You are making it sound like if anybody dies from COVID-19, then it is their own bloody fault!

I thought the talk was about doing more to protect those in nursing homes? Many over 65s are a hell of a long way from being in a nursing home. I certainly am!

Cremation is a non Christian practice so why is it ok?
by nowwhat? inonly the pagans burned their bodies and criminals not worthy of burial were burned.
the point is they use the same type of reasoning as to why we can't do other things such as birthdays.
toasting etc.

They are rather selective over such matters, aren't they?
The list goes on almost forever of the things that are "pagan" in origin - starting with the names of the days of the week. Then there are common practices at weddings, such as wedding rings, and the cutting of the wedding cake ceremony.
None of that overly matters, though. Only birthdays and Christmas!

In his 1956 work 30 Years a Watchtower Slave, W.Schnell claims that Rutherford knew all along he was telling stories. Schnell maintains that he was once witness to a conversation between Joseph Rutherford and another high-ranking official of the WTS. In this conversation, Rutherford readily admitted that the date of 1925 was pure nonsense, and only introduced for publicity purposes. Furthermore, this beloved president of the Watchtower Society insisted that it really did not matter too much; he reckoned the rank and file could be kept so busy "selling literature" that they would fail to notice they had been conned.
If Schnell is to be believed, the only thing Judge Joseph Boozerford deluded himself about was into believing he could get away with it!
PS: The date 1925 was not plucked entirely out of thin air. As with 1975, there was enough chronological data available in the Bible from which to concoct a story from - a story convincing enough to excite a lot of people. Never underestimate the effectiveness of the half-truth as a propaganda tool!

Sick People Are Happy If Someone Gets Covid
by minimus insome people are such haters!
we may have real differences on politics, religion or life but we should never rejoice that someone has gotten an illness simply because we don’t see eye to eye with them.. there are people here that i have differences with but i would never wish them i’ll health or worse, death.👎.

Sadly, wishing death on somebody who does not shares ones point of view is not confined to religious fanatics. There are, in fact, a great many similarities between religious fanatics and those of the political stripe.
One of these shared characteristics is the "our church don't do that sort of thing" response whenever bad behaviour gets a mention.
PS: I understand that the term "cult-like behaviour" is strictly a no-no here. I hope that the term "fanatical" (whether it be religious or political) is an acceptable alternative!

California to ban sales of fossil fuel cars in 15 years
by mickbobcat inthis will never work but liberals are too stupid to know it.
first off all you have to do is cross the border and buy a car.
if they will not let you license it in the state then many will license it out of state.
