nicola sturgeon's daft plan to introduce a gender bill which allows anyone aged 16 and over to legally change gender without a doctor's diagnosis of gender dysphoria has rightly been stopped by pm rishi sunak.. under the rules of devolvement, the uk government can overrule holyrood if the pm so chooses.. lots of predictable howling form the scotch nuts, with ridiculous claims that rishi is trying to organise a fight with holyrood.
of course, it's actually the other way round - the snp has been trying to pass this gender bill in order to drive a wedge between scotland and the rest of the uk.. sensibly, rishi has pulled rank on sturgeon and stopped her nonsense.. nicola sturgeon needs to know her place ....
So... gender is just a label, like your name?
Yes it is.
This week in the US, a teenage girl complained about a transgender woman, which is to say a man, walking around a girls locker room naked, and she was properly shamed and chastised.
So, if a man exposes his genitals to young girls, he is likely arrested, and put on the sex offenders list. However if he does the same thing, and claims to be a woman, well then he is praised as a beacon of progressiveness.
Got it now?
how much of the preaching hours in yearly report you think are real?
they always have high numbers preaching hours.
probably increase every decade.
what is interesting is that the Org talks about field serve-us as "urgent" and "critical". But individual Jdubs don't act like that. Coffee, walking slow between homes, stopping at home, basically do everything you can do actually not talk to people at all.
supposedly, god jehovah, el , or whatever else he may have been called many thousands of years ago, or so the storys goes ,dealt with humans on a regular basis communicating with them for either good or bad.according to how they pleased him or displeased him.. so the bible record says.. how is it that god , jehovah or whatever other name you want to call him has not communicated with humans on any level for the past 2000 years ???.
in this scientific ,technological age ,wouldn`t you think this would be the time he would communicate with the potential dangers we face in potentially destroying ourselves and ruining the planets wildlife unless he interveined ?.
that`s if you even beleive that such a god actually exists .. and if he does why so silent in this day and age,?.
Well what would you say if you started working for a company 30 years ago, when they were using pen and paper for everything, and now as the world evolved into the digital world, your employer was still making you use pen and paper? Would they be worth of any admiration?
The creator of the entire universe, holder of all knowledge, as decided that in 2022 the best way to communicate with humans is to make them read a book written by goat herders thousands of years ago, filled with bronze age "wisdom", vague ethical rules, contradictions, and stories that conflict with science.
here in 2022 if anyone says anything against the vaccines even a little bit you are almost apostate.. someone once mentioned all vaccinated sports stars collapsing and someone else said not to speak badly about the gb or by extension jehovah.. the gb can’t get out of this one, it’s gone too far.
it’s now the case that if you speak against the vaccines you are speaking against the gb and by extension jehovah .
The discussion about vaccines shouldn't be about possible side effects. Of course every medication has side effects, some of them deadly for a few individuals.
The issue is the desperation to keep those side effects secret from the pharma companies with the help of the political e$tabli$hment, as well as the attempts at imposing vaccines on those that don't want it.
If you want to take the vaccine plus 10 boosters, be my guest. You accept the risk of any side effects, but on the other hand increase your resistance to the virus. Those that don't want it, take a higher risk of dying of the virus but avoid the risk fo side effects.
That is the only logical way of handling this. Freedom for all.
in the us, our mega millions lottery jackpot has reached over 1billion dollars!
what would you do if you won?
i think i’d run public service announcements on television, alerting people of the dangers of the wt cult, among other things.
One half he would spend on booze, cars and loose women.
The other half he would just fritter away.
I think George Best say that.
a new space telescope launched a few days age that will supposedly be able to see to within 100 million years of the big bang.
wow... only 100 million years from the big bang.
that is pretty early given the 12 billion year age of the universe assigned by scholars who adhere to naturalism.
The big bang is just a theory, the best current explanation for the existence of the universe
Even if that theory is shown to be without merit, that doesn't automatically mean that your theory that it was magic is real either.
Just like the scientists, you are going to have to show your evidence that a grand wizard pulled the universe out of a hat.
september 2022 study watchtower - par.
14 p. 18 - "after all, no one will be allowed to practice vile things in the new world.
the unrighteous must have practiced these vile things before their death.
To be fair, they really mean nobody will do vile things after the 1000 years period.
It's always been common knowledge that during the 1000 years, the resurrected will be weeded out based on transgressions.

record-breaking temperatures worldwide—what does the bible say?.
Can't let a crisis go to waste.
The WT and other religious nutcases have benefited from the fact the the writers of the goat herders manual, were so vague about the predictions that they can be used for anything.
There will be "fearful sights". Oh really? Is there anything terrible that can't be applied to that?
"There will be earthquakes in some places".... oh ok. Want to give us more detail goat herder? What day and time, and where? Then your prediction can have some teeth.
Here I can make a prediction that is just as impressive:
Oh ye of little faith, there will be plane crashes in the future..... Now, I won't tell you when, where, how many or any other details. Just remember to give me credit when the next one happens.
the bible records resurrections and there is orher evidence besides that gives hope.
what do you think, is there enough evidence to believe in another life?.
The Bible records resurrections and there is other evidence
Fairy tale accounts by middle eastern goat herders are not evidence. And there is no other evidence, so no, i don't believe it.
i know there was a leak a few weeks back, but this really does seem to have come out of the blue.. the anomaly was the original decision.
it clearly had no basis in law or the constitution, and was a flimsy, ridiculous ruling.
plus the whole thing was based on a fraudulent case in the first place.. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61928898.
The “viability” argument isn’t viable. I can take a sampling of modern humans, drop them in the wilderness and they are no longer “viable.” That doesn’t mean their lives aren’t important.
Sorry, but that's a really silly argument.
In any case, this is not about viability. This is about trying to figure out the point where a piece of living tissue has developed enough features that we would normally associate it with calling someone an individual.
