10Earthquake in Victoria Australia
by smiddy3 ini ,along with many other victorians in australia,experienced my first earthquake this morning about 9:15 am.. it was recorded as a 5.9 magnitude.and an after shock of 4.0 magnitude.. i was having a lay in bed due to the fact my wife had a bad night due to her health problems which affected my sleep as well.. and i thought geeeze she`s making a lot of racket coming up the passage to the bedroom with her walker and then the bed started shaking like crazy .
i thought my computer`s going to hit the deck along with the printer as other things started to fall over.. our house sits on concrete stumps and the thought went through me that the house could collapse ,but thankfully there was no structural damage that i could find.. apparently it was felt far and wide covering most of victoria / nsw and even tasmania.. anybody else here had a similar experience ?.

1995 generation change
by Gorb innow, many years later, i remember the 1995 generation change, very well.. since early youth, hearing my father explaining in field service the 2520 years.
it was his main theme in the field.. with the change my doubts started.
with some jw friends we did not trust the organization anymore.

we restarted from deepest poverty, after special pioneering, after the "superior authority" reboot.
wt had been 100% wrong. and we taught it to unsuspecting innocents.
the wt 1914 generation fiasko is worse, 200% wrong.
it can not extend 160 years to 2075 or never end, and
it can not be the anointed, they will pass away, according to wt, before Armageddon, not after.

wt and the elders dont want any competition.
by waton inthis week's wt study: "dont stir up competition" !
wt leaders and reigning elders have won the often dirty rise to compete for the top.
(no special education required as in bbtg), they now admonish the rank and file: do not rock the boat, do not stir up more competition.

It will require airfare to visit
GT. if you have a month summer vacation, as most great teachers have, take a camper or a van across the land. great sights and sites to see, Niagara, Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, the Redwoods.
Even Yosemite has some respectable walk-in with sky light Sequoias (a highlight of my life with my then 9 year old daughter standing inside a thousand year old living giant) beats Jonah et al.
skip the fake shows, disney and the rollercoasters and drive . it is better to travel than to arrive.

protecting the oldest generation.
by waton inthis tree is named after a general, because the us called in the army to protect these oldtimers; now wrapped in a fire proof blanket.
(it has already a 4 feet fireproof bark).
when will canada do the same, on it's west coast and brazil in the amazon?

logging and mineral/oil/gas extracting rights might not be controlled by the ownership. These licenses are inside jobs between politicians and their relatives/friends./ contributors. YOU WOULD HAVE TO BUY THE POLITICIANS WHO ARE ALREADY OWNED.
I understand the "owners" are a tribe, with elder's opinion split between those that want the payout and others that see the trees as heritage.
If you have seen the Sequoias, and seen the vast devastation scenes after the loggers are done, you would approve the protest, the army protection too I hope, hoser.
afterthought: plants big and small make life possible for us.

The forest service wants to protect this old Sherman tree for money.h: of course they are paid. but the US cavalry that fought off the loggers, did so on orders by far sighted, altruistic officials.
The last giant trees of Canada ( always 10% in size of the US in every way) deserve the same protection. These trees are symbols of our hope for a long life; for life on this planet - period. they are the ultimate evolutionary survivors, producing the best offspring, with the thickest light bark, engineered like shuttle tiles.
It take millenia to create trees like that, minutes to kill, with modern equipment. gone forever.
Google Port Renfrew, looks like great surfing, black sky astronomy too. so:
identify your precious heritage in canada and post the army. name them "Methuselah tree" as they do in the US for the real old one.
retrain your loggers as computer programmers.

This is what - just about every Border in the United States looks like today.
by pistolpete inbiden ordered the ffa to stop all cameras from taking pictures or recording this mess.. the doj is fighting to allow millions of immigrants into the country with covid.
all immigrants don't have to take the vaccine or be tested.. terrorists from countries that hate america are entering the country.. guns are disappearing from the local stores, everyone is buying them out.
there is no doubt that this administration wants to destroy america.

I’m not sure about you waton,
Hoser, neither am I, My family has a recent immigrant history, waiting years in line to come legally, doing work in designated industries. In the US, it would take me decades to get an immigration visa with the legal quota of my birth nationality. .
We have a long history of total integration, not the multi-culti- tribal ghettoization, what we see today.
What many are objecting to, is the illegal immigration industry, with the abuse of laws that were designed to deal with honest people, and crying out loud cases, such as the attempt of the Jewish people to escape Europe's slaughters.
illegals will create a lawless society, liars will do the same. so, I am not sure about me , of what will happen. Hoser.

in other places sold khs are turned into churches.
The early christians destroyed, burned valuable religious objects to prevent their abuse. kh should be burned rather than passed on to Babylon the Great, the GP.

not the northern, the border with Canada, there the illegals after having arrived in the safe US from Nigeria, Haiti, etc, leave America, continue north to the more generous canadian welfare system. years of living off the taxpayer, legal help to the supreme court, great.
