albert einstein said "i like to think the moon is there even if i'm not looking at it".. i'm thinking the double slit experiments could have been a major factor in his attitude towards qm.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/double-slit_experiment.

The awesomeness of the universe is simply beyond all human comprehension.
Travelling at the same speed as the fastest object ever created by man - Helios 2 - at a constant speed of 150,000 mph (240,000 km/hr) – it would take 19,000 years to travel the mere 4.2 light years to the nearest star/solar system, Proxima Centauri.
What would happen to a spacecraft if a piece of space debris the size of a tennis ball hit it at that speed?
Nice animation in this:
....the end of march will be the end of may!
(she can't last more than a fortnight, can she?).
if you've any spare cash, bet on the uk not leaving the e.u.
A day or two before the axe falls on the pantomime of Brexit, I'm prepared for the government or Parliament declaring that "desperate times call for desperate measures" Decisions which the electorate never agreed to will then be implemented.
The E.U.s treaty has been roundly rejected twice by Parliament - and probably again tonight. May's "deal" is a Norwegian Blue - it's a dead parrot. It is deceased!

If you've any spare cash, bet on the UK not leaving the E.U. this year. After all, as some MP's are now saying, "the referendum was only advisory."
UK politicians have only agreed on one thing - Britain cannot leave the EU without a deal.
In that case, the only alternative will be to stop the bus heading for the alleged "cliff-edge" and promise a future referendum after the next general election.
Even "The Fugitive" with David Janssen didn't last this long!
i actually visited the kh a few days ago.
i just needed to see some friends.
i hadn't been in months.
Visiting just to see old friends is understandable - perhaps even beneficial for a little while.
As far as attending a KH for "spiritual food" goes, I think of the scripture which says something about a dog returning to its vomit.

so here is a newer post over on that other site that reminds me of wash, rinse, and repeat.. this could be "our last memorial"!!!!
by shannie, wednesday at 08:14 pm in our meetings, ministry, and life as a christian.
well once again the memorial is upon us... tonight at our meeting.. .
We should refer to it as the "Rejection Memorial" or "Voyeur Memorial" from now on, and get PIMI JW's to jump-start their thinking processes.
Or simply ask them, "Why are you compelled to be a spectator at a ritual which is none of your business? A single Bible verse or principle will suffice."
watctower has posted a $40,000,000 bond following montana's upholding of the nunez v watchtower verdict of 2018. punitive damages have been upheld, and wt has purchased the bond from travelers insurance (35m+ interest)-montana sc will rule later this year on the appeal.. .
Lovely to see! Thanks.
Original source?
first minister nicola sturgeon is a) promising another independence vote and b) saying that an independent scotland would apply to join the e.u.. independent from england, but a vassal state of the e.u.. if it unfolds the way she wants it to, get ready for a scotland-england backstop argument for a hard border/soft border, followed by england refusing to allow scotland to continue using sterling as its currency.
not to mention scots arguing amongst themselves whether to keep the queen as head of state or not.
happy days ahead!

does anyone have an update on the developement in chelmsford?.
i'm always keenly slightly interested in hearing about jehovahs blessings..
The UK Bethelites are now essentially part of the smokescreen for enforcing/encouraging donations out of UK JW's.
Absolutely no justification or need for maintaining an expensive UK Branch complex when Selters in Germany serves the whole of Europe now.
i happened to be in my old town last week, i decided to drive past my old kh in n.wales,.
to my suprise there was a large 'for sale' sign hanging off it!.
this is a semi-remote area with the nearest other kh's a good 30 mins in every direction.
Back in the mid-2000's, Ron Drage (prominent UK Branch official) informed Brother Greenlees (very prominent JW in Scotland) that the organization had serious financial problems, but said he was sure it would be successfully dealt with.
Brother Greenlees shared this info with a dyed-in-the-wool JW who was also a close friend of mine.
The money-grab is continuing apace - must be due to the hundreds/thousands of new KH's being built for free in 3rd world countries. Isn't the generosity/love of "Jehovah's organization" wonderful to see!
Active JW's: Sorry to be a party-pooper, but I have yet to see/hear all the wonderful reports of these KH projects which poor JW's couldn't afford by themselves. Try asking your BOE to find out. :)
