Thinking

Next to Rhysling Crater on Earth’s Moon is a smaller Impact site called Pudgy Crater. It’s a fascinating story how each got its name, and on one of the NASA Moon missions, the Astronauts jeopardized the mission, so they could have the “bragging rights” that they had seen Rhysling Crater with their own eyes.
For obvious reasons there is no Laika Crater, rest her gentle soul, but having full and complete knowledge of all of the above is and should be of only casual interest, BECAUSE, since there is no way knowing or not knowing about this fully ….. or not at all ….. can affect whether or not at some future time we get bayoneted, or not.
Same thing with KON, KOS, G, and MG.
 
Like Rosanne Rosanadana used to say, “If it ain’t one thing …. It’s another.  
 
It’s always somethin’.”
 
 

Russia assisted Armenia in the war against  Azerbaijan - it was over in one week. The drones Azerbaijan received from Turkey decimated the army equipment of the Armenians received from Russia.
I see now that Ukraine has Turkish and American drones - which can actually fly higher than those of Turkey.

No one here has a political side. 
That being said, you asked for [A] Qanon a while back on here, [B] as is used the NYT Times, as is, [C] another article to a the Woke's narrative of Inclusiveness, and a slew of other things on your pervious tenure as John Butler. The fact that you give remark to these things, as is mentions of Law and the like, in the past, despite this, you have no political side, you are neutral, as with most here, expect Jack, who actually has a political side he leans on.
That being said, as mentioned you buy bread, it does not make you part of the Global Monopoly, vs Darth Klaus who is, at the same time hold political views. Even as a neutral, whatever Boris Johnson does aka Bojo, it will effect you, and if it comes to it, can put any EU affiliate at risk. Therefore, the land and their politics, no one has to take a side, however, these authorities, their actions, can still effect the people, therefore, you can have concerns and take action if needed. The British dodged a bullet recently.
It is kind of sad though, that the paradigm, even in the UK, sheds its influence on the unaware...
 

@Srecko Sostar They haven't stopped preaching, from what I know they are secluded to letters and phone calls, the physical act of going from home to home ceased because of the rise of mandates and restrictions placed on all States, especially the Blue states. Outside of JWs, there were some who tried to preach without taking precaution, some caught COVID-19, even died from it, so to speak, however, it is noted that people can be ignorant and do not tread their steps wisely.

There is no ban, there are restrictions, then there are the laws in place, in which, if you forgotten, Christians show respect to some laws and the like in the land and or county they are in. Mind you, when counties place these things, everyone is abided by it until loosen. The ignorant paid the price for it though early on and became a systematic statistic.

Mersheimer is excellent to listen too…his very latest update on the situation is spot on……so is Hanson….common sense speaking 
 

God of Magog is NOT the King of the North - it is the total coalition of nations who will turn against Jehovah. 
This above scenario may happen now but on other hand  it may take some time and then Russia will out with all its forces when Jehovah feels the time is right (messages from east and north). 
We are inching closer!  I think they will make announcements  to the globe....to create peace and security.  They want to WHO in control of the UN and get all nations to sign.  
 

I actually dont know who you are or what your experience is with Jehovah’s Witness as a people….but this is a  wrong understanding you have…..anybody would help to get everyone of the plane you speak about.,.if they didn’t they would be blood guilty…but I can tell you now…if I was on that plane I would get my son of first and get my grandkids of and then turn my attention to every other person…as I hope every catholic or Buddhist would.
I like to think I would do that even if I was a atheists…and I know many atheists would do that…..
I would like to ask you were there any Catholics standing there with a Poster to direct their followers…we’re there baptists…maybe there were other faiths and i did not see them….I’m sure behind the scenes other faiths may be helping their believers and sheltering them.
But  Cudos to those brothers and sisters who had the guts to stand there freezing on the edge of war…to identify themselves so blatantly.
As to my comment being typical of watchtower writing committee…well then they have it right..tho I did not consult them in my answer as I did not have to…my comment was a humane comment…and knowing the brothers around me…you seem desperate to find fault with JWs….Mathew you will find many…and I would not defend our errors…I acknowledge them and the pain caused by them…but when the chips are down..we put aside some very serious problems and dig in and work together as one…some here refuse to acknowledge that because it would undermine their hatred of us as a people…….and we do also help our neighbors…..over the last years I have noticed the brothers emphasizing and teaching us to be kind to all and to help our neighbors weather believers or not.
Your words may..and I stress may..have had some weight…in years gone by……..but not for some years now….credit must be acknowledge where it is due.

Well of course. So you should. But the point is, you would help your loved ones FIRST.

As of recent, there might be other folks coming to the doors of people that are not Mormon or JWs. As stated a few days ago, the Wild Beast made a subtle move, just be vigilant. It may even hinder you JWs also.

By the recommendation and insistence of the United States Government. Are you suggesting the Watchtower violate those instructions like the Catholic, Evangelical, Protestants Orthodox, etc. do to get people back inside their churches and MEGA churches with no regards to safety, and possibly, death? Shouldn't church leaders think about the "safety" of its members? Like for the safety and welfare of our members to reduce the risk of infecting a dangerous virus that causes death, we will continue with ZOOM until conditions improve, and Oh! Yeah, those religions don't go door to door, either, to infect the public.

Jehovahs people are very organized in what they do and how they preach…we do not pray for the spirit to lead us to a certain door as some do. We cannot read hearts and must give everyone an opportunity…or a fair go at least of some spiritual food.
When there is a hurricane we do not go out but instead bunker down as the rest of the world does…when their are floods we make preparations to combat those devastating waters..we do not go swimming or surf boarding amongst it…..when there are raging uncontrollable fires we take cover for the duration……when there is a unknown virus circulating the world that nobody seems to know anything about and all reports from so called health experts paint as the plague ….we bunker down and try to not infect or spread this unknown virus and take precautions just as all our neighbors and In fact the world does and did…and take care with our own loved ones just as the rest of the world does.
As you well know we are a organized people and don’t do things like the preaching work in a helter  Skelton  manner..we are 8 1/2 million strong ..a huge people from many cultures and world wide…so hence we need to have a earthly captain at the head of the ship so as not to act in a irresponsible manner in these sorts of conditions …As you well know The GB made that decision and the sake of peace and safety all witnesses followed thru…..why do you ask sereko…have you started going door to door…may I ask who told  YOU to stop..or did you listen to mere men and not follow what in your dear heart was right…..and follow Christ lead in the preaching work..at that and this time …..are you now doing the door to door work.????…and if you are not..may I ask…again….WHO TOLD YOU TO STOP..?

These bureaucrats are not the ones who benefit - they are just willing foot-soldiers who benefit because they are obedient to the dictates of those who are in control of all the money / corporations - who have formed a  coalition with the UN. (The get their good salaries and stability).  As we speak WHO is becoming the most important body in the UN and America has signed to give them total control..... I have not seen if other countries have joined.  If you see something, let me know. 

…… perhaps this might be a good time to review the series of Mel Gibson’s “MAD MAX” movies ……

Some more conjecture from my side. The American dollar is sure to fall and they need a reason for it.  This war could provide the opportunity.  (This war could become another Afghanistan for Russia... linger on... until they make a treaty with UN fanfare).
There are two poles to what is happening in the world.  King of North and South.  They push until the END it seems BUT king of North and its allies will control the wealth. 
42  And he will keep thrusting out his hand against the lands; and as regards the land of Egypt, she will not escape. 43  And he will rule over the hidden treasures of gold and silver and over all the desirable* things of Egypt   “But reports out of the east* and out of the north will disturb him, and he will go out in a great rage to annihilate and to devote many to destruction. 45  And he will plant his royal* tents between the grand sea and the holy mountain of Decoration;*r and he will come all the way to his end, and there will be no helper for him.  ( These reports are from Jehovah and Jesus at the right time when the South has progressed enough to prove that it is the debased DRAGON the bible says it is.
In the West they will bring in their new money system - which is also a surveillance system ... thousands of satellites are being put in the heavens above as we speak. Those who do not obey the new system will be put in prison?  Does this sound crazy?  I do not think so.  That kind of power can go to a person's head. 
So as we do not take sides in this war - we are aware of what is coming and should prepare for it.

Just watched him addressing his people….he explained it clearly and seemed to sigh and have the weight of his actions on his shoulders….what a mess man has made…

If only the average person understood…frightening !

I understand..I just watched his address to his nation…not good…so if he is the King  of the North…or Part off..and he comes all the way to his end…..what happens with the king of the south?
In other words how is this going to play out..I’m actually surprised Putin has let it go this far but then he is on Jehovahs time table and not his…

On one of the islands during the gulag period there was NO food.  People first ate young children and then the soft parts of women.  Family ties were totally forgotten...  Humans who do not believe in god become savages. The German people still walk around with psychological wounds because of what happened in Germany duting WW2.  What they do not realize is that whole of mankind is badly flawed and it is only by God's grace that people can resist and show self-restraint to not go along with the crowd who have the power to do these things. 

...all I have to say is that being able to block some posters is like having someone run ahead of you on a walk or a run and bag up all the garbage before you get there.
