amicable just finished reading the book: "A nice place to have a war" about CIA, Air America, Udorn, Hmong, Laos.
Even some of the Missionaries in Indochina were "characters".

15Factual, false, or phenomenon?
by stillin inthis strikes me as strange.
in the last few years i have met four newly associated, and in a couple of cases baptized, brothers in the congregations who say that they did long stints in secret branches of the military and that they were behind the lines, "wet work" operatives.
i might have considered it exceptional that one person who served in such a capacity would even go to church, let alone join up with the likes of jehovah's witnesses.

QFR - Posting JW publications on a personal website/social media
by Listener inthe following is a qfr from the april, 2018 watchtower.
just a couple of articles back the organization was explaining how jws need to be encouraging and even when admonishing congregations jesus would start out with encouraging words.
we see none of this in the qfr, rather, it is heavy handed and legally incorrect.. why is it not permissible to post publications of jehovah’s witnesses on a personal website or on social media?.

Why are the r&f called "publishers" if they aren't allowed to publish? stillin
well, at least in the past you were allowed to add some originality to your schpiel, in the "school" even the kids could comment on the bible reading (like "Jesus" in his home synagogue).
Wt is past that now. public will notice.

So we see the reflection off a small object that's not designed to reflect light to earth.. kairos
wrong. it is actually designed to reflect light. to keep it cool, in the glaring sunlight, shiny surfaces also keep warmer in the shade. The only surfaces on it, to absorb sunlight, stealth-like, are the solar panes, panels, turning the sun photons's energy into electricity.
The station can be seen at night with the naked eye, get their schedule for your location.
kairos, = appointed times, greek, this time for the viewing.

The rotating gyros should not respond in orientation to the rotating earth below, or the rotation of the station, if it synchronized with it's orbit every ~90 minutes, and shows the same side to the earth all the time as does the moon. Rotating objects keep their orientation in orbit, see Uranus' barrel orbit.
JWorg television showed the Earth background rotating clockwise at one time, but that was as seen from the space station, that orbits the in same direction than the earth rotates , but ~16 times faster.
liked the nutation of the video gyroscopes, the spinning Earth wobbles too, ~every Jubilee cycle. F.Franz would be pleased.

wish somebody would link them here.
There was a senator send up, he took a Yo Yo along. I suspect it was to try to pull himself along the corridors by using it as recoilless drive, prime mover. Reactionless drive the next impossible thing to a perpetual motion machine. gyros are amazing, motorcycles running for kilometers without ridere. tops not toppling.

1975 to 2075 a family story.
by waton ina fictional, composite tale of many true elements from a city called bostronno.
a young family man from a devout jw family was swept away in the late 60s by the enthusiasm to be in paradise by 1975. it all started at a book study with some very sincere and serious bible study members.
he turned his branch of the prosperous family business over to his brothers, and searched for a place to serve the rest of the old system's time out- in comfort and where the need was great.

. I know the account said “fish” but the ancients didn’t separate aquatic mammals from fish back then. ACTFheuser:
The born JWs in the stories, like Brother unplanned, as innocents, never thought children stories were to be questioned as being not TRUTH. These tall tales are supernatural
A man (preferably Gagarin's size) could be made to survive in a living aquatic animal for 4 days, by putting him in a acid proof suit, with air supply hoses in a Marine World basin. it might kill the creature though. psychologically damage gagarin2 the stomachnaut.
The anointed idea is supernatural, the overlapping 2=1, infinite=1 is meta math. supernatural
there is no greater feeling (almost) than being supernatural, while it lasts.---then..

BlueBrother, right, and few realise that this waiting for heaven or PPP can drag on until 2075 ? actually thinking in terms of ages involved? and in effect realising that it might never come, the wt has it outlined? because who has ever taken 2 generation=1 seriously?

- Pyramid?
- Doughnut?
- Conical?
- Square?
- Polygonal?
A 4 cornered Earth need not be a square, but can be a pyramid with a triangular base, but that would spoil the fun of the 2D no volume, no substance deflated earth earthers.
