Research suggests that women in politics often face unrealistic expectations and stereotypes, being forced to walk a tightrope between acceptable femininity and masculinity ¹. They're expected to be caring, empathetic, and compassionate, yet strong, authoritative, and decisive.

 

Is that a footnote in your comment?

Yup. Which is one of several red flags that that must be AI generated...

Just my epiphany this morning  .....

 

NONE of this matters. It doesn't matter who gets elected as Jehovah can bend nations like a stream - Proverbs 21:1

 

Quote

 

A king’s heart is like streams of water in Jehovah’s hand. He directs it wherever He pleases.

 

 

And as to "justice" .... Why would I ever think THIS system would provide any kind of "justice". It is corrupt from head to toe (see Daniel 2 ). True Justice ONLY comes from Jehovah and He will meet it out how He sees fit AND if He chooses to allow the ransom to cover over WHATEVER - SO BE IT! He knows better than me FOR SURE!!

 

 

Just pray for the Kingdom, talk about the Kingdom and stay focused on the Kingdom and He will take care of the rest. I do NOT have to even think about all the other stuff.

 

I suppose that is exactly what Jesus was trying to tell me,

 

Quote

33 “Keep on, then, seeking first the Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these other things will be added to you.+ 34 So never be anxious about the next day,+ for the next day will have its own anxieties. Each day has enough of its own troubles.

 

He will not only "add" the physical, but as the next verse shows - even soothe the mental.

 

May you all have peace!!

 

I have a little more from him today than yesterday.

Yup.  Though a potential path to the GT is becoming clearer by the day.  To me anyways.  But I'll refrain from speculating.  

 

Just gotta keep our focus on the Kingdom and inspire each other to do the same!

(sighs) Fine (Dusts off tin foil hat) Hello old friend.  If this is too spicy feel free to remove it.

 

So, being a formal conspiracy theorist, my FULL thoughts on the whole election. Picture it, Washington D.C. January 6, 2021...yall know what happened then (and for those not in the USA, pretty right wingers stormed the us capital due to being mad about Trump not winning the 2020 election). It. Was. Staged. Stay with me (Grabs the person that left). Being able to stand up to the government and let them know they went too far is a right that we have as US citizens. Now because of Jan 6th, people are going to be too scared to stand up for themselves because no one wants to "Look like crazy right winged nuts".

So...heres what I think is going to happen:

 

If Trump wins: The left will be mad but wont do anything about it due to not wanting to look like a right winged nut

If Kamala wins: She's going to do so much crazy stuff that'll screw up BOTH sides (in honesty i think WWII + a draft will happen), but guess what...cant do anything about it because then you'll look like a crazy right winged nut

 

They (the government) opened up the doors to do whatever they wanted. It is no coincidence that Roe v Wade was overturned after Jan 6th, what were the pro abortionists going to do? Overthrow the..oh wait, i forgot, THEY CANT, BECAUSE THEY WILL LOOK LIKE (continues to rant and ramble while the site moderators drags me away)

 

But in all honestly, I'm happy i became one of Jehovah's witnesses last year because as you can see ^ i would have probably gone insane by now. No matter the outcome, I'm good, Jesus and Jehovah got our backs <3

Isn't it refreshing to let go of that way of thinking?

[Qapla]

We recently had our CO visit. In a couple of his talks, he reminded the congregation of the need for neutrality. He mentioned several times that it doesn't matter who wins the US election "since they all have the same father".

 

While the world will push their agenda, left or right, we, as JW's, must remember, we have Jehovah as our father - not the father they have ... regardless how far to the right or left they lean - their father is the same for all of them ... and it's NOT Jehovah.

Yes, and no. I've been like this at a very very very young age. Not gonna lie, i feel the term 'conspiracy theorist' is a term the government made to make people that dont trust them look crazy. I mean do you feel that the government is pushing LGBT propaganda to children to potentially mess them up in the future or even make them infertile to help stop or slow down the population, in the term of pushing transgender ideology? Conspiracy theorist were screaming that the covid vaccine was going to be MORE than one vaccine, not a one and done thing, we were called crazy, but how many boosters did they come out with and said "Oh, yeah you need more boosters for it to work"*. Do I feel that this election will shape the world for the next 20+ years, 100%.

 

Do i trust the government? No, not one bit. Do i care about what the government does as much anymore? Not really since i know something better is around the corner. However does that make me more paranoid....slightly.

 

I guess its more of a "Yeah i'm more paranoid and untrusting of the government now, but i just dont care anymore" vs "Yeah i dont trust the government and i care"

*And my edit: The fact that they had to change definitions of herd immunity and how vaccines worked just made the whole covid incident so sketchy i'm not gonna lie. You're gonna tell me that thousands of people die from diabetes every day and you cant afford to give them insulin but you can afford to give millions of people a free vaccine? Nah....the government doesnt give away anything for free without a caveat... (yes this does mean im unvaccinated)

OTOH, it's like watching a landslide, you don't need to watch every rock and piece of dirt to know what will happen. We don't know if everything that happens is intentional or not, but we do know it's part of the landslide caused by Satan.

 

Stop and really, really think about how much of what you just mentioned will mean to you in a 100 years. Keep the present in perspective while you look at the future.

I mean it is fascinating to see just how corrupt his system is.  From top to bottom.  Completely throughout.

 

But in the end, it doesn't matter.  My attention and time belongs to God's Kingdom & studying it so I can explain it better to others.  And I need to make sure to save a little time to work on myself too.  😋

My illustration of the landslide sums up my view of the world. I don't need to figure out why one rock went one direction, and another rock went a different direct. I don't need to understand which rock caused a pile of dirt to fall, I don't need to understand the cause and effect of every part of the landslide. I'm content standing back, watching it happen and waiting for the dust to settle. We know who started the landslide, the details of the slide are irrelevant.

Unless the landslide is so big and massive and coming straight for you, you might be interested in seeing how things are moving and the rocks tumbling, so you can formulate a way to avoid getting caught up in it.  

 

I'll see myself out now.  

 

It is a very good illustration and I'm going to steal it.

I can imagine someone watching a large landslide from a safe distance and wondering if a particular rock or tree will fall, will the rock hit the tree or the tree hit the rock? It's easy to get caught up in the details but the truth is that everything in the area will be affected. It's easier to stand back and just wait for the dust to settle.

On the other hand ...

 

https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/22/politics/rudy-giuliani-bankruptcy-georgia-election-workers/index.html

 

Quote

Judge Lewis Liman of the federal court in Manhattan said Giuliani must turn over his interest in the property to the women in seven days, to a receivership they will control. The judge’s turnover order of the luxury items is swift and simple, but the penthouse apartment will have its control transferred so Freeman and Moss can sell it, potentially for millions of dollars.

 

The women, who counted Georgia ballots after the 2020 election, will also be entitled to about $2 million in legal fees Giuliani has said the Trump campaign still owes him, the judge ruled.

 

In addition to the Trump campaign fees and the New York apartment, Giuliani must also turn over a collection of several watches, including ones given to him by European presidents after the September 11, 2001, attacks; a signed Joe DiMaggio jersey and other sports memorabilia; and a 1980 Mercedes once owned by the Hollywood star Lauren Bacall. Additionally, the judge ordered that Giuliani turn over his television, items of furniture and jewelry.

 

There does always seem to be a scapegoat for the wealthy.

 

Soon, wealth won't make a difference either - as it can't save     Ez 7:19

There's nothing saying they cannot do something to force a draft. I know it's 'illegal' but the government will find a way, like i said, what are people gonna do about it?

Edit: Yeah i made a typo, i appreciate the people that realized i meant to say former and not formal though
