"Any death is sad but I'm not PRETENDING to care on a personal basis like the virtue signalling hypocrites."
Who specifically do you have in mind with this statement?

"Gonna have to print new stamps now."
Money too. Does anyone know if they will make an effort to quickly replace the old currency with the new as soon as it arrives back to the banks from circulation or will it be over a few years as the worn notes are replaced? -

"the artwork showed people wearing mask....Anyway, my thought later was this was a sort of preprogramming...( like they knew in advance what was coming )"
I dont know if there was such a picture or not. But I find it interesting how conspiracy theorist's often (always in hindsight) find that those orchestrating the conspiracy are always kind enough to publish hidden clues to their agenda.
"Alright Gentleman, our secret plot is now in place. Only one detail remains. Who is in charge of placing the hidden clues of our diabolical scheme throughout various media? Oh, it's Jim? Excellent!" - followed by maniacal laughter and twirling of mustaches. -

Old people always think their country is going to hell. Many elderly people here in the US look back on the 1950's through a fog of nostalgia as a time when the country was 'great'. But I would bet that my great grandfather who was IN his 50's and 60's in the 1950's would have said the country was going to hell compared to the 1920's when he was a young man. And HIS father probably would have complained the country was going to hell in the 1920's and the country was great in the glorious 1890's.
I'm beginning to see it happen with some of my friends lately as well. Except for them it's the 1990's that were some golden age. It's the way of things. -

Smoking gun GB can’t get out of this one
by Mikejw inhere 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 .

More Watchtower Quotes
by Sea Breeze inthe secret of the greater intelligence and aptitude of the caucasian undoubtedly in great measure is to be attributed to the commingling of blood amongst its various branches; and this was evidently forced in large measure by circumstances under divine control.“ — charles taze russell zion's watch tower (july 15, 1902), pp.
215-216.. golden age, july 1, 1927..... every bedroom [should receive] at least two hours of sunlight everyday.

"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?
by Lost in the fog init 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. -

"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.
