  those are the words of a prominent russian tv broadcaster.. president putin recently appointed kiselyov as head of russia's newly restructured state-owned news agency rossiya segodnya (russia today), which was set up by an unexpected presidential decree to replace the longstanding ria novosti and voice of russia media outlets in december.. .

  do you think the watchtower writers are doing some recalculations?.

  will they switch the identity of babylon the great from a religious entity to the usa.. "rev.

  How often do you see the Witnesses out on the ministry?

  i only ask because i hardly ever see them out on the ministry.

  it is a very rare sighting to spot them actively engaged in the house to house ministry.

  or out on the street work, in the marketplace, etc.. the other reason i ask is because they are constantly pictured as being on the preaching work.

  Check your local Donut shops around 10:00 A.M. They meet for field service at 9:30 A.M., drop a couple mags at the laundry mat to start their time. Then it's off to the Donut shop for Coffee and Donuts till noon.

  Do you sense "a sense of urgency" in the congregations?

  now that we're in the 21st century, and all those pre-millenium worries that a few had about armaggedon seem to have gone, everyone seems to be getting on with their lives, buying homes, going on cruises and planning for their retirement.. not everyone does these things, but there is so little talk about the great tribulation, armaggedon and the new system, you can't help but wonder if they are just going through the motions.. i see young people at the hall - they couldn't care less about spiritual things, although they may comment and go out in service.. i see people in the 30s quietly getting on with life - a few are building their own homes from scratch, others are planning on moving and some have bought new cars.. nothing wrong with this, but each of these things show an investment in the future.

  a car has to be paid for (if its a lease), a home needs a 15/25/30 year mortgage and this all takes time.. time with a capital "t".. let's face it - the urgency is gone.

  no one thinks about the "time of the end" and everyone does their own thing.. families are still having children.. one of my college professors once asked me: "how do you know that people have confidence in the future?".

  So many dreams, so many hopes of a new world had I. Now most everyone I know who was a Witness is dying or has passed on.

  Will there be a new world? Maybe. Will it be in my lifetime? Probably not, I don't know. If it comes, it comes. If not, then it didn't, nothing can be done about it.

  Make good the time you have, because 70 or 80 years goes by much faster than you think....

  Guy at the Watchtower sounds sooooo inviting; "May I help you" and "How are you doing....? .......Fine"

  To think I worked my butt off helping this "could care less" organization for my whole life. Don't kid yourslef, there's no love there, just a corporation.

  she looks so stiff and old next to taylor swift.

  geriatric singer/songwriter.

  nice to see them sing the song together, though.

  Marvin Shilmer ~ "More than anything else, it’s self indulged parents responsible for lack of moral compass in society."

  That's my point! We have as a society removed ourselves so far from God that we have lost our moral compass.

  Exodus 7:13

  "Yet Pharaoh’s heart became hard and he wouldnotlisten to them, just as the Lord had said."

  Lisabobisa ~ "WOW. If you are a christian you get to push people around? You have some special power or right over other Americans? You get to "excert pressure" while others cannot?

  You are NOT more special or more American or have more rights in this country because of your religion. You DO NOT have the right to "excert your pressure" on others in tax-payer funded public schools that are for EVERYONE, not just YOU."

  How do you think the Boy Scouts feel right about now because of gay rights? As a private entity, they're probably going to fold, because Christian based groups (Boy Scouts adhere to Christian based values...well they did until a certain group exerted political pressure on them) want nothing to do with the gay agenda. Thanks to the gay rights agenda, many young men will suffer from this injustice.

  I'm using my freedom of speech here, I think Christian Americans are just about fed up with all the shenanigans, and this young man's recital of the Lord's Prayer in a public school was his way of saying "screw you" to all of the political correctness. It's out of control, and it's taking our country out of control, just look around you. America is not better off for it, it's worse off and I think that the youth are taking notice.

  I applaud him for his speech, and hope there are more to come. Perhaps we are reaching a crescendo in our society where young people are realizing that God does have a place in our lives (public and/or private). Bring back the crosses, Ten Commandments, etc.. to our public places. They instill the virtues of a healthy society and remind us that WE are not God's, and that we can not live independent of God.

  DOC ~ You want to go up against that 73%?

  Didn't think so...it's a Christian country. Case closed.
