The Big Beautiful Bill giving birth to the OPPORTUNITY of Trump Wealthy Babies.

by liam in

i have lots of friends who had a new born this year, and they are excited as hell that they have an opportunity to give their children something they themselves didn’t get because their parents were hard-core jehovah's witnesses who refuse to support them in getting a better education to live a better life.. not only will they not raise their children as jehovah's witness, but they now have the opportunity to give their children a better life.

all my friends are still young, under 24, so they still have time, .

the "one big beautiful bill" includes a provision for "trump accounts," which will provide a one-time government contribution of $1,000 for every child born between january 1, 2025, and december 31, 2028. parents can also contribute up to $5,000 per year to these accounts.

If I remember correctly Liam is the trust fund baby that gets a monthly allowance from his uncle so I wouldn’t pay much attention to what he says.

$1000 isn’t much money anymore and tax sheltered investment accounts are nothing new. On top of that the $1000 is their own money, taxpayer money. It’s not like it’s a personal gift from Donald trump but he will most certainly take the credit for it.

However, it is good to encourage saving and investing. Too many people can’t manage finances and that is the reason Canada and the USA are in the bad financial shape they are in.

I would put Liam on par with our former prime minister Justin Trudeau so I wouldn’t waste your time arguing with him.

Nothing to see here.

Trump copied that idea from Canada

We’ve had that program for decades.

when did the jws make the rule that you couldn’t clink glasses together and raise glasses of wine?.

and why the change to being a conscience matter now?.

hoser

That’s how they roll Beth Sarim

They refer to a watchtower article or video as it is gospel

Its like they are making up their own bible again, like they did 75 years ago

So by that statement a reasoning person should conclude that the governing body shouldn’t make any rules that aren’t in the bible.

But reasoning isn’t a strong suit among jws

It seems the wealthy operate with a different set of rules.

Even in the Jehovah’s witnesses.

Demonic Influence While Intoxicated

by EisMe in

scripture consistently warns against intoxication, highlighting how substance abuse weakens judgment and opens individuals to spiritual deception.

while various herbs were used in biblical worship, they were only burned as incense, never smoked or ingested.

additionally, there is no historical record of marijuana being used in ceremonial worship, either in the bible or among ancient civilizations.. warnings against intoxication and loss of judgment.

Cannabis is a legal substance in many countries. It comes in many forms and may or may not be an intoxicant.

I see it as a medicine especially the CBD oils.

The watchtower is hanging on to its old beliefs about marijuana trying to keep the control over the sheeple. Alcohol and caffeine are the only drugs allowed by the Jehovah’s Witness religion.

Where I’m from they will have to consolidate congregations again just to have enough people to handle microphones.

Two preteen boys handling microphones.

The Kingdom Hall had about 40 to 50 in attendance. The majority were 55 plus in age. This is a merge of two congregations 2 years ago with 100 publishers each!

Zoom killed the org.
