I've said it before and I say it again. . .it is not only time, but now way past time for patriotic American citizens to get down and dirty and fight fire with fire. This is an act of war and as such should be met with the full force of the military, just like the U.S. did to Japan in the 1940's after their attack on Pearl Harbor. Patriotic citizens need to also step up and take out these cartel thugs at every chance they get when they see them in this country. This is a democrat promoted and supported war against the United States.

A group of 136 countries set a minimum global tax rate of 15% for big corporations
by Disillusioned JW ina group of 136 countries set a minimum global tax rate of 15% for big corporations.
that is a major goal accomplished by the biden administration.
seehttps://www.wsj.com/articles/countries-agree-to-global-deal-to-curb-tax-avoidance-11633709979 .. if corresponding legislation gets passed into law in the usa it will be much harder for corporations doing business in the usa to move their operations out of the usa to avoid paying their fair share of taxes.

Found this pretty good example of how taxes work.
Here Is How It Looks For Everyone Who Thinks The “Rich” Must Pay More
Suppose that every day ten men go out for beer, and the bill for all ten comes to $100.00. If they were to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes it would look something like this:
The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth man would pay $1.00.
The sixth man would pay $3.00
The seventh man would pay $7.00.
The eighth man would pay $12.00.
The ninth man would pay $18.00.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.00.
So that is what they decided to do. The ten men drank in the bar every day and all seemed quite happy with their arrangement; that is until one day when the bar owner threw them a curve-ball.
“Since you all are such good customers,” he said, “I am going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20.00.” The drinks for the ten men would now only be $80.00.
The group still wanted to pay for their beer the same way we pay taxes. So the first four men (the poorest) were unaffected. They would still drink beer for free. But, what about the other six men? The ones actually PAYING for the beer they all drank? How could they divide the $20.00 windfall so each of the men would get his fair share? They realized that dividing $20.00 six ways was $3.33. But if they were to subtract that amount from everybody's share, then the fifth and sixth man would end up getting paid to drink beer!
So the bar owner suggested that it would be the most fair to reduce each man's bill by a higher percentage the poorer he was, to follow the principle of the tax system they had been using, and proceeded to work out the amounts he suggested each man should pay as follows:
The first four (the poorest) would still drink for free.
The fifth man though, now like the first four would pay nothing. (100% savings)
The sixth man would now pay $2.00 instead of $3.00 (33 1/3 % savings)
The seventh man would now pay $5.00 instead of $7.00 (28 1/2% savings)
The eighth man would now pay $9.00 instead of $12.00 (25% savings)
The ninth man would now pay $14.00 instead of $18.00 (22% savings)
The tenth man would now pay $50.00 instead of $59.00 (15% savings)
Each of the six men were better off than before, and the first four continued to drink for free. But once outside the men began to compare their savings.
“I only got a dollar out of the $20.00 savings,” declared the sixth man. Pointing to the tenth man he said, “But he got $9.00!”
“Hey, that's right,” exclaimed the fifth man. “I only saved a dollar too. That's unfair that he got nine times more benefit than I did!”
“That's true,” shouted the seventh man, “Why should he get back $9.00 when I only got back $2.00? The rich get ALL the breaks!”
“Wait just a minute,” screamed the first four men in unison, “We didn't get back anything at all. This system exploits the poor!”
So the nine men surrounded the tenth man and beat him up.
The next night the tenth man did not show up for drinks, naturally. So the nine men sat down and drank their beers without the tenth man. But when the time came to pay the bill they discovered something very important. They didn't even between all nine of them have enough money to even pay one-half of the bill.
And that is basically how the tax system works. The people who already pay the highest taxes will naturally get the most benefit from any tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just might not show up any more. In fact they may just start drinking elsewhere where the atmosphere is more friendly.

Making corporations pay at least some amount of tax is something Elizabeth Warren campaigned for as a Presidential candidate for the Democratic party nomination. It is also what Joe Biden wanted. This is great news for USA workers
This shows an glaring example of some people's willful ignorance concerning economics. And the only "good" news for workers is that they will not have to carry around nearly as much money. Of course making the average citizen a financial slave to government is what governments and their useful idiots wish.

Differences, on average, between men and women
by LoveUniHateExams inquite bizarrely, there are people trying their level best to blur the lines between man and woman, male and female.. so, i thought it a fairly good idea to list the differences, on average, between men and women.. ok, starting with the most obvious .... women have a vulva, a vagina, and internal gonads (ovaries); men have a penis and external gonads (testes).. women get pregnant, give birth and breastfeed their babies; men do none of those things.. men are taller than women.. men have greater upper-body strength than women.
men have greater bone density and percentage of muscle mass than women.. women live longer than men (this is partly due to life choices and behaviour and partly due to genetics).. men have higher testosterone levels than women.. men heal more quickly from physical injury than women.. the sexual dynamics between men and women tend to be different, too.
re sexual selection, women typically have their choice of the most suitable men.

@DOC
Women live longer than men
You pretty well beat me to the punch. I was going to say that the reason is because we men have to live around women.

Yes. Adulterer (2×) drunk. Wife beater. Child beater. Thief. Pompous ass. Lazy. Judgemental. There are more.
Sounds like we know the same guy. Left the upper mid-west (U.S) and moved to Texas. Still a drunken, cheating bum; but hey, he's an elder, so I guess holy spirit doesn't mind that kind of person after all.
Meanwhile just because I think, and I asked questions that were hard to answer honestly if one has any discernment at all, I am "bad" association and to be avoided.

GENDER PRONOUNS
by JohnTron72 injust to put it out there, the whole gender pronouns idea being pushed by the lgbtq+ minorities is just a way to try to hide the sin of homosexuality.
if you can void people talking about your true sexual identity then it seems there is no sin anymore if two they or them of the same sex are together.
example of the coverup: ("i don't identify as either gender"), so the kids i'm raising in a lesbian relationship need not speak of me as a mom or any other female term and we all don't have to feel any stigma attached to the true terms so, any shame we might feel is hidden anyway.

a militant they/them and acts like she is going to commit suicide if someone doesn't address her by her pronouns.
Mine is not the politically correct viewpoint, these are the kinds of people I would like to see helped on their way. Don't mess with me and I won't mess with you, otherwise you deserve what you get.

The only thing missing is goose-stepping, raised right arms, and swastikas on arm bands. In the thirties and forties it was German Jews, today it is COVID. Neither were the threat to society that the government(s) claimed they were/are.
There is a reason the left is actively disarming the intelligent citizen, and meanwhile more and more useful idiots are doing nothing other than navel gazing and waiting for the next government handout, not realizing they will be next on the list of people who just "disappear".

Has any one of your JW family gotten a call from elders about vaccinations?
by pistolpete inone of my jw uncles got a call last night and was asked how many in his extended family have not taken the vaccine and he needed names.. a letter was sent to elders but it is dated the 27 which was yesterday, so i'm not sure it has anything to do with the letter.
but my uncle said the elder was coming down hard on him for not knowing who hasn't taken the vaccine.
he implied that not taking the vaccine "could" warrant judicial action.

I was confronted about my informed decision to decline the COVID shot, at this time. I got the "Do you think the GB would all have taken it, if it were not safe? Getting the shot shows respect for life. Getting the shot shows "love" for your fellowman," lines of B.S.
My answer was that in accord with the Bible I was exercising my "free will" to make an informed personal decision about what medical treatments I would accept or decline. *** w13 1/15 p. 28 par. 3 Christian Elders—‘Fellow Workers for Our Joy’ *** After all, present-day elders are not the masters over their brothers’ faith. If declining a medical treatment that may save your life does not show respect for life, why not force JW members to take all forms of cancer treatment, even when the cancer is terminal? How does forcing me to submit to any certain medial treatment show love to me on the part of the ones forcing me under threat of "judicial" censorship to submit? I made my decision and now according to scripture I will carry my own load of responsibility. Galatians 6: 5

Any signs that Kingdom Halls will re-open soon or door to door work will re-start again?
by eyeslice ini've not heard anything from pimi wife about going back to the khs yet let alone the door to door work.. many churches round here have re-opened if only for private pray and i am guessing that things like singing may be a factor in the reluctance of the witnesses to get back together again.
i also detect that many older ones are still quite afraid to go anywhere they may come in contact with people, even for shopping.
on the other hand, here in uk you can now go to a football match with 70,000 others shouting and chanting.. the door to door work may a total different issue.

Last I heard through the rumor pipeline is that no meetings or convention/assemblies through the end of 2022. Cannot verify that though.
