I remember, years ago, the guys at work invited me to go bar hoppin' with them, but they warned me there might be a bar fight.  I replied that we all had good dental plans, and we went.

It seems as if there are no really important issues now, so the GB are making things up to keep themselves  busy. 

The GB are at LEAST totally aware of that.

They are TOTALLY DESTROYING their credibility on every subject imaginable.

THAT'S why shunning forbids people to talk to each other.

The difference between Christendom, and Muslims, if you can afford it ... is that in New York,  Christendom's parents can buy tailored bullet proof vests fro their children, and Muslims, for their kids, can buy bomb vests.

What an 8 year old Muslim Girl would do in Heaven with 72 virgins, I cannot comprehend.

As someone once told me, you wouldn't want to get your DNA and perfect genes all over the place.

Someone once said that to King Solomon, with all those wives and concubines.

He LAUGHED for a half hour.

”You can do it, Tom. You can take out the big lout JTR. Remember, he uses chain-saw logic. Distract him a little, and he will cut off his own arm.”

About 8 years go, on fine Autumn day, I had a chain saw "jump back" on me, and I cut the left hand "trigger finger " almost completely off, at the first joint. and got blood all over me, my clothes and shoes, and the chain saw. 

I stuck it back on ... let it bleed until it stopped naturally, and wrapped it with duct tape.  It healed up perfectly, but with a slight 12 degree angle towards the  ring finger, at that finger joint.

.... while I was waiting for the blood to stop, my Son came in , and I looked at him,, held up my bloody hand and said " Tommy ... don't be stupid, like your Dad."

I am encouraged that Jellyfish have lived for 300 Million Years, with no brain whatsoever.

Alright alright, so it is. 

But it is also like what Slow Joe said to Davey the Kid after the latter delivered an absolutely stellar talk:

The tough-as-nails counselor said: “So...I am giving you a ‘G’..............but next time it may not BE that way.” 

True ... but based on past experience, the probability is about ( 1 divided by 163 = 0.6%) less than 1 percent.

Yeah John ... don't rush the guy.

He is still flummoxed by the 163 questions I asked him in the past three years, that he did not answer.

And how many pages and pages did it take for you to finally admit that I was exactly right about Sarah and the Terminator?

If you didn’t obfuscate so much, you’d have an answer to every one of your petulant questions by now.

So folks, here at halftime, the score is JTR ,163  .....  TTH, 1 .

At the end of the game, the loser has to blow up the game balls with a straw.

You toss a plastic item of waste into the grass and or sea you pay for it. You put toxic gases into the heavens, your lungs and health will most likely pay for it.

It is my understanding that plastic, as used in this conversation, is made from oil, and is a long chain molecule hydrocarbon.  I have used plastic liners to line the bottoms of municipal garbage dumps before filling, and radioactive waste burial sites, where the liners are expected to last AT LEAST 10,000 years.

Space Merchant:

Please tell me how waste plastic gets from the solid object, into the atmosphere, and what toxic gasses contaminate from that contaminate the air we breathe.

If there are any, my guess would be the outgassing concentrations would be so small as to be almost un-measurable, and that being anywhere in the vicinity of a car with the motor running ... burning hydrocarbons .... would be several hundred BILLION  times more dangerous.

If you can get Grant money, and have a mortgage payment overdue, I suspect you would be surprised what cases can be made for anything or any viewpoint imaginable.

One thing I have learned in this life, is that if a person is not able to explain something in his own words, succinctly, and clearly ... and with as few a words as possible, the likelihood of whatever he is TRYING to propose as "truth", diminishes greatly .... and the more arcane, general references used to support that idea, or those ideas, the probability of whatever it is being true rapidly diminishes to  approach zero.

Your post, above, reminds me of the guy walking down a street in the business district of New York City,  waving his hands and arms and yelling incoherent religious nonsense to the air.  

As a joke, I thought about getting TWO of them, and handcuffing them together.

If you are not ALREADY in New York City, you may want to stay clear.

TTH:

Contrary to your own personal belief, acquaintance with what is inside a box of Band-Aids, does not qualify you to have profound surgical opinions.

Except of course ... in your world of fantasy.

The Kavanaugh hearings also ought to have made clear that the lauded impartiality of the world’s justice system is but a bad joke. Law is not the issue. One’s interpretation of law is the issue and that is forged in emotion which is forged in one’s personal experience.

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?

Since you COMPLETELY avoided my simple, straightforward question I will state that once again you have stated a strong opinion about which you know nothing at all.

You are one super scary dude, dude.

There was a young sister who wore an embarrassingly tight dress once, my wife and I felt sorry for her and wondered how her parents didn't notice.  We weren't the only ones shaking our heads.  It happens, move on. 

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 can understand - and enjoy seeing - delegates wearing their national dress at conventions when that attire is still typical in their country, eg Africa, India.  What I have found weird is the donning of antiquated folk costumes such as lederhosen and that shown above, especially if it's not even an international assembly.

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.

 

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

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!

Brett Kavanaugh was allowed to be angry. Dr. Ford wasn’t. Women grow up hearing that being angry makes us unattractive.

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.

@James Thomas Rook Jr. Let’s try to not attack the person. I hope she means well.  

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.
