a dragon aurora over iceland.

i've seen auroras, both northern and southern, but nothing like this.. .

while not nearly as spectacular as a dragon aurora, if you think of it take a look at the super snow moon tonight.
smiddy3

That is spectacular, it is for real isnt it ? not doctored in any way ?
Only one time have I ever seen an Aurora Australis ,when I was a teenager in Melbourne Victoria Aust.
And i will never forget it but nothing as spectacular as that .

We are past doing anything special now listener we just went down to the local club and had a few drinks with some friends and that was about it.
Our highlight was 8 years ago when we flew into the USA from Australia for our 50th wedding anniversary and loved every minute of it ,LA ,L.Vegas, SFCisco,Grand Canyon, Carmel, Cannery Row, Sausalito ,just to name a few
excuse the spelling.
And met and conversed with a lovely actress Jillian Armanante at the farmers market in LA.
How can we beat that ?
I look forward to hearing how your 30th goes ,keep me posted .
Take care

This Is It...

just finished watching the talk by tony morris on john cedars channel.

sounded to me that he was hedging his bets.

on the one hand he says "this is it" and out of the other he says prophecies are best understood after they are fulfilled.

Wasn`t Germany the KOTN and Great Britain was the KOTS in Russell / Rutherford days ? then it became the USSR as the KOTN after that ,then they weren`t sure who was going to emerge as the KOTN and now its down to the lone Russians without there satellite nations ,and the KOTS is the Anglo/American alliance.
All of these flip flops while the Reigning King Jesus Christ sits on his throne ruling amidst his enemies since 1914 ?
It doesn`t look good for the next 900 years of Jesus Christ reign judging by his first 100 years on the job.
Especially with all of the downsizing ,cutbacks and lay-offs of long standing Bethel volunteers who have been put out to pasture to fend for themselves ,selling off of KH`s and Branches around the world.
Not to mention how Jesus Christ as the reigning King is dealing with or handling all of the Child sexual Abuse cases that have sprung up all over the world..... ON HIS WATCH ?

Does anyone know how many kh's are/Have been sold?

are we at least able to estimate?

and where are the funds from these sales going?

the official line is of course that it's to build halls in africa etcbut i don't believe it .
smiddy3

These sales will contribute to helping us to transition from our current position to the revised operating budget that the Governing Body is working towards.
Anybody want to guess what that means ? I thought Jehovah was running this show and the GB were just following suit.
It seems like the GB is running the show and Jehovah is just following suit .

Why did Jehovah allow Eve to become pregnant?

jehovah reminds me of married couples who are having problems who decide to .

have children to improve their lot.. obviuosly jehovah can prevent pregnancy.. 1 samuel 1:5,6 .

but to hannah he gave a double portion because he loved her, .
smiddy3

It was just another way he could watch humans suffer .Gen.3:16 "I shall greatly increase the pain of your pregnancy ,in birth pangs you will bring forth children "
he`s such a loving God ? Not.

Out of the mouths of PIMOs

new episode twenty five - daniel is a pimo jehovah's witness.

pimo – \pee-moe\ noun – short for physically in, mentally out, a person held captive to the cult of jehovah’s witnesses because although they are awake, to let others know would cost them everything they’ve ever known.

they stay in physically to keep spouses, family, friends, the only social structure that they’ve ever been allowed to have.
smiddy3

I think its great that there is a multi-faceted approach to exposing in one way or another the problems being in the JW/WT religion and you fill a niche dubstepped with your podcast .
Keep on doing what you do best .
