  I thought Biden would be left in the dust, but such is life. I don't think he is a good candidate. He looks confused some times and he is not sharp anymore -- definitely showing his age.

  But I still rather have him than crazy Warren, or any other extreme left candidates. I think Biden will win the nomination, and I think he will the election also due to his helpful association with Obama, which continue to be popular. Looking at the numbers, it's pretty clear that there are a lot more votes overall, so many of the folks who stayed home on election day will turn out this time, and they are turning out for Biden.

  I will vote for Biden i guess, given the other option is an egomaniac unhinged troll, who captured the White House on the backs of idiot Americans.

  Trump will get the votes of the people who are expected to vote for him regardless of how he acts or does, but there will be more votes on the other side this time I think.

  Greta Thunberg, Worse than Plague

  so greta thunberg thinks the world pollutes too much.

  specifically, the parts of the world that pollute the least and have the cleanest industries.

  she doesn't seem to care about india or china who are the biggest polluters by far.. "how dare they".

  I don't think her age is an issue. If she was some prodigy that has studied the science and was knowledgable about it I'd be more than happy to listen to her.

  And yet, you and others don't listen to the entire science community that DID study science and IS knowledgeable.

  I guess the key is to get the conservative propaganda apparatus to finally agree with science so that ideology-driven skeptics can also get on board.

  Well if you agree with Greta, that the situation is so dire, the Coronavirus has done far more than she ever has to reduce pollution.

  Well sure.. The reality is that the Coronovirus is a lot more scary than Greta.

  For all intents and purposes, humans are great at reacting to immediate threats that are tangible, and where you can see the impact, but we are terrible at reacting to things which are slow in being manifested.

  You can see this in every aspect of our lives. Smokers are ok with each puff of cigarettes they take, even as it helps them inch closer to cancer. After all, they get up everyday and feel ok, they can eat, go to work, enjoy their lives, all is seemingly well. But as soon as pain hits, and they feel the impact, now it's "all hands on deck", immediately stop smoking, change their diet, and do everything they can do reverse it. Why didn't they do it when they had the chance?

  It will be the same with climate change. You get up, it's cold outside, how could there be climate change? You can still eat well, watch tv, go out, take vacations, buy a new car... so you kick the can down the street.

  But once the oceans rise enough that some cities become unlivable and causes massive displacement of population, or when weather patterns change, and once fruitful growing areas slowly become deserts, then you can bet that even the most delusional skeptic will have to bow down to science, and beg government to implement policies that will reverse the course the history at a time when it'll be too late to do it.

  Coronavirus / Covid-19 - The canary in the coal mine

  is anyone prepping by buying food that has a long shelf life?

  i have been messing with it for years.

  buying fat free powder milk, bullion cubes, rice, beans dried, and other things that has a shelf life of 25 years.

  Like others, I have been thinking about it. I do have a short supply of canned food always stored, but nowhere near what you would consider being prepared.

  I will probably buy a bucket of emergency food online to last a few months, in case the zombie apocalypse hits. I do have a small propane stove, a good supply of lighting options, including batteries, flashlights, oil lamp.

  I don't have a backup for water, I guess i'm hoping it wouldn't get turned off.

  Sometimes I wonder the amount of chaos churned from a serious disruption of services. I'm pretty sure society would turn into a jungle. It is well knows that nearly half Americans don't even have a few bucks saved for emergencies, so you can be sure they are zero prepared in any other way.

  Looting and rioting would soon follow especially in cities where people are piled up and heavily depend on supply chains.

  May 2020 Watchtower They Admit, they don't know

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  they'll write pages and pages of stuff and yet they don't have any idea.. here's a paragraph from their latest speculations on future events, bolding is mine.. a prophecy recorded by ezekiel gives some insight into what may happen during the last days of the king of the north and the king of the south.

  if we view the prophecies of ezekiel 38:10-23; daniel 2:43-45; 11:44–12:1; and revelation 16:13-16, 21 as speaking about the same time period and events, it appears that we can expect the following developments.. that's an awful lot of assumptions to make.

  what they've done is picked out various scriptures from different parts of the bible and now state that they may or may not be talking about the same events.

  @OP,

  You didn't list specifically what they are implicitly predicting. It would be nice to see that as well if you can.

  Michael Bloomberg—what’s your opinion of him?

  It seemed to be so necessary simply because Trump didn’t offer his.

  Again, no. Nobody created a rule for Trump. It is standard practice that every POTUS discloses tax returns in an effort to be transparent. Logically they have all disclosed it, because they have nothing to hide.

  This is how you know the type of Trump supporter that has been brainwashed. It's the same type of stupidity as when JWs say that they are ok with the Watchtowell not opening their financial books, because they trust their leader.

  Idiots and gullible morons who rather stay in step with their cult affiliation than knowing the naked truth about things.

  Do JWs believe that animals were created to live in harmony? Lion and the lamb

  by Doubledecker in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  thanks to all who replied to my first post, i appreciate you taking the time to do so.. i left jws for my own reasons as a teenager as i just simply didn’t believe it .

  i am enjoying playing catch up with all the information out there now showing multiple examples of false prophecies , covering up the truth and the jw broadcasting stuff is amazing ( as said before i’ve just ignored the organisation for 30 years ) , it’s totally brainwashing evangelical propaganda.. however i digress .... as a young kid i used to ask , “if in paradise the “ lion will lay with lamb “ and all creatures will live in harmony, why for example does a snake have venom if not to eat another creature ?”.

  like i say i was 10 years old i remember so please excuse the childish question.. but do they actually believe that was gods original plan for animals ?

  In fact this was one of my first doubts. I remember asking my bible study conductor why lions and other animals have bodies, teeth and claws which are perfect to eat other animals.

  I distinctly remember that he didn't have an answer and just told me in a somewhat annoyed way that I had to have faith.

  Do you really care about seeing someone’s tax returns? I don’t. I don’t think any candidate needs to prove what money they make. As long as they are filing it’s their business.

  Oh ye of little understanding... Let's see if we can get those brain gears of yours working. The reason why there is interest in seeing a president's tax returns is not to see how much money they make.

  Now, come on, see if you can figure out the reason why that's important. Let's go, i'm sure you can do it.
