    More recently, in a Lotus Seven replica (Birkin) 1.6 litre toyota twin cam engine,.Bruce highway Sunshine Coast (Oz).

    With a little help from Nos direct port injection. Actually clocked 250k.

    However, back in the seventies just before armageddon in a 1964 EH Holden with a tricked up engine including triple 2 inch S.U. carbies. 122 mph working off the tacho. Poor old speedo's were pretty unreliable in dem days. And THAT was the FIRST time.

    Yeah mickbobcat,sort of.

    They sent a letter to cong elders a couple of years ago instructing them to sort their libraries at kingdumb halls and to go through literature stored for use and discard certain older items. Some were to be displayed and then discarded. The letter also specified which older books, tracts, booklets were no longer to be displayed or held in the above-mentioned libraries. I will try and find the letters.

    Yes, the Sunshine Coast elders are abuzz about the incident and the couple from Melbourne (Melton area) had lunch with a witness that I knew some years ago.

    I'm sure the word will become official in due course. I was contacted by a witness I know in Caloundra about the incident.

    Praying for others?

    i’m looking for an article, from the watchtower, where it says that we should not pray for other members from the stage.

    does anyone remember an article saying this?.

    18. What are some points that brothers should keep in mind when representing a congregation in public prayer?

    18 At our meetings, loyal men represent the congregation in public prayer. (1 Tim. 2:8) Fellow believers should be able to say “amen,” meaning “so be it,” at the end of such a prayer. To do so, however, they must agree with what was said. There is nothing shocking or tactless about Jesus’ model prayer. (Luke 11:2-4) Moreover, he did not itemize all the needs or problems of each person in his audience. Personal concerns are suitable subjects for private, not public, prayer. And when representing a group in prayer, we should refrain from including confidential matters.

    a man named a, j. miller, who lives in queensland, australia, claims to be jesus.

    i saw it on a youtube video of "60 minutes australia, he was formerly a "jehovah's witness minister" according to the video.

    he has bought a large tract of land, with the help of his followers.

    So, where did this intriguing Dr Zimmermann officially publish this paper and does he even exist?

    Or is it a figment of The Damien Zone madness?

    I haven't even found if Hans Zimmermann even attended the University where the supposed study originated.

    jtg

    P.S. Wouldn't mind a copy of the actual study and not just a cherry picked few sentences by Damien.

    Nothing much Farmer Jim1 as far as I know, apart from the fact he is separated from his wife.

    Looks like he's off to Perth to play or coach a junior local footy club with his cousin.

    Just google 'alex rance local footy club'.

    I'm on your team smiddy. I cannot wait to see action although, covid is keeping the Govt a little distracted at the moment. I keep checking all Govt news outlets.

    I wonder if that will need to be presented to parliament in some form first.
