Simon, this is excellent!
Simon said: Painting is a great way to switch off and focus on something else and be creative.
I agree. I wish I had more time for fun things like this.

21Paint Nite - fun evening and a new hobby
by Simon inwe (and by 'we', i mean my wife) decided that we should try something new and she, erm, i mean 'we', liked the idea of painting.
so i enthusiastically (i.e.
begrudgingly) went along for the night to the "pain nite" event she'd booked us for a couple of weeks ago.. the premise is pretty simple: it's held in a pub or restaurant, all the art supplies are provided, the instructor then walks you through how to reproduce a painting they have chosen for the night and you have a glass of wine or beer, do some painting, have something to eat, have some more wine, more painting, more wine, realize you are drinking the dirty paint water and so on.. here's the site: https://www.paintnite.com/.

Where Does Jehovah Live?
by Wild_Thing inwhen my niece was very little (over 20 years ago), barely walking or talking, my mother decided to teach her "where jehovah lives".
she would coach her and say, "where does jehovah live?
" in a sing-song voice.

Designer Stubble is correct. Botchtower claims Jehovah lives in the Pleiades, also called the Seven Sisters. It is an open star cluster containing middle-aged hot B-type stars located in the constellation of Taurus. It is among the nearest star clusters to Earth and is the cluster most obvious to the naked eye in the night sky.
Even though you can see the cluster with the naked eye at night, you still can't see Jehovah.

Giant fruit in Canaan/TNS
by rebel8 inok bible scholars, do i have this right?.
jehoopla promised the israelites lots of great stuff in the promised land, but they didn't believe him so they sent spies to check it out.
they came back with fruit so large it had to be carried on a branch by 2 men.. from this, dubs believe they are going to have strawberries the size of king king's skull when they get to their own promised land (the new system).

I don't know about Canaan but the Jackfruit is the largest tree borne fruit. Grows in the tropics.
From Wikipedia:
It is native to parts of South and Southeast Asia, and is believed to have originated in the southwestern
rain forests of India, in present-day Goa, Kerala, coastal Karnataka, and Maharashtra. The jackfruit tree is
well suited to tropical lowlands, and its fruit is the largest tree-borne fruit, reaching as much as 35 kg (80 lb)
in weight, 90 cm (35 in) in length, and 50 cm (20 in) in diameter.
The jackfruit tree is a widely cultivated and popular food item in tropical regions of India, Bangladesh, Nepal,
Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Jackfruit is also found
across Africa (e.g., in Cameroon, Uganda, Tanzania, Madagascar, São Tomé and Príncipe, Ethiopia, and
Mauritius), as well as throughout Brazil, west-central Mexico, and in Caribbean nations such as Jamaica.
Jackfruit is the national fruit of Bangladesh. -

My Last thoughts in Field Service Before the Elderly Man Shat Himself and Pissed his pants in My New Car!
by PokerPlayerPhil indebating this was going to be the last day in field service was not hard after dealing with a nasty mess because i was grouped with the misfits of the kingdom hall!
i was reading this website on my phone while something started to stink in my car and one of the weird kids nobody wanted to work with yelled "hey, you leaking all over my seat, he was freaked out too!
" the older, retired elder, his pioneer daughter had forgotten to put his depends on and that became my problem.

What disturbs me in the OP is that the daughter forgot to put Dad's Depends (aka disposable underpants) on. Ok, I looked after my Father who needed these and I NEVER forgot to do that... I don't understand how you could.

B the X said: ToMo3 was on the broadcast condemning "higher education". And what was one of the reasons it was so bad? Because people were doing it in an effort to earn more money. How worldly! Such materialism is unacceptable!
This, right here, shows that the GB are suffering from some kind of psychosis.

I have a very difficult time reading their material. It's the same regurgitated bile year after year. I started watching one of their first videos and had the same nauseating response I get from their printed material.
I took over my Dad's finances in 2011. He suffers from dementia. He was a Ministerial Servant. The money flow from his wallet and bank account came to a screeching halt under Heaven's new management. He was giving them thousands of dollars.
They now receive the sum total of jack shite.
This is what happens when you damage/destroy families Botchtower! You can go F*ck Yourselves.

One short New Testament verse sums up the problem with faith.
by nicolaou in"for we are walking by faith, not by sight" 2 corinthians 5:7. that's it right there.
don't value the evidence of your own eyes or trust what you can measure and test; no, just have faith.. the frustration is that even when this is pointed out to the devout believer they still don't see the problem.
they still see faith as a virtue and something superior to 'sight'..

Faith is the fall back when people do not have the answers and do not want to do the work to find them.
Reason, logic, and intellectual honesty must be abandoned in order to have faith.

Questions for those that believe in Electricity
by OnTheWayOut inyou can't see electricity or hear it or feel it.
well, there are sparks and lightning bolts and heating elements and the light and heat of filaments.
and somehow, it lights up neon in a tube.

So electricity is like the flow of water through a pipe or what? How does an electron flow on a light wave? Is it like surfing? Not to knock Swedish researchers. But that just puts me back at Square One.
Ok, I'll give this my best shot. Others can correct me if I am wrong.
Electricity is the force created when electrons, the negatively charged subatomic particles found in all atoms of the elements, move. On it's own, electricity, does now 'flow'. Electricity needs a conductor in order to move and it needs a generator if you want electricity to flow.
The metal elements (eg copper) are 'conductors' as they have electrons that can freely detach from their atoms and move/zip around. In order to have electricity, you need the electrons to do this. Materials such as wood, cotton, air are all substances where their electrons 'stick' with their atoms - ie where their electrons do not freely detach. These do not make good conductors. Another way it is described is that these atoms do not freely share their electrons (these materials are insulators).
Michael Faraday created a generator with coils of copper wire (the conductor) rotating between the poles of a magnet producing a steady current of electricity. A generator is simply a device that moves a magnet near a wire to create a steady flow of electrons. In simple terms, think of the magnet pushing the electrons.
If you've ever moved paper clips around with a magnet, then you've dabbled in the basic principles behind even the most complicated electric generators.
There are varying designs on Faraday's generator and the principles are still used today. Hydroelectricity created by Niagara Falls uses the force of falling water to power a turbine which turns a shaft that rotates a conductor between the shafts of a magnet causing electricity to flow.
How an electron flows on a light wave is a slightly different topic than what is electricity. I posted the vid to demonstrate the first video of an electron and that we can actually see them, ie, they aren't invisible if we have the correct apparatus to view them. I have to run but will look into the properties of how an electron can ride a light wave.
