since i need to keep up for family's sake i "study"(skim, its not deep).
worship: pray, study ( wt), go to meetings ( formal, not gathering 2 or 3), preach.
thrn add helping build halls, donating, and since donations go one way only, give material aid to others.. note construction time isn't for service,( but i may have turned in time for it).

Note construction time isn't for service,( but I may have turned in time for it). The local hall gets a donation, none to the WT, local hall forwards way too much all ready
where do i live?.
people say: cowtown.
i say: it ain't.. i've lived in fort worth all but ten of my seventy-five years.. nobody ever asked me why fort worth is called cow town.. i would guess it is self-evident.. how many of us who live in fort worth realize those two words are gleaming with history?.
I live in a cowtown too. Said like it is bad by lots of new comers. I prefer to call it the big a** hole on the plains.
another shooting, this time 14 kids dead more wounded and a teacher dead.
i am all for the second amendment and this does not change my mind.
but i do hate this kind of thing, makes my stomach turn.
Several points: ( from news so can snd will chsnge)
Perp was by accounts a tranny ( mental health)
US marshalls were there actively involved
Small town cops are usually less trained and paid
There had been 48 or lock downs due to fugitive illegal immigrants being sought. ( cry wolf?)
Teachers were forbidden to carry
here in the uk we've recently had the price cap on household energy bills raised by around £800 and there'll be another similar raise this autumn.. food prices are up, petrol is around £1.82 per litre - that's $10.37 per gallon for our american friends - and inflation is currently running at 9%.
business are being hit as ordinary folk prioritise their spending.
young folks are effectively priced out of the housing market and wage rises are not keeping pace.. mrs nic' and i are fortunate in that we're both in secure employment and with the kids moved out and mortgage paid off our outgoings are thankfully low.
Noticably more money going to food and "energy". Retired so no concern about commuting. Afternoon drives are affected a little.
I notice a increase in home improvement, partlydue to home value, but also seems tobe related to staying home for relaxation. A simple patio set is obscenely priced.
The healthcosts will rise more. If the car needs replaced or just tires it is an eye opener.

Local schools cut ties to police liason officers, then hired armed security. Not in every school, but just driving one to other.🤔
The reason was the police interacted with misbehaving minorities instead of doing quotas by race.
Simon is right that police in general will not engage because they get accused of racism or brutality. We have an increase in large scale shoplifting too, same reason.
The perp is a poster boy for the new left agenda instead of one of us rednecks.
its a personal pet peeve to me but i hate it when ex jws use the catch phrase friends.
this was used at every convention and many meetings i went to.
the friends, mother and others.
Just ask them. Witness never borrow terms, ideas, or research. If we dig we can even probably find some other over lapping story.
how do jws resolve these conflicting facts.. 1. no matter how you spin it, bible chronology calculates to circa 4000 bc for adam's creation.
i followed the trail many years ago and that's what it adds up to.. 2. the most cursory investigation of any branch of relevant science puts man's habitation on the earth as hugely earlier than that.
it's now so well-proved that anyone disputing it is guilty of wilful ignorance.
Seemingly 4000 bc is the start of written records. Correlation versus causation conundrum
wt claims that satan was thrown out of heaven in october 1914 precipitating ww!
and the end times.
a small problem with that is ww1 started on july 28th 1914 whilst satan was still in heaven picking his nose.. how did we not see this and waste years of precious life?
Traditionally October 4/5 is the start of God's year. That is when "everything " takes place. Ignore mixing the Gregorian calendar and Jewish days starting at sunset.
I still have moments about the date every year-- ingrained training. Along with aluminum pots

It is telling that almost all these events happen in a gun free zone. It is reported that the teachers wanted to be allowed to carry but were denied. note the shooter was taken out by an ICE agent, (a supposed racist bad guy) We know little of the actual motives, means, or trigger.
Do not confuse the blm crap with getting off the plantation. Most protesters were whites who never gave done grunt labor. The rest were thugs who are decried by ALL normal humans.
box on page 24 of the july 15th titled :"if ever the evil slave....".
jesus has placed the weightiest of responsibilities on the faithful and discreet slave-namely,overseeing the domestics and giving out spiritual food atthe proper time.
jesus knew that those with greater responsibility have greater accountability.
So......hypothetically the slave is not real, or ( my opinion) the self proclaimed slave is indeed wicked. By being deceiving, greedy, and haughty.
