Jehovah's Witnesses Don't believe in a fiery place, "Hell" where bad people are tormented in the afterlife.
They believe that bad people will just die and be unconscious forever.
jehovah’s witnesses believe via russell..... a god that would use his power to create human beings whom he foreknew and predestinated should be eternally tormented, could neither be wise, just nor loving.
his standards would be lower than that of many men....mankind search for god pg 351. hebrews 12: 8 for the lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes each one he accepts as his child.
for reasoning sake, does russell argument holds here since even those god sees as children and god loves are disciplined or punished?.

democrats are always harping on and on about voting rights and how the ability to vote should be easier and access unrestricted.
the most progressive ones want to allow prisoners, and illegals with no voter id the ability to vote along with the criminals, drug addicts, and uneducated low lives who already can vote.. .
after they push for everyone and anyone to be able to vote they then tell us it is a sacred privilege, a duty and honor, and a big responsibility blah, blah ect..... if it is all those grandiose things are true i think it should be harder to vote not easier.
peacefulpete liam.....Trump is a convicted felon yet he voted the other day. How was this possible?
I gave some examples in my previous post of how some States allow even Incarcerated people to vote from Prison.
From My post.
Here are some examples.
Incarcerated people from Maine, Vermont, and Washington, DC, can vote from prison

I'm assuming you know that first line is not true. The vast majority of gun sales are private and untraced. I sold a 357 handgun out of my trunk in a McDonald's parking lot, lol
I wouldn't assume, I would make sure the State I live in allows "private gun sales" without a background check. Otherwise, you might unexpectedly get a visit that will cost you some $$$$.
While the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees the right of private citizens to keep and bear arms, there are some limits and regulations on how they are sold and who may possess them. Federally licensed firearms dealers are required by federal law to conduct background checks on prospective buyers, but private (unlicensed) sellers are not. Some states require background checks for private sales, usually through a licensed intermediary, but others have few to no regulations on private gun sales.
Federal gun laws established under the Brady Handgun Violence Protection Act prohibit gun ownership by certain individuals, such as the mentally ill or those under protective orders for domestic violence.
Here's a list of some of the States and their Law Code regarding private gun sales.

Yes, in many states, both you and your friend will need to pass a background check before transferring ownership to ensure compliance with federal and state laws.

In the USA the Individual States determine who is qualified to Vote.
And the State law changes every election term, depending on whether the governor and State legislature becomes Republican majority or Democratic majority.
Guess what majority runs New York and California.
Here are some examples.
Incarcerated people from Maine, Vermont, and Washington, DC, can vote from prison
In 23 states, those with felony convictions automatically regain the right to vote when they are released from prison.
In 14 states, people formerly incarcerated for felonies automatically regain the right to vote after completing their entire sentence, including probation or parole
Eleven states do not automatically restore voting rights to everyone with felony convictions.
Six states — Delaware, Florida, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Wyoming — automatically restore voting rights for certain crimes, such as nonviolent felonies.
The specific crimes disqualifying former prisoners from automatic voting right restoration varies from state to state, but most commonly includes homicide, sexual crimes, and certain theft crimes.
As far as background checks for gun buying individuals, the USA has mandatory background check by the FBI. Contrary to popular belief, No one can buy a gun without a FBI background check. But most citizens are ignorant of this fact. And Democrats know this, so they use the rhetoric that the government needs to stop the hundreds or thousands of mass murders in the USA, and can only be accomplish by a Universal Registration.
FBI stats, show that more deaths are accomplish by knives than AR15.
What Democrats want is a Universal registration for all gun buyers. Which is different than a back ground check. A Universal registration is what allowed Hitler and other tyrants to disarm the citizens and allow them to commit genocide.
Gun buyers are required to submit to a background check through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS).
A prospective buyer fills out ATF Form 4473 and the federally licensed firearms dealers relays this information to the NICS. NICS staff perform a background check to verify the prospective buyer does not have a criminal record and is not otherwise ineligible to purchase a firearm.
The NICS has conducted more than 300 million checks since launching in 1998, leading to over 3 million denials.
The following groups are currently prohibited from owning guns:
Convicted felons
People under federal domestic restraining orders
People convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence crimes against victims they have been married to, lived with, or had a child with
People committed to a mental-health facility, or a court ruled were mentally unfit
Fugitives
People convicted of drug crimes or determined to by a court to be addicted to an illegal controlled substance
Thirty states, five US territories, and the Washington, DC rely on the FBI for background checks via the NICS. Seven states handle some background checks with the FBI in charge of specific types of transactions. The remaining 13 states, known as “point of contact” states, rely on state law enforcement agencies for background checks.
There is no such thing as buying a gun in the USA without a background check.That being the case, how is it criminals get guns?
Why does the ATF go after Law abiding citizens with guns instead of going after gang members with guns?

A first-in-the-nation California proposal could make undocumented immigrants eligible for up to $150,000 in state-supported home loans just as immigration has become an incendiary topic in the presidential election.
The measure is likely to pass the California Legislature this week where Democrats enjoy a supermajority and in a state that has the largest share of undocumented immigrants in the country.
i didn’t get the covid vaccine, but i admit, i was scared as shit i made the wrong decision because there was so much confusion out there.
practically all my family and most of my friends took the vaccine because everyone was depending on those in charge to speak the truth.
now a lot of them are sick, and they can't figure out why.
MeanMrMustard
In the end, what's obvious to me : the left is nuts, the government is too big, we shouldn't be funding gain-of-function research. The government needs to be put back in its box.

That article was mind-provoking. I can’t imagine how catastrophic it would have been, if the mortality and infection rate of Covid in 2021 was the same as the 1918 pandemic.
Considering that today people travel all over the world regularly, if Covid was as deadly as the 1918 pandemic, and considering that today we have close to 400 million people living in the USA and over 8 billion world wide, the death count might have been close to a billion or billions world wide.
And that strain of 1918 affected young, healthy and strong as well as elderly and weak. There was no compromising. It didn’t matter if you were young, strong, and healthy, if you got the virus, you were gone.
It would have disrupted food production world wide, access to fuel in the winters, medical, water supplies, Doctors and nurses would be in short supply, and that would have caused chaos all over the world.
That’s not even considering the disease that would erupt after so many dead bodies started to pile up because no one would want to get close to infected bodies to bury them. It would have gone down in history as the worst catastrophic world event.
The world after such an event, might bring it back to a situation like the movie “The Road”

So… full conspiretard then. Complete with unnecessary formatting and misplaced capital letters
LOL, you sound like my grandfather.
He was an elder in the JW Org. Didn’t know how to use a computer, Once my dad showed him and taught him how to use email, then social media, he became the Grammar Police. It wasn’t long before he started harassing the Ministerial Servants for not using proper grammar in their emails. Not long after that he started making rules that to qualify as a MS or Elder, you had to use proper grammar in all internet communications. Not long after that, he got in a fight with all the elders. Not long after that they removed him as elder.
It’s the internet Brother.
I can use s p a c e s, or all CAPS, or Bold, or repeating exclamation !!!!! if I want to convey emphasis. I can lengthen words like yessssss or nooooo, to achieve other effects by repurposing the rules of formal writing. In the internet, we can use meme, emoticons, or just post a pic, to compensate for loss of gestures, vocal effects, or emotions.
This is not a site where critical writing by millions of authors hang out. It Chat-speak, is a place to yammer, opened to all sorts of people, coming from different islands and continents, each with its own rules, customs and conversations.
I think you would get along great with my GrandPops

I agree with you LV101
That's a big difference the way Trump approached it. "Take the Vaccine, I took it, it worked for me, ....... BUT, You have your freedom to do what you want.
The way Biden did it;
"We are going to Demand all the Armed Forces take the vaccine"
