How could any president read and digest 5555 pages within a week to find the things to veto? We have been told the big things, simplified, but the devil is in the details. There are lots of things already written waiting to be tacked on the next bill, too.

Should A Covid Stimulus Bill Be Helping Other Countries?
by minimus ini think it should simply be there to help us citizens.
and besides giving money to other countries, stop giving money to the arts and entertainment..... give money to help taxpayers struggling with debt .
period!!!

JW's and deciding which PAGAN traditions to follow or not to follow. Merry Christmas all!!
by goingthruthemotions in* first i would like to say.....i apologize to my son's everyday for getting them involved in this cult because i took so much from them as far as celebrating holidays go.

they want nothing to do with the cult.

My take is they choose anything from blood to flag salute to 4th July to Christmas to create a controversy.
Right now the bible reading is going through the cleansing, shaving, sacrifices---substitute Egyptian for Israelites in the texts and they would call all it wierd pagan practices

by digderidoo inhi all, been a long time posting.. i have heard today that jws cannot take the vaccine due to blood within it.
is this correct?.

They thrice have read a letter stating the vaccines do not have blood or fractions in them.
This was after careful research on their part. I looked at the way it is made and drew the same conclusion without doing careful research. I did not look for aluminum.
Eventually there may be some with fractions of fractions and then we will have to look at THE LIST.
I think they follow the latest science from 1942.

They have a letter stating that if you can get in 15 minutes (imagined?) to contact the elders to mark you as active.

Not very good publicity for the corvid vaccine.
by wasone ina critical care nurse at chattanooga's memorial hospital bites the dust 17 minutes after taking the covid shot while being interviewed thursday on live tv.
in all fairness, she later said this happens to her often after experiencing pain.
just saying this is not the press the vaccine needs right now.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnzbaclpfs4.

These vaccines are a new technology and were fast tracked so the trials were not extensive. That said, some things are tested so long those of who may need it will die first.
I am out and about a lot despite being elderly. Masks are worn improperly, wiping is haphazard, no idea who or what touched surfaces in general.
No meaningful information is ever given, just "alarming" numbers with no explanation.
The hospital liaison committee will supposedly now help find a doctor and hospital if you need help. I always felt the HLC was mostly a blood enforcement scenario.

Money brings out the worst in people.
" It says my sister can give gifts, spend it on whatever she wants, pay herself for working" that is the part I would have a court look at. State laws vary. The probate judge may hone in on this

“He’s Not My President “
by minimus init’s already happening .
biden was officially named president-elect yesterday.
i think trump exhausted all of his avenues to keep the presidency.

He will not represent what a lot of us want. I have a representstive and senator who seldom ornever have my iinterests at heart.
His speech after the electors met told the truth about unifying. And the electors have not been accepted by the senate until January.
Trump probably will not prevail but Mrs. Joe should not unpack too much. Harris will take the spot, and as usual the background handlers will be running the show.

Are there more Bethel layoffs in the immediate future?
by LongHairGal ini just saw a post on reddit: ‘wt are prepping the r&f for changes in the march/april meeting workbook’.. in the post the person noted what they read (for march 8) and it mentioned bethel adjustments and reference was made to 2015 when bethelites were let go.. if this happens (yet again) another bunch of people are being sent home to fend for themselves in the big bad world at an advanced age with little to no preparation.
even though this doesn’t surprise me, it could not come at a worse time with a global pandemic and massive job loss everywhere..congregations are already in turmoil because of so many who reached retirement age totally unprepared because they were told armageddon would be here before they reached that age.
this is in addition to all the other ‘needy’ and troubled types in the congregations looking for as$istance.. i hope any bethelites there have a plan and some people they can contact.

Pete. I fat fingered a dislike sorry.
The furloughed people are sad. And they do not dare make waves to lose the support of the brothers who did it "wrong".
They are recruiting fresh meat right now, complete with the career spiel

Is it possible for any Country to have “Reasonable” Gun Laws? What would they be?
by pistolpete inso the new biden/harris gun policies are starting to appear.
it’s not clear yet, what they will be.. some suggestions; confiscate all guns.------buyback programs in each state.. there is much talk on social media that if this happens, the pandemic, + all the riots, + all the damaged property, + all the annual murders in america, - put together-will be like a sunday afternoon picnic, compared to all the deaths and property damage that will result because of “civil uprising” by millions of 2nd amendments advocates and just plain gun lovers.
americans love guns!.

From memory so details may be garbled. I know (from a forum) a Swede. he is allowed 7 guns. It was not clear if his wife was allowed another 7, or children at home were allowed. Why 7, not 8?
Mexico has 1 gun store. Strict regulation. Do you think that stops the cartels? There are stories of mex villages using their illegal 22s and taking back the streets from the cartels ans corrupt police.
Big IF you could guarantee the street gangs had no weapons some of us would consider cutting back. Remember the police have been crooked too.
A reasonable law would be that any crime committed with a gun would go to a carefully conducted trial; then the penalty would be a short drop.
Right now both halves of the US fear a military take over or coup. The other half wants personal firearms to counter that if it comes. That takes us to the 2nd; written so the citizens could have weapons equal to the military. In 1776 the brown bess was the state of art infantry weapon, complete with a supply of ammunition. Now it is an AK 47 which we are not allowed to own despite all the muddying over so called military grade guns whatever that means
