The real question is: Did Adam and Eve pray properly before engaging in sexual relations?
”Dear Lord and God who hath smote us out the garden for our silliness: please bless this massive pounding Eve is about to get.... Amen”
i'm going to be the first and throw this out there for others but, from careful study of the scriptures i've found a loophole that even adam who was perfect at the time missed!
i'm sure everyone has heard the conundrum about ,"can god create a rock he can't lift?
" and if he can't create one he can't lift, then god cannot do everything" well that doesn't really matter since we know jehovah says himself he cannot lie right?

he has been “impeached “.
will he be convicted in the senate?
is he so “damaged goods” that he is ineffectual?
Trump is impeached and not impeached at the same time. #SchrödingersImpeachment

Trump lied to us.
He said we would get tired of winning.
i was told today that my jw family had a massive family gathering with presents exchanged, drinks and a big roast dinner.
they even wore paper hats.. the day they chose for this family day?.
26th december.. totally not christmas or anything - honest.. does anyone elses family do that?
hope you are all well,.
i was wondering within the organisation if there are any guidelines or grounds for nullifying a baptism.
see i grew up a jehovah's witness and was baptised at age 13, i didn't get baptised for the right reasons, i felt pressured to because my friends were getting baptised at the same time.
You are dealing with a highly legalistic organization. Don’t try to beat them at their own game. Just don’t even waste the effort.
It’s tempting to think about walking into an elders room and saying, “Well guys, according to section 3, subsection VI, of chapter 9, <insert legal loophole here>. So based on that, I’m just going to walk away and everyone will be accepting of that decision.” And all the elders turn to one another and go “Ohhh, subsection VI! I totally forgot about that. Yeah, yeah. We’re OK now.”
It was a mistake. You may have been a kid when you were baptized. But it doesn’t matter now. You are an adult, and can decide now to nullify your baptism - “Dear Elders, It has come to my attention that the WTB&TS is full of what some might call bovine excrement. I am no longer a JW. Thanks.”
Your family are also adults and can decide to cut ties with you. That’s a decision they make. Don’t push off their moral agency on something else. It is their, really, their decision. In my case, I confronted my family (kindly) and let them know that it is their decision, and I wouldn’t accept an explanation in which they attempted to shrug that agency off on an organization.
Some shun me, some don’t. Maybe they will come around, maybe they won’t. It is what it is...

Whether or not he can be considered an “impeached” president, IMHO, is just a word game. The Democrats would like to slap the title onto Trump to brag that being impeached is another reason to vote him out of office. Republicans would like to take that away from them. But to me, it doesn’t matter. The House held the vote, and most likely the articles will get moved to the Senate at some point. If not, then this becomes and even larger joke.
On the Senate side, I can understand both viewpoints: just dismiss vs have a trial. On the “just dismiss it” side, the House already passed horribly flawed articles, so maybe the Senate should reject the articles as a rebuke, and to set a precedent for any future partisan impeachments. On the “fair trial” side, now is the chance to bring e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g out into the open.
I tend to agree with the fair trial side. Have the trial, bring every witness that was within breathing distance of this thing, including Trump, including Biden, including Schiff, Nadler, and ask some very clear questions. Oh and get the whistleblower there too (Eric Ciaramella), and just have a forking field day, right up to the election.
in the us there is a bill in the house of representatives to decriminalize prostitution.
what do you think about that?.
Consenting adults, yes. Decriminalize.
the governing body has lovingly provided instructions and reminders to couples that they should pray before having sex.
please be obedient and follow the wise counsel from the gb leaders who never stick their noses into other peoples business and are not creepy cult leaders at all....not!.
"had he not created the first human pair so that they could cohabit, planted in them an attraction for each other and then commanded them to "be fruitful and become many"?
.... in Jesus’ name, Amen.
she certainly is passionate about climate change.
🤔.
She has the old angry Swedish lady look 100% mastered.
in the past, the former vp has challenged trump to a push-up contest and today he did again , only this time to an 83 year old man who told biden that he thought he was too old to run for president.
it appears biden called him fat and unlike the man he wasn’t sedentary.
then he challenged the man to a push-up contest.
Why can’t we have push-up contests? That seems to contain far more substance than a Democratic debate.
