i can't believe william shatner is 90 years old but doesn't look like other 90 year olds that i've met.
is it genetic?
is it lifestyle.

now, many years later, i remember the 1995 generation change, very well.. since early youth, hearing my father explaining in field service the 2520 years.
it was his main theme in the field.. with the change my doubts started.
with some jw friends we did not trust the organization anymore.
That generation change really caused me to change my outlook on my employment situation. I had "jobs" until then. I figured the end was so close and I didn't sweat about the future.
Sadly, I see so many JW's who still live like that. I think of one couple, now in their 60's, who have refinanced their home numerous times. Each time they pay of credit cards and buy new furnishings and take a vacation but end up with a higher mortgage that they think they will never have to pay off. And they are correct about it in one way........
They think Armageddon will bail them out on the mortgage so they won't have to pay it off, but in reality they will simply die in debt -- but at least they won't have to pay it off.
i replied to a lesbian on the quora website who tried to state that god destroyed sodom because of the violent rape the people were trying to commit, not because they were homosexuals.
her argument perperuated so often was that it stated nothing about sex between "two consenting adults".
but, instead of using the bible scriptures such as a man shall not lay down with another as a woman, i used something else you never hear anyone use.... i told her to look to genesis 6:1-4 .
Here is the PM I received from the OP and my reply:
QUOTE: I know War, ect is bad. The Good thing is...with homosexuality rising so quickly at an all time high, it shows how close we are till God steps in again and clears the earth of them all. His purpose will be all that is left, and then only the righteous. Isn't that great!
REPLY: Go blow smoke up somebody else's ass. Or go "count your time" somewhere else. I've been hearing that shit for over 60 fucking years. JW's have been preaching it for over 120 years. And Christianity has been espousing it for Centuries. It's always RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. You're fucking delusional and you don't even know it. Have you missed your Depakote? Just like all the "Old Timer" faithful JW's that I've known (and many of whom I respected) thru the years, you too will die thinking IT'S RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.

Maybe that's why there is all the war, genocide, oppression, murder, assault?
God is too busy worrying about two gals that are carpet munchers or two guys sucking c * * k.

So much for that Holy Spirit direction BS.

Even the best politicians would find it hard to match the WT's art of putting the spin on anything they way they want it to appear.
lots 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.
Official policy now says taking a transfusion is not a DF'ing matter. Quite simply someone has "left the faith" (DA'd) by their choice (actions) if they are not repentant about caving in a moment of spiritual weakness when agreeing to accept a transfusion.
This way WTS can claim that they take no punitive action against one accept blood transfusions to save their life or the life of a loved one. Of course, we know that when they say that person has by their own choice disassociated themself, it means the same damn thing.

Lots of seeds were actually planted by a “Bible Study”. Claimed he was not getting his info online. I think now they was BS. The TTATT is a lot more reasonable and convincing than The Troof.
hi to all americans.. i read this interesting summary of politics in the u.s. at the moment.. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-10-01/us-politics-wrap-debt-ceiling-nancy-pelosi/100503466.
is it 'on the money' so to speak?.
i ask because i often read reports of what's going on here in australia in overseas media.
I watch Australian Sky News on YouTube. It seems spot on though admittedly aligned with the conservative side of the aisle.
