California to ban sales of fossil fuel cars in 15 years

by mickbobcat in

this will never work but liberals are too stupid to know it.

first off all you have to do is cross the border and buy a car.

if they will not let you license it in the state then many will license it out of state.

Electric motors can be extremely energy efficient and the vehicle doesn’t need a conventional transmission. The only drawback is range and battery life. If everyone switched to an electric car tomorrow the electrical grid would fail. There just isn’t enough power lines or generation capacity to handle the extra load.

Solar and wind can’t do it so we would need more gas or coal fired electricity which defeats the purpose of the electric car. Nuclear power plants are the solution but no one wants one in their back yard.

It’s telling when many “worldly” corporations treat their old workers better than the Jws.

Twisting Micah 6:8 to fit the Governing Body's narrative

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

mark sanderson: “wisdom is with the modest ones” (prov.

here is governing body member mark sanderson reading micah 6:8 from the new world translation.

twisting micah 6:8 to fit the governing body's narrative to be ''loyal'' to jehovah and ingrained into every member's brain to also include the ''governing body.

hoser

This is from the “new” new world translation 2013 version. The original new world translation wasn’t worded that way.

If your teachings don’t agree with the bible, make a new bible.

Does anyone have an “old” new world translation. I can’t remember how Micah 6:8 was rendered.

Are You Satisfied With The Way The News Media Acts?

it would be a wonderful thing if the news media tried to exercise some fairness when they report the news or editorialize on a matter.

if the news media does not stop showing bias, i would like to see sanctions of some sort on the cnn’s of the world.

i really don’t think they can make the media fair but it would be nice..

hoser

We could petition the governing body to bring back “Watching the World” in the Awake Magazine. It might actually be less sensational than CNN.

"JW Box" $30 Logo Markup Scam!!!! Huge!!!

by thedepressedsoul in

so get this, wt has something they're calling a "jw box" that gives people in africa "spiritual food".

the best part, they want donations of $75 for it!

so they don't provide any physical food to people in africa but they can send them "spiritual food" for $75.

hoser

Why didn’t the borg make the jw box sticker big enough to cover the entire router? It would have eliminated the need for the piece of white tape to cover the original manufacturers information.

Do You Think “Protestors “Should Be Able To Shut Down Bridges Highways and Hospital Emergency Areas?

by minimus in

jw

some believe protesters have the “right” to block main roads, traffic and other places simply because they have a right to protest something.. in la, two deputies were ambushed and shot in the head and as the ambulance tried to take the fallen deputies to the emergency room, protesters blocked the way chanting they wished the police would die!

.

in nyc blm protesters blocked the george washington bridge and other major highways and streets to protest for their cause.. do you think this is acceptable?

hoser

In Canada we’ve had climate activists, animal rights activists and native rights activists shutting down farms, highways and railroad tracks.

People have a right to protest and that right needs to be protected in a democracy. However, as a businessman I have a right to transport my goods and provide services to customers.

A good compromise between the two groups is to allow businesses to be paid for economic losses due to missed shipments and delays. We should be able to send an invoice to individual protesters and green peace, BLM and Native groups for our losses.

Demurrage on a bulk vessel waiting in harbour is in the tune of $50,000 per day. A unit train sitting on a blocked track runs in the neighborhood of a few thousand dollars an hour.

Resolution passing with zoom

by jonahstourguide in

hi folks.. i put this in practices as i thought that appropriate.

perhaps it should be in scandalous behavior.

not a big deal but an example of the cult-ish intimidation and behavior.. at the end of this mornings short wt review prior to the convention brainwash by jackson, ( melbourne australia) the elder stated "brothers we have a resolution to present to the congregation".

Just don’t give any money. Not your problem.

“The Asiatic Mind” — Watchtower 1956

by slimboyfat in

searching instances of the word “simplify” in watchtower literature, i stumbled across this.. the asiatic mind finds it difficult to accept new ways, to simplify and to make advantageous changes.

they fear conversion and dislike others’ offering them help.

many continually live in a realm of unreality and refuse to face modern facts of life.

I’ve got an old golden age magazine from the 1920’s that uses the n word more than once.

Beards are depicted as normal in heaven but not on earth

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

the watchtower—study edition | august 2020. study article 32. walk humbly and modestly with your god.

jesus is depicted in the heavens.

next to him stand some of his co-rulers.

It’s a control thing. Carrot and the stick (to beat you with).

You can get privileges in the congregation but they come at a cost to your integrity as a human being.

If you don’t bow to the authoritarian pressure your privileges can be removed in a stroke of a pen.

I’m sure glad I checked out mentally years ago

So in the assembly they put in no use of medical drugs

by tottenkopf in

so watching the cults assembly video i am a bit confused about the whole girl asking about marijuana.

non medical use what exactly is that.

what do they mean "medical?

hoser

I thought that was interesting as well. Jade used the cannibas to help with her anxiety. Sounds medical to me. I guess they want her to switch to high end scotch as that seems to be the only approved vice.
