    It would not be surprising how some would want to take her out into the Kingdom Hall parking lot, and have her CRUSHED, by the 350 pound Sisters.

    I understand that TPT (Tight Pants Tony) is particularly "bothered" by Brothers in tight pants, so we should not stumble him with such outrageous displays of human depravity such as lederhosen. He kinda lives in a bubble, and who knows how it might affect him. Â

    ... somebody must have it on video tape .... and this is "cover".

    I watched the Kananaugh Senate Hearings this past Thursday for the whole 9-1/2 or so hours, and was VERY impressed. I also watched on Friday the Committee's deliberations that moved his nomination along ... about 3 hours. I was very impressed once again. How much, TTH, did YOU ACTUALLY WATCH, to form your opinions as stated?

    I agree with the Scriptures posted here. If I was a cowboy from Texas or Oklahoma and would show up at Bethel in Levis and a Western style dress shirt and cowboy boots, would I be turned away? My guess is YES. Do you think Prince or Michael Jackson in their "native costume" dress clothes would have been turned away? My guess is NO.

    The only thing those sisters need is stars on sticks, and gossamer wings!

    It might be because TPT gets all upset when Brothers wear tight pants. The GB has a policy that anything not specifically permitted, is forbidden. Clothing should be appropriate to the activity!

    I am positive that she means well .... but her own statement shows her totally screwed up perspective and viewpoint on reality. If she thinks that's what the Kavanaugh Senate Hearing was about ( and I watched Thursday all 9-1/2 or so hours...) she has more problems ... than my opinion. Most of the damage in the real world is caused by well meaning people. They INTEND to rule wisely, but regardless ... they intend to rule.

    Elizabeth Warren, "Pocahontas" is so divorced from reality, I have to turn away in embarrassment for her.

    I will watch it for 78 cents, delivered to my door, when it comes out on Netflix, in a few months.

    It takes a concerted strategic effort and about 50 years to teach a whole culture very simple concepts. Oh... and by the way, "carbon footprints" are totally meaningless. Atmospheric CO2 is where the trees and algae in the Oceans get the carbon to make wood, cellulose, sugars and plant fiber. The ONLY REAL "Greenhouse Gas" is water vapor ...... clouds. All else is a quasi-religious Carbon Credit Broker's fabulously profitable fantasy. Even with a global thermonuclear war, you could not change the climate for more than four years.

    Actually, I agree with you on that one. There is no other rational explanation among intelligent, thinking people. The LORD knows that, and I know that ... otherwise they would have been laughed off the stage a long time ago. The clueless ATTRACT the clueless .... but with Google, it has reached a critical time when people in general are getting smarter ... and it is a REAL problem. A VERY real problem in credibility, but not among the clueless, AS THE MONEY KEEPS ROLLING IN .... no matter WHAT is said or done. Think I am exaggerating? Here are two classic examples for your review. Sami - I would appreciate your review and considered opinion of what you are hearing here from the Governing Body. 2 CHAIR pORNEA .mp4 Lett on Gravity, Electricity, wind .mp4

    Sami: Since you misunderstand EVERYTHING ... I will quote you the words of fictional wise sage Lex Luthor, played by Gene Hackman in the first Superman Movie, circa 1978. Chewing gum wrapper.mp4

    Is this the project at Warwick where they had to replace the building concrete foundations three times because it was contaminated ( ? ) with metals from the previous land owner? When I first looked at the photo, I thought the BUILDING was Jehovah's Organization (earthly) about to crush the car. Now ... I cannot "unsee" it that way.

    What is a zapper sticker?

    I remember a study done years ago by "distinguished scientists" who were testing to see if steaks cooked on a charcoal grill produced carcinogens. They grilled the steaks, swabbed them with Q-tips, and took samples, etc. and determined that ... yes... the heat and smoke and meat did produce carcinogens that caused cancer. ... then they ate the steaks. That told me all I needed to know. If you had ANY IDEA how fish are caught and stored BEFORE they even get back to shore, you may want to eat the chicken. Oh Wait! Nevermind. I love shrimp, and eat a lot of it at the buffet. You know, of course that the black stripe on their backs is shrimp poop? Owls eat mice ... hair, teeth, eyeballs, fur dirt and bacteria, and all the mouse poop inside of them ... AND OWLS CAN FLY!

    ...so..... WHAT'S NEXT! When you can make arbitrary fashion decisions, it opens up a pandora's box of absurd excesses. It is a cliff that that the people behind you pushing, will push you OFF of. Â Â

    Should we make the Brothers and Sisters who won the genetic lottery, the ones who are handsome and beautiful, beat themselves in the face with a steel rod until they resemble the rest of us ... and the ones who CAN wear standard body type attractive clothing wear frumpy and dumpy clothing instead? They ALREADY want the children's ice-cream money .... and use cartoons to get it! What's next?
  19. James Thomas Rook Jr.
    Perhaps I have missed something ... but I thought everybody in this picture was dressed appropriately ... even though the Brother in the Tan suit looked afraid he was about to become a hand puppet. The Brother in the above picture, on the left with the pale blue shirt has his shirt sleeves partially rolled up ... is that it? Is that the problem? Â Â

    I think this is the crux of the matter. In an Engineering Office, you know when a client's project has been totally screwed up and gone over budget ... when management starts stressing the dress code of suits and ties for all employees ... as if that will impress an over billed client that the Engineering Firm's management are competent. This is based on the idea that the client is SO STUPID that they will think clowns stop being clowns because they have changed costumes. I was working on a project in Cincinnati, Ohio ... 945 people in two large four-story buildings ... when the client we were doing work for locally and all the way to China, got fed up with TRYING to be taken for a fool, and fired our firm.  In 30 days it went from 945 people to less than 30 people, and within a year they had to close the office. Everybody in the office knew what the problem really was ... EXCEPT MANAGEMENT.

    I am a big fan of women's Ferengi fashions. But not for Ferengi women. QUARK: Would somebody please tell me what's going on? ISHKA: It's one of those good news bad news type of things. Give them the good news first. ZEK: If you insist. Three days ago, I added a new amendment to the Ferengi Bill of Opportunities giving females the right to wear clothes. ROM: In public? ISHKA: Anywhere we want. QUARK: That can't be the good news. If Ferengi females can wear clothes in public, then they can leave their homes. If they can leave their homes, they can go to work. If they can go to work, they can make profit. ISHKA: What's the matter, Quark? Afraid of a little competition?

    I OFTEN wonder, looking at that picture, if a smart artist on the Bethel staff is trying to illustrate .... and for those that are not clueless, successfully so, .... how totally goofy and cringeworthy some of what corporate thinking is actually like. ... someone with an outrageous sense of humor with complete impunity, slipping "inside jokes" past the totally clueless editorial staff .

    The thing about fashion is that some people look better in one type of clothes than another. Why it works the way it does is a mystery to me, but I realize it as a valid phenomenon. If it was up to me I would wear Levis, and a blue long sleeve dress shirt without a tie EVERYWHERE, including the Meetings. I change clothes about every three days, but it does not appear that I do. To those that see me everyday, it appears I never change clothes. Comfort fit Levis, dark blue long sleeve permanent press dress shirt open collar, red t-shirt, red wide "fireman's" suspenders AND a belt, and tan suede shows with no socks. Everyday. Exactly the same. I KNOW it looks dorky to fashionistas, but it works for me! If I had a LOT of money, it would be totally acceptable at the Meetings. ("Oh...he's just ECCENTRIC ...") Underneath I have bare skin, which is very helpful in keeping my insides ... in. Superman had the same problem ... same outfit, everyday ... day in and day out ... week after week ... year after year ... but his shirt tail kept popping out, and when he bent over he showed his butt crack, so early in life he realized he needed to wear a cape, or sell advertising space. I personally saw NOTHING wrong with the way anyone in this illustration was dressed.  It does look like the Brother in the tan suit is afraid that the Brother in the light blue shirt has just put a "KICK ME" sign on his back, or he is afraid of becoming a hand puppet. Just remember this basic Congregational rule about proper dress ... "If it's neat and clean, and well arranged and modest .... hides your fat, and for Sisters, if it looks cheap and frumpy ... it's acceptable". Years ago I was at a District Assembly at Hampton Roads Coliseum, and through my binoculars noticed the DO and key speaker had fluorescent yellow patent leather mirror finish shoes. I do not know anywhere in the world you could even buy shoes like that ... and 50 years later, STILL don't know. My only objection about the following picture is that the "tight pants"are UGLY, and it appears you would need side leg zippers up to your knees to get them on and off. .... perhaps to get your feet through the pants legs you have to temporarily remove the feet. With the Brothers outrageous and ugly haircut and mismatched shoes, and clown socks, it is quite clear that he was DELIBERATELY dressed and groomed for the photo to be as repulsive as possible Of course.

    Never happen. The cost of a 55 mile long bridge through arctic waters 150 feet deep would be staggering ... hundreds of billions of dollars, and to what benefit? Completely unusable in the winter, and the weather and waves and ice would be as effective as dynamite.

    This same thing happened with ancient civilizations that lasted billions of years on the Earth, before the dinosaurs, and as the entire civilization was subducted below the shifting tectonic plates, their waste products like this, many miles thick, under heat and pressure, became the oil that we use today to power OUR civilization. ...just kidding about that (squints and rubs hands together "Or AM I?.....) It looks like this pile of floating trash is ALREADY becoming an island of organic plant life of some kind, which of course will become habitats for all kinds of marine animal life. Put a pile of trash like this in your back yard and wait a year, and it will be full of leaves, grass, worms, bugs, spiders, and may even attract a few frogs or two. Look carefully at the photos .... This is an unsubstantiated goofy, tree-hugger opinion ONLY. It's embarrassing to even read, and even more embarrassing that people BELIEVE it. This may look like trash to the folks who wrote this article, but to marine critters it's shade, a place to eat and live, or a place for baby fish to hide, just like you see in the grass you buy for a a home aquarium, so they will not be eaten by bigger fish.
