i was under the impression that it was going to be a short war, that russia’s military would indeed subdue ukraine’s forces quickly but that is not happening.
seems that russia’s military power is much less than it’s reputed to be.
no guess how it will all end..
not saying, that authoritarian regimes can not do great things for their populations, China is to be admired to have lifted the Billion to great prosperity and worldwide strength.
Europe has seen its wars in the last century or two, but nothing like the savagery of the eastern conflicts, (without attaching blame) Gorby and all of my generation want it to stop.
our witness friend who during covid grew his beard has been hassled by elders who asked him "why" he chose to have facial growth.
he for real, had to give an answer why.
this is pharasees total rubbish.
men were the outdoor protectors of the families, and sunshine does terrible things to skin and lips. Beards are natural protection for these areas.
While surfing up and down the coast of California, Hawaii, the pacific islands, I was known as the "tape man" , for covering my lips, cheeks and of course wearing a hat while on the board. On occasions my lips got burned, I looked like a Hiroshima survivor, my wife refused to kiss me ha ha. That what happens when near arctic dwellers invade other's spaces. so
let proven natural features reign. smooth faces are for the ladies, the biblical "workers at home" .

what Russia has to come to realize is, that its neighbours do want to hugged by the bear, The populations are still bearing the marks of Russian expansionism. Fortunately for Russia, in its 20th century foray into Europe, attacking Poland, the baltics, Finland, the west was on their side.
The west is now closing ranks, they had enough of the constant threat from the east.
The line has to be drawn at the russian border.
Matka, babushka russia, look after your children first, bring them up to the normal, western standards.

this is interesting : matt 26:28 for this means my 'blood of the covenant,' which is to be poured out in behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins.according to wt, the christian greek scriptures were ( see copy ) wt 74 6/15 serve with eternity in view : also, it is to the spirit-anointed christians who will rule in that kingdom that most of the christian greek scriptures is directed, including the promises of everlasting life ( pasted from wt 74 6/15).
so matt 26:28 is at the lord's evening meal where the new covenant is being initiated.
drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.” V
Right, and there has to be a distinction made between everlasting live, as Adam& Eve had and immortality, that only the Father, and Christ after his resurrection possess.
everlasting life is potentially restored by the blood of the new covenant, for all, regardless of future destination. The sealed 144 000 have to sacrifice the right to everlasting life to gain immortality, like their forbearer J.C.
The wt's two tier memorial scheme is a stand alone doctrinal monstrosity without scriptural basis.

The mosaic covenant was with all the 12 tribes of Israel, not just with Judah and Levi. To correspond,
The New Covenant, for foregiveness of sins, is with all the members of all tribes of the Israel of God, not just with the small number of 144 k that are sealed out of them, according to Rev. 7.
according to past wt doctrine the 12 tribes of Israel are the non anointed of the earth. figure.

partaking with Jesus, and yet JW instruct only the anointed can partake.
eie, consider that jesus was not partaking with the apostles. he only served***.
to the contrary, he did all non anointed to partake for he said eat and drink all of you [ not yet anointed]. Every partaker is a potential anointed, wt's contention that the number is full notwithstanding.
All believers should partake, have their "sins" symbolically forgiven, qualify for everlasting life.
The 144 000 are willing to sacrifice that privilege, give up earthly perfect life to rule in heaven, and
are willing, and actually die a violent death to rule for a thousand years. REv. 20.
*** wt has it all wrong about the memorial.
at the last supper, the anointed abstained, the earthly hopers partook,
at the wt memorial, the earthly hopers abstain, the anointed partake. anti biblical, anti christian.

Are you really including Pearl Harbour in with these other two?
Perhaps Japan felt that an attack on Hawai's military was justified given the encroachment of whitey on the Asian hemisphere they considered their domain.
In history it often took a small spark. or a [mis]-match to start an conflagration.

was not Iraq ultimately to drive them personally off the map as agressors, for having invaded the little rich neighbour Kuwait?
An excuse perhaps but worked with gdansk, pearl harbor, the tonkin golf.
Does not the new putin doctrine reflect the Monroe guaranties of a different era and area?
thesis: when someone who is given a responsibility mistakes that responsibility for authority, bullying is very likely to occur.. jesus spoke an illustration recorded at matthew 24: 45-51 which well illustrates this thesis.. jesus asked, “who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over all his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?
happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so.
truly i say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.
When the officers of wt inc. realized in 1914, 1925, 1975, 2000, that their predictions did not come true, they and their underling sheep hounds, wt appointed elders, saw that they could mistreat the sheep with impunity. because
their doctrinal house of cards , that included punishment of their opposers, is just that. ready to collapse at any time.
As to "Jesus" as the slave? how effective is "he" as the ruling king of the 1914 kingdom version?
"He" does better in the Col. 1:13 version in the kingdom of Love for the congregation.
we seem to be if a more secular society here in the west, these days.
i'm speaking from the uk.. with the lack of belief in god/s, i'm wondering if all the seeming (note: i said seeming!
), deification of people like greta thunberg, george floyd and celebs amongst others, if people who have no real belief system, are filling the gap left by god with people?.
"-as Pontious, when he was a pilot asked: was it truth? "
, good one.
