  You have to know how to get time in. Write a letter. Time it. Then run it off and count piece work.

  Your dad may be able to tell your mother you will stay home depending in his views and your mothers a actual views on headship.

  Not wanting to live with someone is not wrong, there are good reasons for marriage first.

  You will get through this, remenber suicide us a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Find someone you can confide in, health providers, friends, workmates. Be aware that non professionals are limited in wisdom. For that matter professional s too

  Good luck

  Eliminate the Oil Industry?

  by Anony Mous in

  a lot of countries are on the side of eliminating the oil industry altogether as well as zero-emission alternatives like nuclear power.. in the us, biden has promised to eliminate all federal lands oil production when he takes power in 2021 (30% of the united states) as well as native american tribal lands which account for 8 percent of all oil, 9 percent of all natural gas, and 6 percent of all natural gas liquids from 96,000 wells (10% of the total wells in the us).. in europe, oil and gas production has been largely eliminated except for the nordic countries and the uk (which the eu recently lost access to), germany is funding a major oil pipeline as is china from russia and russian-controlled portions of ukraine, even after trump cut off all builders from russian oil pipelines, the russian government is now trying to build the pipeline themselves with potential disastrous results.. venezuela's economy collapsed largely due to the government taking over and eliminating the oil industry companies.. in the mean time, control for most non-us energy sources is now wholly dependent on russian and middle eastern governments.. california and germany eliminated oil-based energy sources and now mandate 30% of their power from 'green' wind and solar alternatives.

  germany energy costs now hover around 25c/kwh and california is not far behind with 16c/kwh both experiencing rolling blackouts in major cities and importing 60% of mostly coal and gas energy from their neighbors.. the world currently has 300 years worth of oil at the current rates of usage which have stagnated due to improved efficiencies.

  co2 emissions in the us have dropped in the last 3 years for the first time in decades despite (or because) reduced oil and gas regulations.. do you think given the above facts, eliminating the oil industry is a good thing?

  So far the US has enough fossil to ignore the mid east. Dont forget all the plastic, chemicals and stuff that comes from petroleum

  Importing electric to keep green just moves the problem to someone else.

  2. bible

  when i was a jw i would look to the bible or the wt society to answer all of my problems.. now as an older person i get cold in the wintertime and have trouble getting warm down to bad circulation.

  i found an answer in the bible at 1 kings 1:2, but i don't think my pimi wife will let me apply this bible principle.

  lol.

  Workmate had the right perspective on that. " how terrible a thing to do to a girl, smelly lecherous old man, and then not even being allowed to marry after"

  The shiningiest example they use, too, for every man to strive for. Along with Paul's hatred of marriage and lack of sex drive

  the life story in the latest wt has a running theme that keeps popping up: if the organization tells you to do something, you do it.

  this culminates in the following anecdote:.

  we were staying in abrother’s home right next to a kingdom hall.. .

  Prime Minister of Australia announces intention to revoke Jehovah’s Witnesses charity status

  by jwleaks in

  2. child-abuse

  today, marking the second anniversary of the australian national apology to victims and survivors of institutional child sexual abuse, the prime minister of australia has announce in federal parliament the intention to place sanctions against the jehovah’s witnesses in relation to child sexual abuse.. quote from prime minister:.

  the royal commission [into institutional response to child sexual abuse], the [national] apology [to victims and survivors of institutional child sexual abuse] and these yearly reports are about accountability: bringing the truth into the light ... we still have, reprehensibly, four institutions that have been named publicly and that have blatantly refused to join the redress scheme.

  they are jehovah's witnesses ... it's not acceptable.

  Remind re: The "Cult" Label

  2. announcements

  if you accuse people of being stuck in jw mindset or "cult-like" mentality simply because someone has a different view of politics than you, you'll be deleted.. it's insulting and a lazy substitute for having any real argument for a proper debate.. what next ... "you smell" ?.

  Whatever the law requires on the corporation can be zoomed. I am sure there is a rubber stamp vote just like at the halls.

  whatever they post will be mind numbing and use up lots of words blowing smoke

  Or an electiral college of counties in a state. We see lots of big cities calling the shots for all the state, starving rural counties.

  I am in one of the big western states where the boundaries are prerty much drawn on longitude and latitude lines instead of natural features which would give people economic and social common ground.
