Sex and Rockets - Strange Angel CBS series and Charles Taze Russell
by truthseeker ini'm watching the cbs series strange angel.
it is based on a true story about jack parsons, who along with others, pioneered rocket development in 1930's america.. "strange angel, a drama series created by mark heyman (black swan, the wrestler) and based on george pendle's book of the same name, explores the dramatic intersection between genius and madness, science and science fiction.. the story follows the life of jack parsons, a mysterious and brilliant man in 1930s los angeles, who by day helps birth the entirely unknown discipline of american rocketry, and by night is a performer of sex magick rituals and a disciple to occultist aleister crowley.".
the jet propulsion laboratory is derived from jack parson's initials.

Corporate Virtue Signalling At Your Expense
by Simon inthe latest trend seems to be that you can't go to any store without being asked for money.. no, not the money for the things you went in there to purchase, extra money for the store to donate to charity.. yes, that's right, the big-name stores, often making $millions in profits, ask you to give them extra money so that they can give it to charity and get some publicity about how awesome they are so that they'll look good to their customers, like, erm, you.. it seems to have ramped up more in the last year or so and frankly, it pisses me off.
if i want to donate to some cause, i'll give the money straight to them.
i hate that it puts people on the spot to guilt them into donating and imagine some people on a tight budget may give even when they can't really afford it.. often you don't know what the charities really are (it's vague like "to help children") or how the money will be spent or even how much will go on the people it's supposedly to help (charity is a multi $billion industry, some just exist to pay themselves).. so what to do?

I believe charity is the way humanitarian causes should be funded and not trough taxation by the government.
With that being said, I too find it annoying to be asked to donate to a specific charity every time i check out at the grocery store. At the least the store should say "Would you like to donate $1.00 to Charity X? We match every dollar donated."

New kingdom hall Washington State
by Are you serious inyesterday i drove passed a town a couple of hours from my home and saw this kh under construction.
this is the first new design kh i've seen in washington state even though i would think by now another one or two have been built.
maybe not with their financial situation being the way it is.

I haven't seen windows on a Kingdom Hall since 1987. I thought they were to have none to keep insurance rates down.

Well done! I enjoy reading such stories. Bringing joy to our children is important. I could not fathom raising my children as Witnesses.

Money... $$$$
by lastmanstanding inoh the money.. this years rc gave me a thought as i watched the money pour in.. at the circuit assemblies, the one dayers now, the ādeficitā has been announced and the dubs expected to ārise to the occasionā with their cash.
we all thought that dubs, eventually, would do the math and see that the watchtower boys were charging a per-head fee.
we thought that this would make them think, and they would see the money grubbing.

The perfect tool for Glock magazines
by Wonderment inthose of you who own glock pistols know that it takes a bit of know-how or work to open a glock magazine for cleaning, or for adding a magazine extension to increase round capacity.
the reason why glock chose this method of retaining is to prevent accidental release of the magazine springs and cartridges in case they are dropped.
the military and law enforcement agencies appreciate this system more than the average joe.

I have always been a big fan of Wonder Woman. I have been a comic collector since I was 4 (although that 1980's Awake! article on comic books made me do it covertly while I was in). I thought the recent Wonder Woman film with Gal Godot was great.
