I wonder how far away this one was from the last one?

Very minor changes in my opinion. Hard to call it an "upgrade".....

Yes. A lot of corporate changes did happen in 2000.

but it appears you can still donate here:

A U.S. Air Force chaplain who ministers to thousands of men and women at an Ohio base is asserting that Christians in the U.S. Armed Forces “serve Satan” and are “grossly in error” if they support service members' right to practice other faiths. https://www.yahoo.com/news/christians-u-military-serve-satan-154402440.html?.tsrc=fauxdal

Thank you. I added your photo to the calendar event as well:

This could be a real drag on the economy going forward...

@audrey jean That was the only link that was found. Sorry. If you find another one please share it as a reply.

Sorry... it appears that link no longer works.

Au contraire mon ami!! In the midst of an obesity EPIDEMIC in the first world..... Wealth? Seriously? It is all based on "Funny money" which has no intrinsic value.... even pension funds will now buy 100 year Austrian bonds because it is the only place left to actually ensure income with little risk. 100 year bonds!!!!! The major US Banks have 202 TRILLION dollars in derivatives exposure.....just waiting to implode. oh... and in your home town of Chicago... how many people are shot on average EVERY WEEKEND?

A man who is accused of murdering an electrician as he was working at a Jehovah's Witness hall is to be moved to hospital for a psychiatric assessment. Keith Beviss, aged 54, of Woodhayes Drive, Honiton, is currently on remand at Long Lartin Prison but is likely to be transferred shortly. He is due to be tried at Exeter Crown Court on November 27 for the murder of 55-year-old Philip Ryan at the Jehovah Witness Kingdom Hall in Dowell Street, Honiton, on Tuesday June 6. Mr Ryan, a married electrician from Westward Ho!, North Devon, was found with fatal stab wounds. He had run Ryan Alarms and Electrical Services with friend Chris Ley for 30 years after moving to Devon from Henley on Thames. Beviss appeared at Exeter Crown Court by video link from Long Lartin and spoke only to confirm his name. Mr Simon Laws, QC, prosecuting, said a report has been received from consultant psychiatrist Dr John Sandford, who examined Beviss on behalf of the defence. He said the Crown hope to obtain their own report from a second consultant psychiatrist, Dr Philip Joseph, who hopes to interview the defendant after he has been transferred from jail to a psychiatric hospital. Judge Geoffrey Mercer, QC, adjourned the case for a further hearing on November 3, when the arrangements for the trial will be finalised. He remanded Beviss into custody. http://www.devonlive.com/news/devon-news/man-accused-murdering-jehovahs-witness-517994

Good comparison!

I imagine the US government would do the same if New England tried to secede.

Wanna bet London stays on top after this all washes out?

I thought this had subsided???

'rogue newcomer"??? They really do not understand US Governance or Politics do they? And if I were to call anyone "rogue"....... I don't know..... but he doesn't look so calm himself. I would say he looks rather smug and sanctimonious. Dangerous qualities historically speaking.

That is a very popular OS isn't it....

Wouldn't it make sense to pay the cost to bury the cables and avoid these scenarios going forward?

Sad story...

By Margaret Matray The Virginian-Pilot Sep 21, 2017 Updated 25 min ago CHESAPEAKE Cynthia Wright called and called, but her sister’s voicemail box was full. A four-alarm fire had engulfed the apartment complex where Wright’s sister and niece lived. And she couldn’t find either of them. Wright’s brother drove to the apartments but couldn’t get any information about where Saundra and Lydia Somerville had gone. Wright called the hospitals but turned up nothing. She thought they must be with friends, that it would be only a matter of time before the family found them. The next day, a family friend called: Rumors were swirling that Saundra and Lydia had died. After authorities accounted for all other residents, after they identified 61-year-old Cynthia Martenis as one of three people who died in the July 15 blaze, Wright said a fire marshal suggested the family wait to hold any services until they could confirm the identities of the other two victims. Wright said DNA and other tests were needed. This week – two months after they died – authorities publicly identified Saundra Somerville, 64, and her 30-year-old daughter, Lydia Somerville, as the remaining two victims of a fire caused by lightning at Chesapeake Crossing Senior Community Apartments. “It has been a long wait. … God has played a great part in helping us to deal with this,” Wright said. Wright said her sister and niece are not forgotten; the family thinks of them every day. A service has been planned for 11 a.m. Saturday at Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, 681 Oak Grove Road, in Chesapeake. “It’s just sad,” she said, “how both of them went.” Wright said her sister and niece lived together at the apartment complex. They were an inseparable pair. “You saw one, you saw the other,” Wright said. Saundra Somerville loved to sing and was known for her cooking – homemade hot rolls and potato salad were her specialties. She grew up in Deep Creek, the oldest of nine siblings. As a young girl, she liked to whip up Rice Krispies Treats for her younger brothers and sisters. Wright looked up to her. Her passion for cooking stuck with her . She retired several years ago from Chesapeake Public Schools, where she worked as a manager in the food service department, Wright said. “It was no wonder she ended up in food service,” she said. “She loved what she did.” Lydia Somerville, an only child, was witty and bubbly. She once worked at the Portsmouth Naval Medical Center , Wright said. Both women were Jehovah’s Witnesses and dedicated to their faith. Wright saw her niece for the last time the Sunday before the fire. Wright stopped by the apartment complex to drop off a gift for her sister – Love and White Diamonds, an Elizabeth Taylor perfume. Wright said her sister called before Wright was out of the parking lot to talk about the present, a new fragrance in a perfume line they both liked. Usually when they got off the phone, the sisters would say they’d talk to each other later. But that Sunday was different, Wright said. “I said, ‘I love you.’ And she said, ‘I love you, too,’ ” Wright recalled. “And those were the last words we shared.” Margaret Matray https://pilotonline.com/news/local/their-last-words-to-each-other-were-i-love-you/article_c45e44fb-06f5-5e47-a9d4-7a86448afab4.html

I figured I would start a topic on "peace and security' since so much news constantly comes out regarding this theme lately: Paul in his letter to the Thessalonians. He draws attention to “Jehovah’s day.” As used here, “Jehovah’s day” refers to the period that will start with the destruction of false religion and will culminate in the war of Armageddon. However, just before that day of Jehovah begins, world leaders will be saying “Peace and security!” This may refer to one event or to a series of events. Nations may think that they are close to solving some of their big problems. You may want to "Follow" this thread up on the upper right hand side to get notifications.
