  Smoking gun GB can’t get out of this one

  by Mikejw in

  here in 2022 if anyone says anything against the vaccines even a little bit you are almost apostate.. someone once mentioned all vaccinated sports stars collapsing and someone else said not to speak badly about the gb or by extension jehovah.. the gb can’t get out of this one, it’s gone too far.

  it’s now the case that if you speak against the vaccines you are speaking against the gb and by extension jehovah .

  You cant even comment on the established science that the vaccines seem to be flawed as shown on CNN, MSNBC, not Fox.

  Right in the video: " a young brother in hospital with covid who DID take all the precautions".

  Meanwhile I am elderly, have compromised immune system, didn't mask, licked every doorknob, and apparently never got covid.

  There are rumours the elders are getting ready to impose draconian measures to force people back to in-person and door to door.

  If jehovah made vaccine and masks didn't he also make germs?

  i met freddie franz who was born in the 1880’s and many others from the 1880’s.

  but as a very small child i remember someone very old aged 106 and that person was born around 1856 which means that he was around people from the 1700’s..

  I met old Freddy while working backstage. My impression was he was very glad we got to meet him, no humility. But he could talk like he was on acid.

  here is the thing: i tried several times to watch the convention...i just couldn't seem to forge ahead with it.

  the reason i wanted to was to be able to engage in conversation about it with some of my old friends that communicate by phone that don't know i have disassociated.

  i want to be able to slip in seeds of doubt, but at the same time i have to seem a bit current...) so i welcome to know any take outs, commentary, good or bad, or the video plots, etc.

  Even ones who are more or less fully in are commenting on the lack of substance this year. ( best ever?)

  Those are either brontosaurus ( resurrected) or soy burgers.

  And we make fun of robe wearing winged haloed spirits walking on golden streets. There will have to be a large underclass to make clothing, mine coal, slave in factories,....

  Im in my 70s so all my grandparents were from the 1880s, 90s. I knew them all. We are now losing almost all the ww2 crowd. Ww1 is history, no one remembers it. That was a poignant thought I read where memories turn into history at the time the last ww1 veteran died

  did you drive?

  if so, how nerve wracking was it for you?

  i'd be terrified i'd stop concentrating for a moment and out of habit make a right turn at a red light into oncoming traffic.

  Just as a passenger in a taxi in the Bahamas. Absolutely terrifying but city traffic terrifies me anyway. Australian would not let American service men rent cars in t h e Vietnam era. Too dangerous.

  A group of 136 countries set a minimum global tax rate of 15% for big corporations

  by Disillusioned JW in

  a group of 136 countries set a minimum global tax rate of 15% for big corporations.

  that is a major goal accomplished by the biden administration.

  seehttps://www.wsj.com/articles/countries-agree-to-global-deal-to-curb-tax-avoidance-11633709979 .. if corresponding legislation gets passed into law in the usa it will be much harder for corporations doing business in the usa to move their operations out of the usa to avoid paying their fair share of taxes.

  A good mail service us one of the few things a government should enable.

  Some of the other things b eing done will have to wait and see. Reduced deductions? Ebay income? ( yard sales too?) 87000 new IRS employees willing to use guns?

  All left Is brown shirts and lightning insignia.

  The best days were h aving someone else go on a long winded return while I slept.

  As for carts, I still have mental scars from wearing little kid sandwich boards. No carts for me.

  Is the FACT that no God/god ever communicates with humans evidence that no God/god exists?

  by Disillusioned JW in

  is the fact that no god/god ever communicates with us evidence that no god/god exists?

  i think it is very strong evidence that no personal god/god exits, especially a benevolent god who wants humans to know him him/her/it, to obey him/her/it, and/or to love him/her/it.

  since no god/god communicates to us (including those who sincerely want communication with the/a god/god), wouldn't it be sensible for those who pray to what they believe is the/a god/god to cease all efforts to communicate to a god/god?

  It brings me to an indifferent or ? god. There is "stuff" in the universe. Was it always there, or made, and who,what,why. If someone made the stuff, who made the maker? If condensed energy where did it come from?
