.... heck ... I could even rent a motorized crane!

...or an ACME catapult, but we all know that never works out well ...

.... heck ... I could even rent a motorized crane!

I dunno ....
If I was living in Guatamala, Honduras or Mexico, and I heard that Brandon was giving out $145,000 for each child that was temporarily separated from me when I illegally came to the United States, and then fly me to Florida all expenses paid, I would get a bowling ball bag with toothbrush and a change of clothes, get to the Mexican/USA border, stopping only at the Mexican equivalent of Home Depot to buy two 40 foot ladders and some duct tape, and 100 ft. of rope ......
The inmates are running the asylum ... it would be immoral not to.

More effective than any wall Trump ever could have dreamt up. And free, too.

If the society begins to use pronouns not found in the bible, I quit.

Even people with limited or non-existent qualities of virtue, honor, good judgement, or propriety have the natural right of self defense.
When the Nazis tried to take over the Earth 75 years ago, they were met on the battlefield by every manner of defending soldier that has ever been on a battlefield. Liars, thieves, bullies, adulterers, fornicators, drug dealers, drunks, crazy people, men who went to war as an excuse to kill, or rape and pillage, or any other despicable human quality ...as well as those who met the enemy for the most noble and patriotic or wholesome reasons that there ever could be.
When two despicable, immoral, bigoted racist people meet in mortal conflict, the fact that one is scum of the earth, and the other is a low down pig is immaterial.
The only thing that matters is ... who is the aggressor and who is the defender?
Laws of tribes, peoples, and nations vary ... but all things that live ..... if they can manage it .... have the NATURAL right to defend themselves .... if they choose to exercise that natural right.
A Jury of 18 heard the testimony, and a jury of 12 selected decided Rittenhouse was attacked FIRST, and defended himself as any reasonable man would have done.
.... and irregardless of his moral character, philosophy, politics or choice of "friends" ... he had an absolute natural RIGHT to do so.
 

Of course not .... Jesus is a name commonly shared with about 20% of folks who mow lawns.
However, it is commonly pronounced "Hey-Zeus".

For about 12 years I followed the price of the book “Lord Love A Duck“, and it was $400 a copy and up, but one day I found a used bookstore where I got a copy for $26.
….. an interesting read …. I now see why they made a movie from the book ……. One more box checked off on my bucket list.
 

….. Sounds like radiation poisoning to me.

…… Add that to the scripture it says the elements being intensely hot will melt and I think somebody somewhere has missed something.

God's Sacred and Holy Name...
Beautiful isn't it? How do you react when seeing God's Sacred and Holy Name? Are you overcome with a wondrous and overwhelming awe? If you were to enter into a Personal Relationship with someone whom you deemed special or important, what is the first thing you would want to know about that Person? What is Your Name?
Think about it, how well could you build a personal and intimate relationship with someone if you don't even know their name? The Bible states, "Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you indecisive ones." (James 4:8) Notice it requires action on your part, first? The Bible is like a mirror, it reflects your thoughts and inner person, the person you really are. "For the word of God is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any two-edged sword and pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints from the marrow, and is able to discern thoughts and intentions of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12)
Question: If you met someone you really like, and I mean you really want to get to know this person, the first thing you want to know is their name. The second thing you want them to know is Your Name. Right? Suppose that person doesn't care to want to know your name at all? How would you Feel? If you don't care to learn about Jehovah, then why should he care about you? But he does care about you, more than you can ever imagine. Stop hurting him.
The proof that you do care, is that you are reading this article right now. Researching the Bible, reading the articles, learning, and yes, drawing closer to God. It's a process. Jesus Christ told his followers, "No man can come to me unless the Father, who sent me, draws him, and I will resurrect him on the last day." (John 6:44) Jehovah sent his only begotten Son for you, even before you knew about God's Precious Name. "For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)
Jehovah Witnesses are proud to bear the Name of the true God, JEHOVAH. "Symʹe·on has related thoroughly how God for the first time turned his attention to the nations to take out of them a people for his name." (Acts 15:14) “"I am the One who declared and saved and made known When there was no foreign god among you. So you are my witnesses, declares Jehovah, and I am God." (Isaiah 43:12)
Slandering or belittling God's Sacred and Holy Name can be bring certain death for the abuser. "So the abuser of Jehovah’s name should be put to death without fail. The entire assembly should stone him without fail. The foreign resident should be put to death the same as the native for his abusing the Name." (Leviticus 24:16)
Here's where it really pays to study. Satan is tricky, he tries to get people from using God's Name altogether. How? By removing God's Sacred and Holy Name from the Bible. This act of not using God's Name is a grave and serious sin, a willful act. "They intend to make my people forget my name by the dreams they relate to one another, just as their fathers forgot my name because of Baʹal." (Jeremiah 23:27) The Hebrew word used in taking God's Name in vain can also mean 'emptiness' or 'void' as in making worthless, belittling, or something of little value or treat as ordinary.
Rather, God's Name is a Protection. "The name of Jehovah is a strong tower. Into it the righteous one runs and receives protection." (Proverbs 18:10) "At that time those who fear Jehovah spoke with one another, each one with his companion, and Jehovah kept paying attention and listening. And a book of remembrance was written before him for those fearing Jehovah and for those meditating on his name." (Malachi 3:16)
"During his life on earth, Christ offered up supplications and also petitions, with strong outcries and tears, to the One who was able to save him out of death, and he was favorably heard for his godly fear." (Hebrews 5:7)

.... and more to the point .... were the Dinosaurs really the first rulers of the planet?  And what was it about the Dinosaurs that warranted dropping a big rock on the Yucatan Peninsula and having a mass extinction event .... or two .... or three?
And does Bob the Dinosaur REALLY live behind the sofa, and the only reason  we don't know about it is he and his family are Nobodysaurauses?

Puppy!, I am sure glad I am not involved in all that.
This place is REALLY going to the dogs!

Sean Connery?

That being said, I can’t believe all the deceit and duplicity that goes on here. Aliases, counter-aliases—it’s enough to make a nice guy like me swear like a trooper. Which, of course, I would never do. And you call yourselves Bible people!

The question of "possessing (certain, particular) knowledge” was raised in Eden. God did not want the “knowledge of good and evil” to come into the possession of Adam and Eve. Whatever that could and should mean.
"Being knowledgeable"* could lead to processes that end in failure. Individuals and societies have a great deal of knowledge accumulated over the centuries. And now the world is facing several types of serious disasters, which some say are related to the "use of advanced knowledge" and human character. Advanced knowledge of atoms led to the atomic bomb (today it is an outdated example).
The other extreme would be in possessing a smaller range of knowledge and living “in harmony with nature”. Then there might not be catastrophes caused by the human factor, but only those catastrophes that are "normal" processes in nature itself. In the nature that is an integral part of the planet Earth, and which was created by God who actually initiated all these processes, believers would say.
Do the “believers” of any denomination have the knowledge that God by His knowledge created a planet that has volcanoes, tsunamis, earthquakes, climate changes that go from great hot to ice ages and so on? And that people will die from something at some point (with or without knowledge of it)?
"Part of the world"? We all are part of the same world, no matter of Biblical terminology and using of same terminology for theological and doctrinal reasons.  People before us left us a world as it was when we were born, and today we are creating this world as it is and we will leave it shaped according to our “knowledge” for future generations. So each individual is a “part of this world,” not the different one we would like to have in our dreams.

My bad grammar is my trademark. No one can surpass that. That is how I differ from all fake Srećko :))))

I am unaware a moniker can be considered unkind. Perhaps you can explain this?

"Lived experience" is crap. Those are just anecdotes and these mean nothing. You don't go from some anecdote or some gas you might have at the moment and conclude anything about the external world based on those kinds of things.
My "lived experience" is that apostates are massively annoying trolls who instead of trying to better their own lives just hang around people who are doing their best to do what's right and yelling "Boo!, boo!".
No one cares what apostates have to say, even people who don't like JW's despise apostates.
