i am still unpacking my belongings.
because of the local housing, i had to downsize a lot.
I spent some time today reading your ealier posts in an effort to get to know and understand you a bit better.
I'm happy for you to be back "home" in The Big Apple, and I envy your access to the rich cultural attractions, real pizza, knishes, falafffel and Sabrette's street dogs.
(I'm a native NuYawka too.)
Best wishes to you.

I think it was an old Jesuit Priest, Dean-o Martin-o, in 1467.
the best conjecture seems to be that the gb are going to drop the literal 144,000 teaching, especially in view of the december watchtower that pointedly does not mention the 144,000 number.

The stars of Yuggoth and Alcyone must be in alignment, for I find myself nodding approvingly at SlimBoyFat's analysis above.
When will this God-damned AGM finally be in the past so that speculation can be replaced by mockery?
