Christmas star of Bethlehem to appear for 1st. Time in 800 years
by nowwhat? in
1. watchtower
2. bible
as spock would say " fascinating".. with 2020 being such a terrible year.

are people of the christian faith going to look at this as a sign of god, to give them hope and renew their faith?

coincidence?

By "Christmas star" do you mean the Jupiter & Saturn thing?
On December 21 they will align, from the POV of earth observers, to the extent that they will basically appear like one big shiny thing instead of 2 big shiny things.
They align somewhat like that once every twenty years, but align-close-enough-to;look-like-one-thing only occurs once every few centuries.
Did that happen around "Year 0"? I didn't see any research indicating that is the case, but I didn't spend much time on it so maybe I missed it.

substantial irregularities and evidence of systemic fraud
It's curious, when in a courtroom (as opposed to social media), The Trump Legal Team Led By Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis (TM) keep repeating over an over that there was no fraud.
It's almost as if....
...now follow me here....
...almost as if even the most jaded attorneys are not prepared to be disbarred by knowingly lying in court.
And almost as if all these claims of "systemic fraud" are one last, final, fundraising grift foisted upon the gullible.
Almost.

Hopefully the Georgia runoff elections will stop the Democrat takeover.
LOL.
It's hard for even the most....challenged....Republicans to balance simultaneously in their minds "the election was entirely rigged, your vote was utterly meaningless" along with "It is of the highest and most crucial importance for you to go out and vote in the GA runoff election next month."
Lotsa luck with that messaging.

Evidence is being released today.
Judge has issued an order preventing PA certifying the current "results"
The election is back on.

due to the many variables involved it has been difficult for science to predict how proteins fold to form their uniquely functional state.

proteins are built from individual amino acids up, coded by dna.

protein function is dictated by its shape and amino acid make up.

I wonder if the JW's will retract and apologise for their 'hypothesis' or simply stay quiet and say nothing about one more false claim
I assume this is rhetorical.
The WT Org does NOT retract and does NOT apologize for ANYTHING - EVER.
Frankly, well over 98% of Bethelites lack the brain power to even understand the significance of the discovery. What almost certainly happened is that some Bethel "writer" in 2008 copy-n-pasted the information from some creationist website, having only a vague notion of what it meant beyond "God of the gaps must have done this". But it sounds convincing to the ignorant, so in it goes.
"Stay silent" is the obvious correct answer for what they will do now.

Meetings

so remember how assembling together is a command and no man or government can stop us, even if it means going 'underground', even if means being arrested, jailed, beat....can't stop us from assembling together----until covid.

now it's "false regligion" fighting for their constitutional right to meet together while the jws seem to be perefectly happy zooming their lives away..

They are still meeting openly, just via video. You still get guilt-tripped for missing meetings.
In fact, it's even easier to check up and see who is missing now. Just scroll down the list of attendees and see which names are missing.
On the other hand, it is easier than ever to "check out" mentally. Just sign onto the zoom meeting with your name displayed, turn the camera off, and go off to play video games until the meeting ends. Elders see your name and assume you are listening.

watchtower examination has a youtube video about subliminal images drawn by the watchtower's art department.

i'm not a professional artist but i see too many strange and hidden images in this drawing.

i have boxed four examples of hidden images.

Regarding the songbook change, a lot of times they change the artwork when one of the "real life" people who served as a model gets disfellowshipped.
JWs are so thorough in their DFing, even drawings and photographs of the JW get disfellowshipped!

unbelievable.

okay actually it's very believable.

They haven't had so much "bash the evil apostates" content of late. Wonder what caused this sudden outburst?
JWs with too much time on their hands due to COVID restrictions, and researching stuff on the internet, maybe?

Turns out sending letters / emails with unwanted "literature" or fishy-looking links to businesses & government offices is having approximately 0.000 impact on the lives of anyone.

Those are good videos.
You should forward them to Rudy G and the rest of the A-Team.
I'm sure the judges in Pennsylvania, Michigan etc. will be impressed.
