  $5 a gallon gasoline ( petrol)--if only! we pay a lot more than that in the UK. ~ Stan
  

  It was $1.88/US Gal here until Biden got elected. It's now $2.09 or higher (saw $2.28 yesterday) and the man is only in office one day.

  You folks in the UK have obviously been getting f*cked longer and harderer by your politicians than us in the US. Surely there is no higher cost to refine oil there than here. Plus you don't have to ship it halfway around the world.

  Also consider that the US is 40x larger than Britain. We likely drive a little further in the average day/week/year and it has a greater impact on our personal finances. AND, we LOVE our SUV's.

  After 4 years of Biden's Party introducing false accusations ie, Russian Hoax and the two BS impeachments, plus illegal spying thanks to the lies in the Steele Dossier, do you really think Trump should be "respectful" and attend the asshole's inauguration? Nah, he did the "right thing" by symbolically "flipping off" Joe and his cronies. The Swamp Culture will continue to try to ruin Trump. Trump supporters will never forget this nor be swayed to the "dark side" however I fear the Deep State will "rig the system" in the next two years so that there is no chance to derail their Global World Plan.

  JWs Were Right About Something

  they used to say the world governments would turn on religion.

  i think this part is coming true.

  however they also said since jehovah’s witnesses were going to be the only religion left the governments were going to focus on the “eyeball”of jehovah, his people.

  what are the society's rules when confronting a disfellowshipped person at a funeral service?.

  are there specific rules or watchtower articles that must be followed?.

  i have been to three different wakes/funerals where a disfellowshipped person attended with different results.. 1. ten years ago my first cousin passed away.

  I'm the guy (even as an elder) in case #2. Jesus yielded and ignored the law when speaking with the Samaritan women at the wall. "By law", he should have been put to death. Regardless of what you think about the JW DFing rule (frankly I now think it's bullshit) but even as a JW, "yielding" to show your sympathy to someone who has lost a loved one is THE RIGHT THING TO DO. Shunning them is a BAD witness to others and it hardens their resolve to NEVER "return to Joe Hoover".

  JW's as in Case #3 are self-righteous pompous assholes.

  In Case #1, I agree with your assessment that JW Elders think they have the authority to just "take over" and enforce their rules and their thinking. FUCK 'EM if they're not paying the funeral bill (or insert whatever occasion).

  Comparison of the vaccines.

  AstraZeneca is "old style" vaccine vs the "new" mRNA technology used in the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines that introduce a genetic code into your DNA. I hope the AstraZeneca become available here in the US shortly.

  I'd suggest sending that to all your (former) JW friends and put the return address of your local Kingdom Hall.

  $5+ gasoline, rolling blackouts, brownshirts, a duty to retreat even if you have a (unregistered) weapon. (redistributing wealth but not from the really wealthy) .........In the US you should learn enough Spanish to get by.

  Yes. Biden is signing 18 Executive Orders today after his inauguration (though it's doubtful he has idea what they say or mean).

  Stop Keystone Pipeline ($5 gas is coming)

  Join Paris Climate Accord (Doubling of your electric bill is coming) along with "brownouts" (but not just in CA)

  Halt to deportations and immigration reform (Lots of new Democrat voters) and Repeal of the ban on immigrants from (dangerous) Muslim Nations (lots of new hate crime) and you should likely learn some Arabic too.
