None of the above for they were all likeable characters . I`ll have to ponder a bit longer on this one .
How about the invisible man ? He was not a nice being and always kept out of sight.

Don't forget to take Sauerkraut for COVID-19 ?
by was a new boy infermented foods may lower your risk of covid-19 death.
countries that consume higher amounts of traditionally fermented foods have lower covid-19 mortality rates.
according to german researchers, significant changes in the microbiome caused by modern life and low fermented food consumption may have increased the spread or severity of the disease.

GB teaching - Gays and Lesbians will be resurrected as Gays and Lesbians
by Listener inthe final talk of the saturday afternoon online convention is given by lett, sporting a creepy looking combover, which for some reason, looks creepier than normal.
he talks about how those resurrected will need to come into line with a new moral code otherwise they will be destroyed.
he uses an example of gay people having to turn away from their inclinations even though they may feel that they are perfectly acceptable.. this demonstrates that the gb feel that being gay is a taught behaviour rather than an imperfect unnatural desire, otherwise they would be growing out of that desire as they develop towards perfection, as they teach.

So according to to the GB ,in this talk physical ailments such as diseases and loss of limbs etc which the resurrected person had previously in the old world will not be present with the new body in the new system ,however mental and or psychological ailments will still be with them when resurrected ?
If the righteous and the unrighteous are going to be resurrected into the new system ,paradise will be an interesting place to be in ,I think not.

ELM - Elderly Lives Matter
by BourneIdentity ini believe a light has to be shown on the elderly, forget blm.
sure, blacks are being mistreated by law enforcement at times, but there are hundreds of millions of people on a daily basis having no regard for the elderly by not wearing masks in the middle of a pandemic.
they believe the elderly have to be casualties for the economy and getting normalcy back.

They didn`t stop knocking on peoples doors because of love for neighbour ,it was because it became illegal to do so ,by possibly spreading Covid -19 or contracting it themselves and spreading it to other people.
And facing a hefty fine if they disobeyed the direction of the authorities.
He mentions about baptising in the name of the Father ,Son and the Holy Spirit ? Jehovah`s witnesses do not do this .
He speaks about the unity of Jehovah`s witnesses ,what he doesn`t say is that if you disagree with the teachings of the WT/GB/JW and their current teachings you will be Disfellowshipped and shunned by everyone in the religion including your own believing members of your family.
It is interesting to note that the Teachings of JW`s have changed so many times over the years that you may have been right in disagreeing with something taught some years ago and been DF for ,that is now accepted as the "truth" now but you wont be given an apology or your DF being annulled .
He also mentions about the sanctity of human life .? Many Jehovah`s Witnesses ,man woman and child have died as a result of the No Blood ban enforced on their members or otherwise be disfellowshipped and shunned by everyone in the congregation and family members who are Jehovah`s Witnesses.

BOE Update! (as of 2020-07-31)
by Atlantis inbody of elder letters, announcements, and so forth will be next to "none" unless more elders decide to contact us and help out.. atlantis has lost three elders in the past two years.
two elders were disfellowshipped, and one disassociated and walk away a month ago.. when this happens receiving confidential documents is severed.
the last announcement we received was 2020-07-23. i was not about to send out a childish letter on "mold" in the kingdom halls.. there are people out there out of work and concerned about what they will eat tomorrow, and the watchtower is concerned with mold!.

JW Stumper Questions - List You Best Here
by pale.emperor inhi guys.
sooner or later we're going to get a jw knocking on our door.
just like when we were jw's doing the knocking, it's good to have a question prepared to get them thinking about their own beliefs.

Jehovah God and Christ Jesus never shunned Satan ,in fact many scriptures show the opposite ,so why do Jehovah`s Witnesses shun their members for trivial reasons when compared to what Satan has done ?

Care packages from "The Branch"
by DwainBowman ini'm sorry, i didn't see that someone had already posted about this!!.
i just love the special relief packages that are being provided by "the branch" it's such a "loving provision".
funny how they leave out that it's not costing them a dime, but is being given to them, to pass out!.

- The distributors and wholesalers will then provide a pre-approved box of fresh produce, dairy, and meat products to food banks, community and faith based organizations, and other non-profits serving Americans in need.
On top of these targeted programs USDA will utilize other available funding sources to purchase and distribute food to those in need.
Lets give credit where credits due and its not to the WTB&TS
