    Pudgy reacted to JW Insider in Flooding in Sochi, Russia   
    In the Sochi video, the following picture appears:

    This one is from 0:22 seconds in, where a taxi driver (?) opens his door to get out of the car. That was the Sochi, Russia video. This next one is from the 1:22 point in the China video, which you also provided here: https://www.theworldnewsmedia.org/topic/90025-china-river-overflows-china-city-disappears-and-a-flood-hits-zhong-county-in-chongqing/

     
    I get the feeling that both floods happened and both were disastrous. (Although you can get more visitors if you hype up the title to make it even more disastrous.) But there is often very little reporting footage available when a flood has just happened a few hours earlier. So YouTube channels and news sites that are anxious to pretend they have the most up-to-date reporting will splice in footage from all the similar floods they can find, even using footage from previous floods that go back several years. (It's not just YouTube, of course. Major news organizations have been caught doing the same thing.)

    ….. Which of course would mean that “Gog of Magog” is really Lawrence Welk, or some other polka-Geist, and when Armageddon starts you will hear accordion “Lady of Spain”!

    @TrueTomHarleyDoesn't she realize how obsessively neurotic she appears? Even a worldly person would tell her she should get a life and that no one is listening. Can't apostates realize that they simply aren't needed any more? If anyone wants to find a catalog of errors w/regard to the WTBS or wants to find more apostate smut to get thrilled by, the internet is packed w/that crap. Now it's all just the background noise made by a degrading transformer.

    And yet, Peter Carroll, Here You Are, reading what they write …. 
    …. and they are reading your replies.….. and BroRando is adding his “like”  💙 to your reply.
    If you saw the 1980’s movie “War Games” you would understand that being here at all is a rough analogy to Global Thermonuclear War Games simulations.
    As the WOPR computer stated … “The only way to win, is not play”.
    And yet, Peter Carroll, Here You Are!

    Not only engaged. All but married. (To be sure, not happily married) What prompted the change? The position of the earthly organization is not new.

    I wrote your answer above the line.  The rest of what I wrote was for anyone.  
    The answer is yes.

    I don’t read citations either.
    it’s hard work, but the burden of proof is with a coherent self contained …. SHORT …. arguement.

    I ask you a “yes or no” question.
    You answer with 16 paragraphs.
    I have to guess if that means yes, or no.

    Very quick response, proving you didn't read the scriptures provided.

    I put it first on my own blog. It’s also in TTvtA.
    It didn’t carry the day with that Reddit bunch, but then they ARE a hostile crowd. And even I have to admit those mannerisms do take getting used to, regardless of their origin. I think we have to drop back to Pudgy’s comment:
    Coming from cynical Pudgy, this is extraordinary praise, the equivalent of ‘Stellar’ from anyone else. 
    It may be just an example of God ‘laughing at the wisdom of this systems’s wise ones,’ proof that his anointed are, as in the first century, seldom of ‘noble birth,’ nor ‘wise,’ but decidedly ‘uneducated and ordinary.’
    I’ll take substance over style any day. Turn on the TV and you can see endless people whose ‘style’ is impeccable. Among them are some of the stupidest people whom God ever let roam the earth.

    A few months ago, I looked up "Stephen Lett" together with "Bells Palsy" in Google to see if I could find anything on this. I found out that TTH had presented an article about Stephen Lett called Let us Appreciate Stephen Lett (https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/96dllz/let_us_appreciate_stephen_lett/)
    The article was from 4 years ago, and there was a later edit from TTH which said:
    Edit: It turns out that Brother Lett has grappled with Bell's palsy, which paralizes facial muscles on the affected side, and as part of rehab, he got into the habit of exagerated facial movements, a habit that stuck, or is perhaps even still advisable. The elder telling me this said, when I pressed him, that he had it "on good authority." Knowing him, I rate it as probably a 90% chance. So you never know. You just don't.
     
    Even before locating that, I had already clicked on another much more recent comment in reddit that said:
     
    According to what I read he had Bells Palsy and his exaggerated facial expressions were acquired over time in response to trying to overcome the nerve damage.
     
    I don't know if that more recent comment had been picked up through TTH's comments, or if it was from an independent source.
  20. Thanks

    @WitnessI'll make it simple. In order for anyone to be convinced that you're capable of learning anything new about the bible, you have to state what you don't know and then go from there until you have some idea. Then you submit the same to others and see if they see the same thing or if you aren't reading things into scripture which aren't really there.
    Take for example the trumpet blasts in the book of revelation. I know the current arguments from the society about these, but these don't work for me. I say to myself "A convention!?". Now I know the book of acts highlighted the anointing w/holy spirit on an arguably tiny number in a what the world would consider an inconsequential location, however this event IS part of the Bible, and for these and other facts I believe it was in fulfillment of scripture.
    These trumpet blasts of revelation having their fulfillment in some conventions just doesn't have the same gravitas as pentecost, so I take the interpretations as speculation, not definitive fact.
    So I say openly, that I'm not quite sure about any of that and I'm hopeful that with more study whatever I can learn about this will become clear over time.
    You don't waste your time puffing yourself up as if you're needed to rescue people from some (in your view) false ideas.
    Work on yourself.
    I don't need to read much of what you spew, because it's the same old crap. You appear (I was going to say ARE) to be so incredibly full of yourself. Who else do we know who doesn't know how to be brief? Anyone who can't be brief needs to learn how.
    TLDR is what people do with people who can't do that. Now Pudgy is great because he doesn't take himself seriously, but he does take ideas seriously and intersperses the same with humor - a great teaching tool. I think Jehovah is much more likely to listen to his prayers than a bloviating pharisee (whose chief complaint is that they aren't the HEAD pharisee)

    No one has a coherent and believable narrative on the whole book of revelation. At critical points it all goes crazy conspiracy theory.

    Instead of insulting people here you don't like, why not apply those text to yourselves. Like that commentator Tom said, don't make it about others, make it about you, and stop playing these senseless games to have someone you don't like removed.
    All of you should be ashamed of yourselves, especially when treating people you don't know with disrespect.
    NOW, THE TOPIC IS ABOUT GEORGE BENSON.

    (Galatians 6:4, 5) 4 But let each one examine his own actions, and then he will have cause for rejoicing in regard to himself alone, and not in comparison with the other person. 5 For each one will carry his own load.
    That one has a verse for it, too, maybe a few:
    (Deuteronomy 5:16) . . .so that you may live a long time and you may prosper . . .
    (Deuteronomy 5:33) . . .that you may live and prosper and prolong your days. . .
    (Acts 15:29) . . .you will prosper. Good health to you!”
    (3 John 2) . . .that in all things you continue to prosper and enjoy good health. . .

    No fair at all, but neither is life. Down they go. It’s possible to establish such a cantankerous reputation, even resurrecting oneself from preview banishments to do so, to earn frequent flyer miles on the ‘In&Out’ Airline. Behave, tone down rancor, compare yourself with yourself only, not with other people (isn’t there a verse on that somewhere?) and you will yet live long and prosper.
