They said something to the effect " In order for Jesus to be what he said he was "king of the sabbath'" the end of the 6 thousand years of man on earth is 1975 so then would start the seventh day, the sabbath.
So I take it Jesus lied right ?
yes i was there.. when we were all told.. 1975 is the time.
i was new to the jw thing but i knew then "that no man knoweth the day nor the hour....".. https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5647286362177536/1975-on.

a moment ago i clicked onto the link at https://bigglobaltravel.com/cities/funny-pictures-canada-yh/?utm_campaign=canada%20pictures%20shira1606%20dup0109%20msn%20edg%20en%20-%20desktop%20usa%20ya&utm_source=yahoo&utm_medium=msn_us&utm_content=msn.com&psl=g_61cd4e&network_code=cm which shows slides of canada.
viewing those slides (in combination with the other things i have seen and heard about canada) made me feel that maybe canada is about as close as one can get in the western world to a nation which is now a spiritual paradise, much like a new peaceful order now.
imagine that the usa would never have had a civil war.
Years ago living on Grosse Ile Mi. We would go to Amherstburg Canada quite often.
Best perch ever and our money was worth a lot.
You had to order food on Sunday if you drank alcohol .
One person would just go make a phone call to report how many people were on the boat. Great times.
Boy times have changed. We don't even get close to Canada on the boat anymore.
Windsor had totally nude strippers (Crazy ) and everyone went across the river for Bachelor or bachelorette parties.
I have been to Toronto many times and loved it. Young street was the cool place to go .
So glad I got to see a lot of Canada, since things are so differant now. You must have a passport or an enhanced licience. . O Canada !
i will post a **spoiler** in a few minutes.a 7 part horror movie on netflix titled midnight mass blew me away and i thought i mightrecommend this limited series (only seven parts.first of all, there is a word never ever mentioned by anybody in this horror drama.that is for a good reason.
a very good reason.
i won't mention it either or i'd ruin part of the build-up inside the plot.suffice to say, this horror story is a very fresh take on a well-trodden path we've all been down many times (if we are fans.
At one point I jumped a foot and I haven't done that in forever.
hi to all americans.. i read this interesting summary of politics in the u.s. at the moment.. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-10-01/us-politics-wrap-debt-ceiling-nancy-pelosi/100503466.
is it 'on the money' so to speak?.
i ask because i often read reports of what's going on here in australia in overseas media.
Pretty much correct, I think.
They didn't mention that when Biden came out at the baseball game he was booed.
i was appointed as a regular pioneer in a certain congregation.
in that congregation, a very obese male pioneer seduced a nice looking married pioneer sister who had two teenage sons.
her husband was a ms. both were df'd.
The congregation I grew up in had a woman that was DFed four times for sex . She was married.
. I actually liked her and hung out at her house. She grew up in a JW family in Queens NY.
I was much younger then her but she had personality plus.
I didn't see her for years but when we reconnected it was like time stood still. She passed last year . So glad I was her friend in the end.
In that same congregation A young brother 17years old exposed himself to a young girl of 14 that just happened to be one of my best worldly friends. He picked the wrong girl because I knew the whole story.
He was privately reproved.
The last congregation I went to was nuts on steroids. The Witness's came to my door and one woman I hit it off with ( she laughed at my jokes)
I studied with her.
Well it turns out she was having sex with a worldly man and she was getting money and lots presents. He started getting abusive and she broke it off.
She confessed to one act of fornication and was publicly reproved.
This next one is very very sick and you may want to stop reading now WARNING
Her best witness friend in the congregation had her witness husband drug her and let another man have sex oral and vagina with her and filmed it.
She ended up in the hospital because she aspirated sperm in her lungs and got pneumonia.
Her husband was DFed.
This woman went out a short time later and had sex with a worldly MARRIED man and got pregnant.
She was DFed. Why she didn't have to sit in the back of the hall ?????
After she was reinstated she moved to FL and seduced a young virgin brother
. Can't remember what happened with that although it did all come out
These are some things I have never heard of with all my worldly friends . My friends have been some real partying people !!! and I have been around the block a few times, yet all the people I have ever known can't compare to the sicko's I've known in JEHOVAH'S clean organization.
i would like to visit las vegas one day.
if you have a choice, would you want to live there?
low humidity sounds good to me.
Back in the late 80's I lived in Mt. Charleston.. I would lay out in the sun at Caesar's Palace by the pool and then go up to the mountain snowmobiling on the same day. I lived at the very top by the old lodge.
Before that I had been there several times. No desire to go back. Had enough. I have had many chances and my only sister goes often..
She loves it and at 63 she still goes clubbing. LOL

I too will miss him and his posts. He got us all thinking ! SO SAD.
so picture this, you are suddenly withdrawing troops after 2 decades in a country and, well, its all gone to shit.. how do you ensure that your vulnerable citizens and allies can get out when the airport is surrounded and no one can get through?.
option 1: it's a trick question surely?
you don't get yourself into this mess in the first place - you withdraw the citizens first, not last, duh!.
Yes Biden reversed the border policy ( people staying in Mexico untill their case came up and vetting was done.) Stopped the building of the wall. Stopped the pipeline. Making us energy dependent again but he kept Trumps policy of trying to pull out of Afghanistan.
Trump had a plan and it sure would NOT be the Biden plan ! Does any one really think he would have left Americans and billions of dollars in equipment there? Simon would have had a better plan and THAT I would bet my life on !
The more I read and think about it, was this done on purpose ? It just seems to strange and something you would do if you HATED America. NOBODY could be that stupid could they ?
i'd appreciate getting some opinions about a decision i will shortly have to make.. i am moving soon and have the choice of two different apartments in two different towns.
i am hoping this move will be one of the last that i have to make - i have moved frequently in my life - at least for a long, long while.. the apartment i like the least is in a town and a location that i love due to my history with, and connection to the area.
the apartment i love is in a town and location i am not as crazy about, but it is still a really nice area.
I'm more of a home body at this point in my life. I want the apartment I love. I also love decorating . Won't you get use to the new area since you have moved a lot so you have had to adapt before ?
ever wondered what blm do with their donations?.
well, i think i may have discovered an answer.. co-founder patrisse cullors has bought herself a nice, million dollar home in topanga, an exclusive la enclave, the demographics of which is approx.
80% white and 1.5% black.. yeah, cullors, an open marxist, has benefitted greatly from a capitalist country, lol.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4zrno_jcc0.
When I lived in Mississippi, We bought a 4,860 SF house for $400,000 . The first morning I woke and looked out my window and all my neighbors were outside washing theirs cars, mowing their lawns. Ect.
I turned around and said to my husband, Tim, we just moved into a black neighborhood. LOL so funny!
They were great nieghbors but my husband whom I would call rough and ready, leaving for work in his Wanglers, Golf shirt mostly untucked in the back with probably a shoe lace undone , we looked like the Poor White trash.
So much for White privilege . My husband lived in a SH%tT hole for years to get his Masters . He grew up in an large poor Irish Catholic family. They were leaving for work in suits with briefcases in hand. I couldn't believe how nice they were to us though.
Can you imagine the home you could buy in LA. for a million dollars more ? 15,000 SF ?
