Why build a new movie studio when we are in the last part of the last part of the last day?

How will the studio receive power? Is it just hooked up to the power grid or does it have a solar farm?

I'm sure they'll say that Jehovah will see to it that the worlds power grid and satellites are left intact and that his Holy Spirit will enable our clever brothers and sisters from around the world to keep them operating.

At the same time, they'll ignore the fact that all the studios and printing facilities of the world could also be left intact and at their disposal and they don't need to build this new one. Not to mention the likelihood that all the TV and radio stations could also be left intact and they can broadcast JW info all day every day.

When I was in my 20's I had dinner in a Chinese restaurant in the international district and got a fortune cookie that said in misspelled and broken English.

"PAY PLEMIUM PLICE FIRS TIME....CLY ONRY ONCE"

("PAY PREMIUM PRICE THE FIRST TIME...CRY ONLY ONCE")

I kept the little strip of paper in my wallet until it fell apart. That simple saying has saved me a lot of self imposed grief and has been a running joke among my friends and family because we say it out loud in broken English (the way it was written) when we need a reminder to do the difficult thing first or pay the premium price and get it over with instead of trying to get out of it and end up paying twice or having to do it again the right way, later.

For example, when I ordered my new truck a few years ago, I was tempted to cut costs by not getting exactly what I wanted. My wife said in broken English "Pay Plemium Plice Firs Time...Cly Onry Once". So I did, and she was right...I wouldn't have been happy with it all these years if I'd have cut corners.

The excuse given was that even after Armageddon, the printing facilities would be needed in order to educate those who are resurrected during the 1,000 years reign of Christ.

Educate them about what? Wasn't the education work one of teaching the Bible and it's warning of what was in store for mankind? If Armageddon has come and gone, why not just get on with the business of living and do whatever it was Adam and Eve would be doing had things not gone wrong.

Besides, won't the Bible and all of the tons of literature and videos they've already produced still be around for anyone who needs a refresher course? They've covered every possible Bible subject a hundred times over. And if so, why would it take a thousand years? It's not that complicated. The complicated part of trying to figure out if it was real or not, would have been resolved.

What a hoax !

Oh I see, so if you swing down to the local hardware store to buy a new mower, it will probably come with a solar panel so that you can recharge it overnight.

This law follows Newsom’s 2020 executive order that prohibits the sale of all gas-powered vehicles by 2035.

Yes that's exactly what I mean and by all means make sure you actually do "swing" down to the hardware store, for god's sake don't drive there unless you have an electric vehicle. If you do happen to live in California, make sure you swing down there before the "ban" takes effect but until then you can carry on shouting at kids to get off your lawn and continue polluting and making noise as if you are still in the 1950's when the air was still clean, supplies seemed unlimited and we didn't know any better.

Question: Where are people getting the power to charge the lawnmower?

With todays technology, when pugged into a solar panel, a lawn mower battery would charge in about 4-6 hours or 3 hours in a regular home outlet. A larger solar panel would make it quicker. Hopefully one day (by 2035) batteries will be more efficient and eco friendly and wind or solar power will be available to cover the vehicles and equipment that once were gasoline powered.

What Should Have Been Their "Surname" or "Last Name"?

by titch in

ok, folks, so here's my question.

now then, assuming that you believe that there was an actual first man and a first woman, as the bible propounds, that had the name of "adam" and "eve" (as we have called them, in the english language) well, what do you think that their surname or last name would have been, or should have been?

that is, if they had surnames way back then, in the so-called "beginning" of human existence?

A couple of years ago I read that because of the increase of electrical vehicles on the road and the anti smog devices on gas powered vehicles, the smog created by lawn equipment in Los Angeles, will soon surpass the smog created by the tens of thousands of vehicles on the road there.

2035 is quite a way off and maybe this will be a motivating factor in battery powered equipment being improved so that it become come more efficient/ practical. Or perhaps there will soon be power mowers and blowers with anti smog equipment.

The "Regular Pioneer" title has now become a total joke

by pistolpete in

we just had our co visit a few weeks ago.

apparently, he was encouraging all who could to regular pioneer, to at least try it out for a year.

because of this, we had a few people in our hall become one.. so this weekend we were on zoom service, and the sister that was just appointed was talking about it.

Remember the "experiences" at the assemblies of Pioneers who were about to quit pioneering but miraculously at the last minute found a $20 in the pocket of an old coat, or found the perfect part time"pioneering" job or ran into somebody who was giving away a car. And of course there was always someone who threatened to quit their full time job and because they were such an outstanding employee, their boss gave them a better and higher paying part time job. Surely Jehovah had a hand it all of this and will do the same today.
