  "whether including antimatter or not, to dispose of the surplus of decaying bodies in a speedy and sanitary way."
  
  Using the convention that 1 kiloton TNT equivalent= 4.184×1012 joules (or one trillion calories of energy), one half gram of antimatter reacting with one half gram of ordinary matter (one gram total) results in 21.5 kilotons-equivalent of energy (the same as the atom bomb dropped on Nagasaki in 1945).
  
  1 pound=453 grams and I'll assume each corpse weighs on average 150 pounds. 453x150 = 67,950.

  67,950 Nagasaki bombs going off with each corpse disposed of in this way. Times billions of corpses. Pretty dumb idea.

  Is This New?

  it is a very long time since i was an elder and the elders textbooks have changed multiple times since then.

  going back to when i was an elder, to the best of my knowledge the only way a spouse could divorce from his/her partner was porneia, if that person had sexual relations with a man, woman, child, or beast.

  but it had to be proven and that's the dubious 2 witness rule.. in fact, if it was not proven and the innocent party divorced and married someone else, then they could be hauled up in front of a judicial committee and be charged with committing adultery and disfellowshipped!

  "However, if the innocent spouse chose not to divorce, what followed was the messy business of alleged forgiveness by this wronged spouse if they resumed sexual relations with the guilty partner which would imply they were accepting them back into the marriage bed."
  
  I dont have anything to add as far as your question, but the quote above brought back a memory. I was not an elder, I just became aware through the gossip vine. Anyways there was a married couple in the congregation I attended and it turns out one of them had been carrying on a very long term affair. The cheater apparently showed the correct level of repentance and wasn't disfellowshipped. The spouse did not immediately seek a divorce, who knows why. Kids involved, financial insecurity, shock, do I want to walk away from a 20+ year marriage? I'm sure all these things were running through their head.
  
  About a year or two later, the aggrieved spouse decided they just couldn't be in a marriage that had been lies and deception for years.
  
  Guess which one found themselves in the hot seat? The person who had been cheated on because the intervening time between the confession and the decision to seek divorce indicated there had been "forgiveness" and I presume, the assumption that sexual relations must have resumed at some point in the interval.

  "80 years ago that embattled region saw bible students, executed even for refusing to dig defensive anti tank trenches."

  "if they persecute you in one place, flee to another" , like to the UK, which was exemplary in the second WW to respect conscientious objector's stand."
  
  Yeah, go squat in someone else's home and let them work and sacrifice while you wait in vain for Jehovah to magically fix things. Morons.

  "Gaelic? I love the accent. As for Indians, I have never met one who didnt speak better English than americans,"
  
  Perhaps, but the Indian accent is like nails on a chalkboard.

  "At Verdel, Nebraska, the wife of Fila Sherman, his seventeen-year-old daughter Vivian and his thirteen-year-old daughter Esther died within a week after they had eaten corn prepared in an aluminum pan; very sad, but quite to be expected."
  
  Sounds like something mikejw, ana marina or enoughisenought would breathlessly report to us after an evening researching bitchute conspiracy vids.

  Smoking gun GB can’t get out of this one

  2. beliefs

  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 .

  "BettyHumpter-thank God for my tin hat."

  
  

  Fair enough.
  
  Since you come from a different perspective, I'm curious what your thought are on David Icke?
  
  According to Icke, tall, blood-drinking, reptilian humanoids from the Alpha Draconis star system, now hiding in underground bases, are the force behind a worldwide plot against humanity.
  
  He contends that most of the world's ancient and modern leaders are related to these reptilians, including the Rothschild's, the Bush family and the British Royal Family. In fact, according to Icke and also many YouTube videos I could ask you to sit through, Queen Elizabeth died over 30 years ago and the current imposter is an alien reptilian in a human skin suit.
  
  Thoughts?

  Do you think the JW's ever will or could go the Mormon route?

  by BettyHumpter in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what i mean is the mormon's have their own set of wacky beliefs and are a pretty insular group, engage in a form of door to door ministry but don't discourage higher education.

  in fact, the handful of mormons i went to school with were pushed to excel academically and go to college.

  yeah there are ex mormons but for a great many, going to university doesn't turn them into atheists.

  "There are various factions of Mormons, just like there are multiple factions of Millerites. Ba’hai, Seventh Day Adventist, JW, Bible Students etc are to Millerism what LDS, FLDS, Firstborn, Reorganized etc are for Mormons."
  
  I'm talking about the main branch. The one with the giant temple in Salt Lake City and the ones who founded and now sponsor Brigham Young University.
  
  I agree that the FLDS crazies who live out in the desert with 50 wives dressed like little house on the prairie probably dont go to college ;)
