“If you kids don’t stop whining back there I’m going to stop this car and give you something to whine about!” my dad would holler on long trips. At the time I thought he was mean. But as time goes by I’ve come to appreciate that sometimes that’s exactly the right answer to give.

This is why one pub wisely said something to the effect that the reason we don't know how it's going to be or even how any of it is possible is because if we knew we might be put off by it in our messed up state. Better to just know who's doing the inviting and let it go at that.

...that reminds me...if we're supposed to accept the kingdom like little children, does that also follow that every five minutes we can whine "how many more miles is it?"...and "are we there yet? I'm hungry!"...."I have to pee!"

If John the Baptist is resurrected on Earth, perhaps he will prefer to live under a rock, wear discarded clothing, and walk around eating locusts and stuff.….. and then one day he will turn a corner, and there, in the parking lot, will be an Airstream Travel Trailer!

Then, Bigfoot and “… turtles, all the way down!”.

Next subject the Twin Towers 

I hope you were joking. 
If not, you are one scary dude!

I know that … the percentage improves dramatically if you pay for admission, and have had four or five beers!

Yeah, like that pinko David foisting his ‘share equally’ plan upon the ‘bad and worthless’ men:
However, every bad and worthless man among those who had gone with David said: “Since they did not go with us, we will not give them any of the spoil that we recovered except that each one may take his wife and his sons and go away.”  23 But David said: “You must not do this, my brothers, with what Jehovah has given us. He protected us and gave into our hand the marauder band that came against us.  24 Who would agree with you on this? The share of the one who went down into the battle will be the same as the share of the one who sat by the baggage. All will have a share.  1 Samuel 30:22-24.    
Sometimes you have to reign in your bad and worthless men.
Often I would say of the LDC bro in our congregation, “yeah—don’t kid yourselves. Pete’s gonna make us all live in dormitories.”

Have you ever wondered how many of our number are jealous socialist commies at heart?
Good thing we're politically neutral while the some of the ones who aren't emotionally neutral  (low-hour poor meeting attending publishers) imagine a socialist-commie kingdom govt while all the rest of us decent humble folk (folks who know how to take counsel and don't whine all the time) realize if we want figs and houses, we'll have to plant them ourselves and build them ourselves and not just get some kingdom govt. EBT cards and free-loader housing.
 

 
 

Walter;
It is so painfully obvious that you are trying so desperately to exalt yourself by tearing down others, it’s embarrassing to watch.
Why don’t you just quit that, and be a normal person like the rest of us are trying to be?
Get a sense of humor! Be happy!
Sincerely,
Pudgy

“I alone can fix this?”
No, I guess not.

Well from now on pudgy you can now and go get jumped on….I’m done  with ya !!

It does not really matter who said it - it is true. 

You know Wally, I don’t think you have EVER COMMENTED, without deliberately insulting, slandering or lying about someone.

My parents bought me a 20 volume Encyclopedia before I could read, but I gravitated to those 25 cent hardboard covered children's books popular in the early 50s.

“The Killing Fields” is available on EBay for about $11, from many sources. “… Rabbit Fence …” in trade paperback about $5, and DVD for about $7.
The two Clint Eastwood produced movies, one from the American, and one from the Japanese perspective I also consider “must see”, and of course … “Schindler’s List”.

No, it’s true! They paid $400 for the 20 volume set of encyclopedias, when among our contemporaries, that was a month’s pay!

I was profoundly saddened by the 1984 movie “The Killing Fields“ about the escape of a Cambodian from Cambodia during the Vietnam war evacuation. The Cambodian actor, who won an Academy award for his performance, played himself in the movie. Later on, after surviving incredible hardship and death, he moved to Los Angeles where he was killed in a robbery.

…. Could be worse.
If a person can type Tourette’s syndrome … can they spread Covid-19 on a Zoom call?

Surely this is not true???
