  i was looking at the world health org.

  report and it shows the us ranks 37th in the world (tied with albania) for combined male/female life expectancy.

  the top 5 were japan, switzerland, singapore, israel and spain, all around 83 years.

  It's proven that the less you eat, the longer and healthier your life expectancy will be.

  So if I stop eating entirely, I'll live forever?

  Here's an alternate point of view: what these statistics prove is that there is no (or little) correlation between the amount of money a nation has, and the life span of its citizens.

  The occupants of what we are now calling the Middle East (it used to be called the near East) have been fighting each other for thousands of years. The addition of Islamic holy wars are somewhat newer than that, having started around 600 CE.

  How many American kids should die trying to sort out this mess?

  I find it interesting that a lot of democrats oppose American military involvement in this mess except when its a Republican tryiing to stop it.

  A few comments to answer quesitons in advance:

  I did not vote for Donald Trump and I won't vote to re-elect him.

  I think we should build a fence around that part of the world, and tell everybody inside it that they're free to settle their differences any way they want. Then we'll try the survivors as war criminals.

  False oath in Russia

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower

  i'll be the first to say that the russian government is pretty terrible and overreaching in its', power but that's not what this is about.

  in a recent hearing, a witness for the jws said this under oath:.

  one thing makes jehovah’s witnesses unique: they do not rely on strict rules or the authority of any particular leader, instead, they try to help adherents develop a bible-trained conscience so that each individual can personally and voluntarily make decisions guided by the bible.. i'm sorry but that is just not true.

  The trouble is the average JW probably actually believes that bullshit. The WTBS has their thought processes so twisted up they can no longer tell what's real and what isn't.

  Do you know how big the sun is? How little Mercury is? This event happens about 14 times a century, always in either May or November. Did you see the last one? (May 2016 - and no, I don't think anybody else noticed either). The one before that was in November 2006.

  i saw this sign (i'm sure the bride must have bought it) at a wedding rehearsal dinner yesterday.. yes, the smiling bride was there ordering her soon to be groom around as they were setting up their party decorations.

  i'm sure today october 5th will would be the happiest day of their young lives.. have you ever noticed that many movies end at the wedding ceremony?

  because for the vast majority of marriages that is the best it ever gets!

  My wife and I were married forty-five years ago tommorrow. It's been mostly good, sometimes not. I wouldn't change it, even the dumb KH wedding when we had no idea what we were getting into.

  There will be new light: "Armageddon is really, really, really, really, really, really, really soon."

  This is new light because last year it was "really, really, really, really, really, really soon."
