I doubt its anything more than many were already getting old. One had told me they had many issues with health in a PM. You don't get a lot of info from 20 somethings.

ExJws Should Know Better Than To Just Accept Things And Follow The Leader
by minimus ini would think that exjws would exercise more critical thinking than not.
now we are thrust in this “ world” and take sides on social issues and politics.. just because our government leaders say something it doesn’t mean it’s right.
just because the majority of the news media tells us how we should think, it doesn’t mean we have to follow.

Leftists don't thank and you are criticized if you think. Lets take the before the protest. You must stay inside and isolate. You must not even have a funeral. bla bla bla. The protests and now march its fine no worry's here. Then Trump wants a rally and suddenly its How dare he he is killing millions. LOL They don't even know how utterly stupid they are.

“White Privilege”
by minimus inlately that’s all i’ve been hearing about!
i’m sick and tired of listening to white people begging for forgiveness simply because they are white.
in a nearby town, a six year old girl asked her mom, “ why don’t we have a black lives matter march here?

The left has become the Taliban. Blowing up things they don't like or agree with. Just as these little assholes did in Afghanistan blowing up thousand year old Buddha's. What is next, lets blow up the Pyramids on the Giza Plateau. I mean the Egyptians had slaves. Lets blow up the Colosseum and the statures in Rome to the Czar's Lets destroy history because it will make some snowflake leftits idiots feel good until they can not afford the next new video game and want to loot some more. Destruction of private property, and public property is a crime. The left has a Taliban mentality. They are taught stupid by leftist professors who have been let go as mouthy nuts and can not really do any harm. Well its like a cigarette. One may not really do much harm but smoking over time will kill you. So people send their idiot kids who have never seen a hard days work in their life to these places so they can be brain washed into mind numb zombies that will riot and loot and destroy and feel they are entitled.

Aren`t These Two Scriptures At Odds With Each Other ?
by smiddy3 inromans 13 ,1-7 contrast with 2 cor.4 : 3-6 ,on the one hand the faithful are to be obedient to the superior authorities ,worldly government ,law enforcement ,etc, as its gods arrangement and to go against it is to go against god ?.
then 2 cor .4 : 3-6 states that the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one satan the devil and if you are obedient to that you are supporting satan`s system of things and going against gods arrangement ?.
what sort of mental gymnastics do you need to acquire to accept both of these scriptures and keep your sanity ?.

The bible is full of contradictions. Something one would expect from a book or books written by humans but not by god.

What Fun Things Have You Been Doing While In Lock-Down?
by Simon inso we've all been locked down and there's only so much netflix / prime / disney / hbo you can watch and computer games you can play.

when you're completely stuck inside and working from home it can get a bit boring staring at the same walls all day and then in the evening as well.

Yes They are part of my civil war collection. The brass receiver on the left is a Uberti Henry in 45LC, The other is a Sharps Carbine 1863 NM original. The revolver on the right is a Uberti LeMatt Army. That is a 9 shot revolver with a 20 ga under the barrel. If you don't know about it look it up its a great gun. The Ubertis are replicas that work and fire live rounds. The other revolver on the left is a 1849 Colt Pocket. I had to do a repair on that one the hand spring was bad. I don't even think of firing the originals. Unlike the BS in Pawn stars that does not make it worth more but less. They only do it for effect on the show. I also never fired the LeMatt. They are getting hard to find even the replica remakes. Above and one is only partial visible are two 1860 Light Cav sabers dated 1863 and 1864 one is by Mansfield and Lamb, the other is Ames which I believe still make swords for the military today. The LeMatt was used by the Confederacy and most were owned by officers in the Calvary because of the 9 shots and 20 gauge gave a trooper and advantage over a colt or Remington 6 shot. . I have bought and sold Antique weapons on a small scale for years. I also have an 1858 Rem New Model and Colt 1860 Army in the safe. The picture on the right is my Great Grandfather who was in dress at the Buffalo Bill Circus Sells Floto Circa 1913. He was in the Devlin Zouave's unit that did trick shots, scaled 20 men over an 18 foot wall in a min. Ect. The powder horn and snuff horn on the wall on the left were his, the clock was also his. Thanks

I did take one in to have repaired. It was an inheritance and I paid a bit but its been in the family since the turn of the century. Its made in 1895 Ingraham Thorn 8 day clock with hour and half hour chimes. The guy I took it to works only on these type of old wind up clocks. He had to weld on a new hinge and put in some new bushings and clean it up. Works great and when I want to hear the ticking and chimes I will let it run for a week.

Thanks. I love repairing vintage things. I love old Telechron clocks. I buy them because they are almost indestructible and they seize up due the oil getting thick over the years. I can remove the motor put in solvent and it works. a lick of paint and I have a vintage kitchen or wall clock. No Simon I have never seen that show but will look it up sounds interesting. I don't live too far from Wichita and will go there in the AM to pick up a vintage Robbins and Myers desk fan. The Vornado is still made and sold by Walmart But this one is late 50s early 60s. They go for around 200 refurbished. I got a great deal. A flea market had it and he said it worked. We plugged it in and sparks flew. I knew it was just the wiring had the insulation crumble off. and picked it up for 20 bucks. I just did a quick fix to this 1930s Telechron clock made of bakalite. The telechron motor runs by induction so no parts go into it but for one stem with a gear. If you heat up the motor and then the expanding air pushes out and thins the oil you can slowly apply WD40 and the solvents will thin the oil and it will run.
