below i link the article.

i thought some points on the claim were interesting.

such as how prolonged direct exposure to sunlight hurts us vs other animals, sicknesses, etc.

I think there's a point there. We are not hairy like our predecessors so we need shelter and warmth in winter unlike other mammals who have no concerns about the cold weather.

"“Even when they say gays cannot worship God, who has the final say?” he called. “Jehovah has the final say,” they responded.
“Even when they push us out of their churches by force, who has the final say?”
“Jehovah has the final say.”

great to see a trek tv series finally get a reasonable budget.

beautiful costumes, sets, cinematography, action pieces, etc.. really my only complaints are how cg all the ships look and there's a fair bit of stiff dialog from time to time.. what do you guys think of the show?.

I like Discover but it seems like they jump all over the place.

Question from readers: Should a youth who struggles with masturbation sleep with a pillow?
You young people know that it is wise to make such restrictions, especially during "the bloom of youth." (1 Corinthians 7:36). The Governing Body understands that youths find it especially hard to resist the temptation to engage in self abuse. With firmness and strength, a brother tempted to stimulate himself with a pillow, might find that lying on his back without the pillow, falls asleep faster and thus avoids practices displeasing to Jehovah. Some sisters have given into the "desires incidental to youth" even while engaging in personal study of the Bible (2 Timothy 2:22). One sister recalls reading the account at Ezekiel 23:20: "There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys.” How did she react and with what result? The sister says, "at first I got excited but then I remembered how Jehovah punished Onan for wasting his seed." We encourage you young people to remain steadfast and to "Praise Jehovah from the earth, . . . you young men and also you virgins.” (Psalm 148:7, 12)

Lloyd is good at what he does. I'm not saying he's perfect but he has the personality to get things done. Some of us might wish we could do what he does, others are comfortable with staying in the shadows and lurking. Lloyd is exposing the Watchtower - at great cost to himself and consequently lost his relationship with his witness dad.
