If we get any announcement at all it will be to not earmark any donations.
Remember the good samaritan? He had to go through channels and follow careful direction. Meanwhile the victim bled out.

The public air waves, infrastructure built through public rights of way correspond to public sidewalks. There is only so much bandwidth, my city allows only one cable company.
Give me a straight story, I will draw my own conclusions. Who defines the lie?

by BettyHumpter inas if.no, of course he's already asking for federal aid.

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 in15 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.

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 inbut 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).
