  some light entertainment ... there are apparently 39 beatles songs hidden in the picture, but depending on how to interpret some of them you may come up with more.. please post one each, to give everyone a go, and describe where the song is in the picture (so it's not just coming up with a list of beatles songs).

  also, check for existing answers - i'll post summaries to show the ones already identified.. .

  Ok since we can guess again. On the long and winding road, there is a truck with pigs on the side - is it Piggies?

  Some people say that if there wasn't suffering, we wouldn't appreciate the good or be better people etc. Even Capt. Picard said something like that. A Space 1999 episode had the crew find a "living" asteroid with a being imprisoned in it. Once released he causes suffering to them all on the same pretext. Guess why he was imprisoned in the first place? Yes it was a reference to God and Satan.

  Either we need evil for the above reasons or it's our fault for not listening to God.

  I like the chart by the way.

  Curious to know the Zoom attendance figures for for the memorial

  i’m just curious to know the local attendance figures for the memorial.

  my father told me they had an attendance of 140. not flattering for a cong of 100 pubs.

  i was sort of surprised at this considering the quarantine measures and everyone being forced to stay at home.

  They'll just take the numbers they got and spin it up. No one will be able to say otherwise. The only downside for them will be how to include "new" ones. No new one is going to group up with their witness study partner and there won't be any "drop ins" Wonder if they'll come up with some amazing "stories" about how Jehovah made it possible for these new ones to watch a zoom.

  "I was uh, just standing outside their window because they looked all neat and perfectly dressed while they were staring at a screen. So I listened in and I could tell that God was with them!"

  hey guys, so, i went to the hall today with my parents (they needed a ride) and there was this song that i wasn't familiar with.

  must be a new song or i might be simply ignorant of jw songs (i hate them).

  to my surprise i actually liked this song.

  One of the old songbooks had music written by the man who did some work for movies. You could plainly hear parts that were influenced by that in his music. But given that the WT steals pictures for their own use, it isn't surprising that music is also stolen. Most of the music is so dreary that anything that stands out as melodic, has a great likely hood of being "inspired" from other music.

  And I agree that this music is heavily influenced by another piece of music. If there wasn't singing going on, it might be easier to figure out. I haven't watched a lot of movies for several years so I am behind on this.

  The other thing - gray songbooks that match the music

  The virus and how it's affected life

  since i've never lived in time with dire events, this virus and it's effects, has taken me by surprise.

  not that i should be surprised by how people responded, but until you experience it first hand, you just don't get the scope of it all.. all the hoarding.

  i've always taken things in a more rational way.

  frozen2018 - I was watching someone play The Walking Dead on Youtube and I had the same thought. To be realistic they should show the survivors going thru houses and find rooms full of toilet paper.

  Yeah any thing with the WT involved will just be ignored or justified. The WT has done a good job on short circuiting any attacks on it's beliefs. They are insidious.

  Definition of insidious

  1a: having a gradual and cumulative effect : SUBTLEthe insidious pressures of modern life

  bof a disease : developing so gradually as to be well established before becoming apparent

  2a: awaiting a chance to entrap : TREACHEROUS

  b: harmful but enticing : SEDUCTIVEinsidious drugs

  All the hoarding. I've always taken things in a more rational way. Take what you need and don't be selfish. And at first, I was sort of amused by people hoarding. But then it was annoying to see people with carts stacked 3 ft higher than it, with toilet paper.

  Stores that have some art & crafts stuff are practically wiped out. Probably parents keeping their children occupied and art is a great way to do it. Kids are benefiting in some ways from this. The big hobby stores aren't open so you try the shipping route and find they are out of stuff. Looking on Amazon you find some supplies are outrageous in prices - like 5 times it's worth. (art stuff) Even if I go to a more local Dick Blick store, I have to order a lot to overcome the shipping costs.

  More home projects are getting done. I don't mind not going to work. Wish there wasn't the money drain tho.

  I went to Walmart and Lowe's yesterday. In both parking lots, there were quite a lot of discarded gloves on the ground along with a few masks. Really people, how jerky is that?

  Most people are doing the social 6ft distancing. Walmart had tape on the ground and outside they had made a long tent over the standing - in - line area. People seem more inclined to say things to you. Like we are all in the same boat thing.

  I made a funny discovery in the Walmart store. I was in their shipping supplies area to get a few boxes. Behind the medium flat pack of boxes, someone had hidden a 12 pack of toilet paper. So they might have gotten some already but there is a limit, so they tucked it away to come back later or maybe for someone else to come get. Well I took it and got some "where did you get that's and You're lucky" chats. I feel kind of bad because I'm just one person and I have some at home. I feel like a hoarder over that but then, I just don't want to deal with having to look later for some. Because even tho they restock, still no hand sanitizers, lysol spray (although one worker went and got one for a lady that had nicely begged for sanitizer) tp gone and supposedly was going to restocked at 6.

  How about all of you? How is your area on stocking and how people are taking it? What surprised you the most?
