when i was about 17 there was a elders son i used to hang out with.
he was 16 but close to my age.
his family was a kool aid drinking cult followers.
I know him well and I have no reason to believe he is a child molester.
What, apart from him telling you that he is?!?
Report it, or bear the guilt if your silence enables him to victimize other young girls.
Not trying to make excuses for his behavior but I also don't want to say he is evil
Not trying to make excuses and then doing just that. Isn't whether he is evils based on what he does? Not whether he seemed like a funny guy to hang out and have beers with?
china's economy is wobbling as one of its largest companies, evergrande, is teetering on bankruptcy.. there's a good chance it's collapse will have a knock-on effect on other markets.. so more to thank them for than just the covid virus.. no one should have any dealing with china..
Measuring economic success based on "growth" makes these things inevitable, or at least more likely.
Whatever you measure you get more of, and at some point if it can't be real then it will be faked.
Spain had the same thing where they were building places that were just ghost towns.
It's a form of economic fraud. Someone took at that money.
so its wrong for married couples to have oral sex and anal but what about touches to arouse?
to climax i would assume it was wrong.
but what if you go too far getting ready for sex and climax, do you need to go to the cult to confess..
Don't go lubin' the toobin' (named after the CNN presenter who was caught doing just that on Zoom)

This describes the scale of the Evergrande threat and what a bubble the Chinese property market has been:

good news bad news pandemic and kingdom halls.. first the bad news, coming out of israel - one of the first countries to push total vaccination.
the news is the vaccine especially the pfizer one looks like it wears off and hospital rates have gone up for those that have been vaccinated.
hospital rates have gone up for those that have been vaccinated
The problem with statistics is that they often don't provide the full data and even if they do, people don't know how to interpret it.
I'm guessing this is based on some stats that the majority of those in hospital with Covid are vaccinated?
The knee-jerk reaction to that is often "OMG, see - vaccines DON'T WORK!!!"
But is that what the stats really tell you?
How many people are in hospital, and happen to have Covid, but are not hospitalized due to covid?
How many are in hospital due to Covid but are not in the morgue due to Covid?
If the people who didn't get vaccinated all die, then the stats for the vaccinated look really bad by comparison, but at that point we're probably comparing the wrong thing.
What really matters - hospital occupancy or deaths?
i have never heard of this but i doubt its never been done.
i sell some older jw books on etsy and have always been a bit afraid that some jws are buying them to destroy.
if you have heard of this let me know.

What do you care? Take their money!
IMO it isn't a lack of awareness or knowledge about things the WTS has printed in the past that prevents current JWs waking up. i.e. it's not like you can waft a real book under their nose and they'll suddenly believe and acknowledge what you have been telling them, so the value of these books is probably limited.
Look at it as disposable income that won't be donated to the WTS.
Take the money.

The report I saw suggests they are already unable to pay debts to contractors, and have been trading on empty for some time, issuing IOUs instead of payments. It's now become obvious and untennable.
The knock-on effect is the real damage because all the people they don't pay then can't themselves pay for things, and so more companies will go bust. It will be large companies and small.
The idea that the US or China can just print more money shows how utterly clueless these people are. You can't. History has shown over and over that you can't inflate money like this without consequence.
The reason they do it is it steals from savers and gives to debtors, by devaluing their debt. And there are no bigger debtors than the government, which is why Fiat money always eventually implodes and goes to zero.

And the irony - the woman with AOC has a huge outstanding tax bill.
Rules for thee, never for them.
i just washed all my summer quilts and put them away for the season.
i brought out the thicker and heavier winter quilts and put them on the beds.. i love patchwork quilts and have a couple of heirloom ones actually made out of the scraps of old family clothes.
my mom can point to a fabric and say," oh, that was a dress of mine when i was little," or, "that was my mother's apron.".
It's people like you that cause global cooling every year. Dammit!
Soon that snow shit will happen again. God damn.
Have to make every patio-day count from now on.
