I should have added that, as an American, I believe in due process. It would be un-American and unethical to assume Trump had engaged in illegal sexual activity with underaged girls through his friendship with Epstein. Tempting as it is.

Being named in these documents does not indicate any wrongdoing related to Epstein or anyone else. The list includes many of Epstein’s accusers and alleged victims, as well as people with only tangential connections to Epstein who were pulled into the lawsuit against Maxwell.

@peacefulpete: unrest near oil producing places - if you drill domestically, that is much less of a problem - if you don’t start wars that is much less of a problem.
That will only work if you repeal the 2016 provision for domestic oil/gas to be sold on open market and you enforce price controls. That is possible but not likely. The logic of 'soft power' through trade is a large topic but an important aspect of these questions.
As far as tariffs is concerned, for the first 200 years of US existence there were no income taxes, it was tariffs that drove investment in domestic production and the Industrial Revolution which made the US from a British backwater into the most powerful nation on earth.
The economics of the 18th and 19th centuries were very different from modern economics, because the world is no longer filled with imperialism and slavery for example. Even so, there are some lessons that can be learned. For example, the Embargo Act of 1807 did stimulate a more diverse domestic production as hoped, but it never equaled the loss to the larger GDP. It created black markets and fueled smuggling. It also destroyed relationships with Britian and France. This led to war.
Embargo Act of 1807 - Wikipedia
The US also face multiple rounds of recession and collapse during those 200 years. America did not become a superpower until the devastation of Europe from WW1 and WW2.
if you don’t start wars that is much less of a problem
The US has not started a war since 2001. (Officially of course not since WW2). And as regards Trump's record, I'll remind you he reversed the Obama administration's decision to not send javelin missiles to Ukraine. (notwithstanding the illegal personal motivations for offering this assistance and for unfreezing aid). He also circumvented Congressional approval to sell weapons to the Saudis for its war with Houthis. Trump also sold jets to Qatar despite saying they were sponsors of terrorism.

So....The Beroean Pickets thing has become a cult as well? Not surprising if so. It's like trying to reheat rotten roadkill.

Fashion in Heaven
by peacefulpete inwhy is it that fashions are assumed to have stayed the same in heaven for thousands of years?
you'd think that after wearing the same boring robe for eternity you'd crave something different.
yet no, angels and god are still wearing the same white onesie they had when they vacationed on earth with abraham.

The two most 'iconic' symbols of Judaism are a star and menorah shaped as a fruiting almond tree. Lots of irony.

It can also be said of swords, crowns, harps and scepters. Drawing Jesus with a machine gun, or angels playing electric guitars invokes a negative reaction.

gossip
by Nancy1919 ini was once was told by an jw elder it was a rule not to gossip or swear as it could harm someone, but i guess the new light allows this.
it was bad enough when they were calling people worldly now i heard a jw gossiping about someone and it was mean.just another reason i would never go back.

Hey Nancy and welcome. Yes, the 'counsel' not to gossip is lost in a group dynamic rooted in judging and reporting the behavior, 'tendencies' and 'leanings' of others.

Kaleb......I appreciate your post, even if I was trying to be humorous.
I made a thread some time ago about literary 'imagery' and how it is actually conceptually the same as use of art images. There is something so fundamental to human use of pictures, even word pictures. Vision plays such a huge role in comprehension.
Funny that even within Judeo/Christian aniconist faiths, believers imagine their deity with appropriate costuming. The 'image' is fixed and part of the appurtenance of holiness and divinity. I imagine since God is thought of as being very old his clothes must be too. If an artist were to depict Jesus in blue jeans and T-shirt, it is immediately perceived as disrespectful.

Reddit thread: ‘This Cult is Dying and it Brings Me Joy’
by LongHairGal inthis is an excellent thread to read that i saw yesterday and the poster hits the nail on the head and tells it so well.
he is really knocking pimi witnesses and has a lot of well deserved criticisms about them.. he says he hopes at this point that they never wake up….
i am inclined to feel the same.

Rather than obsessing about the death of the cult, focus on the life you are free to live.
