Micky has another dog friend that walks, talks, wears clothes, and white gloves ....... what's with that?
That's just Goofy!

In Spanish we call "Pluto" this cartoon dog, and we refer to the planet as "Plutón" so when the @admin said Pluto TV I only remembered the Mickey Mouse's pet😃

It's free if you live on Pluto.

4J:
Although I try to live my life according to Bible Standards, I am a Barbarian at heart.
When I get a sheet of bubble wrap packed with something I ordered, I will pop the plastic bubbles one at a time, visualizing with a big grin Snowflakes, Progressives, and Liberals, and "spiritual" peoples' heads exploding, trying to understand the REAL world.
Entertainment is where you find it!

Witnesses did not predict anything.  The magazine highlighted what the experts said - their educated guess - and brought it to the attention of the readers of Awake magazine, like they do with many important and timely subjects. Get over it!

Yes James but I'm trying to think from a spiritual aspect. 
But I'm beginning to wonder James, are you one of Jehovah's Witnesses or not ?
And what do think the real 'time of the end' will be like ? 
Do you think all God's people will be sat in their homes drinking coffee whilst all the 'wicked' are being 'removed' outside ? 
I do remember the JW video of all the bros and sis hiding in the basement when the soldiers come looking for them. 
I'm hoping to be dead and buried before the Judgement Day arrives. 
 

In the Fifth Grade, I was 12 years old .... and Mrs. Thoms used to read stories to our class, which I remembered as "Arthur, the Vacillating Rat" (first he goes this way ... then he goes that .. poor Arthur could never make up his mind.")
The English are somewhat like that ... If the Nazis had marched in backwards to merry old England, they might have thought they were leaving.
If someone MERELY steals, or destroys your home and resources ... you may DIE of starvation, hardship, exposure and disease.
They are MERELY killing you more slowly.
 

OK ....so the World ignored those experts ..... too.
That's three blind pigs.

"According to many experts"?
What does THAT mean?
WHO in particular?
What are they experts OF?
 
What exactly makes these anonymous people experts?
The "People of the World" were what? .... about 7 Billion back in 2005?
How many copies of the Awake! actually got into the hands of 7 billion people, who ACTUALLY READ THEM, and even then ... WHAT COULD THEY HAVE DONE ABOUT IT??
.... my guess is nothing whatsoever.
It's like me ... if I heard that Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles, carrying 100 megaton yield Hydrogen Bombs MIGHT hit my home town someday in the future, as we have been 70 years and more since the World was engaged in an atomic (albeit one sided) war.
What could I do about it?
NOTHING !!!!
Disregarding the publications TOTAL lack of credibility in foreseeing the future, even a blind pig, once in a great while, will find SOMETHING to eat..

If he makes it into the new system, that means your friend is resisting the direct will, and trust of Jehovah God, whose Son's decision it was for that person to be there.
Besides .... the conclusion reached is based on general cluelessness.

I'm just glad I live in England. I hope this is far enough away from James and his house full of weapons. Hope he doesn't get his hands on missiles. 
But seriously though, a country that starts a war for greed and power and is willing to kill other people. If the idea is to take land, goods, riches, people, livestock et al. Then it is premeditated killing that should not be happening. I do not think God approves of any of that. I would think that God would class it as murder. Whether as a whole, or as each individual killing. And I would think the ones doing the attacking and killing would be judged differently to those doing the defending. 
I have mixed feelings about killing for defence. But if someone was attacking my wife then I would think natural defence mechanism would come into play. 
However, the time will come, as i think @Arauna mentioned, when true servants of God will be attacked and killed. I have my doubts that God is gong to defend everyone of His servants. So, will God's true servants just allow themselves to be killed ? Allowing the stealing of our possessions is easy enough, but allowing someone to kill you / me, i don't know............

So, JJJ.... um ... what was predicted in 2014 that did not happen, and what is SUPPOSED to happen that "we" predicted to happen in 2033?
I musta been asleep about those two.

and you are so trigger-happy with the barbs, put-downs, and insults, not to mention the cartoons, that I hesitate to get close enough to find out.

I really honestly truly have no idea what you are talking about, as explained by my previous comment & only amplified since.. My bad, if you want to make it that way, but I don’t follow this at all.
Are you upset that you didn’t fight in the big war—is that it?

Did you mean to say "WHY .... doesn't Jehovah God NOT consider warfare .... murder?".
If so, I think it is more like ... Jehovah has placed the Nations in their relative positions, to execute judgement against wrongdoers , and protect us from Anarchy, which would be worse than even the Nazis (as the classic bad example) at their worst ... and allowed each political entity to run their affairs as they see fit ( temporarily), and it would be hypocritical to view their permitted activities, be it internal affairs, or how they treat their their external enemies, however perceived, and for whatever reason, as reprehensible to the extent of being classified as murder.
The people of the Nations are particularly nasty, and complex, and do not respond well as a general rule to reasonableness.
He has allowed it .... and specifically, so it may be as a protection for us .... AND THEM.
This is the essence, although somewhat simplistic.
I can not find any evidence that this reasonable approach is NOT Jehovah's God viewpoint.
..... AND MORE TO THE SPECIFIC POINT ...
I cannot find any evidence that Jehovah God considers warfare between secular nations ....  the same way that he considers murder.
None, whatsoever.
 

I do not wonder at all.
WE SHOULD !!!
( ... speaking as one who refused any blood or fractions during recent heart surgeries ...)

Warfare definition is - military operations between enemies.
WHY .... doesn't Jehovah God consider warfare ... murder?
Because He have enemies?
 
 

I wonder if we should look for a direct scripture that says "You must not transfuse blood from one human to another human". 

It seems how JW people don't using proper Understanding when false Knowledge is presented.  
Knowledge: End is near
Understanding: We must build new modern center for making digital spiritual food.
In this, both is questionable. The knowledge and the understanding.
