Don't be fooled, LV101. Trump feeds at the government trough just like the rest of them: Republican or Democrat. Like his father before him, much of his wealth comes from government subsidized housing. I am not supporting the Democrat Ideologues by pointing this out but I am tired of the Saintification (not a real word, just one I made up) of Trump by so many people.

What would happen to your country if you could exchange your president for Trump?
by Wonderment inwhat if we could exchange one president from another country to yours?...
say trump for trudeau, trudeau for trump, trump in exchange for your respective european country, etc -- for a few years?
would you consider it a win or a loss for your country?.

by Alex Williams inthis statement was answered in a form of a question to a question posed by one of his followers;.
jesus realized that composite slave had to qualify for such an appointment when he came into power of his kingdom promised by jehovah god.
[and they came to life and ruled as kings with the christ+ for 1,000 years].

Indeed, they were preaching about The Kingdom during this time period. What were they preaching? That the Kingdom would fully come to power by 1925. Read these books. Learn something. Stop the regurgitation of revisionist and white washed history fed to you by your religious leaders. Research is your friend, not your enemy.

Yes, the cross was a part of early Witness teaching as the cover of this October 1, 1931 Watchtower shows.

Twelve years after being chosen as the so-called 'Faithful and Discreet Slave' they were still using the 'cross' as a Christian symbol. Would you care to tell me why Jehovah and Jesus allowed this if they indeed had the truth? And as a side note, current teaching is that the 'faithful and discreet slave' will be appointed over 'Christ's' belonging's in the future. You are teaching 'old light' in your post. You need to reread the July 2013 Watchtower article entitled: Who Really is The Faithful and Discreet Slave?

More fear-mongering in Nov. 2019 WT
by neat blue dog infirst of all, there's a new imaginary picture of jws during the great tribulation:.
then there's a picture of a jw family refusing to listen to "apostate lies" via pre-programed, self imposed information control:.
the description says:.

"where do they go to the toilet? In a bucket?"- pale.emperor
Why of course! Jehovah and Wal-Mart will provide!
Imagine the stench in the 110 degree attic when some poor slobs have to take a shit into the same bucket one right after the other. I'd rather take my chances in a prison cell. At least I might have a little more privacy and would be able to maintain a modicum of human dignity.
Also, who will be assigned to sneak out to the nearest drug store to fill all the Witness prescriptions for Prozac, Valium, Lithium, Effexor and on and on....And the liquor store runs for the Elders will make Tony's shopping spree look like child's play.

How did Adam and Eve survive when kicked out of the Garden of Eden?
by I believe in overlapping init’s funny how a simple question like this is something that the dubs never even consider.
my dad asked this question to a couple of witnesses and they wondered for a minute and said; .
“i never thought about it, i’ll have to ask the elders”.

Adam: 'Hey Eve, what's for supper?'
Eve: 'Corn on the cob.'
Adam: 'Again? Jesus Christ Eve...we've had corn on the cob for the last 1,914 meals'
Eve: 'If it's good enough for the Aztec's, it's good enough for you.'
Adam: 'I die a little every day eating this crap!'

Actually, I found the movie to be a great homage to the time period. As a watch collector, I always look to see what the main characters in a movie are wearing. I was not disappointed! The Brad Pitt character was wearing a 'Bulls Head' chronograph which would have made him ultra cool at the time. It was no 'Paul Newman' Rolex but still in line with what a Cliff Booth of that time period could afford.
And for you Sharon Tate fans, this was probably her best work:

Thanks for the clarification, peacefulpete. As one who suffers from Gluten Sensitivity ( Not to be confused with Celiac Disease) I find that misinformation on the subject is rampant. Just because fad dieticians and Hollywood influencers have 'picked up the cause' and pontificate on the 'evils' of gluten doesn't mean that gluten containing products are harmful for the average human being. In fact, a person that removes grains from their diet is missing out on nutrients and fiber that helps keep them healthy. People shouldn't assume that just because they have digestive issues that gluten is to blame. The only way to know if you have Celiac Disease or Gluten Sensitivity is to have your doctor perform an antiendomysial antibody blood test and or a biopsy on your small intestine.
