  Ron DeSantis: "We do not require assistance. The people of Florida will rebuild on our own"

  as if.no, of course he's already asking for federal aid.

  it's the republican way.

  florida needs the rest of the country to pitch in taxpayer dollars because it's different when it happens to me.

  Another congregation closed

  by hoser in

  2. friends

  15 years ago there were 5 congregations now there is only one and it is still struggling.

  congregations closing their doors doesn’t mean business is good.

  it looks like this last one to fold had no young witnesses, they either left the religion or moved.

  Doc

  Placebo is it. I know atheists who give " warm thoughts "

  Facing difficult times anything that gives clear thoughts, comfort from knowing others care, or even false hope can bring peace.

  I'm Not Saying Americans are Stupid

  by Simon in

  2. humour

  but maybe they over-value their own abilities.

  c'mon, imagining you could fight a gorilla, lion, elephant, or bear with your bare hands?!?.

  this could be an amazing new reality tv show though ... "ok, bubba, you've just beaten a dog ... now for $16,000 do you want to fight a chimpanzee?

  Interesting elephant comes in before grizzly. I stop before the rat. People haven't watched enough chimp shows or it would rank further down.

  And not all Americans are stupid, just most of us. Canadians, Mexican s, french?

  Tell them you are doing independent research and you will be told to limit your research to watchtower publications.

  They take popular subjects being commented on by churches and plagiarize it. I did extra reading on the fornication root word which was just additional materialfrom their sources and got squelched

  Pursued a career even if I d I d miss meetings for schooling and job. I fell into a career instead.

  Maybe joined army. Friends who did came out grown up. Vietnam would have been the downside.

  OTH. I have a good marriage, enough to live on. ( brandon is working to change that).

  They already researched it once and told us. No mention of clots, fetus tissue, heart affects. But it is from Jehovah.

  Waiting to see if October 1 brings more attendees and if they will find a way to still require masks.

  I remember the scandal of neighbor girl wearing jeans with a zipper in front instead on the side. My interest was behind the zipper even at 8.

  Riding horses makes girls horny was the story but I never benefited.

  Need greaters get rid of their dogs, then miss the therapy provided. My dog is at my feet, cat asleep in a recliner.
