  Biden running in 2024 🤣

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. current

  i've filed this under news and world events, although i could've posted it under entertainment, lol.

  apparently, joe biden will be seeking re-election for another term in the white house.. this, despite a recent poll showing that 70% of people don't want him to run again.. biden just has to be the worst president i've seen.

  his gaffes, over-relience on a prompter, and, more than any other president, his refusal to answer journalists' questions, all go to make him top of the list in terms of bad presidents.. it will certainly provide entertainment, if nothing else..

  One day that machine will turn on you if you step out of line.

  Reminds me of this:

  First They Came by Pastor Martin Niemöller

  First they came for the Communists
  And I did not speak out
  Because I was not a Communist
  Then they came for the Socialists
  And I did not speak out
  Because I was not a Socialist
  Then they came for the trade unionists
  And I did not speak out
  Because I was not a trade unionist
  Then they came for the Jews
  And I did not speak out
  Because I was not a Jew
  Then they came for me
  And there was no one left
  To speak out for me

  We are now 23 Years past Armageddon as the GB stated

  so the end was going to come by 2000 as documented in the magazines back in the late 80's early 90's.. so how did they get the time off so badly ( over two decades and still nothing) since the gb is jehovah's earthly mouthpiece right ?

  They don't infer a date anymore because it's just around the corner.

  They even have a song with that line in it.

  if you live in the northeastern part of the us, the air is filled with smoke.

  it is hard to breathe and the burning smell irritates your eyes and breathing.

  I'm surprised the vax nutters around here aren't claiming the fires are caused by unvaccinated people spontaneously bursting into flame.

  Can't blackface Justin Trudeau legislate some kind of law about smoke. He seems to think he has more power than most mortal men.

  Makes you wonder where the $3B from the Brooklyn property sale went. 🤨

  TMIII whiskey fund? Pedo protection fund? GB and "helpers" jetting around the world being treated like rock stars fund?

  Likes and Dislikes. How about making the identities known to the poster?

  i haven't a clue if it's technically feasible but i think if you're going to hit the dislike button on a post you should be open to discussion with the poster.. just your own topics and posts of course.

  what do you think simon?.

  When I downvote a post it has not ever been because of WHO made the post, it has been WHAT the post said, and I have downvoted some of even Simon's posts for that reason. I do not always have to spell out a reason for a downvote. There are more times than not I just don't give any vote one way or another. That said there are a very few posters here that I personally cannot abide almost everything they post, those I just go by and move on to something more interesting.

  Bad idea! could lead to retaliatory dislikes just because someone didn't agree with and/or fawn over someone else's comment. IMO.

  1290 jw congregations have been deleted since 4th dec 2022. i have a full map so you can explore active/deleted congs, and also orphaned halls https://analytics.jws-library.one/viewmap.html.

  many of the deletions in the usa appear to be foreign language groups.

  They did announce a few years ago that they were scaling back “foreign language” because it wasn’t as productive as they hoped.

  I wonder where in their Bible Jesus said to, ". . .Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, but only if it is as productive as YOU hope it should be."

  My old congregation is being shuttered

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i just found out from my jehovah's witness cousin that my old congregation is being shuttered due to lack of elders, less than 20 members attending, and that the congregation cannot meet their monthly expenses.. here is a congregation that was started in 1975 with less than 15 members.

  it grew to 185 members in the 1990's.

  the congregation grew so large that the elders decided to split the congregation in two.

  Where I used to attend had a congregation in the high 90's low 100's every single meeting. Members paid for and built a new KH with their own time, labor, and money, had to turn it over to the WT$ in the money grab for property years ago, and it now sits empty even after the plandemic due to no money to fix what is going wrong. Mold so bad that it has been pretty well shuttered, but can't be either fixed or sold by the local congregation without permission or orders from the branch. Members are now driving thirty minutes each way to the next town over. Less than 25 ever at the hall. Four towns congregations in the area are sharing the two usable halls that are left, the third sits empty, and the fourth has sold. Less attendance total for the four congregations now than any single one had twenty years ago.

  in the latest jw_org cartoon caleb learns from his father that he can be a jehovah's witness without being baptized by becoming an 'unbaptized publisher'.. the video also refers to a potential meeting with the elders to discuss caleb becoming an 'unbaptized publisher'.. https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/children/become-jehovahs-friend/activities/become-an-unbaptized-publisher/.

  "Un"baptized?

  What about the watchtower mags that have said that unless one is BAPTIZED as a JW they are not in line for salvation?
