  Funniest insults

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  so, i was wondering what are the funniest insults i've heard/been called.. the woman who taught me the arabic alphabet did a lesson about insults in colloquial palestinian arabic.. the one that stuck out to me was iniqbir or ini'bir.

  literal meaning: bury yourself.

  "go and bury yourself".

  2/2022 WT: a repeated request & more doubletalk

  by neat blue dog in

  we all know the now famous quote, "all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.

  " well, this point is regurgitated in the latest wt, along with yet another new bunker scene:.

  "during the great tribulation, we may receive instructions that seem strange, impractical, or illogical .

  We are all free to do what we are told!

  As an example, denim is clearly a machination of the Devil 👿

  The rank and file are too stupid to make big decisions like buying a pair of pants, so really need counsel about what kind of work to do, choosing a baby sitter, watching a TV show, buying a car, buying a house, getting a credit card, getting a pet . . . . To infinity and beyond!

  Renting to a Witness of the opposite sex...

  i need a question answered.

  i know of a situation where a single sister took in a single brother as a renter, so she could be his caregiver, as he was very along in years.. long story short, they were forced to get married.

  i believe it was labeled under "appearance of evil" by the elders.. my question is: what do the elders base this on?

  No one could have "forced" that couple to get married. Get real

  The Poor the Wealthy and the Middle Class

  by Simon in

  the poor spendthe middle-class savethe wealthy invest.

  the unique circumstances of the lockdown and stimulus checks has highlighted these differences in stark ways.. on one hand, you have jumps in sales and valuation of companies like foot locker and nike, as people spend their "free" government money on sneakers.

  they blow it on useless tat.

  In a relatively short time it won't matter if you had a lot of money or were very poor or if you retired late or retired early because we will all be in the same position: being dead. Not long after that we will all be forgotten as if we had never lived.

  Follow The Truth

  so it seems that donald is set to launch a social media platform called "truth social".

  if you start the sign up to go on the wait list you are asked to "follow the truth".

  uncomfortable.. maybe it directs you to wt.borg.

  It does feel like a bit of a coward but I haven't found any other viable options. I still agree with many teachings, uncertain of some others and convinced some are wrong. 50 years of experience here. The meetings do help to regularly focus on spiritual matters. Many times even more focus due to higher demand of evidence to be convinced. A difficult position for sure, but trusting that Christ can read our hearts

  In the UK it is legal to abort a Down's Syndrome baby up until the moment of birth

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. current

  there was a recent legal challenge, brought about by a woman who herself has down's, which sought to overturn this sad state of affairs.. and a few days ago, a judge upheld the original law and denied her legal challenge.

  this is pretty sick, don't you think?.

  pro-abortion people love to ridicule religious people who claim that life begins at conception, so the obvious question is, when does life actually begin?.

  LoveUniHateExams,
  

  Many, probably most, of the people opposing abortion also are opposed to government spending . . . . like healthcare. Can't have increasing socialization of medical care. Any social safety nets are vigorously opposed and they are not bothered in the least by the incongruity of their positions.

  When you say state care it conjures up a picture of warehousing people and paying staff as little as possible. Do this until they get old enough to throw out on the streets to fend for themselves. No money for medical or mental care, no money for housing or vocational training. Everyone can make it on their own in the capitalistic paradise, the land of opportunity!

  So Morris publicly stated that he was teaching apostate ideas to his young children in opposition to the faithful slave? And nobody is going to even blink at that remarkable demonstration of mental gymnastics! Amazing!
