The unfolding crisis in Afghanistan is completely Joe Biden's fault, nobody else's

by LoveUniHateExams in

so, there's been a lot of talk on social media, blaming trump for the current crisis that began at the weekend.. it's a load of bullsh!t from deluded people who are desperate to blame anyone but joe biden, the idiot they voted for or at least wanted to win last november.. there is only one person, just one person, to blame: joe biden.. he has the heavy burden of making tough presidential decisions.. and after this debacle, it's reasonable to ask if he's up to making such decisions..

He's even left US citizens at the mercy of the Taliban.

This is a quote from a "news" source in the United States.

Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby confirmed plans to receive refugees. "We want to have the capacity to get up to several thousand immediately, and want to be prepared for the potential of tens of thousands," Kirby said. Kirby also indicated that American citizens will not be given priority over Afghan refugees in the evacuation from Kabul.

Once again the left in the U.S. shows their utter contempt and hate for their own country! There is NO f--king way this can be spun to make it good, even by the willfully stupid!

perhaps the Taliban has evolved toward not being such a brutal oppressive organization

And the answer is already there. Taliban fighters shot and killed a woman for not wearing a burqa in Afghanistan Tuesday.

I am sure though that somehow the left, just like messiah-lite biden blaming Trump for the fall of Afghanistan, will say that is Trump's fault too.

If all GB members died at once?

by Jofi_Wofo in

i don't suppose anyone knows for sure, but do we have any kind of hint of what would happen if all of the governing body members died at the same time- such that nobody was left to appoint successors?

in lieu of any solid evidence, i'd also be interested in hearing some speculation based on what we already know about the organizational structure.. it would certainly throw a wrench in either the teaching that the faithful and discreet slave will survive into the great tribulation and/or the implied doctrine that the the gb succession arrangement is justifiable biblically.

let me firmly disclaim any implication that i am encouraging violence or wishing death on the governing body.

The "helpers" would take over (IMO), 'nu-lite' would be disclosed that the "helpers" are the princes of the New World who must be unquestionably obeyed, and that JW's are in the last nano-second, of the last second, of the last seconds, of the last minute, of the last minutes, of the last hour, of the last hours, of the last day, and they better be ready to hang onto their asses for the Big A. is starting.

as a non vaccinated person you represent a health risk to your fellow workers

Still waiting for someone to logically and intelligently explain exactly how that works. IF the COVID jab is so safe and is the "silver bullet" as it seems to be claimed by the jab proponents then it should not matter to the 'vaccinated' person how someone who has adopted a wait and see strategy is any kind of danger to the COVID jabbed person.

So far it seems that the only alleged benefit to taking the jab is that when you catch the next variant you might not get quite as sick. And there are a number of stories out there now that indicate a jabbed person can transmit the virus just as readily as anyone else.

Imagine if you will a virus that is so deadly you have to be tested to know if you have it, and a "vaccine" that is so safe you have to be threatened to get it.

@frozen2018 - you make a valid point, regardless of anyone who disagrees. IF the COVID jab is so safe as the government claims and Big Pharma claims, then let them put their $$$$$ where their mouths are and assume ALL financial liability for any and all side effects as you said.

Of course they won't, just as sure as their will be thumbs down for my comment.

“Well at least he doesn’t make mean tweets”

i asked a tennis friend this morning what he thought about what’s going on in afghanistan and he said it was terrible.

he was a military man and identifies as a middle of the road republican.

he supported most of trump’s policies but voted for biden because he couldn’t take trump’s mean tweets.

FedUpJW

"you kill them, you kill their families, you kill their friends and you kill their goats." That's what it takes but civilized Western countries will never do it.

And that is exactly the trouble between today's U.S. conservatives and "woke" democrats. The conservatives do not seem to have the cajones to get down in the mud and get dirty to do anything, because "mean tweets" hurt the other sides precious little feelings.

BTW Min. we both better be careful or someone will say they don't like us, or this site anymore.

Divorcing a wife

by road to nowhere in

the part in the meeting this week about jehovahs loving provisions for women.

all about the certificate of divorce and remarriage.

my wife wondered where the provision was for a wife with a rotten husband.

FedUpJW

Once you understand that, then a lot of the misogynistic laws in the OT make more sense.

And couple that with the fact that WT believes they are still living in the year 2,000 BC.

Overweight Jehovah’s Witnesses

what was your kingdom hall like when it came to overweight witnesses?

i remember counseling some people on their drinking habits.

a few snickered that if we were going to counsel them because they have had way too many at a wedding reception, what about very overweight witnesses that have a lifestyle of overindulgence?

FedUpJW

Overweight witnesses? I got chewed out for mentioning that we could triple our meeting attendance and publisher count if only we would count publishers by the pound instead of just as individuals. I guess though that when one suffers through all the condamnation that WT heaps upon individuals they need to find comfort somewhere, and for many it is food or alcohol.

Support widows

boy did they miss it while a hug is nice a scripture will not mow the yard, fix a flat, or pay the bills.

This has always been a sore spot for me. Especially as I have been settling my parent's financial matters after their deaths.

I have found many records of financial help my parents gave. And they are not just a few dollars (US) at a time. In one case it was well over $20,000.00. On one occasion my father mentioned in an elder meeting that a sister needed some financial help and all except one other elder and my father refused any help.

My parents did not restrict their help to just JW's either as most of the very few who do help do. My parents read a news article about a homeless couple whose three year old daughter had died and they could not afford a proper funeral. My parents paid the entire cost of final preparation and the services. Their only condition of doing so was that it not be revealed WHO had helped. The records of cash flow my father kept are how I found out.

Unfortunately I was not able to make all the legal changes in where they willed money before they died and WT got a pot load of money. And the greedy b-----ds could only find themselves able to write a letter asking if that was all they were going to get, or if I had more to send.

WT never has, never does, an never will let cash flow any other way except up.
