Do you know what he thinks PETA stands for, an organization of which I am a card carrying member? People Eating Tasty Animals !! Such men should not be allowed to exist!
Careful there Tom .... if a reasonable man would believe you were serious, that would justify a preemptive strike.
And I already have six Ninjas stationed in your house. They are experts at being invisible.

I SERIOUSLY think you need to get your Prescriptions refilled .....

It's a lot EASIER to defend actual TRUTH .... wherever it is found.

You know if you take a step back and look, you'll see that your personal attacks only expose your inability to refute the facts presented to you.
Reading comprehension is NOT one of TTH's strong points.
They say "You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink".
The facts speak for themselves.

Beautiful Dog!
To be fair ... Green Dragons have the same reaction when they try to eat me .... not only is my flesh inedible, (much too tough!) ... but difficult to chew with a head full of bullet holes.
I have an arrangement with the Orange Dragons.
They don't try to bite me,
I don't shoot them.

All very nice ... but if you are a German Jehovah's Witness .... check your pay stub every payday .... anyway.
MONEY ...... always tells the TRUTH!

Hmmm... I thought the old woman was superficially beautiful before the morphing started, which surprised me.

Thanks for the link, Kurt .....
As of 11PM on Wednesday, October 11, 2017, they had collected approximately $60 thousand dollars of their $25 thousand dollar goal.

AllenSmith:
Your other questions I have answered... you just didn't LIKE the answers.
As to what is the difference between a passport APPLICATION and a Passport?
Try not signing the passport APPLICATION and you will not get a PASSPORT.
When you travel internationally, or return to your home country and they ask to see your Passport ....
...just show them your unsigned APPLICATION.
... and make sure you have a toothbrush with you, as I don't think they give you one in Prison.
DIFFERENT SUBJECT: In Romans 13:1-3, the Scripture you quoted "right" is defined by the governments and the word was used differently than what we usually think of "right" being, today.
A good example of that is (as always) Adolph Hitler and the Third Reich.
Do you actually think that Jehovah installed and blessed the Hitler Government?
No. He did that himself with bayonets and rifles.
Think about it.

.....
Then, think about what is going on now in Russia.

Oh, and I am NOT a member of the NRA, nor do I contribute money to them, and even if I were, and did, they DO NOT REQUIRE ANY OATH OF ALLEGIANCE or fealty, to them or the USA or the Constitution.
I just admire MANY ... not all .... of the things they stand for and do.

It is now October 11, 2017 ... any update on the funding effort?
-
Please provide one "sniff and sob" comment I have ever made, complaining that "nobody understands me".
...you are PROJECTING again, TTH ....
It's amazing that projected beams of light do not come out of your eyes ... but, about that I am only guessing.
(Ever notice that dogs and their owners often begin to look alike?)

The fact is... at the end of the Book "1984", Winston Smith was still alive ....

And TTH ... just because I have told you everything that you know about me ... does NOT mean you know what I know, and what I have seen with my own eyes.
I envy you.

To some people Rap "Music" is harmonious.
I like bagpipe music, but many people think someone is squeezing a cat to death.
IN CONTEXT of the people living at the time ... a grandmother ... a mother ... and her daughter .... were THREE generations.
YES THEY DO OVERLAP ... but they are still ... still ... THREE generations ... not ONE generation.
This has historically ALWAYS been the case ... it is the case now, and always will be the case, all over the world, and in every ... EVERY ... culture.
... except OURS ... here and now ... and ONLY because false prophesy needs to be "explained away" so the money does not stop rolling in.

Care to make a guess whether or not the WTB&TS has "signed up"?
They confiscated a home that a Sister left to the Local Congregation I attend and SOLD IT for the money.
If you ask the German Branch office, do you think they will give you a truthful answer ? ... or send three Elders to your home ?

Allen, with respect to your FIRST accusation ... which by the way, PROVES the point I was making :
Your selective quoting was specifically designed to be a slander to either him or me. Here is his reply, which was posted WITH the above question ... but that you deliberately left out in order to mislead.
" Dear Reader,
I get many comments about Brother Rook. I think maybe his American “style” and brutal honesty at times can set Europeans and others “on edge” to say the least.
I think most just lack the ability to understand his humor. Especially the French. (j/k… you all know I love France… I’d live there if I could)
Humor has never translated well into other languages. Brother Rook, has been around here for years now and has many insights and life experience to share as well as “keeping me and other editors on here honest” with fact checking etc. (He is not one to take a story at face-value)
He wasn’t being disrespectful.
Agape!
The Librarian
p.s. - To be honest, Rook has come close to irritating me a few times… there was one day a while back when EVERY COMMENT for like a week was some sarcastic witty ‘something" and I was in a bad mood without eating for awhile. But in the end, Love is what? “long-suffering, kind, does not look for it’s own interests….” you get the idea.
Most days though he calls it like it is.
“Keep putting up with one another”….. I think I have a talk about that somewhere…. ;-)"
In making the comparison ... Arther Godfrey was a HIGHLY respected Television host in the 1950's, and the Librarian was right ... I was NOT being disrespectful ... AND he correctly discerned that it was merely an attempt on my part to be FUNNY.
Since you do not HAVE a sense of humor, naturally both points were lost on you, AllenSmith.
4 hours ago, AllenSmith said:So, whats the difference with passports?
First of all, the photos I posted of the GB at the time were not passports ... they were passport APPLICATIONS, and on each and every one the GB swore allegiance to the Constitution of the United States, and solemnly swore, before God, to defend it against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
If you or I had done that, we would be disfellowshipped.
Think of it ... the leadership of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society swearing before God to protect and DEFEND the Constitution against the likes of Adolph Hitler, Josef Stalin, Emperor Hirohito, and any others seeking to overthrow the Constitution.
That does NOT involve reading them scriptures from behind a bullet scarred concrete wall.
THE DIFFERENCE between that, and the NRA ... is that I have not sworn allegiance to the Constitution, and the NRA has not asked me to, and will not ask me to.
The WTB&TS Leadership has not only sworn allegiance to the Constitution, but solemnly sworn to DEFEND IT! .... against all enemies.
ONE of those "enemies" is Jehovah God, who will will overthrow it, and install his Christ as King.
What's wrong with THAT picture?
And AllenSmith ... these facts are not an attack on you ... they are an attack on your goofy perspective.
You are probably OTHERWISE a very fine Brother ... whereas all I claim to be is a Barbarian interested in Justice and Fairness.

The simple answer?
YOU get deleted ... NOT ME.
Sometimes when I insult an IDEA, the author has a fit, however, as he cannot tell the difference.

Thank you for that Video ... some GREAT ideas.
in 2012 I had four Huskies ... unfortunately, since then three have died.
I have accumulated dogs since then and have six now ... but only one Husky.

I thought John 3:16 was completely self explanatory!
John 3:16New International Version (NIV) " For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

Meanwhile, I will do my darndest to continue being the town crier! Regardless if I get deleted for saying the truth.
I suspect that you get deleted, not because you speak the truth ... but because you speak whatever it is with a mouth full of venom ... not for ideas ... but for individual Brothers ...

"1984" was written just after World War II, when with fire, and blood and steel global tyranny at the hand of the Nazis was just barely averted, and at GREAT cost ... yet the Soviet Union was in it's ascendancy, and was actively building a civilization based on the horrors exemplified in the book "1984".
The reason this book is studied, to the best of my knowledge in EVERY good Public High School in the United States, is that we learn to recognize that "Ministrys of TRUTH" are not what they are are labeled, and neither are Ministrys of LOVE".
It is not even unusual that tyranny always adopts the same methods ... it has been so since there were tribal witch doctors running the local "theocracy" ... and it is true now across a BROAD SPECTRUM of human organization and experience.
Hence the expression ... "Wolves in Sheep's Clothing"

TTH:
My guess is that you DID NOT read the book ... that you only saw the movie.
If you DID read the book, you had no comprehension of what was really going on, or what it was REALLY about, as you have demonstrated about almost every post I have ever made, here.
In the Book, Winston Smith does NOT die.
If he had been killed, the State would NOT have triumphed. The goal of the State was to reduce him to a totally obedient slave, where even in his innermost thoughts ... he loved BIG BROTHER.
They were successful in this... THEY WON ... and he lost.
His personality had been SO DESTROYED that even suicide was not an option available to him.
He had been figuratively killed, as his capacity for independent thought had been COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY erased.
THE BOOK "1984" WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A WARNING ... NOT A SCRIPT.
Big Brother spent years monitoring Winston Smith, and spent a lot of time and effort to 're-educate him" so he would be an effective tool in rewriting history, as we are dong now by going back and CHANGING Watchtower statements of many years ago, in all electronic versions.
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WINSTON SMITH'S JOB WAS WHEN HE WAS WORKING FOR HIS EQUIVALENT OF BETHEL DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY REVISIONISM ....... THE "MINISTRY OF TRUTH".
They could have shot him in 3/8 of a second ... but that would not have been the "loving thing to do".
He had to be publicly CRUSHED and his mind obliterated.
After all, his destruction as an individual was accomplished by the "MINISTRY OF LOVE".
THE BOOK "1984" WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A WARNING ... NOT A SCRIPT.

If for the purposes of political correctness, being generally "agreeable", and not wanting to be labeled an apostate, you bend your mind into a pretzel and enter a cow into the Kentucky Derby ... no good will come of it.
You will NOT win ... and your life will have been wasted on fantasies.
... and, it ruins the milk.
Do You Go to the Kingdom Hall OR a Lamentation Hall? ?
