Do you Attend University scholarly Lectures
by peacefulpete inwe've been privileged to attend a number of outstanding lectures on a wide range of scientific topics, some by now quite famous researchers.
for example, we attended a caltech discussion/lecture by svante paabo not long after his initial work on neanderthal dna was released and met him after the lecture.
he wasn't a dynamic speaker but a humble man who obviously felt more comfortable in the lab than on the podium.

Mostly read. I personally interested in anthropology. The migration, trade, mixing, displacing that occurred. Not the mainstream stuff. My hunch is there were polynesians, chinese, vikings, europeans, siberians, eskimos who knew and used the americas way before columbus. Since I am American clovis points in " wrong " places, Mandans, anasazi--- all intrigue me.
Both the dating of man well before they were supposed to be in an area and the recorded displacement of peoples in recent times, and not by white settlers.
Once I thought I could ask resurrected ones 😐

I have seen snot nosed pre pubescent used. Also women despite their having smaller brains (per some GB clowns).
I am unspiritual but am charitable. I can and have given good talks; quit when the convoluted new light became too much.

GB finances nothing unless it is playing the stock/bond market. They propose things and ask for donations. Be it ramapo or new cars for COs or a warm bed and meal for a disaster victim it is the rank and file who is charitable

The use of "Stumbled" as a Control Technique.
by Phizzy ini thought about this when i read the expression in another thread, "someone was stumbled", they would never tell you who the person was, and simply used it to control you, or it got worse, some times it was "you might stumble someone" .. who were these stumbling loons of which they spoke ?
not only was it a control mechanism, it encouraged you to not be your real self, ever.. i liked the response of one of my jw relatives to this, where they expected him to change the person he was, he said "these people accusing me are not perfect are they ?
no, well then, they cannot expect perfection from me".

Some people are Karens looking for a reason to be stumbled. Hair color on women, beards, cars, leisure top the list. No mention that we might be stumbled by their going " beyond what is written".

non US folks and pumpkin pie
by carla insorry, i didn't know how to classify this- on some cooking boards i am on i came across how some do not understand pumpkin pie at all, particularly down under.
there was a whole thread about picking up libby's pumpkin pie filling (and the expense) and then came the subject of vegemite which does not sound good to me but can't say as i have never had it.
with all the sugar and spices what is not to like about it?

Pumpkin is American origin. First pies were main course I nstead of dessert.
Other food from the americas that spread worldwide is corn, potato, and some beans, turkeys.
What is vegemite?
We have to find a purpose in life

Jehovah's Witness already suing Boston over Covid-19 policies files second suit
by Tahoe ina boston police officer who is already part of a suit seeking millions of dollars in damages from boston over its rescinded indoor vaccination requirements today filed a separate suit seeking at least another $2 million because the city fired him last month after rejecting his request for a religious exemption from covid-19 vaccinations.. in his new suit, filed today in suffolk superior court, saviel colon said the city forced him into a "hobson's choice" even though it knew he was a jehovah's witness when it hired him and he began working as a police officer in december, 2019 - and even though he filed all the paperwork the department required for a religious exemption.
colon says the city rejected his exemption request and put him on an unpaid leave in october, 2021, and then fired him last month.. in addition to the "financial and emotional distress" - including headaches, exhaustion and sleeplessness_ - he says he's suffered, colon adds:.
defendant's decision on disciplinary action was embarrassing and was made publicly in front of all his colleagues at the police station.. .
