democrats are always harping on and on about voting rights and how the ability to vote should be easier and access unrestricted.
the most progressive ones want to allow prisoners, and illegals with no voter id the ability to vote along with the criminals, drug addicts, and uneducated low lives who already can vote.. .
after they push for everyone and anyone to be able to vote they then tell us it is a sacred privilege, a duty and honor, and a big responsibility blah, blah ect..... if it is all those grandiose things are true i think it should be harder to vote not easier.
liam.....Trump is a convicted felon yet he voted the other day. How was this possible?
According to Forbes:
As a Florida resident with an out-of-state conviction, Trump would only be prohibited from voting if the state where he was convicted restricts him from voting, according to the Florida Division of Elections.
According to New York law, Trump would only be restricted from voting if he is behind bars, meaning Trump can still vote in Florida as long as he avoids prison time in New York.

Gun buyers are required to submit to a background check through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS)...The NICS has conducted more than 300 million checks since launching in 1998, leading to over 3 million denials.
I'm assuming you know that first line is not true. The vast majority of gun sales are private and untraced. I sold a 357 handgun out of my trunk in a McDonald's parking lot, lol. I've bought and sold hunting guns off Craigslist and classified ads. Background checks, that's hilarious. The 3 million gun buyers that failed the background check just bought what they wanted at the next gun show.
But the op was about facilitating every citizen's right to vote, If all Americans embraced that right as dearly as some embrace their '2nd amendment right', we would not be having this discussion.
1. the continuity and visibility of the church.
the true church must be continuous from the apostolic age.
there is no room in christianity for a "gap" or interruption of thousands of years during which true christianity ceased to exist and then was revived in the form of another movement.
Not that anyone is really going to change their mind but consider that in the wheat/weed parable the field was 'Israel'. The 'time of the harvest' was thought of as imminent. The writer understood himself to be standing at the end of a long wait (not the beginning) for God to sort the 'true' Israel from the larger Jewish/Christian population. That's standard sectarian language. It has perfect parallels with Qumran writings for example.

Anyone who believes qualified citizens should not be enabled to vote, should take a stand and protest the election.
Believe me when I say, I support your right to not vote.
Funny how those who say gun buying should be without any background checks or restrictions are the same who want background checks and restrictions on voting.
i didn’t get the covid vaccine, but i admit, i was scared as shit i made the wrong decision because there was so much confusion out there.
practically all my family and most of my friends took the vaccine because everyone was depending on those in charge to speak the truth.
now a lot of them are sick, and they can't figure out why.
Best estimate is that the death rate of those infected with Spanish influenza was about .6%. to some today that would seem hardly worth worrying about.
Our first set of data with COVID-19 came from China and it looked like the fatality rate was much higher , more like that of related outbreaks like SARS and MERS.
Out of 17,238 early COVID-19 cases 321 ended in death. Nearly 2%. As we know data was incomplete and we got better at treating it and vaccinations primed immune systems to cope when they were exposed. It also helped the virus mutated to a less virulent strain. Looking back the best estimated cfr was about 1.2%
What I'm getting at is we lived through genuine history. At least most of us did.

The Spanish influenza compared. Read the whole thing.

As Michael Shermer once put it, 'Smart people are actually better at rationalizing things they arrived at through non-smart reasons.'
Two reasons, First, due to their otherwise good decision making, they may be more blind to the idea that they are vulnerable to conspiracy theories or other irrational conclusions. I.E. their confidence in their own intelligence, can feed a confirmation bias formed through religious, political, cultural leanings.
Secondly, they are good at stringing together rationalizations.

there was a time they preached the great tribulation was a short period of time between the fall of babylon and jesus coming back to save them, now they realize there are difficult years ahead of us, watch this latest morning worship video by per christensen on this subject .
It's been said recently, and it seems reasonable; they are building towards saying they are in the 'great tribulation '. They might be waiting for some trigger event to use. It solves their 1914 problem yet keeps the heat on.
my family had several elders, ministerial servants, auxillary pioneers etc, so it certainly wasn't one of those 'barely in' families.
but in certain small ways, i think mine were slightly less hard line than some other families i've heard stories about over the years.
one example was the 'fall dinner'.
Same here. It would be a low impact, but welcome, change for church leadership to begin 'allowing' it's people to openly gather without the pretence.
Any small steps toward normalization would work for the psychological good. Maybe the next batch of masters.
"when will this hope be fulfilled?
the bible foretold events that would signal that god’s kingdom is about to begin its rule over the earth.
present world conditions match what the bible foretold.
Jesus clearly warned us that some people wolud predict things that would not come true. That makes them a false prophet.
You know who else that makes a 'false prophet'?
28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.....Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.
The writers who put the words above in the mouth of Jesus.
