so nice to see thousands upon thousands of fighting-age ukrainian men managed to escape the war and reach wembley to support their national football team yesterday.
things must be improving, eh?.
Serious stuff, of course, this matter of football (and it matters little whichever code of football it happens to be). As a commentator once observed in Port Moresby’s Post Courier newspaper
”There are three things you need to have: a doctor, a lawyer and a football team to support”.
It certainly reveals the tribalism which lurks in us all.
anybody remember hearing this?.

If anyone is interested, this link has some information about the village of Lower Crackpot.

Any thoughts that reading Watchtower and Awake confer on a person the equivalent of a bachelor degree definitely belong in that location!

Believe it or not, but there is actually a place in Tasmania called “Lower Crackpot”.
It even has a branch of Australia Post, with its own official date stamp. Included in the township is a university, which offers “degree” courses in woodchopping, with David Foster being the principal lecturer.

Reading those two rags would qualify a person for a bachelor degree:
- in the form of a Bachelor in Stupidity from Tasmania's University of Lower Crackpot!
this is my first post.
i am a pimo who has been lurking for a while and i hope to make new friends here.. for now, i would just like to highlight that this year marks 200 years since john aquila brown wrote that crazy book(let) of speculations that charles taze russell practically copy/pasted into his "studies in the scriptures" which eventually affected all of our lives in one way or another.. cheers.
chevelle.
I have heard of the name "John Aquila Brown", and also that he was the first to come up with the "Seven Times" equals 2520 years nonsense.
Other than that, he is a complete mystery!
"raised in the truth" during the 50s, 60s,and 70s i repeatedly read and heard from the platform how reading the magazines weekly "was the equivalent of a college education" and how many had turned their family economic situation around by being "trustworthy" and giving up expensive bad habits most "worldly people" had.
sounded good.. what is the reality?
how does avoiding higher education, and then spending up to 20 hours a week getting ready for, commuting, and then participating in meetings and field service affect family finances?.
Joey jojo and road to nowhere,
Nothing like the good old "I've got mine but you cannot have yours" attitude!
“1975” still marks 6000 years from the creation of adam in wt calendar.
according to “all scriptures inspired” book, there is a gap between the creation of adam and the creation of eve and her marriage to adam.
it was at that point in time when eve was created that marked the end of the 6th creative day and the beginning of god’s rest, the 7th day as recorded in genesis.
The whole 6000 years business is based on OT chronology, which its writers (the Jews) would be quick to tell us was never intended to be interpreted literally.
How could one possibly be bent out of shape by a collection of myths intended only to be folklore? Might as well take as literal stories such as “Jack and the Beanstalk”. It would carry as much credibility, that’s for sure.
this has been announced on the jw's official website, in the "jw news" section.
this is not a joke.
anthony moron da turd is out as a gluttonous body member!
Bloody hell!
So much commentary based on precious little in the way of facts.
nicola sturgeon has resigned as snp leader for one reason or another.
nothing to do with her f**king up when she wanted to put a male rapist in a women's prison.
oh dear, how sad, missing you already .... .
Another case of “The camera does not lie”.
first new zealand's dictator resigned and now nicola sturgeon the first minister of scotland has announced her intention to go.. nobody is certain exactly what the trigger was but there are plenty of possibilities.
the final straw may have been her 'gender recognition' act that would have made it possible for anybody 16 and over to legally change their sex on a whim.
the vast majority of scots were opposed but she battered the legislation through holyrood regardless.
And to think, that back in the day, the mantra was firmly believed that "The Camera Does Not Lie"!
