  The prince cut a dashing figure in younger days and was most likely considered "divine" amongst his fervent admirers.

  South Pacific Cargo cult! -- Half banana

  I've read about the islanders and their mock-ups of WWII aircraft, those in hopes of receiving more bounteous rains of goods from "Heaven."

  If it suits to elaborate, more like comparisons would be welcomed. Your commentary is enjoyable reading.

  Thanks.

  You might have "won" on the basis of family merit if, as you surmised, you have true believers in your immediate family.

  Summer Warming is a Hoax

  2. humour

  i've heard many folks on this forum talk about summer warming as though it's a fact.

  but this is totally fake and made up.

  anyone whose done any research knows it does not get any warmer in the summer than it does the winter.

  You're funny, Coded Logic. I saw through your serious mien. We're both children of the fog, as you may have read in my post.

  Stay cool.

  George Gangas, I believe, had been a short-order cook. Back then there were some dozen-plus members of the GB.

  He did, after all, speak Greek, a real boon to the work. I remember him as being very warm and friendly.

  When I was at Bethel, I got anointed.

  I talked to Fred Franz about the seriousness of my new standing with Jesus and Jehovah and changed my mind. Many young Bethel brothers became anointed. Some remained anointed, most didn't.

  Years later, I gave the Memorial talk in my KH, and my mother partook and continued as an anointed till she died.

  In her case, she was certain; in mine, not so much so.

  God works in mysterious ways . . .

  Coded Logic:

  I have nothing of a scientific nature to add; however, having grown up somewhat north of you, I do recall how peeved I was with the cool, foggy summers. Back then, we had a three-month summer vacation, returning to school after Labor Day. Apart from the occasional hot day here and there, most summer days were cool, with fog lifting around 10:00 a.m. and returning about 4:00 p.m.

  After Labor Day and back to school, it was warm and wonderful. But I was back in school and not on the beach!

  Greetings, Diogenesister:

  I'm doing very well, thanks, and I hope you are, too!

  Yes, I have The Good Earth, 1931 edition, the very copy I grew up with -- Mom's copy.
