  Had to laugh.

  i had to laugh.. i bumped into a friend who has started going back to the meetings and who has that enthusiastic arm-waving way of talking about the stuff they're hearing from the platform.. in part he's wittering on about some talk they'd had about king david and all of his ups and downs.

  and says, "and as the speaker emphasized over and over again, we can imitate david because he was a man just like ourselves.".

  " i finally interrupted.. that shut him up.

  Vin Where is Mark O'Donnell active these days? He is really brilliant on legal commentary, and had himself been a victim.

  Yes he's excellent at written legal commentary but I don't believe he was a victim himself.

  (all up in my) DMs Look at that absolute path of destruction created by one miserable fat a$$....

  Couldn't agree more. It's so infuriating, frankly.

  exjw and artist (sponge bob) vince deporter has passed away at 63.. vince was an intense yet sweet guy.

  we didn’t always agree but he’d always swing by later and either smooth things out or just move on.

  he held no grudges.. he’ll be missed...

  Will Ukraine win?

  by Fisherman in

  i was under the impression that it was going to be a short war, that russia’s military would indeed subdue ukraine’s forces quickly but that is not happening.

  seems that russia’s military power is much less than it’s reputed to be.

  no guess how it will all end..

  Bet all they have to show for their time on earth is a cellar full of shitty dried food and 100,000 rounds of moldy ammo spilling out of every closet.

  On the bright side, no JW has managed to make it to his doorstep alive in the past eleven years.

  Betty, TonusOHYou're both a gas😂😂🙌😭😭

  Vince was a sweetheart. As talented and successful as he was, he would encourage me with sketch work. Humble and warm.

  Too young to go, too. Anyone know how? Very tragic.

  One little factoid I discovered yesterday that really surprised me is that Russia's economy is at the same level as Australia's. I assumed it was an economic power house with its natural resources, land mass and population.

  ....but not for jw's!.

  w70 4/15 p. 250 -"in 1870 charles taze russell...was not satisfied with the sectarian [jw's are sectarian] explanations of the bible given him, so he started a bible-study class with several of his friends....".

  km 9/07 p. 3 question box - "does “the faithful and discreet slave” endorse independent groups of witnesses who meet together to engage in scriptural research or debate?

  My Prediction Regarding New Space Telescope That Will See Back to 100 Million Years From the Big Bang

  by Sea Breeze in

  2. beliefs

  a new space telescope launched a few days age that will supposedly be able to see to within 100 million years of the big bang.

  wow... only 100 million years from the big bang.

  that is pretty early given the 12 billion year age of the universe assigned by scholars who adhere to naturalism.

  Nonny This is exactly why I absolutely hate media sensationalism of scientific discoveries. I understand it, I worked in academia and we had a dedicated full time media person just to hype the latest discovery for the next funding round.

  I would imagine this is the case. The data will be unintelligible to most people so they put it into simple to understand terms, which can end up kind of being incorrect.
