i have always said that if a god showed itself i would follow the evidence and renounce my atheism.
i have now seen enough to start believing again, i am so happy, i feel a inner contentment, when he connected with me i really knew it was him.
if you are not a believer you will not understand this, but trust me, look at the evidence, open your heart to him, let him in and your life will change for the better.

just out of curiosity, if you are in the united states, did any one of you attend a 4th of july parade today, where you live?
i attended the huntington beach fourth of july parade.
i've been attending that parade since about 1993. it's always fun to photograph the different celebrities who are in the parade.
Perhaps I should clarify...HUntington Beach is in Orange County, Southern California. Just in case you don't know---or even care, where it is located! Bye!

Just out of curiosity, if you are in the United States, did any one of you attend a 4th of July parade today, where you live? I did. I attended the Huntington Beach Fourth of July Parade. I've been attending that parade since about 1993. It's always fun to photograph the different celebrities who are in the parade. I've done that many times over the years that I have attended the parade. And, no, I've never waved the U.S. flag around when I've been at the parade. My interest is only to photograph any and all well-known celebrities who have been in the parade. (And local political personalities, if they are in the parade, too) So, did any of you U.S. residents get to a local 4th of July parade, where you live? Just wondering. Best Regards.

there are literally about thirty young single very good looking sisters in this one kingdom hall under the age of 30. that is just one kingdom hall.
in the circuit there are literally hundreds of young beautiful jw girls under 30 who are single and anxious to get married.
about two years ago, this one single good looking brother who is about 30 years old and who is an elder married this plain looking sister who is 59 years old.
If I might add my "two cents" here. If that's who he is attracted to, emotionally, physically, etc. then that's who he is attracted to. If his orientation is to an older female, then that's what his orientation is. Who are we to judge? Best Regards, everyone.

greetings, folks: so, it's been 40 years since 1975. and, if you were actively involved with the witnesses back then, the mindset of many was, that by early autumn of 1975, it would mark the anniversary of 6000 years of human existence.
and, the hope was then, that it would mark the start of the 1000-year of christ, from the heavenly realm.
but, looking back now, 40 years ago, in june of 1975, only 3 more months remained until early autumn.
Thank you very much, wheelwithinwheel, for your contribution to the thread. That video was interesting. Best Regards.

Hello again, Folks: Splash brings up an interesting point. You know, when you stop to think about it, that rounded number---7000---where did that come from? It makes me wonder, Did Yahweh actually keep track of how many times that our planet, Earth, made its orbit around the sun? In other words, he was "watching" it, observing it, and once it had made EXACTLY 7,000 orbits around the sun, well, that was time to start another new "creative day". A different "creative day" could not and would not start until the Earth had made its orbit EXACTLY 7,000 times. 7,000 times, not 7002 times, not 6995 times, but precisely 7000 times. But, as someone has pointed out earlier, the WTS has now been saying that each creative time period could have lasted for eons of time, epochs of time. Oh well. Thanks for the responses so far, everyone. Best Regards.

Wow! A lot of you good folks have some priceless "gems"---some priceless "nuggets" from yesteryear, that you have been able to contribute to the thread. And, I, the OP, thank you for your contributions. You will NOT be forgotten in my will! How it is that I won't forget you, I don't know. But, thanks..l

And, "Peace Out" right back at ya, Mr. Flipper! I told you some time ago, that I've been using that phrase, when I conclude a conversation with a fellow Ham operator and clear the frequency. Most fellow Hams like it! But, yeah, that is so true, live in the present moment. Best Regards,

Thanks for the replies so far, everyone. And, yes, snugglebunny, that movie, Jaws, WAS scaring everyone half to death! Another thing that I thought of is the idea that supposedly, whenever the nations collectively were saying "peace and security", that was supposed to somehow, "trigger" the end. But, yeah, the resignation of Richard Nixon was supposed to have SOME significance. The end of the Vietnam War was supposed to have SOME significance. With events such as that happening, the "end" was imminent! Myself, personally, although I never divulged my thoughts to anyone is, Well, maybe 1975 will bring the end, maybe it won't, who really knows? Of course, one must remember that there was the thought that the first 6,000-year "creative day" didn't end UNTIL the supposed "first woman" was brought into existence. Whenever THAT happened, would bring the 6th creative day to its end. And, the thought was that was that it was only a year, maybe 2 years. So, 1977 or 1978 would be the end of the 6th day. Well, let's see now, its been about 40 years since then. So, Adam was alone in the so-called "Garden" for over 40 years??? Really? Hmmmm. It was probably a good thing for him. If he had only known, during that 40 years, what that woman would do...(sigh)...

But, looking back now, 40 years ago, in June of 1975, only 3 more months remained until early Autumn. That would have been September, or October of that year. So, looking back in retrospect, do you remember anything---ANYTHING at all---that was happening on the world scene, that you would have thought, "Yeah, this is it, the Great Tribulation will soon be here, and the start of Armageddon"? Can you recall anything at all that would have caused you to think that? I can't. I can't recall anything of great significance that would have caused me to think along those lines. How about you? Let me know. Best regards, everyone!
