Total socialism does not work. Its failed every where it has been tried. But even in the USA we have some socialized things. USPS, Military, Roads, Parks system, VA, Medicare and caid, Social Security. A full on socialism country would not work because there is no drive to work. The market would not work as it does now. But that said the market can not be let go to have the "invisible hand" control it because it would be eternal boom and bust and put in human greed and corruption and it would fail. It needs regulation. Capitalism has worked well but it does need regulation. The 2008 crash is a good example of letting markets run themselves. Regulation was cut on lending practices and greed and corruption did the rest. This all said I do believe we need a socialized health care system. It would not be free. Everyone would pay into it, and even let there be copay so some idiot does not run to the Dr every time a kid sneezes. I don't believe in profit for a persons health.

How to remain with Jehovah's Witnesses even though you are Awake!
by TerryWalstrom inthinking is an active process.. evasion is avoiding that action of active thinking which would create a positive difference.
.realizing the truth about the truth.. thinking is the virtue* man prizes most.
all other virtues proceed from thinking.. evasion is the willful suspension of one's consciousness.

This crap has been going on for years. I can remember in th e70s driving 100 miles to a ST that we were all sure was going to tell us to hide out as the end is going to start. It was always some lame ass BS about staying strong to the end or the like. It will be for sure BS.

I called the police and an elder told me that I should have never contacted the police but an elder. I basically said never was going to happen that way and they did not do anything about it in my case. But it shows that they want to have everything in their control.

"Fulfilled prophecy shows beyond a doubt that (Christ) did appear in 1874. Fulfilled prophecy is otherwise designated the physical facts; and these facts are indisputable....We understand that the jubilee type began to count in 1575 B.C.; and the 3,500 year period embracing the type must end in 1925....It follows, then, that the year 1925 will mark the beginning of the restoration of all things lost by Adam's disobedience."The Watchtower," 1922-NOV-1, Pages 333 & 346.
"Our thought is, that 1925 is definitely settled by the scriptures. As to Noah, the Christian now has much more upon which to base his faith than Noah had upon which to base his faith in a coming deluge." The Watchtower," 1923-APR-1, Page 106.
"With great expectations Christians have looked forward to this year. Many have confidently expected that all members of the body of Christ will be changed to heavenly glory during this year. This may be accomplished. It may not be... Christians should not be so deeply concerned about what may transpire this year."The Watchtower," 1925-JAN-1, Page 3.
"...there will be a resurrection of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and other faithful ones of old ... we may expect 1925 to witness the return of these faithful men of Israel from the condition of death, being resurrected and fully restored to perfect humanity and made the visible, legal representatives of the new order of things on earth.... Therefore we may confidently expect that 1925 will mark the return of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the faithful prophets of old, particularly those named by the Apostle in Hebrews 11, to the condition of human perfection."Millions now living will never die," (1918), Page 89.

NBD, This is why I collect these publications. The society does not want us to remember any of these old predictions in their publications. And to buy a modern copy they will say its fake. But how can one argue with an original copy of a publication they printed at HQ? Looks like pages 88 and 89 are where they explicity say the end is going to happen in 1925 when Abraham Isaac and Jacob are resurrected.

Minnesota sucks, the cold, the politics now seems to be a Muslim haven and idiot leftist strong hold. They elected a terrorist to the house. Florida has hurricanes lived through a few and left full time living there because of it. Crowded by north east idiots? Yep in winter. Winters are great. Warm weather, just cool enough to make it great. I got to know the back roads and how to avoid 41, and 75 ect and hits places like Webster's huge flea market, Micanopy, Mount Dora and other places that are great fun. The races in Daytona bike week, St. Augustine, you can have Orlando. Key West is great, Miami has some very cool things to do. Its very unique. As for living there full time no way. I spent 14 years there. Enough. But in winter I am thinking of taking a TT down for a couple of months when the Northern south here is 30 degrees.

4th of july US, Father and mothers day, Labor day US, April fools day, Ground hog day, Guy Fawkes day. I know in several congregations I went to there was always a debate on is it a sin to go see the 4th fireworks. And some would even say if you can see them from your home you should not set up a chair and watch.
