  Tulsi Gabbard would surely be the best candidate by a mile to stand against Trump.

  The VP on the ticket is going to have to be a woman. Gotta bring in those female voters. Gabbard would be good but Hawaii is a blue State anyway. They really need a woman (esp if a minority female) from a purple State to help draw that State into the blue column. Klobuchar would pull in MINN.

  Whether it's Biden or Bernie, the old dude is likely to die in office (or lose it mentally), so that VP is going to likely become Pres.

  DOC...it was said on SNL in a spoof of her. To the brainless leftists that is the same thing. ~ Doctor Who

  Let's be honest. SNL might be a better source of news than CNN or MSNBC.

  holding my binoculars trying to see Russia

  Just one example of the things Palin DID NOT SAY.

  Not running here in defense of her. Just setting the record straight.

  I never liked her. I said from the first day that McCain picked her that he sealed his fate in the election. Silly old man choosing young blonde bimbo.

  Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.

  latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.

  the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

  I was in stores yesterday. No shortages on anything. No one stocking up on TP or water.......or anything, that I noticed. Guess we're all just gonna die of thirst, starvation, or dysentery (without TP) when the pandemic hits here.

  Imagine the next Saturday Night Live if Trump had said it.

  May 2020 Study WT - more convoluted false prophesying

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the first two study articles of the latest wt raise the usual sense of urgency with more of the same theological quackery russell would be proud of.. first up, something we've always known, the embarrassing admission that jws think they are the center of the universe:.

  even though god’s servants make up only a small portion of the world’s population, they are often at the center of major world events.

  because satan and his entire system have one prime objective—conquering those who serve jehovah .

  I think most JW's have no idea what is going on in their religion. Most never open the WT (or pull it up on their iPad) until it's time for the meeting. Then they kinda "snooze" through the meetings and miss most of it. Especially true the brothers who are handling "responsibilities". They are barely in their seats.

  But, most JW's don't give a ratsass about the doctrine. It's their network. Their Social Club. They just drink the Koolaid and follow the Piper.

  Biden supporters better look closely at his pick for Vice President because Sleepy Joe will be over 78 when he is sworn in (if he wins). Biden's physical health seems better than his mental health. When you watch him on stage the man is clearly "slipping" mentally. If he doesn't die in office, I wouldn't be surprised to see the 25th Amendment invoked because of his "dementia" or some inability to serve.
  

  Sanders would be well over 79 years old, and just had a massive heart attack and refuses to release his medical records pertaining to his recent health. Seems to me he has a damn good chance of croaking in office and his VP having to step up to the plate.
  

  Trump will be (only) 74 years old at his 2nd inauguration (if he is reelected) but seems to be in good health.

  Donating Blood a Disfellowshipping Offense?

  by HiddenPimo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i served as an elder i never heard of this scenario presenting itself - giving blood.. has anyone heard of a judicial case where a person donated and was disfellowshipped?

  are there any references to this in the jw publications, manuals, handbooks?.

  not so hiddenpimo :-).

  This would be "delicate" ground to tread.

  For example, if you had a family member that required Factor VIII (for clotting), could you donate your blood to help contribute to their needs. Factor VIII is one of the JW "fractions" that is acceptable. I cannot image Red Cross giving you any kind of "guarantee" that your blood would go to that cause.

  Funny how these in it to the end Dems are dropping out, could this be why?

  by JimmyYoung in

  i am wondering if the dems dropping out who were "in it to the end" are dropping out because of having to shake hands and go into crowds with the corona virus spreading.

  hmmm.

  "Why drop out the day before Super Tuesday?"

  I think the democrat party leadership cut deals with Amy and Pete. Pete won't be elected for any Statewide office in his home State of Indiana. He's likely been offered something in Biden's cabinet. Amy might even be looked at as VP. She'd pull in the women's vote (and she doesn't have the ABC poison -- Anybody But Clinton), and what a great spot to find yourself in after the election -- VP for a 77 year old President with dementia. If Biden doesn't die, they'll probably use the 25th Amendment against him.

  If the men on the governing body can't get this issue right, how can they be trusted with anything?

  Seems that applies to most things JW (doctrines, prophecies, policies, etc).
