  I understand the fear of Trump in the white house. I don't think it will happen! It's sort of a Judas priest feeling... But eve if he won I think the governmental machine will prevent him from acting on his crazy ideas.

  Well, no, I think you're right, looking at how the two Bushes accomplished to get us in wars in the Middle East, I think I'm getting a bit worried at seen Trump in the Whitehouse.

  Imagine if Putin and Trump have a falling out because Putin said something unfair about "The Donald" and it could lead to more than angry rhetoric once Trumpolini gets his short little fingers on U.S. military tech!

  Maybe you could become a second Johnny the Bethelite and call in to Six Screens on a weekly basis to report "rumors" making the rounds in the compound.

  Oh, and I thought they were cutting back on laundry and meal services, was that not true?

  Best of luck, and see if you can do some sabotaging while you're there, you apostate whippersnapper you!

  I think quite a lot of folks "feeling the Bern" are very disappointed with the Dem. Party.

  There's no way I can give my support to Trumpolini or Hillarious, there's just no way.

  It may be throwing away my vote, but going the alternative and voting Libertarian may just be a way to voice my disgust with the primaries' process and their establishmentarian machinations.

  Trolley cart "witnessing" is getting ridiculous

  by oppostate in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i really fail to see how much actual "witnessing" is occurring with the trolley carts.publishers, usually pioneers, just stand or sit there not engaging anyone and count their time.. the only thing i notice that it's accomplishing is brand exposure for jw.0rg so the public is exposed to the logo and literature/poster card headlines.. take for example this "evening" witnessing by a pioneer elder while on summer holiday/vacation.. .

  is this not a wth kinda moment when you consider the years of slaving, knocking on doors, business territory and bible studies we had to keep performing so we weren't branded a "weak" publisher?.

  and they start delivering their message of judgment?

  what do you think will happen when they start knocking on doors and telling people that their families will be killed in armageddon because they did not believed in jehovah.

  i'm curious how people will react.

  Today, my wife is off to the Sunday meeting and an after-spiritual-banquet-get-together for the speaker.

  I'm staying home for this one.

  But, on our home computer's Chrome History I find there's a link to:

  https://www.livingsocial.com/deals/1605452-3-day-storm-survival-kit-for-1-or-2
  
  So while looking at the history on our desktop computer there's this link to this survival kit and I realize my wife is now shopping for a "tribulation survival kit". Hey and this one is on sale, who can resist right?
  

  I'm wondering which one she'll get a one or a two person kit.

  "Who is Morris III?" Showed up in an FB thread--A surprising answer followed.

  He has always been drop-dead poor and so was his whole extended family.

  It doesn't add up as StarTrekAngel said Tony^3 has claimed in public talks that he came from a wealthy family. Either he did or he didn't. Or maybe he's in the habit of telling different things to different folks... Ummm, and that's not so surprising either for one of the 7 G'warves!
