Are You Concerned About Inflation?
by Simon ini saw a statistic the other day that something like 25% of all the debt that the us has incurred since 1776 was created in the last 12 months.
that's because they have printed so much currency and instead of letting that stop them, they are going to continue printing more to go on a spending spree on crazy green-new-deal schemes and union handouts.. does anyone think that this can be anything other than inflationary?
they are effectively stealing the wealth of everyone to then hand money out to people.

I'm old and not so worried that I will go hungry. Though that could change if commodities are simply not available and store shelves are empty. Then no amount of money is enough.
But I worry so for my (middle-age kids) and my grandchildren. We have worked hard to be frugal and try to leave a nest egg for them for college and first homes, etc. But in 10 years at 15% inflation what will a million dollars be worth? Maybe good for buying a new car?
The tax and spend philosophy of the "left" has got to stop. I would think at some point the sane and rational liberals would awaken (not to be confused with being "woke") and see the upcoming train wreck. I fear even more that the GOP/conservatives have gravitated to "cut taxes & spend". It's the crazy spending frenzy that has to stop.
There ain't no free lunch. People have got to EARN what they get. The gimme more and more and more cannot continue. But I think most of the freeloaders don't really care that what they are receiving must be paid for by someone else. Thus these are come know as "entitlements".
"Armageddon" may not be that far off after all.

Only goes to show that if Adam were to be resurrected, the only thing he would recognize would be the jokes.

There is some truth in scripture;
Matt 7:6 ~ "neither throw your pearls before swine".
As some of you are guilty here.

No.
Although my son who is a nurse claims that patients who believe in prayer and a Higher Power have better recovery.
I just write reminders to myself.

Oh you got that right, I have seen the dumbest of people appointed on the grounds of being a good "company man".
A real blessing was cutting the Public Talk from an hour to 45 minutes to just 30 minutes.
The pain of sitting through one being given by an unqualified elder has been greatly reduced.

Can you get disfellowship for kissing a person of the same sex?
by pistolpete ini found this on exjwreddit.
a pimo elder is in the middle of an event where a former co allegedly kissed a brother from another hall.. the co denied it so the other elders are frustrated because they can't have a judicial meeting.
if true, can he be disfellowshipped?

I'd be curious to know from what culture the men were from. At least in the US, two hetero dudes kissing is.........well....... weird. But not sure that is the case in all cultures.

Tennis Controversy in Australia
by smiddy3 inapr 20, 2020. novak djokovic sparks a backlash after publicly opposing the covid-19 vaccine.
he says: âpersonally, i am opposed to vaccination, and i wouldnât want to be forced by someone to take a vaccine in order to be able to travel.â.
asked by sky news australia anchor danica de giorgio why djokovic was granted the visa in the first place, the home affairs minister said: âtheyâre entirely separate processesâ.. âto gain entry to australia you need both â you actually need the visa, which is determined quite separately, and then you have to meet the entry requirements,â she said.. âi know that people are putting the two issues together, but the visa application process and the granting of a visa is very separate to the additional entry requirements that every traveller needs to meet to be able to enter australia.â.

Countries have rules. If you don't want to abide by those rules you can't enter.
Too damn bad the US has not figured that out.

1st Century Christians had no convents, but they all lived in a commune. You sold everything and gave the money to the congregation. In turn you would have you basic necessities met. ~ Truth b known
TBK, when the WT crew assigned to review this board reads your post I'm really afraid of what you might have just initiated for JDubs.
