job 26:7 he stretches out the northern sky over empty space, well should it be the southern that has empty space under it?.
the north pole has the earth under it?.
the south pole has empty space under it?.
The empty space in the north is not the North Pole. They didn’t know that existed, nobody or very few in that area would have traveled beyond what is today the mountainous Balkan countries and Alps.
So yes, it is an empty space in the North, only once the Romans crossed those did you start hitting the Germanic and Eastern European tribes, then people started to understand there was a bit more space, but at the time of Job, the earth ended near European mountains.
how things have changed, apparently they totally forgot i am an "evil apostate" two good looking ladies came to my door, my wife opened the door.. handed my wife the tract and said they are simply inviting people in the area, nothing further, not even a bible or other literature in their hand.. the invitation is small, like the size that a small 3-fold tract used to be.
i remember the last invitation was at least a proper sheet of paper.
and thin, you can see right through it.
I like the topic though: "Exercise Patience" (aka "wait") - and the program basically is: wait, wait a very long time, what we can learn about waiting, wait longer than these people in the Bible waited.
This is so on the nose, they absolutely know that the majority of JWs is disillusioned, plenty of people STILL ALIVE since 1914, waited till 75, then waited till 2000 then waited for every major disaster (twin towers, several major wars, two major pandemics and even Trump's 4 years of "peace and security" followed by all sorts of re-emerging wars, food shortages and global issues), hell, most of us have been waiting since they "lost track" of the King of the South only for it to re-emerge last year and JWs are still waiting for every event in the world to bring about the end.
certain forces appear to be trying to make sure donald trump never runs for president again.
some republicans are clearly abandoning trump and of course the democratic press has been saying trump is done!
is trump’s goose cooked?
@Fisherman: what insurrection and what loss of lives? 1 person died at the hands of an overeager police man.
We have video of the event now, Tucker Carlson lost his job over exposing the truth. The media lied when they said multiple people died.
People were being led around as if it was a tour, they were queuing at the gates and being let in by security. It was, to take a term CNN likes to use, mostly peaceful. We now also know that those that participated in the violence and riled people up to do (minor) damage, were FBI or CIA agents, we have pictures and videos of people that were standing around, directing the action and were mysteriously never pursued by the DOJ, people that appeared and suddenly disappeared from “wanted” lists.
Even so, it had nothing to do with Trump, hence why the lawsuits will fail, there is no evidence Trump told them to go in or coordinated with anyone to organize it.

I’m not sure the DNC is capable of putting anybody else out there. Polls have shown that the biggest candidate after Biden is Robert Kennedy. They could put up Joe Manchin, but he is likely going on a third party ticket. I don’t see another Obama being successful, same problem that another Clinton had, they were so polarizing (activist First Ladies) and their husbands were so bad while in office even their own base won’t come out for them.
Biden is embroiled in corruption problems worse than Watergate, remember nobody cared about Watergate until suddenly everyone cared. Right now, nobody in the mainstream has picked up on the Biden revelations of the last 2 weeks.
The facts are that currently Trump polls higher than Biden in a general election but based on the approval numbers, it is very possible that a third party picks up enough steam on both sides and runs away with the thing as well.
Best thing that can happen for Trump is more indictments that will spectacularly fail, he keeps his name in the news and he gets vindicated. I think it is unlikely the DOJ is going to drag these cases along in Biden’s favor, too many people from judges to prosecutors that want their name associated with a conviction which most legal experts say won’t succeed or the ones in areas that have Democrat juries will get overturned in appeal. And that is Biden’s primary problem, nobody in his political circles cares about Biden.
Best thing that can happen to Biden is that nobody talks about Biden and Hunter goes to jail, once the primaries are over he won’t be able to hide anymore.

Didn't bother reading it, but we apparently only got invited to the weekend program, which is no longer in a big rented space (we used to have a 12,000 seat stadium that was at least 1/3 full).
It's now in the relatively small circuit assembly hall, which was so small, it could only seat about 2000 people, about 10-12 years ago they had to schedule 2 weekends just to fit the entire circuit. And the poor schlubs that have to drive 4 hours to go to a 'circuit sized' convention, the throngs of people going from and to hotels and parking lots, everyone 16-26 hunting for some available dating partner from a distant hall, all this 'excitement' seems to be gone now.

The charges are only there to distract from the continuous revelations from the Biden crime family. Every time there is a big revelation about direct corruption payments to Biden which is now his business partners testifying against Joe, the Biden DOJ scoops on another (weak) charge.
The question is whether the state can prove its case. So far all the evidence presented is very circumstantial if not outright legal practice. Remember, every President has private documents, Obama still has open disputes about classification for documents in his personal possession.
That being said, you will have an impeached President embroiled in legal hot water over corruption issues running against an ex-President embroiled in legal hot water over regulatory issues. Get your pop corn.

It always surprises me that people are still surprised that freedom of religion and speech is not guaranteed in the EU because they never had a durable libertarian revolution before ‘uniting the states’.
yeah, so i know nigel farage is a bit of an abrasive twat.. he no doubt holds views that other people disagree with.. but that doesn't mean his bank can just tell him to sod off and freeze his accounts.. such a thing might go on in commie china or authoritarian russia.
no doubt hitler closed lots of jewish people's accounts in nazi germany, too.. but the fact that it is happening here, in the yew-kay, is pretty chilling when you consider this country is supposed to champion freedoms, including the one to hold and express varying political views.. this seems to be part of a trend to delegitimise and cancel people who hold certain views.. i remember looking at a yt video of richard dawkins questioning muslim journalist mehdi hassan about his belief in flying horses and muhammad.
all fair analysis and criticism by dawkins until he suggested that hassan shouldn't be a journalist because of his beliefs.
I don’t have a problem with private banks doing whatever they want, however, when government pressure is born, they are no longer private but agents of the people (in the US) or the crown (in the UK) and must comply with those rules and regulations.
Due to the monarchy in the UK however I don’t see any legal or other recourse other than a revolution as the King or Prime Minister can just snap his fingers, suspend parliament and everything in the UK reverts to the political whims of the crown.
wife in.
bro high opinion of self stopped.
he is part of hlc, but was alone.
How did he know you’re there?
jacob had 13 children (am i wrong?
): 12 boys and 1 girl.. if you flip a coin 13 times, the probability to have 12 heads is about 0.002!.
.
I think you are wrong, but even if you aren’t, gender of a child isn’t a coin flip, some males only give off one type of chromosome, which makes it entirely possible the only female was not his.
“All of his [Jacob’s] sons and daughters got up to comfort him . . .” (Genesis 37:35).
“His [Jacob’s] sons and grandsons, his daughters and his granddaughters—all of his descendants he brought with him to Egypt” (Genesis 46:7)
The verses both give multiples for both sons and daughters; they weren’t named though and given this is a mythical person unlikely we will ever find out any contemporary documents detailing anything.
