Superman and Captain America
by punkofnice ini see that marvel are introducing a gay captain america as dc announce the son of superman is bi-sexual.. whereas i don't give a hoot about a person's use of their genitalia as long as it is consensual and not with kids, i'm finding all this 'inclusivity' becoming a bit boring.. are dc and marvel just virtue signalling in the hopes of selling comics and not being set on fire by the antifa frauds?

I revisit an old Jehovah's Witness friend from long ago...
by Terry ingoodbye old friend; someday we'll meet again ….
the ghost with the fine china cups.
my last memory of her… a friend from long ago.. julie was a startling beauty, a blue-eyed, natural blonde; a model, guitar player, a singer with glowing purity of tone, a talented writer, and possessed of a wicked sense of humor.. she was too young to be dating and yet she was a natural flirt.

was recently contacted by a group of about 40 of the Brothers who were
in the same (Seagoville) prison in the late '60s with me and they were having
a reunion (on Zoom).
These guys, one and all, looked awful!Not a healthy man in the entire bunch.
Very insular group (still active.)
It struck me as incredibly sad I was the only one who seems to have escaped
I'm kinda surprised they included you Terry! If you don't mind my asking, how old are they on average, would you say?
I suppose it's really hard to accept you were wrong when you've sacrificed so much. What do they call it .... investment bias, or something? Very sad only you woke up :( I had a friend in France who went to jail for refusing national service in the 70s...Pascal. He passed away.

by AndersonsInfo inhttps://www.prri.org/research/2020-census-of-american-religion/.
more than one-third of muslims (39%), white mainline protestants (37%), buddhists (37%), and the religiously unaffiliated (36%) have at least a four-year college degree.
another 19% are catholic, 2% are latter-day saint, and less than 1% each are jehovah’s witnesses or orthodox christians.

A group of 136 countries set a minimum global tax rate of 15% for big corporations
by Disillusioned JW ina group of 136 countries set a minimum global tax rate of 15% for big corporations.
that is a major goal accomplished by the biden administration.
seehttps://www.wsj.com/articles/countries-agree-to-global-deal-to-curb-tax-avoidance-11633709979 .. if corresponding legislation gets passed into law in the usa it will be much harder for corporations doing business in the usa to move their operations out of the usa to avoid paying their fair share of taxes.

The thing that you're all missing is that you are America.Noone but no company wants to be locked out of America. That's where your power lay. I'm glad.
Even if the data dumps show there's myriad ways of avoiding the law, you've got to start somewhere.
As to pensions, I don't see your point Dubstep . No one's talking about cutting their massive profits. Just paying a little tax (which won't touch pensions). And it will be a little. But it's better than nothing....Which is precisely what they pay now.
social security and property taxes -
don't know about the states but employers get tax breaks in UK and property taxes a drop in the ocean for businesses like Facebook & Google etc

In the UK it is legal to abort a Down's Syndrome baby up until the moment of birth
by LoveUniHateExams inthere was a recent legal challenge, brought about by a woman who herself has down's, which sought to overturn this sad state of affairs.. and a few days ago, a judge upheld the original law and denied her legal challenge.
this is pretty sick, don't you think?.
pro-abortion people love to ridicule religious people who claim that life begins at conception, so the obvious question is, when does life actually begin?.

Those who think it's wrong, let me ask....are you willing to adopt these kids then? Once they're born with major heart defects, Vision problems hearing loss, infections, Hypothyroidism, blood disorders, hypotonia (poor muscle tone), problems with the upper part of the spine. It's not just a question of having learning disabilities.
Someone used that lass with downs syndrome who went to court to challenge the law. It must have greatly upset her and it's not something she needed to know. Highly doubtful she found out through her own research.
In the UK it's extremely difficult to find adoptive parents for heathy boys over 3, let alone a downs child. They'd face a life of being in state care and as one who was in care for a while I can tell you it's horrific. When my babies were tested for downs (being an older mother) I had to seriously think about how they would manage after I died. The thought of their lonely struggle. There's many in an adult care facility on my road. Most of them get no visitors of their own (who aren't home volunteers).

With all the gripe and objection WT's getting from the rank & file over building this Media Center.
That makes a pleasant change...are they really speaking their minds on this? Many people are out of work or struggling. They don't have an awful lot of spare cash. Tell me what they're saying JWgonebad please?

HLC confidentiality
by shadowclone inlots of hospitals have hired jw's as bloodless care manager.
if they find out that a jw agrees to take blood, what is their protocol in such a case?
usa scenario so hippa is a factor.

Road to nowhere Question. Hired? HCLA elders are volunteers, not employees. And they are supposedly for encouragement but the real reason is enforcement.
I think OP was talking about a paid role. Sort of like a transplant co ordinator but for bloodless surgery?
AMous I'm sure you can get individual surgeons to perform bloodless surgery in private hospitals in the UK & EU still - but I suppose it's less...organized, maybe, than in the US?
