You guys look like kids.
OK, I was thinking of posting a pic taken outside the KH on Oct. 6, 1974; but then I looked at it and decided not to. It's there on a post a year ago if you want to look.

My wife and I still like each other. Fortieth is "Ruby." Since rubies aren't in the budget, we went to Ruby Beach for the weekend. Had a good time.
This one was Debbie's work on the beach. As we walked back we found another one celebrating twenty years. Deb put an arrow next to it pointing toward hers and added the notation "they have more." We ended up having a nice conversation with the other anniversary couple. -

I had the same idea as Greenhorn. I haven't been in a Kingdom Hall since 1988. I should download the app and check JWN frequently, maybe look at some porn. I could give them a real run trying to find me. If they did, I'd tell them I'm not a JW and what I look at on my phone is my business.

Come with me, back to the 1980s--you know want to.
by FlyingHighNow ini don't know about ya'll, but i did not appreciate the 1980s enough.
i was too busy lamenting how different they were from the 1960s and 1970s to bask in and appreciate how wonderful they were.. this is 80s music, especially new wave music, and 80s fashion and culture appreciation thread.
what did you love about the 80s?

Bill, I had not seen what he said, but I talk to a lot of military and ex-miltary on the net. A number of them are making or quoting similar comments. Air power enthusiasts have been claiming for a hundred years or so that aircraft can win wars by themselves. I think some people are claiming that Bill Clintons bombing in Serbia ended that conflict. The claim is disputed, and even if true its the only time it happened.
I agree, its going to take "boots on the ground."

A lot of people did not take Hitler and the Nazis seriously in the early 1930's. I can't find the quote just now but I've read some political leaders at the time who said that they expected Hitler to moderate his policies once he had power consolidated.
ISIS seems different from other terrorist groups in that they are seizing and controling territory (or attempting to). Their stated goal is to reestablish the Caliphate as an actual government over the captured land. They may be gone someday, but we don't know what its going to take to do that.

Finkelstein beat me to it. Also Garvilo Princip got Franz Joseph's route the same way, except that he got into the "right place at the right time" only because the driver didn't know the correct route.

Actually, the rhetorical tone is a little over-the-top for professional legal counsel.
I don't believe its run by a lawyer. Looks like whoever runs it is one of those "experts" that testify for one side or the other in court. Some are more expert than others, which is why I put that in quotes.

Couldn't the same ignorant drivel be said of the founding fathers of this country by merely replacing Black Panther with Ku Klux Klan?
Only if you're ignorant of history. The country was created between 1775 and 1787, the KKK didn't come into existence until 1865. Several "founding fathers" (Benjamin Franklin, John Adams for example) were anti-slavery.

I think on its face, there's nothing too out of the ordinary about this. They either set up the company through a shell arrangement or picked it up cheap from the brother who did.
The fun starts with future possibilites: a means to monitor and control every JW's internet access by having them routed through the WTBS' system. While they're at it, they can get every JW to pay them $ xx every month for the privilege.
