I can't remember the exact year but I distinctly remember putting out the stuff for recycling on the curb in front of my house that day so it had to be either the first or third Tuesday of the month.

Honest assessment of my life
by silent3 inmy old account was silent and i had to create a new account which kind of bums me, but here i am.. over the years i've really experienced some rough times emotionally and spiritually which led me down many paths.
being angry most all of time with a few outbursts really started to make me take stock of what was wrong with me.
further i started really going back and trying to figure out where i went wrong.. so i revisted all my previous posts on here.

Not to be harsh, but I picture the guy sitting on the sidewalk in front of a liquor store, holding a piece of cardboard with John 3:16 written on it, with a paper cup in his hand asking for spare change.

Thoughts on Sunning and blood Doctrines.
by Phizzy ini have a couple of thoughts on the blood and shunning doctrines, both of which have been covered well before.
here, and on j.w facts.com and elsewhere.. but i would like to point out the following, the only scriptures they can use in reality for their blood doctrine are the verses from acts chapter 15. o.t verse are really out of the question, and dishonest to use on their part, as they do not follow most of the injunctions in there!.
the context of acts 15 is a council of the apostles and others in the jerusalem congregation, to decide what they should ask of gentile christians in the way of behaviours and practices etc, as jewish christians were demanding they comply with the mosaic law, or were, at the very least offended if they did not.

Thoughts on Sunning and blood Doctrines ...
@Phizzy ...
I understand they (we) have a convoluted understanding of the Blood doctrine.
But when it comes to Sunning, that is a very important component for the bodily absorption of Vitamin D.
However, for those with a pale complexion, a suntan lotion with a high SPF number works well, especially for our brothers and sisters in Scandinavia.

Guns...Are You For or Against Legally Owning Them?
by minimus inthere is a surge going on of people buying guns, especially first time buyers.
with talk of police defunding and rioting in the neighborhoods, some people want to protect themselves.. do you support owning and using a gun if needed?.
-
RubaDub
are gun owners in the US required to participate in ongoing gun training?
@joey ...
In most cases, the only training here you need in the US is being able to fog a mirror if one is put under your nose.

Where Is BLONDIE?
by minimus ini might have missed this but blondie was always one of the best posters here.
her analysis and commentary was spot on.. is everything ok with her?

RubaDub
I agree that there must have been an "event" for her to leave so abruptly.
I hope she is well. She has been a great asset here over the years.

I had planned to attend but then I found out that some there would be apostates so to avoid bad association I cancelled.
Those of us in the Troof have to be careful.

Maybe I should be on the Society's Writing Committee. I could end this on-going discussion quickly.
The King of the North was Ulysses S. Grant. The King of the South was Robert E. Lee.
The North won. Meeting adjourned. Let's all stand and sing song # 12345.
As an additional note to those attending our meeting on Zoom, if you are not wearing pants you may remain seated.

Do You Believe Polls Saying Trump Will Lose To Biden?
by minimus ina new fox poll says biden is up by 12 percentage points.
of course, most other polls say trump will be trounced this time around.. do you think the polls might be right this time?
.

RubaDub
The polls you are seeing invariably poll the general populace or registered voters instead of likely voters which leads to inaccuracy
Jazzbo ...
Yes, they tend to poll more democrats in general. Democrats are more likely to say they are supporters of Biden than Republicans who say they support Trump.
They keep reporting that there are "hidden" Trump supporters that do not respond to polls.
But I can totally understand that. It is like getting a phone call from a pollster and telling them you are proud of having syphilis. And then you are asked if you "somewhat" support getting syphilis again or "definitely" support it.

RubaDub - Just to cover my bets and stay safe, I wore blackface when mowing my lawn yesterday.
@LauraV ...
If you think I have a bone of racism in my body you are wrong. Can I make fun of stereotypes that people have about others? Yes, I do it all the time.
People that can't laugh at themselves are the real racists.
If I were you, I would stop the anti-Semitism comments that you keep making.
