i asked a tennis friend this morning what he thought about what’s going on in afghanistan and he said it was terrible.

he was a military man and identifies as a middle of the road republican.

he supported most of trump’s policies but voted for biden because he couldn’t take trump’s mean tweets.

To put on a hawkish hat for a moment, the US never fights to win. The Korean police action, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan to name a few. If you want to get rid of a bug you stomp on it not tease it and make it more angry.

Now if I put my real hat on.... why were we really in any of those countries spending the hard earned money of the people who never wanted to be there to begin with?

And a bit of prognostication: Venezuela is next on the hit list.

Ralph Walls implausible 2021 Convention field service story

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

another implausible field service story told by ralph walls at the 2021 convention.

get ready for this unrealistic, stupid, dull and boring, made up fiction that is presented at this assembly.. some years ago ( tells a story but doesn't know exact date ), a brother ( doesn't give his name ) in mexico ( doesn't name the town) from the rurals, dressed in a very simple garb ( to show he was not showy ) knocked at the door of a palatial mansion.

( a very rich ''worldly'' person must live here ).

I'm sure that Mr. Silken Robe dropped those two tomes in the bin as soon as Mr. Mule walked away.

What’s Wrong With President Biden?

i just watched excerpts from his cnn town hall event and something is seriously wrong with him.

he can’t put together a sentence without getting lost, tripping on his own words, forgetting what he is talking about.……this is embarrassing.

and it’s not because he has a stutter!

SadElder

Could some of his issue be related to his stuttering problem? Sometimes he starts to stutter and stops for a second and then goes on.

by smiddy3 in

SadElder

I think legal has been driving the bus for a long time.

Covid Vaccine - Which One

by SadElder in

i had just about decided to get the johnson & johnson vaccine and the issue of the guillain barre syndrome came up.

i realize it's a distant possibility but it gave me pause to reconsider.

i'm not fully onboard with the mrna method yet.. if you received the vaccine ..... which one, and can you share why that one?.

SadElder

Pistolpete... thanks for your observations. As I see 71 looming on the horizon in a couple months I'm amazed at how my system has changed in the last year.

I think Splane is the Cult Leader. And I think there are more apostates working on the inside than we can imagine.

by pistolpete in

so in the latest leaked video, splane goes on this crazy delusional rant about how faithful witnesses should never research their faith.. he criticizes the worldly court system and says they are not fair toward witnesses and the organization.

he says the court system is rigged and witnesses who get convicted, (implied child sex abusers) are innocent.

he is literally trying to justify child molesters and elders who cover them, as good people in "god's eyes" even though "human authorities" may judge them and put them in jail.

SadElder

I think Splane sees himself as the Fred Franz of the day. He seems to be the one that gets to deliver the scriptural diatribes.

Anyone get the feeling that the cult is really in trouble.

by mickbobcat in

so all the bs and hyperbole aside, to me it really looks like the cult is in trouble.

shrinking member, selling halls.

the move to televangelism is really strange to me.

SadElder

Since they aren't having any special meetings either, I wonder how the "heavies" are existing without the paper handshakes? Go on a speaking assignment and get together with the dub upper-crust and get wined and dined.
