  Saving Money While Stuck At Home

  by Simon in

  so you're stuck at home, you may be worried about your income, welcome to the world of filling your stuck-in-the-house time with saving some money!.

  here in canada, our energy costs are going up because we have a carbon tax.

  today, in the middle of the crisis, trudeau is raising it by 50%, probably as some perverse "thank you" to all the truckers delivering vital goods.

  Constantly switching off and on expensive equipment can come back to bite you when they break down early because of the expansion and contraction that occurs in the circuit boards every time you cut the power to them and let them cool down.

  some people i know have not gone out of their houses in weeks.

  some will walk near their homes and run right back in.

  meanwhile, i go food shopping and i see tons of people, many with masks and gloves on..

  We're isolated because them's the rules here in NZ. There is lots of stuff to do on our property and our hobbies keep us both busy, so we won't be going stir crazy any time soon, but it would be nice to take the boat out to catch some fish, (not allowed). I'd stocked up on bait and chum before the lockdown thinking I was being clever :D

  My Missus has already said she needs a bottle of red wine and is happy to have whatever I give her from our cellar. That is, of course, until something else is said by the head inmate of her chosen institution.
  

  When I was a young fellow, which wine was used was important and had to be approved. I remember that there was talk about bull's blood being used to color some red wines and that would never do.

  Whatever wine it was, we demolished the rest of the bottle before we went to bed.

  there will be no hope that she will ever come out of the wt abyss.

  her mind is so diluted with the cult, i.e.

  the best life ever.

  Encourage her to make statements that she will regret once the crisis is over. The more committed she is, the better.

  Later ....
  

  "Remember when you said ...?" What do you think now ....?

  Not knowing the name of the person you are asking us to help is a big red flag to me. I hope it's just to move furniture around in his house.

  where it is commanded/commissioned that a group of people should build a house of worship called a kingdom hall??

  ---i have a lot of relevant scriptures on that subject.

  i would also like to see where it says in the word of yahweh that he chose a man-made organization to be his "voice" that he speaks through; .

  need input: Asked my wife to show me in the bible where Christ became King in 1914

  by goingthruthemotions in

  2. experiences

  so my wife is so diluted and brainwashed.

  during this time she is having so much anxiety, mainly because me and my son's want nothing to do with the religion.. so the discussion was, i told her will never go back because they go way beyond what the bible teaches all the time.

  i brought up overlapping generation, 607 and then i told her...show me where in the bible that jesus returned invisbly in 1914 and started ruling?

  It doesn't matter how they do it. Leave it up to her to do the research to explain it to you. If she doesn't want to bother, choose a better question, preferably something that bothers her, not you.

  as sgt pepper sang, "it was 20 years ago today" ... that i made my first post on my first forum.. i obviously didn't put too much thought into what it should say although i must have burned 45 posts testing things and was too lazy to reset the counter before going live (?):.

  https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/46/welcome.

  but somehow, it worked and grew and here we all are, 20 years on.
