didn't know silicon valley bank was so important for start-ups....now there's some sort of contagion, people taking their money from regional banks to the big banks.

system seems pretty resilient and different from 2008. thoughts?.
CNN...."UBS agree to buy Credit Suisse for $ 3.25 billions, about 60 % less than the bank was worth when markets close Friday."
I wonder what's gonna happen with the other handful of banks tomorrow Monday. Lucky guess, the government is taking the complete deposits (over $250 k) as insurable.
Kinda weird how fast this situation is evolving.
i used to have a large-ish novel collection but my current collection is scaled-down because i was forced to move back to bolton 4 years ago and didn't have enough room for them all in my suitcases.. i currently own just 9 novels.. salem's lot (stephen king).
three by john ajvide lindqvist:.
let the old dreams die.
Light reading? All the Agatha Christie novels, you know detective novels.
More difficult, like "Brave New World" by Huxley.
If you have the time (is always the time...) "Crime and Punishment" by Dostoevsky...or "Light of August" by Faulkner...

kingdom halls will be the thing of the past.. conventions (mini assembly halls will still be going on) but will charge for attending and parking and always a donation.
elders will play a much smaller role since csa.
cart preaching will replace door to door.
Ohh...just one weekly meeting, as a consequence less KH. A bonus, one month your meeting is gonna be midweek, next Sundays. Preaching is gonna be mandatory as always, but just for campaigns several times a year.
A wild guess, you are gonna be able to celebrate birthdays again, of course being circumspect.
A big no, no for people to being in the WT is the amount of meetings and the celebration of birthdays

i'm sure this has been discussed, but 1914 has to go away.
instead of, the overlapping generation teaching, they should have just ditched 1914. .
they should have done that a long time ago with 1975. it's the last of the teachings in the charles taze russell era.. i'm thinking they just will stop talking about it, and it will be out of the mind of the rank and file loyal witnesses .
Well...GB 3.0 would drop it as soon as they are in charge...nu-lite and everything.
Something on the lines like, well, we couldn't go in front of the scriptures, and besides that Babylon the Great is still in place...so keep that thing, it's fall for like before Armageddon, etc,etc. and carry on please.
Nobody is gonna beat an eye, the Borg in general don't really care for that now. Remember, most of the oldies are gonne now.

When the GB 3.0 is complete.....they are gonna kick 1914 to the curb, like immediately.
“supplies of offensive weapons to the kyiv regime would lead to a global catastrophe,” state duma chairman vyacheslav volodin said.
“if washington and nato supply weapons that would be used for striking peaceful cities and making attempts to seize our territory as they threaten to do, it would trigger a retaliation with more powerful weapons.”.
what is russia implying?
Chancellor Scholz from Germany likely announce today sending Leopard 2 main tanks to Ukraine .... so fate is sealed, fasten your seatbelts...or maybe not

The heavy tanks like the German Leopard 2, it seems are gonna be given to Ukraine....things are escalating day after day.
The thing, if a country from the OTAN is attacked in retaliation by the Russians, the Article 5 is gonna be invoked, guess nobody has stomach for that even the Ruskies.

My Borg friend is frantic !
He says that this, is "political righteousness at the best and the beginning of a slippery slope, now any religion in any country could be found of something and cancelled".
The start of the attack on Babylon the Great, blah blah
