  i still like the commentary on the jw.org monthly’s, i can skip through some parts.

  but it seems like he is pushing too hard to put out videos and the quality is getting very low on the content..

  Do you make french fries in your John Cedars air fryer?

  @truth b known ...

  Now that you mention it, the fries did have an odd taste. I thought it was the brand of fries I bought and not the fryer but who knows. I'll try a different brand and report back later.

  Breaking: Beards in The Watchtower

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the latest issue of the watchtower shows a man with a beard praying.. .

  i fully expected to see him 'progress' to clean-shaven in the following pictures, but instead he is still bearded when 'applying bible principles'.. .

  i then realized that he was already featured on the cover itself.. .

  I'm sure the loosening of the rules will be welcomed by Italian brothers and sisters.

  Hmmm nothing wrong with people wanting to be with their own kind.

  silentbuddha ...

  I guess my sarcasm highlights my point.

  When personally, I hear the term "own kind" I think of people. When I hear the word dog, I think of dog. When I hear the work cat, I think of cat.

  I don't automatically attach a color to a dog, cat or another human being.

  Maybe its just me.

  How Can So Many Protesters (George Floyd) Be From "Somewhere Else?"

  by RubaDub in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i hear every mayor, every politician, claiming that the protesters are coming in from "other states".

  at some point, with about 130 cities that had protests over the last weekend, where the hell are people coming from???.

  there are only 50 states (57 per obama, but that includes us territories and kenya).

  I hear all those protesters from out of town brought pallets of bricks with them, too!

  Desirous ...

  That was sort of my point, how can everyone be from "out of town?" Is there no civic responsibility or duty to support one's own community?

  If I throw a brick or smash a local business, doesn't the company go to my local Home Depot / Lowes / Ace / Menards or other local place and purchase materials to rebuild and support the local workers? Why go out of town to do that?

  I don't get it.

  There are only 50 States (57 per Obama, but that includes US Territories and Kenya). So where are these people coming from? Are they just on a tour or something?

  If you want to protest, and I can understand, but why not stay close to home? Save the fuel, travel expenses, whatever. Find a near-by city. Get a local hotel. Do whatever.

  But why when people are arrested is there a long list of States that people came from? Can't they find their own protest?

  I hope that was sarcasm.

  If it wasn't sarcasm, I should be in jail.

  Unfortunately, a lot of people believe that way.

  Why did they have to HANG MARY?

  by Terry in

  they hanged mary!

  (the townsfolk did)i'll tell you about it - but .... the facts will turn readers against her.

  i mean, after all, she did kill a man.sympathy instantly dries up; making her agonizing death--as awful as it was--much less empathetic.
