Some stores are still requiring masks in my state. Went to the bank this morning and no mask required. Of course the clerks were still behind plexiglass and it wasn't crowded. Any place that people are closer than 6 ft I put my mask on. My husband is frail and I have to stay well. Wish I had a vaccine for pollen... its been a terrible spring for allergies.

Will You Still Wear A Mask Even If You Don’t Have To?
by minimus init seems that some people just aren’t ready to put those masks aside even if they are fully vaccinated!
some can’t help but think their brains aren’t ready for “normal”..

Do JW women expect LESS from their man than Non-jw women?
by pistolpete innon-jw women usually expect their man to have some type of social status.
whether it's education, money, fame, etc.. these days, feminism also plays a role in a future, marriage.
(the man is not the head, maybe the women is the head).

I left pretty much after I graduated in the 60's. (never baptized) I knew I would never marry a witness, lived with my grandma while I went to community college. When I got a job at the hospital I moved to an apartment where I wouldnt have to take a bus for 3 -11 shift. Closer to work... safer too.
Tho I did date a guy from the hall once, just confirmed my thoughts that I would do better not married if he was anything to go by.
Met my husband a few years later. We will be celebrating 48 years in November.

What Will Happen If You Do NOT Get The Covid Vaccinations?
by minimus inwe are encouraged to all, if possible, get the vaccinations.
if you don’t, we are told that we definitely could get the virus.
fair enough.. but what happens if you decide you aren’t going to get the shots?

What other vaccines have 100 % protection of any disease? I understand the flu shots are about 60% and I get one every year anyways. Just curious.

Min, nasal allergies are here right now. Pollen from trees are making me nuts. Elm, oak and poplar are making my eyes burn & I have started my Zyrtec. Cottonwood should be starting soon. I would take a vaccine right now if there such a thing.

What JW Subjects Interest You The Most On This Site? What Doesn’t??
by minimus ini like subjects that delve into the history of the religion and proofs that the witnesses are not the true religion.
i’m not so much into apologists saying we need to go to meetings, especially if the poster looks like a scammer trying to get ex jws going.
what subjects interest you ?

I find that if I can find an old poster or thread that I like I can click on that poster and find viewpoints interesting to me. I follow through that thread a lot of subjects. I could go to search the sites information base and come up with stuff but it is almost easier to google it with the websites name and the subject. I like to say google is your friend.
If I didnt have family still "in" I would let go of this site; but because of the political bias on some threads but have learned to leave the thread almost immediately or I get too stressed.

My husband is elderly and is dealing with lung cancer. He doesn't need me bringing any germs into the house. I am in my early 70s and am overweight and have high blood pressure. We will be taking the shot as soon as the doctors say OK.

Jesus speaks in third person
by menrov ini stumbled on john 17:1,2 which reads in net version:.
17 when jesus had finished saying these things, he looked upward to heaven and said, “father, the time has come.
glorify your son, so that your son may glorify you— 2 just as you have given him authority over all humanity, so that he may give eternal life to everyone you have given him.. if jesus had a close relation with his father, would you not expect to read something like this:.

why crown of thorns
by peacefulpete inmost here know that story elements in the jesus story are drawn from the ot.
countless elements of gospels are cut straight from the descriptions of ot characters like moses, joshua, samuel et.al.
an interesting suggestion involves a passage that was the very last straw for me years ago.

Totally weird scripture, I had to look it up. It has to be the strangest thing in the bible I have ever read.
