I ride my bike instead of driving a car.
Every time the price of gasoline goes up - I smile bigger.
I took the Stimulus check and bought an electric bicycle.

well, i finally found him on facebook!.
his name is tollie padgett.
he was my congregation overseer (before the "elder" changeover) when i was in prison in seagoville in the late 60's.. i've been searching for him for years and years.
So far within a year I have lost 64 JW friends..........All of the ones that have died told me that they will just be dead for a few minutes and will see me again in the paradise earth. They all told me to prepare a nice home for them.
Man--that is the saddest thing I've read today.
There
is still a lot of these true believers, but they are now in their
80s-90s. I imagine in the next 10-20 years, it won't be 64 jws passing,
-----but it will be millions of the core foundation "Tollie like believers"
--- that will be passing away and firmly believing
that in a few minutes they will come back from the grave, and start a new life, in a new earth, according to his promise, in which righteousness will dwell.
I'm not sure if it's a good thing, or a cruel thing, - to die believing you will be back in a few minutes to a paradise, righteous,earth.
Maybe this is the best thing of being a Jehovah Witness, that in those last minutes of your life, you are thoroughly CONVINCED, that in just a few moments---minutes from an eternal view of time, - in the twinkling of an eye, --- during the last trumpet-----you'll be back in the company of all those you love.
My wife and I both lost our fathers over the blood issue. Hers was only 48 and mine was only studying with the JW's at the time and their untimely deaths occurred shortly before the"blood fractions" change occurred. This change surely would have saved my Father and possibly would have made it possible for my wife's father to receive the Chemo treatment he needed had his blood not been to weak to make it possible.
Wow that's terrible. I'm sorry for your loss.
we just had our co visit a few weeks ago.
apparently, he was encouraging all who could to regular pioneer, to at least try it out for a year.
because of this, we had a few people in our hall become one.. so this weekend we were on zoom service, and the sister that was just appointed was talking about it.
Since I suspect the whole door-to-door record-keeping thing was actually to maintain a “charity”-related paper trail (in case of auditing), and the Org’s tax-exemption is likely approaching it’s end, there probably isn’t much point, anymore.
There's actually not much point in opening the Kingdom halls ever again, or resuming the door to door work, or EVEN CONTINUING THE ENTIRE RELIGION.
Put a fork in 1914-----Your Done!
a couple of threads over on reddit that there is a letter to elders on restarting meetings.
i find this hard to believe and have not seen anything on this from our trusty sources on this site.
can anyone confirm?.
If they are testing the water with Bethelites,
Bethelites are the canaries testing the mines for poisonous gas.

i see that marvel are introducing a gay captain america as dc announce the son of superman is bi-sexual.. whereas i don't give a hoot about a person's use of their genitalia as long as it is consensual and not with kids, i'm finding all this 'inclusivity' becoming a bit boring.. are dc and marvel just virtue signalling in the hopes of selling comics and not being set on fire by the antifa frauds?
?.
because it's not what the audience want and the market is overestimated because all the gay / trans people have over-representation in the media.
I'm REALLY GLAD you brought that out!
To be honest, I wasn't aware. I had the impression that the whole world was turning trans.
There's hope!
quite bizarrely, there are people trying their level best to blur the lines between man and woman, male and female.. so, i thought it a fairly good idea to list the differences, on average, between men and women.. ok, starting with the most obvious .... women have a vulva, a vagina, and internal gonads (ovaries); men have a penis and external gonads (testes).. women get pregnant, give birth and breastfeed their babies; men do none of those things.. men are taller than women.. men have greater upper-body strength than women.
men have greater bone density and percentage of muscle mass than women.. women live longer than men (this is partly due to life choices and behaviour and partly due to genetics).. men have higher testosterone levels than women.. men heal more quickly from physical injury than women.. the sexual dynamics between men and women tend to be different, too.
re sexual selection, women typically have their choice of the most suitable men.
What about these women? Are they stronger than the AVERAGE MAN.
what do you like about biden's build back better agenda & the democrat's build back better act?
is it liberal and progressive enough for you or do you wish it would go further?
https://www.vox.com/22711083/biden-reconciliation-build-back-better-polls-infrastructure has some comments about it.
So we all know California is one shit hole idiot state. Now gov. asshat has banned gas lawn mowers and leaf blowers
I blame the citizens who continue to vote for such idiots.
On a lighter note, did you know that many military forecasters have said that if their was a nuclear war, the first States that the enemy would nuke would be California, New York and Washington!

There is a comic book out, but can't remember the title or what company wrote it. It's about a "Superman" who is transgender, and has finally had it, and goes out and kills all Conservatives and those who refuse to take the vaccine.
It's suppose to be for kids 12 years old and under.
If I find it I will post it.

So this weekend we were on zoom service, and the sister that was just appointed was talking about it. She had told the CO that she would like to try, but there was no way she could even get close to 70 hours a month. She works full time, plus has a family. At most, she could put in 20 - 30 hours a month.
You know what the CO told her?
At this time, there is no hour requirement, so just do the best you can! So she joined.
When she said this, there was a look of horror on this other sister's face.
She has been pioneering for 20+ years, always out in service.
One of those type of PIMI's that actually take the 70 hour requirement seriously.
You could tell how flabbergasted she was - she basically realized the title she held on to for so many years has become a joke.😂😂
Now I'm wondering what is going to happen when the requirement comes back. The GB have a couple of options:
(1) Bring back the 70 hour requirement. Problem with this is all the people who joined for the easy title will simply drop off, making the stats look bad
(2) Bring back the requirement, but maybe lower to 50. You will still have a drop off, but not quite as bad.
(3) Never bring back a requirement. Yay, everyone gets to be regular pioneer now!
