  And as far as I know NK never signed any agreement to be legally under the jurisdiction of the international body that forbids nuclear underground testing.

  All the rhetoric is not going to cause any war. All KJU wants to do is to test and build nuclear missiles for defense -with or without rhetoric ( and get publicity) -He doesn't want to wind up like Saddam Hussein. But, at least for the immediate present KJU is not going to attack the US -with or without rhetoric. Rhetoric is not a factor for KJU.

  And while it is true that KJU has apparently violated international law, that Is for an international Court to adjudicate. It also appears that neither China or Russia want to hold him accountable for the blast,

  Underground nuclear testing is against international law.

  So what, world powers have broken international laws without consequences ( from the perspective of NK) and after US and I presume, Russia and China conducted their nuclear tests, then they pass laws making things illegal. Says KJU : "Bullocks!"

  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapons_testing
  

  China is shielding NK for reasons of self-interest.

  China has stated in not so many words that they will not allow NK regime to collapse (hint). And when Putin stated that there will be PLANETARY catastrophe, he appears to be hinting that if US nukes NK, Russia might not like it - another way of putting DT words of 'fire and fury.'

  There is not much the US can do at this point, NK having ICBM with thermonuclear tips. Either wipe out the present gov as it did with Saddam, destroy NK, or give KJU what he wants under the guise of diplomacy.

  Thus, if US really wants to take away the cookies from KJU, it won't be easy.

  If the US would not tolerate anymore nuclear threats from NK, it should have made it clear from the beginning when DT threatened fire and fury.

  After warning someone the first time, what to do, warn them again? If sanctions don't work the first time, they are never going to work. It would have been better not to warn and not to sanction. The only move immediately after defiance should have been action, then people would believe you mean business next time you threaten and fear even a hint.

  NK is only testing its missiles and knows that it is curtains if they actually attack. Since they've flown missiles over Japan before and got away with it, the latest missiles should not be a surprise, they've done it before. Also, they're latest bomb test inside NK was inside NK. People do what they like inside their their houses. NK is not going to stop doing what they believe they have a right to to do.

  Those who DO NOT get a resurrection?

  so we know that by jw logic, the idea is that everyone who dies is acquitted of their sin and will get a resurrection in the "new world".

  however, those directly destroyed by god, or at his command will not.

  (for example, those destroyed in the flood.

  Coco, you are a very cool and likable dude. I can relate to how you feel. They would have kept you too and they never would have asked you to leave. I know people that you know that after all these years were asked to leave. I felt so bad for them. You had to be very stable to have had the job you had. Were you inthe Spanish with Franz?

  Giordano, there is good and bad in being institutionalized but you have to try it to know what I mean. One gets used to it but the grass looks greener on the other side when you are there and when you leave one misses things about the institution.

  there was no choice for females.

  You are right but there were single sisters that were accepted. The problem was, who were they going to room with. So, the single sister that came to bb was accepted with her "fleshy" ( I hate to use that word ) sister together. The Ledley sisters for example. And single sisters too. Louise Borden for example and Carrol S.. And widow sisters too. Sister Di Cecca. But there were very few unmarried sisters.I don't remember if Laura Decker was also in bb before she married Jerry. But having a whole bunch of single females running around would have been a problem. A couple of very beautiful married sister I remember were Debby Barr and another Polish sister named Eva Wilson. I don't know if anyone remembers a single sister named Esther or Ester Lupiz. elderly, Mexican but didn't look it;she was always with Bro and sis Knorr.
