    Screw Legal. What is your MORAL obligation.

    John Butler: I gave you excellent advice ... and you ignored it ... or at the very least did not consider and meditate on WHY it really would work. It cost you nothing. Had I charged you $500 for the advice, you would have probably taken it to heart, you would have ACTUALLY solved the problem, and stopped hopping around in circles with one shoe nailed to the floor and your hair on fire, trying to put it out with your tears. If you send me a check for One Thousand Dollars, after it clears the bank, we will BOTH feel better .... you would have gotten high-priced out-of-town advice that really worked, , and I would have a thousand dollars. Win-Win for BOTH of us. This is simply a social engineering problem, but, to mix metaphors .... like Dandruff .... if you cured it in six days, ... you would have nothing to fiddle with and scratch until it bleeds.

    I know about Porkchop Hill .... but I was speaking only about general principles.

    MYOB = Mind Your Own Business When you see someone on the street, THIS should be the greeting ... "MYOB" ... instead of "Hello!".

    Here is my advice ... from a Barbarian .... and it is worth every pence you paid for it. What you think you know is hearsay. It may be completely true. It may be completely false. Or any variation on that theme. This is why the scriptures COMMAND one to do what is to my personal knowledge, NEVER, EVER done. Otherwise you will CERTAINLY ruin someone's life, who may be completely innocent of all suspicions... AND RUMORS. The same SERIOUSNESS as murder ... when you carelessly destroy anothers' reputation. The person who knows about this thing from personal knowledge, either by being an eyewitness, or hearing a confession FROM THE ACCUSED, has the responsibility to report it to the police ... BUT FIRST ... he must go to the accused and educate him on proper behavior ... FACE TO FACE .... AND CALL HIM TO ACCOUNT FOR ANY MISSTEP, whether through impulse, diminished capacity, or even deliberate evil. This does not involve "snitching to the Elders", and starting a Witch Hunt. THEN ... and only AFTER taking that step .... if the Brother does not change his ways, and all that entails, including apologies and reparations, and repentance acceptable to the actual accuser who was actually harmed .... bring out the chain saw. BECAUSE, for you, this is ONLY hearsay, you have no responsibility whatsoever to report this to the police, but you do have a responsibility to report it to the Congregation Elders ... if, and ONLY AFTER you have had a thorough discussion with all parties involved ... but ONLY as a "heads-up", so that they do not get sucker punched. ACTUALLY involved. Otherwise MYOB.

    After carefully considering the matter I would have to adopt the philosophy of winter combat in North Korea during the 1950's. " ... is this the hill you want to die on?" I have completely solved this quandary by not caring either way ...... BECAUSE ... of all the infinite things in the Universe one could care about ... or SHOULD care about ... this does not even make it to the list. This is, figuratively speaking, not a hill worth the effort. Not really.
  7. James Thomas Rook Jr.
    Yep.
  8. James Thomas Rook Jr.
    ... there is really nothing that can be done for professional grumpy, miserable people ... except keep them drugged up.

    Sometimes you just have to ignore the folks who pretend to know the very best way to be happy, and to serve God, and in the process take an average of 10% commission, and make some basic assumptions. Every person is different. Some people like to go camping, and challenge themselves, and the elements, and learn survival skill ... just for the fun of it. Others, would be completely miserable being hungry because they caught not a squirrel for food, and VERY unhappy sleeping in a leaky tent in 40 degree weather, in a puddle of water, shaking uncontrollably ... and I am pretty sure that if it is one thing God doesn't like ... its a wet, cold, miserable grumpy person, with low blood sugar. I, on the other hand, am just a simple man, with simple tastes, and it does not take very much to make me happy. I am a happy person .... not by nature, but because I am determined to be genuinely happy, and although I do have my moments, like when trying to reason with Liberal Snowflakes who think the Republic should be run , and look like Disneyland, I enjoy every moment of every day. But of course, we all want to make progress, and be more and more happy ... possibly stopping short of having an orgasm at a restaurant over a pastrami sandwich ... so I have searched my soul to try and discern what I lack, which if accomplished, would make me a genuinely more happy man than I am, as a general rule ... and after thinking about it for awhile, I have come to the conclusion ..... that it would be being able to devote a small portion of my income to being able to sit at the ocean's edge on a blanket, and look out at the vast endless ocean with it's peaceful magnificent surf rolling in, under the shadow of my very own, brand new, modestly equipped $40 million dollar Chinook CH-47 Helicopter.

    BillyTheKid46: How about this ? I will agree that Stavros is a Greek Name if you will agree that Sean Connery was the only REAL James Bond in movies. In the interest of having an amicable, non-hostile environment, I will agree with your irrelevant drivel, if you will agree with my irrelevant drivel ! What could be more fair?
  11. James Thomas Rook Jr.
    A REAL JAMES BOND would not have three nipples as Roger Moore did in "The Man with the Golden Gun", pretending to be Francisco Scaramanga. There is just so much a REAL 007 would do for "King and Country", and that does NOT include a third nipple. I mean .... REALLY!

    Roger Moore? Roger Moore! ROGER MOORE!! ROGER MOOOOOORRREEEE!! Heresy Detected .mp4

    I think almost every Republican alive hopes and prays that Hillary will be the Democrat nominee for the 2020 Presidential contest. She will be more composed, and again re-invented herself, and will cut quite the fashion figure in her matching ensemble one piece orange jump-suit.

    ... and risk being disfellowshipped? I think not.
  15. James Thomas Rook Jr.
    ... and say WHAT?
  16. James Thomas Rook Jr.
    Of course this brings up the raging and long term theological debate as the whether or not Sean Connery is the only REAL James Bond.
  17. James Thomas Rook Jr.
    Of course! I submit for your inspection the name of the fictional arch criminal and nemesis of James Bond, 007 and the British Secret Service .... Ernst Stavro Blofeld. From Wikipedia: " Character Ian Fleming includes information about Blofeld's background in his novel Thunderball. According to the novel, Blofeld was born on 28 May 1908 (which is also Fleming's birthday) in Gdingen, Imperial Germany (now Gdynia, Poland); his father Ernst George Blofeld was Polish, and his mother Maria Stavro Michelopoulos was Greek, hence the well-known Greek name Stavro ..."

    Actually, even though they have been "vewwy, vewwy quiet ...shhhhh", it seems they have it all under control. (When you look at the attached videos ... look at them in the order posted ....) JW.org _Publisher ID_ - leaked video 1-of-4.mp4 .... .... JW.borg - Publisher ID...it has begun....mp4

    When I was younger, I gave consideration to having the tops of my feet tattooed with an I.D. number, as usually, the feet survive a misadventure ... but then I realized two things ....... 1.) I would be dead, and; 2.) I would have been (past tense) the only one who really cared. PS : 3.) And besides, if someone will not sell to you because you have no RFID chip ... the next guy will, because you DO have money. The most effective weapon known to the human race is a fully loaded check book.
  20. James Thomas Rook Jr.
    I actually paid money to deliberately have five members of my family micro-chipped ..... an injection at their shoulder blades, and registered their RFID chip numbers with a National Organization. It was not necessary for my wife and I, because WE ALREADY HAVE biological identifiers in our bodies as also do YOU ...called FINGERPRINTS ... that can identify us even if we have no I.D., and are DEAD. The rest of our family do not have fingerprints ...... only paws.
  21. James Thomas Rook Jr.
    ... it's a core problem ....
  22. James Thomas Rook Jr.
    If they cut off both of my arms, in the immortal words of Monty Python's Black Knight, I would kick them where it hurts the most, and yell " ... MERELY A FLESH WOUND!"
  23. James Thomas Rook Jr.
    .... sounds like the punch line of a stand-up comedian's night club joke.

    Here, if you are losing a debate, it is common to label the one winning the debate, an Apostate.

    I remember the story of the man who met this girl he liked, and after dinner on a Saturday, they went to a NYC Jewelry store and he picked out a 3 million dollar necklace for her, and wrote a check saying to the Jeweler, " I will pick the necklace up Tuesday, after my check clears the bank". The Jeweler was fine with this, and the man and woman spent Saturday night, Sunday, and Monday "wearing each other out!". Tuesday afternoon the store called the man and told him the check had bounced for insufficient funds. He grinned, and said "It cost me $35 bounced check charge, for the best long weekend I have EVER had." There is a difference between "fetching" 90 million dollars, and GETTING 90 million dollars.
