Questionable logic. Why is t h e trip out slow and return instantaneous? Is one way uphill? A circle makes more sense, start, and when done be at the original spot.

The One Way Speed of Light Could Be Instantaneous
by Sea Breeze inphysics students learn the speed of light, c, is the same for all inertial observers but no one has ever actually measured it in one direction.
assuming that light travels the same speed in all directions is a convention, rather than an experimentally verified fact.
this really challenges what we think we know.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptn6ewhb27k&ab_channel=veritasium .

The Sanitizing of David
by Doug Mason inthe bible depicts king david as a deeply flawed, unsavory character, the perpetrator of evil acts including: murder, insurrection, adultery, banditry, and extortion.
the sanitizing of david’s character during the following centuries and millennia created an image that idolizes him as the paragon of virtue, closely associated with the promised messiah.
my study identifies the davidic sanitizing process.. https://www.academia.edu/s/390a7ba170?source=link .

I've always been jealous. Not of the murder part though. Well hung, eye for beauty, no qualms, no responsibility, lots of opportunity, even conscripted habishags.
Power gives the opportunity, then and now.

What are Jehovah's Witnesses' stance on home ownership?
by timothytha inwhat do people usually think of when they buy a house?
"i will probably live here for a long time" (you're invested with your time), "i will save money by building equity over time".
(you've invested in yourself financially for the long run) of course, i wouldn't be able to list the numerous reasons why people want to buy a house.

First post? Be aware we are naughty JWs or worse. I would be under a bridge without having bought.
You are tied down more if you want to move for a job or such.
The experiences are people who had equity and money, not the struggling peons. You seldom hear of visiting " "princes" staying where the door is a blanket tacked up or sleeping on a hide a bed. Always above average homes, the same as depicted in the literature.

David had his chance. I want an Abishag. Did it ever occur to them that a telephone would terrify the old guys? Not to mention a car.
What came of the cadillacs? I would like to have one for assemblies. Park it with a proper historical placard.

I am really surprised they can do anything in a 2 hour window. Not the usual impression from most announcements

There was a posting from an elder who attended a "school" where a higher up said the governing body throws ideas at the wall and waits to see if it sticks. He didnt walk out, but did close his notebook and quit listening.

Governing Body Update 3 video on resuming meetings in person
by psyco inregarding the governing body update 3 video on resuming meetings in person, i am wondering:.
what is the purpose of wearing masks and to sit keeping distances if you shake hands and hug each other before and after the meetings?.

It is too early to spot trends but (WT trademark word) first meetings showed 30 to 40 on zoom, memorial 20 odd, last midweek the chairman commented on sparce in person audience and zoom showed 50 or more.
I have yet to attend in person but probably will for appearances sake. There are legitimate health concerns to stay home.

Science News article: ‘Case closed’: 99.9% of scientists agree climate emergency caused by humans
by Disillusioned JW ina news article has the headline of " ‘case closed’: 99.9% of scientists agree climate emergency caused by humans"; see https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/oct/19/case-closed-999-of-scientists-agree-climate-emergency-caused-by-humans .
the article says in part the following.. 'the scientific consensus that humans are altering the climate has passed 99.9%, according to research that strengthens the case for global action at the cop26 summit in glasgow.. the degree of scientific certainty about the impact of greenhouse gases is now similar to the level of agreement on evolution and plate tectonics, the authors say, based on a survey of nearly 90,000 climate-related studies.
this means there is practically no doubt among experts that burning fossil fuels, such as oil, gas, coal, peat and trees, is heating the planet and causing more extreme weather.. a previous survey in 2013 showed 97% of studies published between 1991 and 2012 supported the idea that human activities are altering earth’s climate.. this has been updated and expanded by the study by cornell university that shows the tiny minority of sceptical voices has diminished to almost nothing as evidence mounts of the link between fossil-fuel burning and climate disruption.. the latest survey of peer-reviewed literature published from 2012 to november 2020 was conducted in two stages.

Iconsider myself moderate. Luddite leanings and a working class background. I decry the idea that everyone can live above average ( oxymoron) and the idea that minimum income works-minimum skills is a better metric. Bernie should have promoted " free" job training.
My skepticism on climate hinges on the natural cycles from ice ages etc. The local weather station is at an airport which moved and once was at city park.

"I also have a bicycle that I bought as a teenager, but I rarely ride it because I quickly get tired when pedaling it up inclines - even very mild inclines. I use public transportation combined with walking up 20 minutes per trip to get around."
Wait until you get older. Most of the things we have that make life possible and enjoyable are a result of the industrial revolution. The belief that you will be ever young and have magical stuff is in the realm of the JWs belief.
Do not call us rabid right either. Politics is a cube with points all over the place. Are you a rabid leftist?
