  US Government Insurrection Attempt

  by Simon in

  so now we know the russian dossier was a fraud, the whole "russian collusion" was a hoax, and we know it was funded by the clintons and promoted by the dem's media allies.. given that this was the basis for an actual attempt to remove the elected president of the united states, this was an attempted insurrection.. clinton is guilty and should face charges.. given that they did this, does anyone still believe that they wouldn't commit some lesser, election fraud, crimes?.

  if so, you still haven't learned anything.

  "fool me once" and all that ....

  Clinton is guilty and should face charges.

  The problem is that Republicans have no balls.

  We need another political party that is willing to fight fire with fire.

  The religion asks for educated professionals - but yet tells the average JW they shouldn’t get higher education.

  It finally clicked!

  Those jws who constantly berated you for working full time were just imitating their leaders. It all makes sense.

  Those older jws that were retired and getting a pension were only doing what the leaders of the WT are doing. Criticizing jws who work full time and don't pioneer.

  i just watched this movie today and still not sure what to make of it .. did / do these people really believe what they preached ?

  on the one hand i would say they did ,however on the other hand they knew religion was a gold mine for them .. and their lifestyle how they live reflected that .. and i can see the gb of the wt in it for the same reasons but they do it without all of the theatrics that these televangelists seem to thrive on.. i look forward to your thoughts on the movie..

  smiddy;

  Did / do these people really believe what they preached ? on the one hand I would say they did ,however on the other hand they knew religion was a gold mine for them .

  The bible actually teaches that God gives riches and wealth to those whom he favors.

  Ecclesiastes 5:19
  Furthermore, as for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, He has also empowered him to eat from them and to receive his reward and rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God

  There are even examples of this like Abraham, King Solomon, actually the majority of the Kings who ruled for Jehovah. And tons of scriptures to fortify this idea.

  People like Tammy, the GB, Pope, read these accounts and verses in the bible and come to the conclusion that God Chose them.

  The Apostle Paul also thought that many of the Old Testament prophesies applied to him and not to Jesus. For example;

  Isaiah 42:6 I chose you to bring justice, and I am here at your side. I selected and sent you to bring light and my promise of hope to the nations.

  Paul confirmed this in Galatians 1: 15 - But when God, who had chosen me--

  and set me apart before I was born, and called me through His grace, was pleased to reveal His Son in me so that ------I might preach Him among the Gentiles [as the good news—the way of salvation]

  Also Jehovah's witnesses read the bible and come to the conclusion that they are the favored generation that will survive the coming great tribulation and not die.

  People in general have a tendency to read the bible and apply the good things to themselves and the bad things to others.

  Well, I had a rude awakening years ago during the Thanksgiving holiday. Here I was isolating myself like some idiot fighting a private war....... I looked at four walls alone. I also noticed all the JWs disappeared during the holidays..

  The Jehovah Witness religion is not a good place for single people.

  The isolation the religion creates for "Single People" is very unhealthy Mentally, and Emotionally.

  The Animal Sentience Bill - what next?

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  so, in the uk there was recently a bill which was nodded through parliament - the animal sentience bill - which was backed by vegan activists.. dogs, cats.

  cows, even lobsters now have been recognised to have feelings.. first of all, let me say that if you want to go vegan that's fine with me.

  we're all allowed our individual dietary choices.. but for how much longer?

  Vegans are going to use this Bill to improve livestock welfare.

  Maybe there should be a bill to improve Human welfare.

  When I think of all those young kids who died because they refused a transfusion, it makes me sick.

  Yea, that's a shame.

  Although I blame the parents for being so stupid to let their child, their own flesh and blood, die, because a group of old men,whom the parents have NEVER MET, but BELIEVE THEIR CLAIM ----to be the ones God has appointed to direct people in the right path.

  I don't know what else to say.

  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.

  retirement plans with brand names such as 401 —which according to the vid, these so called retirement plans are disguised schemes to borrow money from you for free,

  One of the things I did when I finally moved into a house, is I bought one acre of land and built a big storage unit to put some of my stuff in. Just as I had finished the storage unit, paved the place, and fenced the acre, some guy stopped by and asked if he could rent the unit.

  I had no idea what the heck was going on. He said, "I'll give you 10k for the year if you let me store some stuff in there. I asked what kind of stuff considering units about one third the size of mine ran for just 40-50 dollars a month in other places. He could have rented two or three and paid less.
  

  He said, he had some bronze Art figures that he could sell for a hefty price, and liked the fact that i had an 8 foot fence and a camera, and the area was new, and paved. So I thought about it and figured with the 10k I could just build another unit or UNITS.

  I built another unit and someone also stopped and asked if they could rent it.

  I built 40 units in about three years and sold the place for more money than I could ever make in a 401K.

  It dawn on me that I lived in a Country that made it possible to be as rich as you wanted. Just don't let others handle your money. Work hard at Getting smart, get knowledge, and use your own money to make money.
  

  For some reason that place sold a couple of times until finally some industrial company bought it and tore all the units down, and made some kind of industrial salvage company on it.

  People do strange things.

  Grandpa!

  However, congregations have never been instructed to disfellowship those who voluntarily take blood transfusions or approve them.

  Well how about That! 🤪

  After all, the Tower allows for the "anointed" to get a blood transfusion and they are not disfellowshipped.

  Another way to get rich is build a good business that is Covid immune. In other words do something that most people hate to do like unclogging sewer pipes when there is a pandemic hitting the world.

  My business made more money during the pandemic than any other year.
