  Trying to be totally objective, not political... and I mean it with the Presidents or Presidential Candidates in the past 20 or 30 years ...

  Reagan - Coherent. Good until right near the end when hints of the Alzheimers started setting it.

  Bush Sr. - Coherent

  Clinton - Coherent

  Bush Jr. (W) - Spoke after he tried to think but often sadly made no sense

  Obama - Coherent

  Trump - Talks before he thinks - wait 24 hours until he does a 180 after he thinks

  Biden - Speaks while he's trying to think but sadly often makes no sense

  it’s always been 10 hours when door to door was active.

  i’m curious of how it’s changed with only letter writing and phone witnessing approved.. i’m curious if they are able to do it for 3 hours like a typical door to door morning.

  i would be surprised.

  Maybe some just make a call or write a letter, then drive to the donut shop on the other side of town for a curb-side pickup, and then go back home, get on-line and talk for a half hour or so before writing another letter.

  That helps to "keep the routine."

  For return visits, call the same person you called earlier. Then apologize, make an excuse, tell them you are sorry to have bothered them, and count it as a return visit.

  but isn`t the appearance of Gog and / of Magog happening after the thousand years or JC`s reign ?

  smiddy ...

  The last I remember, Gog and Co. was leading up to the Great Tribulation and he had a hook or something in his jaw bringing them to the "faithful" and then God steps in to prevent the annihilation. That's when Armageddon begins, people get pulverized and then the unclean and hated birds have lunch.

  It can be a bit hard to put all the Ezekiel, Jeremiah and John (Revelation) pieces all together in one movie. That comment is not in jest. I really could never figure out how all the pieces (wild beast, image of the wild beast, gog of magog) and all of the flying horses in heaven all came together at the same time.

  Maybe the final version is still on the drawing board.

  The fat people get fatter and the thin ones get thinner. I also noticed the people who are most out of shape are never in a gym

  gyms (which will reduce the number of morbidly obese people that are morbidly susceptible to coronavirus at its worst)

  WTWizard ...

  Your premise is correct but in reality, when wife and I go to the gym, there are very few morbidly obese people that I ever see. In an odd way, most people l see at the gym really don't need to be there. It's the ones that aren't there that should be there.

  Does that make sense?

  Yes folks ... to those who have responded.

  Babylon "fell" in some year around 1918 (please don't make me look up the date, which makes no sense anyway).

  Then, the League of Nations (image of the wild beast) would be "was, but is not, but was" and then emerge as the United Nations or whatever the verse says.

  So the UN has to destroy all "false" religion then the UN/Nations will attack "God's People" ... or something to that effect. That brings on the Great Tribulation. Somehow Gog of Magog factors in somehow but I was never sure if Gog and Company were a separate force or mercenaries or something working with the UN. Maybe I missed that part of the Babylon book we studied so many times. I was but a child at the time.

  Personally, I think those who attack Islam will have their hanging down parts handed back to them in a jar and told to go home.

  Not to be political, but I see little for Biden to gain at this point coming out of his bunker. Going head to head with any incumbent is tough, especially under these unique circumstances.

  I think there will be a Biden barrage of campaigning in Sept and Oct on all types of media. You have a lot more to shoot at in missteps made by anybody with more time behind you.

  I'm a 4th gen born in, but I think many become JW's since they are in a very difficult time in their lives.

  They pray and pray and pray, and then someone knocks on the door.

  It may be a JW at the door ... a person from the post office delivering a package ... someone offering to put a new roof on their house ... whatever.

  That's just how it is rationalized that God sent the person in the darkest time of need.

  In a few weeks, the person will be at the KH, delivering packages, or putting new shingles on someone's roof.
