I lived and worked in DC for 13 years. I've visited, the Capitol, the White House, the various memorials and monuments many, many times. I've watched Congress in session and know what it takes to be admitted to the visitor galleries
I'm sympathetic to the fact that many of the J6 defendants were not given due process, but the idea that they weren't trespassing is simply not true.

Without commenting on the bigger picture, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz is a violent offender who's been deported once already
--A very poor choice to champion, as felony assault is without question a crime.
for many years, since the mid 80s, marilyn zweifel manned the help-line.
several months ago, the help-line stopped due to marilyn's serious health issues.
marilyn was hospitalized a few weeks ago.. she has serious health issues and has suffered from 2 serious falls... she is now in a nursing home.
I didn't know Marilyn, but am sorry to hear of her passing...
Curious if Zweifel was her actual surname or was it assumed for the work she did (?)
Zweifel = Doubt
Ich habe meine Zweifel = I have my doubts
the only reasons i can remember are smoking, sexual immorality and of course, apostasy.
there must be others but having been out since 1990, i'm drawing a blank.
i was thinking perhaps serious criminal offenses that result in prison, but then i remembered a brother in my congregation in the 1980's who went to prison.
Joining the military would result in "Disassociation" which is technically different than "Disfellowhipping" although the end result is pretty much the same
This was the workaround to avoid a repeat of 1918
the july 2025 watchtower has a paragraph that claims that it was the superior power and wisdom of jehovah that guided the gb into allowing jws to grow beards.. the study article is ‘can you still learn from basic bible teachings?’ under the subheading ‘jehovah is the creator’ paragraph 7 states-.

Beards have been a mark of (male) degreed professionals for at least the last 20 years.
Take Bob Borson, author of the popular blog and podcast "Life of an Architect" for example
Or Matt Harris, Assistant Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at USU:
--Nothing even the least bit unusual here.
(Sometimes I think certain posters are deliberately channeling Ken M.....)
usa politicians in charge of the economy for the past 50 years were too stupid to understand how the economy works.
this just proves my theory, that an education on the top tier universities just sucks and means nothing in the real world, unless its in the stem education.
for 50 years usa had zero tariffs on other countries.
Rivergang,
It also includes primary industries...
Okay...My observation, as an engineer here in the land of Orbital ATK, Dillon Aero, Raytheon, etc., is that automation has not eliminated the "good" jobs.
The days of standing at a machine all day are gone, but human beings are involved in every step of any manufacturing process and are still very much the brains of the operation.

A lot would dépend on how one définies "Production Facility" and "Fully Automated"
The first thing that popped into my head was manufacturing, but production can include a lot of things

Heard and McDonald Islands are external territories of Australia since 1947 and would be treated as Australia proper for purposes of tariffs.
--Assuming anything could actually be manufactured, mined or grown there which is extremely unlikely..
These islands are very tiny, very inhospitable, they both have active volcanoes, the waters around them are treacherous and they are both restricted. You can't set foot on either one without permission from the Australian government and they're only giving permission to scientific expeditions once in a while.
The inclusion of these islands as countries subject to tariffs reeks of AI and its inability to exercise subjective judgement.
the wikipedia has not even his date of birth, photos unavailable.
only the places where he rapped and murdert are known nothing else.
normally when somebody like him kills and murders everything gets public, which school was he, what was kn his mind and so on and so on.
--Sounds to me that although he had a JW upbringing, he was not actually a JW as an adult.
"Ein Artikel aus der österreichischen Zeitung Der Standard sorgte unter Zeugen Jehovas für beträchtlichen Wirbel. Hatte sich doch herausgestellt, daß ein gesuchter Serienmörder "in der Wahrheit" aufgewachsen war."
"An article in the Austrian newspaper Der Standard caused considerable agitation among Jehovah's Witnesses. It emerged that a wanted serial killer [Wolfgang Ott] had been raised "in the truth."
"Seine Eltern waren Zeugen Jehovas, er durfte als Kind nie seinen Geburtstag feiern, Weihnachten ist auch immer ausgefallen, geprügelt wurde er. Er weiß nicht, was Liebe ist", meint Verteidiger Karl Muzik...
"His parents were Jehovah's Witnesses, As a child he was not allowed to celebrate his birthday, Christmas was never observed, he was beaten, he does not know what love is" says defense attorney Karl Muzik..
asking jehovah’s witnesses to interpret specific passages is a great way to demonstrate their interpretive abuse.
got any clear examples?.
To be fair, most literal translations render the Greek definite article (ὁ) as the English definite article (the) here:
...ὁ πιστὸς δοῦλος καὶ φρόνιμος...
and here:...ὁ πιστὸς οἰκονόμος καὶ φρόνιμος...
--Not saying the AV, Rheims and a couple of others are wrong in rendering it as either 'a' (Matthew) or 'that' (Luke) but they are the ones taking a bit of liberty here.
