A no-nonsense Congress person who has done her tours in Afghanistan and sounds at least half-way intelligent. She reminds me of someone with the "balls" of Hillary Clinton but doesn't fly around on a broom. One downside is that she is from Hawaii, a State that the Dems will win in any case, so there is no help with her in battleground States.

When our choices for President are Beevis or Butthead, and our current VP who would better serve as a department store mannequin, we have to have a good VP ready to step in.

Trump suggests postponing the elections ... I'm not making this up

elections have been held per the us constitution during many difficult times; us civil war, ww i, ww ii, whatever.

i just put on the pro-trump fox news and even they are saying ... oooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. this is really scary.

are we headed towards a dictatorship?

RubaDub

but a lot of people are switching to these really long putters, very unattractive... it's weird. You see these great players with these really long putters

Mr Finkelstein ...

I think he was just indirectly referring to the fact that now there are more African-American golfers on the tour with longer and thicker putters. Plus much longer fingers than Trump's.

New Disfellowshipping Procedure

by Anna Marina in

disfellowship but never, ever announce it.. this new procedure is to be confirmed - anyone else come across it?.

for this record these are jesus' actual instructions in relation to this matter:-.

(matthew 18:15-17) 15 “moreover, if your brother commits a sin, go lay bare his fault between you and him alone.

RubaDub

This smells like complete nonsense. There is no point in df’ing if nobody knows.

@Justaguy.....

Yea. Sort of like being on double-secret probation and no one knows. You never say hello to anyone at the KH and shun everyone since they may be DF'd. You sit in the back row of the KH and leave immediately after the meeting to avoid any potential bad association.

Perhaps to make the DF process less offensive to people outside of the organization, they can make a loving provision that they will add more Vaseline and remove the sand and gravel when you get screwed.

Jesus on the stake

by dothemath in

i sat in recently with some relatives for the sunday meeting.

the talk was given by a bethel speaker, who at one point quoted john 20:25.

“but he said to them: “unless i see in his hands the print of the nails and stick my finger into the print of the nails and stick my hand into his side, i will never believe it.”.

RubaDub

Did Jesus die on a cross or a torture stake? Who cares!!

@Davros ......

I could not agree more. I always thought that Jesus sacrifice was his life, not exactly how he died. Would it have made any difference if Pilate had nailed Jesus to his garage instead of a cross or stake? I don't think so. I thought the sacrifice thing was the meaning or purpose of the entire process.

But then religions have to get twisted up in the details.

the attack of Trump-of-Magog

@lastmanstanding ...

I really like that translation. I like to read refreshing, modern-day translations.

Then the scripture further continues that God will then put a hook in the jaw bone of that horse's ass.

Yes I just heard of this new procedure, a bit shocking to say the least

@Mr Finkelstein ...

Yes, I heard about that for brothers involved in fornication.

The lower, hanging down parts are put into a Society-approved container and then quickly removed to reduce the number of future "problems".

Afterwards, it will be up to the local body of elders whether to refer to the person as a brother or a sister. Instead of he or she, our CO suggested it may be best to refer to the person as "it".

In any case, standing up when peeing will be a memory from the past.

look at the new york post online today and watch the videos of mayhem and destruction to the city with fires all over manhattan.

the police vehicles are being destroyed and torched and the rioting just goes on and on.. i regularly went to nyc sometimes once a month for years.

now, who on earth would want to go to this hellhole??.

Rasmussen has Trump at 50% today.

Min ...

You know how the process works. Trump is at 38% one week, 50% the next week, etc etc etc.

It all depends upon 38% or 50% of who you are polling. I do think there were more hidden Trump voters at some point but now with Biden, I think there are a lot of hidden Biden voters who do not necessarily want to raise their hand and say "I'm for Biden". Personally, I think a large number Biden voters are not "for" Biden but against Trump.

Time will tell.
