  Larsen's eyebrows were bigger than hairbrushes and I cannot figure how he got away with keeping them so long without being counseled to trim them down like everybody else's. Also, how did they hand pick those brothers to work in the gatherers and in the laundry -and in the can crew- hmmm. Also, I could never understand why Songer wasn't factory overseer instead of Larsen, he was certainly more qualified -at least that's how I saw it.

  I was watching the Nuremberg trials and the trial of Saddam Hussein. Will the losers of a war with NK meet the same fate?

  Dental Implants and Positives/Negatives from Anyone?

  i'm sure there's residents onboard here that aren't afraid of them (like i am!

  ) and the megadoses of antibiotics taken after the minor surgery.

  seems the meds need to be taken since a foreign object has been inserted into the bone (titanium) which the body accepts (really?

  I don't have problems with my teeth so I can't tell you from personal experience but I know a few people that got them and pain and discomfort are the number one problem and the more you do at the same time, the more the pain. Notwithstanding the pain though, seems that implants are the way to go. They stay in permanently which is a lot better than having taking out dentures to clean and as so say having to file down good teeth. I never heard about a problem regarding he antibiotic aspect of this procedure.

  interesting observations i've noticed when visiting my uber elder cousin and his wife.

  he just inherited a lovely home on the water on puget sound from his non jw dad who passed away earlier this year.

  so they have spent many $$$ and months remodeling this house to their standards which are quite expensive tastes.

  That's an old implication that the end would come at the turn of the century.

  Concept faithful discreet slave

  according to the "new light" the faithful slave class appeared after jesus came 1914 (rather 1918 he inspected the temple) and was bestowed with assigement to provide spiritual food.. there are a number of problems with this new concept:.

  how did russel and co found out about certain unique teachings diffferent from mainstream christendom?.

  option 1) apparently by himself, as there was no fds at his time.

  So the approval of the self-proclaimed FDS is not autOmatic.

  Axiomatically. Wt only professes to be such but neither does that disqualify them. I use to get a kick out of Billy Graham pat himself on the back all the time saying to himself "Well done, faithful slave."

  i know or think i know that trump is bluffing and acting very bully like with threats of unleashing his power as commander and chief a military with super weapons.

  but why bluff with such boyish stupidity?

  i think mr trumps barginings skills are at an all time low and so the threats of violence and retaliation for misbehaving according to the whims of a narcissist.. my confidence in him is at an all time low, talk about cave man club you over the head approach to problems this guy takes the cake.

  Un knows that NK being blown off the face of the earth by the US is not good for his regime, his economy or his health -which would surely happen (as certain as the Pope being Polish not too long ago) if he decided to attack the US. The US would not send troops or bomber jets, they would show NK and the world how dangerous it is to attack US soil -Pearl Harbor (hint). But Un will attack if he believes his personal life is in danger.

  does that mean that the Bible is actually truthful and we should believe it all and act on everything it teaches?

  That is another debate

  If they are provided with spiritual food from Jesus to dispense how come they were not told who they are ?

  If Jesus is the source of the food then how can the FDS "prepare" food imperfectly? But not knowing who they are is not a qualifying factor, "doing so" is. FDS is identified by Jesus finding them dispensing food when he comes -according to the verse.

  they have to provide "just" compensation right?

  I am personally going through this now and just compensation means that they decide how much they think it is just to pay you. It is just what they say the property is worth. Just only means that a judge paid by the State decides how much the will give you for the property.

  As for ED, I know what the government wants for the waterfront properties from the heights to the sunset park industrial area. And whether or not the gov would outright take the properties because wt is in the way of what the government wants, the risk of government action was there and as I have stated wt needed to get out of there . Pressure to move out of there was very real; there were other reasons too for the sale of course. As I stated, the public needed the area.
