I told my loved one that I (50 something) wasn't expected to start kindergarten (70's) and I still get the same response I gave in the 80's when my children were born "yeah but's it's so much closer now".
Uggg I feel stupid!

I'm still not buying it at this point, along with demons. None have contacted me or any of my friends/family so scientific/evidence base research is over:).

And the faithful rank and file will never watch the ARC testimony so they don't even have to try hard on the disinformation:(

Yep you'll get a tax cut until the insurance rates rise will happen fast without the mandate, and if you are in a high property tax state you can no longer get SALT (cap 10k), charity and a few other deductions.
Oh and don't forget this is temporary, will go up and corporations (which have been making tons of $$ for the last several years already) tax cut is permanent.
ETA: Oh if you live in Cal or NY and rent, expect your rent to probably go up because if owners can't deduct interest they will pass it on to the renters.

Do You Feels That Your Life Was Ruined Because of Ypur JW Experience?

I guess it depends on what you mean by ruined:
No higher education.
Married very young (still married to same guy)
Spend thousands and thousands $ on donations, years of reg pioneering, Vehicle wear and tear
Lost a close family member to blood fraction/particle doctrine
Have a very close family member barely talks to me because I'm "inactive"
Watched heartache/pain from friends/family being df
So although I'm a bit miffed I don't think my life was/is ruined. I just want to show compassion and finish out my last 20ish years on this earth being a good/kind human being and enjoying what I can.

I don't think I've mentioned Trump at all:) seems like you are a bit defensive over my opinion which really is like a**holes, we all have one:)
Anyway I hope for the best for all of us!
I really hope you are right and I am wrong, I'll gladly come back and say so in the months to come. I have ZERO problem admitting when I'm wrong:)

No I really don't want to pay more for the same services I have right now. If you honestly think that won't happen then I wish I lived in your world.

Things You Still Agree With The JWs On
by Fred Franztone inaside from obvious things that most people agree on, like theft being wrong and the importance of family, i can't think of a single thing i agree with the jws on, nothing that's specific to their religion anyway.
do you have any?.

I'm thankful for the principals of love (although not always practiced).
It's strange but that transferred nicely when I came out of "the truth" to be accepting and inclussive of everyone and WAY less judgmental. I try to really help people now with whatever means I can.
