  @Jeffro: once again, you claim they didn’t know the training was on there, while employees claimed they were sent there to follow that course.

  Why out of 16,000 courses or whatever were they sent to that particular one. Doesn’t pass the sniff test nobody in charge didn’t know and nobody made it mandatory.
  

  Moreover, LinkedIn allows you to brand “learning collections” which means you have to curate the content on LinkedIn in order to slap your label and brand on it. There is no public “coca cola diversity training” collection, you have to login with a Coca Cola corporate account to create and gain access.

  @disillusioned: why should people who are immune have to continue to wear masks? Don’t you believe that the vaccines work? Or do you believe as one of the leaders of the BLM movement and ally to many Democrats congress members a few days ago to his millions of followers: “it is a vial of death”.

  @Jeffro: read across America day was created in commemoration of and on the birthday of Theodore Geisel. The Biden admin “cancelled” Dr. Seuss books from its reading curriculum (which means someone in the Biden admin gave that order, which means there is a statute or directive to this fact somewhere, according to Psaki this was the DOE) and has said “I don't think there is any danger in ignoring a debate on Mr. Potato Head and Dr. Seuss”.

  By ignoring the debate they aren’t upholding the spirit of the first amendment, by internal order they are removing books that Michele Obama and Melania Trump and other Presidents and First Ladies have had themed parties and book readings with. Sure it’s all fluff and PR but it is indicative of the spirit of this administration.

  @Jeffro: you can’t ban Huckleberry Finn or Mein Kampf because the copyright has expired anyone can publish those books. They are definitely and should be used in schools. I know of no right wing schools that ban books, not all religions are right wing, the values of freedom and individual rights core to the conservative political spectrum do not align with many extremists. Centralized control and social conformity such as seen among JWs and Islam are more of a left wing notion. The only reason many Christians tend to vote right is because of singular issues such as abortion and the division of church and state.

  The notion of copyright is that they would be used to make a profit for the author before going into public domain as all books were seen as important. If you use extended copyright, well after the author has disappeared, to block the dissemination of information against the authors will and effectively “burn” the book, your copyright should expire.

  @Ghost: If your actions infringe on my or other people's natural rights, then it's immoral. Otherwise it isn't. There is no grey area. If you believe taking other people's property is your right, then you are so far gone, you should be jailed and if no government does pursue or cares (which is currently the state in most cities in the US) you have the right to defend yourself.

  The laws we enact in the US are primarily NOT about natural rights, but about either the taking away of those rights (which is always immoral) or the regulation of commerce and exchange of goods (for good or for bad). There are no moral laws, laws that aren't immoral can turn out to have immoral or moral effects, but the laws in and of themselves do not create or shape good morality.

  And yes, we all "know" our moral rights and duties, they have been encoded in EVERY religious and other long-lasting books because from the beginning of time people have known inherently something is wrong about taking life, property and the pursuit of happiness from others except in the protection of those simple needs. That is not saying the entire set of religious text is correct, but when you distil and find the commonality of things across multiple ancient religions, you'll find that they always turn out to be the same "rules" which turn out to be how people express the inherent/animalistic feeling/drive we have to maintain life, society and the survival of the species.

  But government isn't there to tell us what we all know is morally wrong. They are there to carry out justice - after the fact. There is very little government can do for your neighbor to not murder you, they can assign a police officer to every citizen, which would be government overreach, but it's unlikely even that will stop crime.

  Likewise with COVID, assigning a mask to everyone did not stop the spread. Facts are that 95% of Americans masked up with or without a mandate, and places like Florida that never had a mandate, had higher rates of masking.

  If we had to listen to government, Fauci said not to mask up in March-June 2020, many people did (hence there being a shortage). Masks reduce the spread where there are high incidences of cases. We have a vaccine, it is estimated anywhere between 30 and 70% of the population already has been in contact and thus have developed immunity naturally, people that have gotten sick have immunity.

  If you tell people they need to wear a mask and socially distance and stay at home even after a vaccine has been made available to those at risk, why get a vaccine at all? There must be incentive to get the vaccine, not needing a mask is incentive.

  @Ghost: In the US firefighters and ambulances are not federally regulated. Typically they are not ran by any government, in few places where it is, you get issues like NYC and other cities where EMT's are uncoordinated, charge extraordinarily high rates and have to wait in line up to 30 minutes to bring in their patients to government-ran hospitals.

  Privately owned public hospitals, volunteer and professional ambulances and firefighters in the US that are independent from government oversight are the reason we have some of the best equipped systems with the best response times in the world, helicopters, designated ambulances specially equipped for stroke and heart attack.

  Sure it's "expensive", but the combination of insurance and taxes in the US is still lower compared to the taxes you'll pay in places like Europe.

  The Site is Going Down!!!

  so i'm sure many of us here have used the site https://ad1914.com/, apparently the domain had expired.

  this site was instrumental to my waking up.

  i have been able to use it to direct others to as well since it had a large collection of matters dealing with the validity of the "gentile times" claim.

  @jeffro: the problem is exactly the mandates, government telling you what to do and what to wear isn’t healthy.

  Masks (N95) do indeed protect YOU from being sick. If you are sick, sneezing in a mask - with the big caveat being it needs to be worn correctly - prevents you from ejecting your droplets further but it doesn’t stop you completely from spreading.

  Most people don’t know how to wear a mask correctly, it takes medical students 6 months-1 year to learn how to properly don both N95 (to protect themselves) and surgical masks (to protect others). The majority of people I see do not wear correctly, most people take their mask off to sneeze, scratch their nose etc which makes the mask counter-effective and the data bears this out.

  All the tests on mask wearing preventing the spread were done with aerosols, when real world tests were conducted, masks had virtually no effect on particle spread. All the data shows that locked down systems with strict mandates across the world have higher spread and death rates. Compare California, NY and NJ with Florida which never had a mandate; likewise compare Texas pre- and post-mandate, government interference (as usual) makes things worse.

  The problem is through the unscientific mandates, mask wearing has become a religious practice, if you’re woke enough you even do it while driving in your car and when you’re at home (yes, that’s a thing). But for the population, it’s a form of government control as it is scientifically proven to be counter effective.

  Didn't they already move all the assets out of Australia though? I thought I read something about that here.

  What will happen is that they'll get the claims, file for bankruptcy and that will be it. The congregations will be restarted under a different corporation.
