  Watchtower Study July 2020 ''Be Convinced That You Have the Truth''

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  the watchtower—study edition | july 2020.

  6. the first-century disciples built their faith on their knowledge of the scriptures and the teachings of jesus christ, that is, “the truth of the good news.” (gal.

  2:5) this truth consists of the whole body of christian teachings, including the facts about jesus’ ransom sacrifice and his resurrection.

  Somewhere I read we can have faith in the GB by looking back and seeing how clearly right they have always been

  Is it possible for any Country to have “Reasonable” Gun Laws? What would they be?

  so 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

  "For some parents the most difficult test comes when they see the kangaroo court and then see preferential treatment of elders children for similar or worse".

  That and the ends a committee will go to to trap soneone. Stalking, spying, "investigating", fishing for and coaching " witnesses".

  The elders being deeply hurt is BS

  Dumb Elders

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i knew a few pretty intelligent elders .

  sometimes i would wonder why they remained as elders or even witnesses because they were successful men who made a good living and were highly respected because of their qualities.. that is a rather small group.

  most elders that i know of aren’t the brightest bulbs in the sky.

  We had an elder roll a riding mower. Another elder said it was odd that an elder did that as elders are supposed to be smarter.

  He may be surprised when he gets gagged himself. He already said there are plans for him to get a disease and step aside.

  Forced isolation to show love . i remember the fat ass from the GB saying that if you find someone freezing you shout at them and slap them; the real treatment is to hug them and give warmth.

  The bible does not set a year limit either for "reinstatement". The scriptures show way less than a year. And the offense was something the world would shun peopke over too.

  Do not forget the coercion used for baptism

  Nurses are unwilling to take the COVID-19 Vaccine

  by adjusted knowledge in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i work at two separate hospitals and most of the rns i work with have stated they won't take the vaccine.

  i've read a report that 1/3 of rns will refuse the vaccine.

  for those in other countries do you see this being an issue or is it more an american phenomenon?.

  Hospital workers here are required to take the flu shot. There is a mistrust of the fast tracking, new technology, and limited testing; among all the population not just nurses.

  Imagine if no one had a gun to stop this monster(with a gun).

  How did this monster get a gun? Could we have prevented it? ASK theses important questions, don't just insist it was inevitable like some fatalist doomsayer

  No guns, nobody gets shot. But there are guns. Do you think the mafias cannot smuggle guns? How about pointy knives, cars that go over 100, booze, on and on.
