my g'daughter and her hubby are stationed in okinawa.. i talked with her a few hours earlier today, and she stated they're preparing for the worst.. young people are remarkably resilient, aren't they?.
sylvia.
Prevailing winds and the jet stream flow west to east. Fallout from nuclear weapons will used in Korea will drift across Japan and eventually reach the US (although widely dispersed by that time).
I don't think the North Koreans need nukes. They can flatten Seoul in an afternoon with conventional weapons. What happens after they do that is anybody's guess. The Chinese, Japanese and Russians will all have reason to take action.
you make a topic with the entire title and post in capitals !!!.
what you think happens: lots of people will read your many important words of much importance.
what actually happens: the forum admin deletes it.. tip: don't post in all caps, it looks spammy and spammy gets deleted..
What about posting in all Italics?
pesident trump authorized the missile strike because “it is in the vital, national security interest of the united states to prevent and deter the use of deadly chemical weapons.” .
59 tomahawk missiles were launched from two us navy ships.. russia has condemned the action.. https://youtu.be/4svp3yfneyq.

I wonder if people will stop wondering if Trump and Putin are buddy buddy now lol
That will go down the memory hole and it will be "Trump is a war monger."
This war is principally about Assad doing what tinpot dictators do, keeping himself in power. I don't believe there is any oil in Syria, somebody may want to run a pipeline across it, but as long as this fighting is going on that will be almost impossible to maintain.
I don't know what we expect to do, as near as I can tell, there are no good guys in Syria.
i found this the other day, and read it last night.
i think it explains a lot of what is going on in both american politics and many religions around the world.

please excuse me for long-winded ranting.
i know, as do most of us here that "love" is not something that the jdub's are known for except in their deluded, feeble minds.. i can handle their hypocrisy when it is directed at me, but when it is aimed at family who for decades have genuinely been the type of jw that the watchtower presents to the public, and when it is motivated by pure hate, then i get pissed!.
my mother was dunked in the 1940's and my father in the 1950's.
Check with your lawyer. If your Dad is of sound mind, and you don't exert any undo pressure he should be able to give everything to you, unless you have siblings. A new will would render any previous will moot. I hate the idea that the Witnesses can treat somebody like garbage and then expect to collect their estate.
What state are you in. My family's estate planner may know somebody that could help. He knows people all over the place. PM me if you want help.

A sad story. After my Dad died Mom slipped into dementia (neither were every JW's).
It is really hard to watch smart loving people slip away like that. I am very fortunate that I was able to be there for both of them.
Words fail me when it comes to the attitude of witnesses toward things like this. The lack of compassion speaks volumes about what their religion does to people.
Any chance you can talk him into giving the 30% to a real charity and not the WTBS?
just wonderin'.
I was an accountant in investment real estate, including development for many years. I would estimate $300-500 million. Personally, I doubt they saved all that much on labor. Using volunteers for stuff like this is notoriously inefficient. If you take the total cost of running a building (repairs, remodels, utilities etc) for the life of the building, construction costs are a small fraction of the total. Having to go back and do slip shod work over again is going to cost them in the future.
i just 'liked' the same post 6 times in a row.. what a joke simon.
sort it out!.
Hey Simon how about a "I have no life" button that people can punch as often as they feel the need to?
by now it seems obvious that the gb and other leaders of the wtbs are corrupt.
the pedo scandal and various financial schemes are sustained by either lack of concern or greed at the top.
my question is how far down the food chain does this go?

My question is how far down the food chain does this go? Are local elders just as complicit in what's going on, or have they been duped into accepting the Society's whitewash of events? I've been out for so long I have no idea what is happening at the local level.
obviously, trump doesn't.
but do you?
do you think that they are generally fair, unbiased and honest?.
NO
