Evolution News: Humanlike Footprints in Crete Dated to 6 Million Years Ago!

What decade or era in human history do you like the most or would have liked to live during?
by Fisherman inin the us, the 60s and 70s was a great time to be alive except for getting drafted if you wanted to be that age.
they were music years,  greatest movies, fun, simpler and enjoyable days—also except for the d&ugs.

Was / Is God biased ? prejudiced against certain Peoples / Tribes or Nations ?
by smiddy3 inlet me explain :.
after the creation account of the bible, tribes of people and nations began to form and spread around the land.. god first chose noah and his family to protect them as he destroys all others in the flood.. and he ticks off everyone in babel ?
and then he favours abraham and his descendants as the nation of israel culminating in the jewish lineage to jesus the son of god.. he has never had any dealings with any other people`s or nation isn`t that some form of favouritism ?

No funeral
by road to nowhere ini have run across another jw death where the final wishes are for no service.
3rd or 4th instance.
another wanted a celebration of life which the elders squelched as far as i know.

when my old JW dad died in 2016--i had his will checked and there was no mention of any funeral arrangements--and i know in the final years of his life he never mentioned it to me. I was his next of kin and visited him frequently--which the local " brothers" didnt any more. Ive no clue as to whether he had asked them not to..or if it was because they knew of his close association with me.
Anyway--i certainly didnt want any jw's at his funeral--or any kind of religious service. So a simple quiet committal was arranged--attended by me. 2 friends of mine ( both ex dubs ) and a couple of staff from the care home he had lived at for his final years. None of my family attended.
