The Soviets tried this with their nuclear powered submarines ..... all works well as long as it works well .... a much hotter transfer medium, with more heat carrying capacity ... but when a pump breaks down or has to stop, the piping "freezes" and the sodium WHICH IS A METAL, freezes solid, and the entire multi-billion dollar submarine becomes a boat anchor that cannot be repaired.
Some things CAN be done ...... but should NOT be done.
As Elvis found out the hard way ... Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwiches and cocaine makes a pretty hot "fire" ... but it does not last the night.

Fun EE !

The State of the World is SO BAD ( How bad is it?), that in my bedroom, behind a hinged picture, in a wall safe protected by a digital keypad, I keep my socks on 55 small plastic sock hangers.

Within ten minutes of speaking with someone, I can almost always tell what their primary news sources are. THAT is fake news. Don’t like something? Dismiss it as “fake news.”

(And it also seems that just a few posts ago you described this forum as a “joke.” Suddenly it has become the voice of Moses descending from Mt. Sinai for you?)

Hello John Butler,
We are approuching the final 1260, 1290, 1335, 2300 days spoken of in the book of Daniel and Revelation.
A very easy way to determine that is by understanding that Donald Trump is the fierce-looking king spoken of in Daniel 8:23-25. And in an earlier vision Daniel saw a little horn that grows bigger and bigger and has eyes and a mouth that speaks arrogantly.(Daniel 7) This part of that vision is about the same king as in Daniel 8:23-25. 
This king or horn will during his reign begin to persecute the saints and he will be allowed to do that during 1260 days or in other words during a time, times and half a time. 
So because Donald Trump is this king and this horn in the prophecy in Daniel's book, it means that we are really living in the end times. And the 1260 day period of persecution should begin during Donald Trump's reign. So it should happen within maximum of a few years.

Fun EE !

When thinking about Russia, and the continuous chain of court cases that show our abandonment of basic decency, kindness, compassion and ... Justice .... for money ....
FOR MONEY!
...remember that Jehovah once used the Babylonian armies to chastise HIS OWN PEOPLE UNTO DEATH !
... for similar things.
However, we have the institutional advantage through years of training ...
The Incredibility Gap is equally matched ... by our Gullibility Fill.

In every court case in this Century, the Society has created an INCREDIBLE "Credibility Gap" ( ... an Incredibility Gap?), and have been found, as even a cursory reading of transcripts has shown, to be liars, (Australian ARC child abuse hearings) duplicitous, (California court cases) and actually working AGAINST the sane principles of Justice
... FOR MONEY!
My original post, quoted here was SIX MONTHS AGO, TO THE DAY ....and how much explanation did the Brotherhood get from the Society for $80 MILLION DOLLARS, and perhaps 20 MILLION hours of letter writing since then?
The 2017 Annual Meeting was somewhere around 4-1/2 HOURS.
How much was said about our being banned from a major portion of the planet's surface?
Was it enough for YOU?
 
Why should ANYBODY in their right mind ... trust us?

I used to pray constantly that God would save me from people with good intentions.

If ya snooze .... ya lose.

Of course ... the wolf packs in the New System will all eat straw ... while staring at the sheep.
 

STATE OF THE 'WORLD' HOW NEAR IS THE END TIMES ?
First ... consider that people educated in History, are not only NOT doomed to repeat it, but understand the world and its interactions with a lot greater clarity and accuracy of those who think History is dull and un-interesting.
For those that really do understand the facts and lessons from History, it is crystal clear that we are currently living in a time of unparalleled peace and prosperity, advancement and enlightenment ... such has never been seen before in the history of Mankind.
Using ANY criteria ... there is less "bad stuff going on", and has been for the last 70 years, all over the world, an every area of human interaction.  
Those ignorant of History will adamantly disagree with this, but that is just agenda driven total ignorance.
All that being said ... I will tell you the answer to the question
STATE OF THE 'WORLD' HOW NEAR IS THE END TIMES ?
It is this ........  and is accurate, complete, comprehensive, and most of all.... TRUE.
Ahem! (here it is............)
No one knows.
The pretenders to know have prognosticated for 2.000 and more years.
They have .... without exception ... always been wrong.
Now, does that make you fell better?
Silly question.
Of course it doesn't.
 
 

True, but God's approval ... AND being able to pay $195,000 for  a coronary bypass, entirely without blood, saved my life.
If I had to do one, but not both ... which would have kept me alive?
In this case, both did, as I avoided "Manny the Used Car Bone Saw Surgeon", by insisting on NO BLOOD or blood fractions, and had to transfer to another hospital with more skilled surgeons.
Abraham had both God's approval, and was immensely wealthy.
So was King David.
Having Gods approval means you may (may!) not starve.
Having God's approval, and money means you eat three times a day ... and well!
There is no shame to be in poverty ... but it has absolutely NOTHING to recommend itself.

I used to pray constantly that God would save me from people with good intentions.

I remember with great reverence the immortal words Of Abraham Lincoln, who guided the Republic through a great and terrible Civil War ....

I see @TrueTomHarley is getting very bored so called on his alter egos to mix things up a bit. I don't like vomit dog though. Never have.

FWIW, I have a tour of Warwick scheduled for 11:00am on Friday 12/7, and will also be in Mahwah and Wallkill over the weekend, touring Wallkill soon after 10am on Monday. If anyone else from here wants to meet up I'll be wearing black slacks, black shoes, a white shirt, and a mostly black tie.
That probably won't help, will it? So I will wear a mostly white shirt that is actually blue striped (an LLBean style) if you look at it closely, and I will wear a black tie with blue geometric designs (small diamonds in gray, lt.blue, dk.blue, black). Also the black shoes are really "sneakers" just made to look like dress shoes, not very shiny.
(Also, I'm 61, married, 6'3'', 245lbs, have some gray on the sides of my short brown hair, and I like long walks around the lake.)
Anyway, for real, if anyone wants to meet up, I'll answer to "JWI" or something similar, or even my real name. That goes for anyone who works in Warwick or Wallkill, too, who might be following along.

Just because someone goes by their real name would that make them more genuine? I know your name but you could be saying a whole load of deceptive hogwash, lol.  On these kind of forums it's the contents of what one says that is more important than who says them. It also helps to discuss ideas and comments rather than the people who make them. 😊

Keep taking the medicine. You might get better one day. 

Everywhere around me, to about a 100 foot radius, is a safe, peaceful place.
That's how I avoid mood swings, depression and anger.
