The Ohio firm, Porter Wright Morris & Arthur withdrew from the Pennsylvania suit, but that's common knowledge. Maybe you guys are talking about two different things?

No.
The idea was insinuated, but it was never formally stated.
More than that, it is contradicted in their own Bible encyclopedia.

Politics and Hope
by lriddle80 inso there are a lot of atheists on here.
my question: where does your hope come from?
that the right people will be put in political positions and will eventually form a utopian society that will meet all needs and we will have equality for all?.

Ok, good, I agree, biology doesn't account for the whole picture.
That is not at all what I said, but I do applaud your positive outlook...

I think this in a "long shot" attempt.....
A contingent election. Now that would be something to see. How long has it been? 195 years?

So, if feelings are just hormones chasing each other. Then why pay attention to any of them?
I don't think the organic cause of feelings trivializes them. (Perhaps I did not convey that thought as well as I thought I did in my initial comment.) The point was that they originate from within.
And some definitely shouldn't be listened to. Suicidal thoughts, for example, can be very powerful and strike without much warning. If you ever have them, I hope you don't listen.

My hope?
I'm going to agree with Pistol Pete here. Hope is a feeling and like all feelings, it's simply hormones chasing each other in your brain.
Don't misunderstand. Hope, optimism, dreams, ambition, desire are great feelings and even better when you realize they spring from within.

Final Prediction on Election
by minimus inwho wins?
who loses?
president/ senate/ house of representatives .

In my state, (AZ) mail in ballots had to be formerly requested in writing with a valid phone number and 3d barcode of your driver's license or equivalent ID. Dropping off a ballot or voting in the traditional fashion also required a phone number and ID with the additional check of a living, breathing person comparing the picture on the ID to your smiling face.
There were grumblings yesterday about voter fraud in AZ, (Mostly by people who don't understand the huge differences between the Latino population here and the one in Florida) but we did it right this time.

What`s wrong With American Politics ?
by smiddy3 inwhat`s wrong with american politics ?.
96% of american people who got off there arse to vote, chose hillary clinton to be president of the united states of america over donald trump.. and the electoral college overode the will of the majority of the people who bothered to vote , and gave the office of president to donald trump who was the 2nd choice, an also ran , of the will of the people.. it`s a furphy to say that some larger blue/red states can dictate to smaller red/blue states or vice versa to rig the elections ,simply because people can, and do change there preferences in any one state whether it be traditionally red or blue.. both democrats and republicans are both guilty and responsible for the gerrymander that is the electoral college.. there i`ve said it ,.
nobody else seems to be able to say it how it is ,.

We have the Electoral College for the same reason we have two houses of Congress. (One based on state population and one where all states have an equal voice)
It was to prevent small states and sparsely populated states from being completely drowned out and silenced.

The 1950s NWT (1984)
by HowTheBibleWasCreated ini did a video on this subject once but feel this is a noteworthy topic.
to be honest the old nwt has come under sonsiderable attack from fundie morons attacking it's nt which was translated with a few revisals in 1950.the truth is john 1:1 and 8:58 and other texts, though despite being odd, are within the translation rules as are the inclusion of the word {other} since this was stated in the forward as an interpolation.
jehovah in the nt is odd but certianly lacking as other translations have added more yhwh.. so the ot?

Dr. BeDuhn disagrees strongly with the insertion of the name "Jehovah" in the NT, pointing out that no translation that bills itself as literal has any business making that kind of assumption.
He's sympathetic to the NWT because he's weary of the Trinitarian bias in Bible scholarship, as a lot of us are.
