the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.. "they shall not grow old as we who are left grow old.
age shall not weary them or the years condemn.. at the going down of the sun and in the morning we shall remember them..".
The respect that is paid to the fallen at the 11th hour of 11th November in the UK every year is outstanding. The Poppy Appeal raises millions for military charities. We wear our poppies with pride.
Services will be held at memorials in every town in the UK on Sunday. I will be at my local cenotaph.
England and Scotland defied FIFA to wear poppies on their kit this evening.
Millions died so that people like Esse quam videri can enjoy the freedom to be an ignorant, ungrateful buffoon.

thought these were pretty cool!
Brilliant collection of artefacts. Thanks.
Here is a neolithic flint blade I found near my house. In fact it was about 50 yards from where I am sitting now. It's around 5000 - 6000 years old.
I agree though. Human civilisation is surprisingly recent. One minute we are skinning animals with bits of flint and the next we are sequencing our own genome.
harris is at his incisive best in his latest podcast.. he likens the situation to being on an aeroplane where the pilot has died and somebody with no experience of flying has grabbed the controls.
we should all be committed to his success.
prize for the best line goes to - "caligula with a iphone".. even if you love trump and despise harris you should appreciate his clarity.. waking up with sam harris....

so i live in the u.s. i had family that lived in germany when hitler came to power.
i had family that was in london during the blitz.
being raised as a witness i was obsessed with everything having to do with the rise of the nazis.
This is exactly how France and the U.K. got in the situations they are - Coldsteel
Germany and Sweden are in a self-made mess over mass immigration. The UK is not. We were never in the Schengen Zone. Our control of our borders should increase further with Brexit.
please, let's discuss this subject without attacking one another.. it appears that trump has won a victory that no one expected.
is it possible that trump may play a part in the great tribulation?.
there are some who believe trump is one of the most unqualified of men to ever be elected president of the united states.
There is no such thing as "The Great Tribulation".
The apocalyptic ravings of a dead Galilean carpenter is not worth getting excited about. The thing that we should worry about is that Trump and his VP actually believe those delusions.
the reason i ask this is because we heard reports that greenlees was kicked out of bethel because he was one and then we heard reports that another one, jaracz i believe was one all though it sounds kind of iffy to me.. 2 out of i don't how many total gb seems kind of high so i'm thinking that perhaps the percentage is quite higher as this would explain to a degree why the gb have written in clauses to keep the organization from reporting them to authorities.. it is true that part of the reason they remain silent to authorities is because of the reproach it brings to their precious corporation but i think that is only a small part of the reason and perhaps there might be a bigger reason maybe quite a few have been over powered by their darker side and have engaged in this behavior but because of denial and delusion they will not confess and willingly encourage cover ups.. just speculation i know but i'm starting to think that there is a very dark side to all of these guys hidden by their persona(jungian) that is making them stoop so low as to implement these very bad policies..
we heard reports that Greenlees was kicked out of bethel because he was one
Really? I thought the report was that he was moved back to London because he was a sexual predator preying on young men at Bethel. Where did you hear he was a pedo?
i'm sorry--i'm getting this very sensitive vibe that the org (mainly those at the top) don't have any respect--forget about love--for sisters of color.
i'm coming to this conclusion from a couple of videos on jw broadcasting about single sisters.. after watching this video: .

The Watchtower is misogynist but in a paternal way.
The demands and expectations it puts on men are far more oppressive than the way it patronises women. I see no evidence of racism.

If females of colour didn't feature in WT videos would that be racist too?
i'm traveling to edinburgh in october.
i'm from southern california and i was hoping i could meet some on this board that are near that area for lunch or an early dinner.
please pm me if you would like to have a little apostate gathering there?
Mrs C and I had a lovely evening with Azor and 88JM. Great to meet them both and enjoy some nice food at the Stable Bar. Both really interesting people who have given up a lot in exchange for freedom.
Hopefully catch up with Scotsman, HOTB, NSWTG and others in the near future.
i just had to note that a comment for a later deeper thought that i found on a network.. is this a clean forum?
because i seems that there critics and active mixed, what would be very dangerous.. "this study guide will not only help you to explore your beliefs regarding blood transfusions and the use of blood, but also help you to explain your beliefs to others.".
what is that...explore your beliefs ....what is that?
"This study guide will not only help you to explore your beliefs regarding blood transfusions
This will help a JW explore their beliefs regarding blood transfusions. Of course they are prohibited from reading it.
