  Emergency COVID Ration Spam Fritters

  by Simon in

  so as things are now opening up and food never ran out, i've been dipping into our emergency supplies.

  they say that spam doesn't have a shelf-life, it has a half-life, but i kind of wanted to see if it was like i remembered as a kid.. as it turns out spam fritters are as delicious as i remember, probably better ('cause i did fancy ones).

  i used this recipe and they were glorious.

  Simon, why did you have to bring up Spam???

  Believe it or not, on Sunday morning I went to our largest food store chain here in Florida, Publix, and there was not a single can of Spam. The shelves had the labels on them (Original, Low Salt, Low Fat ... blah blah blah) but no actual Spam. The shelf space was totally empty. I don't know why. I was just thinking they make it in some "locked-down" place or something and they are not shipping.

  I bought a can of corned beef hash instead. I took it home and then mixed in a half cooked egg. I like that too.

  My wife will not eat, as she calls them, "mystery meats", but she had her granola stuff while I increased my cholesterol level by 10%.

  At least it tasted really good. When I go shopping later (beer is getting low in the refrigerator) I will see if they have a new supply of Spam.

  i guess it's the covid-19 thing.

  but very little news from a couple of people i know well there.

  they can't leave the "compound" or much of anything else.

  Yes, several are "up there" in age and known by many. Nothing can realistically happen to them. They are part of the furniture.

  It's the younger ones, as you mention, in the 40's to 60's that should sleep with one eye open.

  As for those bethel ‘lifers’ you know who have ‘no other options’:..what happens if the JW religion decides to let another group of bethelites go like they have done over the last decade or so?

  LongHairGal ...

  The "lifers" I know and was referring to are ones that my family have known since the time of Christ and don't have much life left ... if you get my drift.

  while at the same time they speak/describe the many restrictions they're forced to live by. It's a long list of do's and don'ts...or else!

  @JW GoneBad ...

  Yes. A few of the people I know there are Bethel "lifers." What options do they really have? You just smile and as you say, put on a happy face. Their options are very limited. Perhaps more correctly to say, they have no other options.

  It's very strange. Even they tell me it is strange.

  Why is he spiritual Israel not innumerable?

  please share this question.

  why is he spiritual israel not innumerable?.

  the literal seed of abraham was innumerable (heb 11:12; gen 22:17; 1ki 4:20).

  Perhaps the one counting only has 144,000 fingers and toes. Jesus would be the thumb.

  So we end up with the 144,001 number we have read about many times.

  Not rocket science.

  Apparently I have a red flag for posting anything of descent on the Don.

  @Wasanelder ....

  Yes, I understand. We're in the same line. We just need to keep at a social distance and wear a mask when posting. I put on my MAGA hat to be on the safe side.

  Just be careful with your keyboard. I am on my third one since I keep spraying sanitizer on them so I don't infect myself.

  Linking the first convention in 1922 at Cedar Point Ohio and the proclamation made then

  @smiddy3 ...

  I wish people here would not screw around with the 1922 Cedar Point Ohio horn-blowing.

  It's what keeps me in.

  Overlapping Generation

  by pandorasbox1914 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the september 2015 broadcast had david splane explain matthew 24:34 “truly, i say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place”.

  his explanation of this scripture was by means of a chart to indicate an overlapping generation.. .

  no scripture was used to show the overlapping generation concept, and as a result it makes no sense.. to illustrate how crazy this concept is, look at the lyrics of the song my generation.. my generation.

  That whole "Splane" thing when he tries to "splain" the overlapping generation made as much sense as having MisterRodgers explaining to children of how clowns have sex with circus animals.
