They pick and choose which scientific facts to believe. " Earth is a sphere yep we accept that. Carnivores can only eat meat , no that does not fit in with our view. "
Not only are they illogical they are hypocrites.

Was It Designed? (My head hurts)

) is a seabird that feeds on fish.

Sigfred your situation sounds much like mine. My wife tells me the same. I just don't want any regrets when she is gone that I did not try. I don't need her money it is hers. I just don't want my brother to abuse a 90 year olds finances. Her money is hers and she should use it to make her remaining days pleasant in her own home.

My me mother and I do not see eye to eye to say the least. My childhood was fraught with her abusive behavior. Alas.she is old now and though I have not spoken to her in a year she called the other day and wanted to see me. I have not spoken to her in a year ,however I do not want to leave things unsead. Last year I rescued her from a nursing home where my brother had had her placed. It was a hell hole. Her response to me after was anything but gratitude . She had me taken off of her healthcare proxy because my non-disfellowshipped brother convinced her I could not be trusted because I am not a witness and may not abide by her "theocratic stance regarding blood" Nothing could be further than the truth. My brother is after her money. Should I just let her be and not tell her the truth regarding what he is up to? I have documented proof of what he has been up to including his attempt to have her declared incompetent . Emails from him asking me to sign off on his financial shenanigans etc. As of right now he has complete control.

Don't forget to take Sauerkraut for COVID-19 ?
by was a new boy infermented foods may lower your risk of covid-19 death.
countries that consume higher amounts of traditionally fermented foods have lower covid-19 mortality rates.
according to german researchers, significant changes in the microbiome caused by modern life and low fermented food consumption may have increased the spread or severity of the disease.

Td here is a quote from the German article
Important Notice
medRxiv publishes preliminary scientific reports that are not peer-reviewed and, therefore, should not be regarded as conclusive, guide clinical practice/health-related behavior, or treated as established information.

The author of that articles is a known quack and and antivaxer. You should take what he says with a grain of salt.
Here is another of his covid claims
n 2020, Mercola claimed that inhaling 0.5-3% hydrogen peroxide solution using a nebulizer could prevent or cure COVID-19.[43][44] A tweet from Mercola advertising this method was removed from Twitter on April 15, 2020, for violating the platform rules.[44]

2 + 2 = 5?! lol
by LoveUniHateExams ininteresting video from carl benjamin.. apparently, some philosopher is arguing that 2 + 2 doesn't always = 4; sometimes it equals 5.. this is madness, utter madness.
i'm a scientist; objective reality does exist.
the existence of gravity isn't up for debate.

Cofty historically gender and biological sex are not identical . Many ancient cultures had very fluid gender roles . For example Romans and Native Americans. I will post.references below. I agree that genetically you can not change your biological sex . However gender roles are much less cut and dry. I don't claim to understand how people emotionally accept these alternate roles but they do.

So you see gender fluidity is not a modern concept.

Tottenkoph gender and sex are not necessarily the same thing . Scientist refer to male female genetic differences as sex. Social and cultural differences are referred as gender.
I am perplexed by the many science deniers especially when it comes to global warming, vaccination and medical quackery.
gender
[ˈjendər]NOUN- either of the two sexes (male and female), especially when considered with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones. The term is also used more broadly to denote a range of identities that do not correspond to established ideas of male and female.

BOE Update! (as of 2020-07-31)
by Atlantis inbody of elder letters, announcements, and so forth will be next to "none" unless more elders decide to contact us and help out.. atlantis has lost three elders in the past two years.
two elders were disfellowshipped, and one disassociated and walk away a month ago.. when this happens receiving confidential documents is severed.
the last announcement we received was 2020-07-23. i was not about to send out a childish letter on "mold" in the kingdom halls.. there are people out there out of work and concerned about what they will eat tomorrow, and the watchtower is concerned with mold!.

Frozen do you really believe what you just said? The constitution must be followed period or we are no better than a banana republic. The people will choose who they want to govern them. If it is Trump so be it if it is Biden so be it. Anything less is treasonous.

I referred to the constitution as a living document. That includes amendments such as the bill of rights. I support the constitution in its entirety. Perhaps.I should provide.a.definition of.what is meant by a living constitution as defined by a legal expert
In the words of the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, "...the Constitution is not static. It doesn't mean what the people voted for when it was ratified. Rather it changes from era to era to comport with [...] 'the evolving standards of decency that mark the progress of a maturing society.'"
I referred to the constitution as a living document as a response to a previous post criticising the validity of its relevance to modern society.The following was posted by redvip
"Who gives a shit. It's really stupid this idea that we need to parse and decipher words written by men hundreds of years ago who knew way less that we do, as if they were Moses walking down the mountain with tablets.
These were MEN. We should be able to decide on our own what exactly is better for our country today without worrying what some guys thought was right that long ago."
