father's last words.
in 1972, i was 25 years old following a strong impulse carrying me 1,500 miles.. i intended to find him - my dad.
he’d left when i was about half a year old.. his home in detroit, michigan had been the first house i lived in at age zero.. i knocked on his door and he answered.
We know what we are, but know not what we may be.
It sounds like your dad was incapable of being the man he wanted to be. What he failed to realize back then is running away from your problems doesn't solve anything as you can never run away from yourself. Being incompatible with your mother was a symptom of a larger issue is my guess.

If Lloyd is done doing videos in his bunker basement, I would love to see him return to the kitchen where he filmed that brilliant livestream confession.

He has lost at least half his income and all this would come out of his pocket for at best minimal benefit to his channel and fortunes.
Interesting that you say this. Another YouTube channel I follow said yesterday that due to the global recession that is now underway the YouTube ad revenue is about half of what it was. The loss of 40% of his patrons, half the ad revenue, flat book sales and merchandise, Lloyd's income isn't nearly what it was last year.
“who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?” — math 24:45. according to jw, the faithful and discreet slave are the “anointed” men of the “governing body” of the jehovah’s witnesses religion..
In the Bible, God is not the author of slavery. Slavery originated with humans. He worked along with it and tolerated it as with human suffering until he takes action in the future —as the Bible explains.
Exodus 21:20-21 “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property."
You are telling me God did not author this? Who did? And which parts of the bible are authored by God and which parts are authored by man?
“who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?” — math 24:45. according to jw, the faithful and discreet slave are the “anointed” men of the “governing body” of the jehovah’s witnesses religion..
True, many things in the Bible agree with our senses but when your senses or beliefs or standards conflict the Bible, too bad, the Bible is still the standard for Christians.
So you are telling me that there is nothing wrong with slavery. Got it. Wow.

Bible trumps your opinion. —As it relates to the Bible.
So you are saying because it is in the bible, slavery is good? Are you available for purchase? Can I then beat you mercilessly as long as you get up in two days?
Exodus 21:20-21 “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property."

Comparing anything to a slave as being a good thing is anything but a blessing. Which begs the question, why didn't Jesus say anything about slavery being a bad thing? Or did he say something but his disciples didn't bother to record it? Either way the bible (the so-called "word of god") endorses slavery.

Slavery is an awful thing. For a bunch of fools in New York to pretend they are some sort of "Faithful and Discreet Slave" is a very sick term to use. If you are using a book that endorses a detestable thing like slavery in any form as some sort of moral guideline, then there is something wrong with you. This goes for both literal slavery and metaphorical slaves like those in New York.
According to Wikipedia:
As of 2018, the countries with the most slaves were: India (8 million), China (3.86 million), Pakistan (3.19 million), North Korea (2.64 million), Nigeria (1.39 million), Indonesia (1.22 million), Democratic Republic of the Congo (1 million), Russia (794,000) and the Philippines (784,000).

Geehovah Dollars, maybe Watchtower can develop its own crypto. Remember when they had the meal tickets at conventions? You had to exchange money for these tickets which were then used to purchase sandwiches and drinks.
i thought it was just me that had a negative view of people who proclaim themselves to be activists.. but no, it seems i'm not alone!.
.
To me an activist is simply a rebranded word for troublemaker. This goes double for climate activist.
