Apparently the only one that knows "jack" ... is Jack ...and that's the fact, Jack! In the August 2018 Watchtower, on page 3, the theme is "Do you have all the Facts?" and the Scripture in Proverbs 18:13 is specifically cited "When anyone replies to a matter before he hears the facts, it is foolish and humiliating." ... work worthy of an ex-United States Marine, and a top CIA analyst named Jack Ryan, and a credit to his creator ... Tom Clancy. Stripes_ That's The Fact Jack.mp4 I do think it is an abominable shame that this important information is actually DELIBERATELY kept secret from the Brothers and Sisters that actually pay the bills. This should be shown during the mid-week meetings, and on Saturdays and/or Sundays at the weekend meetings. I take two caffeine pills equivalent to four cups of coffee just before I leave for the meetings, and I STILL sleep through about half of each one. Saturday I had to poke my wife in the ribs (gently), as she had briefly snarfled a snore.  Â

Otherwise the deer might have needed a "Bambulance" Â

You know Cos .... I think of myself as a very patient man ... and I like to see people reach conclusions on their own, but after exactly NINE MONTHS to the day of discussing this subject here on this thread (September 3, 2017 to June 3, 2018, which is today), I think the "pregnant pause" is ready to get water all over the floor. There is NO SUCH THING AS MAGIC! .. at least not in this Spacetime Universe. Things don't happen because God thinks of things and they "just happen" God CAUSES things to happen, and there is a real and valid mechanism by which that happens. There is no angelic fairy fluttering around, waving a star-on-a-stick, tapping people on their shoulder, and fairy dust sparkles out, and all of a sudden someone can fly (to mix some Disney metaphors ...), or with MAGIC Pharaoh's High Priest of Ra turns his staff into a snake, and not to be outdone, Moses turns HIS staff into a bigger snake, which eats Pharaoh's snake. There are Universal Laws of how this Universe operates, and they are NEVER violated. The difference between a candle and a hydrogen bomb is merely a difference in how well you UNDERSTAND these things, and are able to manipulate the things IN this Universe. Already the Chinese are able to create entangled particles in orbit and teleport photons to stations separated by hundreds of miles on Earth, and those particles are able to communicate with each other INSTANTANEOUSLY across not only that distance, but if they were 29 billion light years apart, the communication would STILL be instantaneous ... which for those in Rio Linda, is faster than the Universal speed limit of approximately 186,000 miles per second. When Jehovah, with his Infinite (compared to us...) understanding of "how things tick", wants to effect any remote change ... in this Universe ... there is is an exchange of energy and forces that makes that change possible .... whether it is healing a lame man's legs, resurrecting the dead, or creating a dry path across the seas for Moses and 5 million people to cross. Sometimes the menu choices on the other side get a bit bland after 40 years, ... but that is another subject. The point is, that there has to be an exchange of particles, waves and other energies to erect a double wall of water on both sides of escaping escaping Israelites ... and that is the function of the Holy Spirit.  It is the "breath" of God that blows the water, and breathes life back into the dead ... but it is NOT a miracle ..... A "miracle" is NOT something that Jehovah God or his remote agents do. Miracles are miracles BECAUSE they are so very, very IMPROBABLE when we see them occur, and it is because God has CAUSED something to happen outside of our normal range of experience. There was absolutely NO magic involved. Bibbidy Bobbidy Boo. There are MANY Youtube videos on "Feynman Diagrams", that illustrate how we KNOW this is the way the Universe really works. It would be worth ANYONE'S TIME to see perhaps a dozen of them to get a feel for how the Universe REALLY works. Instead of wasting your time "arguing how many angels can dance on the head of a pin", as they used to do in the Middle Ages, FOR NINE MONTHS (!) ... find out what is REALLY going on . We have enough understanding of Quantum Physics to make tunneling diodes in our color TV sets, where energies go outside the Universe to do a "quantum leap" from one side of an electronic diode to another ... without ...WITHOUT ... traveling the distance between the two spaces, and we know how to slow down the speed of light to about 38 miles per hour through a Bose-Einstein Condensate .... and Jehovah knows a LOT more about Quantum Physics that we will ever know (presumably). Perhaps one day we will understand it like it used to be understood in ancient civilizations, such as Egypt ... but one of the KEY ingredients of Holy Spirit is the ability to CHANGE even memories and thought processes ... to teach and to instruct. This is the famous "minus8pialpha" Feynman Diagram that was shown on TBBT years ago and it shows two sub-atomic particles coming together in time, and how each interacts with the other ... with an explanation. EVERYTHING that happens in this Universe is the direct result of cause, and effect ... and there are NEVER any exceptions ... ever !! Holy Spirit is the active FORCE from God that CAUSES the effect. Perhaps one day, if we ever get smart enough, we can make a Feynman Diagram to study the details of HOW that happens.  As Carl Childers said in the movie "Sling Blade" .... "Get it?"  Â

Amazing how they used the uniform background as a "green screen" .... I did have to disable tracking protection in Mozilla, to even see the video link and the video ... then I went to Youtube and downloaded it with Freemake Video Downloader. Seeing Judge Rutherford in composite in the the background monitor was hilarious.

I firmly believe that if we as Jehovah's Witnesses stuck to just the Gospel, as written, and not all the outlandish and "problematic" theological theories whose sole purpose is to generate slavish obedience to self appointed men, artificial panic, and a sense of urgency to keep the "troops" marching ... that we would not have to spend endless hours knocking on doors of people that could not care less, or are not at home ... They would be knocking on ours. We have the TRUTH ... but like in any delicious, wholesome salad ... it is offensive for rational people to have to eat around the crap.

In 2015 the Russian Federation passed a law that said if the ECHR made any judgements that the Russian Federation did not like ... they could legally be ignored. We are not talking about red dot Indians laying down in front of British Tanks, and the tanks stop. If the India Indians had laid down in front of Nazi Tanks, they would have been ground into bloody meat scraps. " ... Last hour Strasbourg court request a order for Russia to return ownership of Jehovah's Witnesses ...". The Strasbourg court has its nicey-nicey request ... and the Russkies have bayonets and machine guns ! ... and millions and millions of dollars of valuable former WTB&TS Real Estate. The WTB&TS confiscated all the Kingdom Halls on Earth from the local congregations who built and paid for them several years ago. ...... everything that goes around .... comes around. Philosophical "Karma" is quite real. ...... everything that goes around .... comes around.

Where was this, specifically?

"Positive Criticism" Hmmmmmmm ..... Is that like "Giant Shrimp"? or "Military Intelligence"? or "Skinny Broad"? or "ice water"? or "acting natural"? or "horror comics"?

Could be worse .... could be a Crawley Dung Beetle ..... Crawley Dung Beetle .mp4

I think that to discourage the more than moderate drinking of alcoholic beverages, that the GB should provide every congregation with a large supply of red plastic funnels.

At least WalMart does SOMETHING right !

The higher the employee turnover rate ... the more $1.00 contributions will be forfeited ... TO WALMART. It's like if you have a term life insurance policy for ten years ... and then stop paying the premiums. You bet them you were going to actually die ... and their bet was that you would NOT die. They get to keep ALL THE MONEY! My guess is that only 3% of the people enrolled in the program will actually take the classes .... while they are active WalMart employees. This "benefit" ... is actually a lucrative profit center.

Of course they do ... black people are as numerous there as two flakes of pepper in a salt shaker. They just got terribly upset when Priscilla Presley married Michael Jackson.

I think these are the same flamethrowers Holiday Inn uses in their bathrooms, before they put that band of paper on the toilet seat that says "Sanitized for Your Protection".

Endurance to injustices are corrosive to the soul ... and within each of us is a limit to the endurance we can bear. Endeavor to persevere!.mp4

Rolling Stone Magazine is reporting that Michael Jackson wore a prosthetic nose which was missing from his body during his autopsy. The Aug. 6 issue of Rolling Stone magazine reports that the artificial nose the King of Pop wore was missing when he was taken to the Los Angeles county morgue after his death on June 25. At least one witness told Rolling Stone: “The prosthesis he normally attached to his damaged nose was missing, revealing bits of cartilage surrounding a small dark hole.” The King of Pop’s former housekeeper, Adrian McManus, claims the the star had lots of false noses. “His nose was a problem. He wore plasters around the side to cover or support it. It was severely caved in,” she recalls. “In his closet he had a jar of fake noses and stage glue, which he told me he used for disguises. But some were similar to his real nose, just without the hole.”

There is no sound in the Universe more disconcerting than a Spindizzy with a bad bearing ....

Different cultures have different customs .....One time at the Kingdom Hall, during a Watchtower lesson about "Marriage", I raised my hand and when I got the microphone, said "You know ... a man should treat his wife AT LEAST as well as he treats his dogs !", and handed the microphone back. One third of the people burst out laughing .... one third nodded knowingly, and one third audibly gasped ... and were completely horrified. An Elder was a black brother from England. and he stopped me on the way to my car, and chewed me out Royally, for disrespecting Sisters, my wife at the time, and Jehovah, and the Congregation. He was MAD! Where I come from, a man's wealth is measured by how many cars and disembodied engines are up on blocks in the front yard, and how many hunting dogs live under the front porch.

Not only THAT! .. during his autopsy, someone stole his prosthetic nose !

In the South, if you want to get a gal's eyelids to flutter .... lean over and lovingly whisper in her ear "Why Honey chil', yo is as cute as a speckled hound dawg!"

Eternity can be defined as one and a half years of listening to to the Hildabeast whining and blaming everybody else in the world as to why she lost the 2016 Presidential Election.

I STRONGLY suspect that If I had a JW ORG license plate, and drove at high speed down a crowded sidewalk, it would cause less actual reproach on Jehovah's name and perceived reputation, than the "Pillowgate" fiasco. which has become the fodder of high profile comedians in their shticks, and an embarrassment to the average JW when they ( if they) find out about it .... as the absolute creepiest thing ever uttered by the Governing Body, through it's "helpers". We are getting ... correction ... we ALREADY HAVE .... a firmly established public reputation for family cruelty in HOW disfellowshipping is done ... and a firmly established reputation for perverting Justice with child sexual abuse cases through reprehensible legal machinations, and thanks to "Pillowgate", we now as an organization have a well established reputation for being bat crap creepy, and borderline (?) insane. In the grand scheme of things, a JW ORG license plate being reproachable .... is completely irrelevant.  2 CHAIR pORNEA .mp4

I believe that General Electric also used to make multiple entry hydrogen bomb warheads for Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs), and also owned Hallmark Greeting Cards. .... when you care enough to send the very best!

The name of the song is "The City of New Orleans" .... the name of a railroad train that went from New York to New Orleans, sung by Arlo Guthrie. I believe it was his father that wrote the song.

... there is a LOT of that going around, lately .... Â Gravity Electricity Wind .mp4
