My thoughts being a retired sheriffs deputy in Florida.
He was not in a choke hold.
If you are in a choke hold you can not talk, you can not breathe.
Eric Garner said everytime you see me you want to harrass me at 51 seconds on the video of his being taken down.
He had a record of selling cigarettes illegally.
Once you enter the police/criminal justice system you are a client for life, white or black.
At 106 he ask please leave me alone.
You cannot be a criminal and hang out on the streets in any respectable place and be left alone.
He resisted when the officers tried to hand cuff him.
They have to hand cuff him for his and their own safety.
He could take their guns and shoot them or civilians.
I know of too many cases where the criminals have taken the officers guns and killed them.
This happened a lot in the 90's and before.
Police are more cautious now days and handcuff or in this case attempt to handcuff the suspect
before things go south.
I am saddened and perplexed by so many racist anti white posters here on JWN.
If you don't like living in a free society you can always go live in Africa.
And hang out on the streets.
young earth creationists (like dr. john morris) are taken to task in an article producing the following statistics:.
let's begin with today's population of the earth (estimated) 6,623,924,220. call it 6 billion.. now, let's go back to noah and his family after the flood.
but--let's take the baby steps necessary to get from 8 people to our goal of 6 billion.. why?
It is something to think about.
I don't think people back then only had 2.4 children.
I think they bred like mormans.
The 2.4 or something like that is an average from the flood till today but not an average from
the flood until Davids census.
I have been in the stock market when for 20 years it averaged a 15% return a year.
During Bush's time in office it didnt make anything or something close to nothing.
The big picture average of anything is not like the short term or small picture average.
this is regarding the garden of eden/apple dispute.. if the all knowing, all powerful god sees/knows the future then surely the angels (that he created) should know the god knows the future.. now god knows that humans cannot rule themselves, hence the angels should also know this 'fact'.. why does he need to prove this point to the angels (as is taught by the wt)?.
do the angels doubt the almighty god or do they have a reason not to trust or believe him?.
The watchtower does not know what they are talkng about.
They have proven that over and over.
My take on the garden of Eden dispute.
God is the author of history.
He knows the begining from the end.
We are God having a human, material experience.
We are entertaining ourselves.
Relax and enjoy the ride.
i swear, time is moving so fast.
the only time i know what.
day it is, is by looking at the news paper.
Life is like a roll of toilet paper the nearer you get to the end
the faster it goes.
after years of hard work and study, former bethel boy snare & racket is now officially a medical doctor.. his story is an inspiration that there can be life after the watchtower.
he has given me permission to post his graduation picture.. .
That is excellent and a real inspiration.
witnesses are supposed to be the "most honest people in the world".
most jws i know of do not put business deals in writing.
they simply "trust their brother".
The only time I have gotten screwed is when I allow myself to get screwed.
If I allow it just about anybody would screw me.
Thats human nature.
In my younger JW days. I allowed myself to get screwed by many JW's
They usually screwed with my brain.
Cofty, I just ordered Fisk "Great War for Civilization"
from Amazon. Your description of it being compelling and
then Amazons many favorable reviews inspired me.
It seems like it might take a year to read. 1283 pages.
I have more books than I have liftime left to read.
i really wonder about that.
.
just like they say in prayers, that they "love" the governing body---do they really??
I have been out of the tower since 83.
Jehovah is what I call my higher power, other times I call him Jesus, other times the supreme
power of the universe.
I have learned a long time ago to have an attitude of grattitude.
So I thank my higher power for Good Orderly Direction.
And I love him for it.
both reopened mind and i are now in our early 60's and it seems our conversations lately have been on putting everything up for sale and buying a rv and travel until we can't anymore.
it has been a dream of ours for along time to see all the site's in the u.s. and canada.
we feel we could make money as we go by selling and teaching using herbs and gardening.
I know what you mean about gas GrreatTeacher. My idea would be only 1/2 day to 1 day of driving then set for about 1 to 2 weeks before going to your next stop. Also I am thinking about buying a used RV no more than 10 years old and redoing it inside and out. That way I feel I would have no more than about $25,000 to $30,000 in it. There is no way I could afford a $150,000 RV and then loose half it's vaule as soon as you drive it off the lot. This is the only way it could work for us. Still Totally ADD
That's good driving 1/2 day to a day then stopping for a week or 2.
Where will you stop?
Staying in a park could be expensive 50 or more a day.
Wall mart doesnt allow RV's here in Florida.
I hope you can figure out how to do this. I might follow or copy you.
