to the Awakes....Jehovahâs witnesses are like the wholesalers who buy in bulk but canât sell them on! They are being duped! They think because no one person or company is making a profit from them it doesnât mean Watchtower Bible and Tract of Pennsylvania inc. isnât getting $tinking rich!

With every passing election I find myself leaning more and more to the concept of sortition. Better to be ruled by random people picked from a phone book...
sortition? Thatâs a new word for me! As in The Sorting Hat???

EU top court rules on JW blood transfusion case
by Corney inthe court of justice of the european union (cjeu) yesterday delivered the judgment (press release) on a request of the supreme court of latvia on whether domestic authorities are obliged to reimburse costs of cross-border medical treatment when the patient's decision to perform it in another european country was based on religious, not medical, grounds.
the opinion of advocate general (summarized here) is helpful in understanding the case.. the son of the applicant in the main proceedings had to have open heart surgery.
that operation was available in the latterâs member state of affiliation, latvia, but could not be carried out without a blood transfusion.

Thank you.
Regardless of Watchtower nonsense if there is the possibility of a patient getting treatment out of States/s and said States have reciprocal's, patient's absolutely should receive it.

The 1950s NWT (1984)
by HowTheBibleWasCreated ini did a video on this subject once but feel this is a noteworthy topic.
to be honest the old nwt has come under sonsiderable attack from fundie morons attacking it's nt which was translated with a few revisals in 1950.the truth is john 1:1 and 8:58 and other texts, though despite being odd, are within the translation rules as are the inclusion of the word {other} since this was stated in the forward as an interpolation.
jehovah in the nt is odd but certianly lacking as other translations have added more yhwh.. so the ot?

But I do not excuse his scholarly dishonesty to prove a doctrinal point. A good example is Jer. 29:10 in order to prove the 1914 date
That's because Fred Franz was never a scholar. A talented amateur for sure, but no scholar else he would have taken his scholarship more seriously.

This is an interesting piece from Biblical scholar Dr. Robert M. Price (love him!) about Jehovahs Witnesses translation of the Bible and whether the Arc Angel Micheal could really be Jesus. See timestamp 39:16
(Also v funny if you go a little earlier his favourite comedic bits of the Bible)
