By military definition, an Assault Rifle is one which is “capable of controlled automatic fire at intermediate ranges”. (ie. ranges up to 300 metres).

If you live in Canada, they are taking away your Guns, to send to Ukraine.
by liam inhistory is full of examples of governments disarming their citizens , only to be brutally betrayed.
what follows is a litany of blood that happened after disarming citizens.
1911: turkey; citizens disarmed – 1.5 million armenians were slaughtered.

I live at the same latitude as Jerusalem in Texas and sheep are outside year around,
That in itself means nothing at all. For example, the place where I grew up is on the same latitude as the south of France - however, its climate is not at all Mediterranean. (At times, more like sub-polar!)
There are, in fact, six other factors aside from latitude which determine the climate of a locality:
- Its altitude, aspect, distance from the sea, relief, plus direction of prevailing winds and the presence (or not) of ocean currents are each at least as important as its latitude.
None of this as exactly rocket science, either - more like what high school students learn during Grade 10 Geography.

Beard quote from WT 1975
by joey jojo inextreme hair styles can easily lead one into a trap of the devil also, and cause others to stumble.
for example, a young man in the united states was making fine progress in his study of the bible, and he was moved to share with an experienced witness in preaching to others about the good things he was learning from the bible.
from early youth he had let his beard grow, and since some in the business community wore beards, he felt that his wearing one in preaching to others would be acceptable generally.

Back in the day, we all heard that story. Whether it actually happened, of course, is another matter entirely.
If W. Schnell is to be believed (as he claims in 30 Years a Watchtower Slave) this thing they had about beards was all just a power trip. Many had taken to imitating CT Russell by wearing a “goatee” type beard. After Russell’s death
BoozerfordRutherford forbade beards, just to remind the rank-and-file that he was now running the show.Link +5 / -0 -

The case from Denmark - setttled in The European Court
by AndersonsInfo inbeninu andersen.
denmark.
i am not aware of how many of you are familiar with the danish case of a jehovah's witness who was hospitalized after a tragic accident where he fell several floors from a scaffolding where he was working.. the patient was admitted to the intensive care unit and was conscious (albeit somewhat confused) for the first three weeks.

This is not terribly different from a first-aid situation.
If the patient is conscious, then the first aider must obtain the injured person's consent to give treatment. However, if the casualty is unconscious, then the situation of "implied consent" becomes applicable - in which case first aid treatment may be given without obtaining the consent of the patient.

Creation, Not Evolution Best Explains Genetics
by Sea Breeze inhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umnhg0a9dlu.
evolutionists can change their model, and invent stories whenever they want to accomodate data.
biblical literalists are stuck with just one model, one account, and are unable to change it.

Unlocking Hidden Meanings: A Fresh Look at the Creation of Eve
by TimWexler inhello!i am an independent scholar and researcher with a deep curiosity for ancient cultures and texts.
i do not adhere to any religious tradition, but my passion for understanding the mysteries of our past has led me to explore biblical stories in depth.
my particular interest lies in the original hebrew text of the bible, which i find fascinating both as literature and as a source of historical riddles.i recently completed a study that might change the way you perceive some well-known biblical stories.
