what started as news of a man and woman being found unconscious on a park bench 12 days ago is escalating into an international incident.. sergei skripal had worked as a double agent for british intelligence mi6 before he was discovered and imprisoned in russia in 2006. he was later flown to england as part of a spy-swap in 2010. on sunday 4th march he was discovered along with his 33 year old daughter yulia close to a shopping centre in salisbury.. since then the story has become increasingly bizarre.
a policeman who was first to attend the scene also became critically ill and remains in hospital.
government scientists at porton down have confirmed that the cause is a russian military-grade nerve agent novichok.
Either Putin sanctioned this or there are elements operating independently of his power.
This possibility must be seriously considered.
Perhaps there is some kind of Game of Thrones battle going on in Russia between Putin and somebody with deep connections to the military, capable of getting that toxin. Putin may have been framed by another potential oligarch, maybe tied to a competing wing of the Russian mafia. There are always competing factions in organized crime.

Of all the ways to kill people, why be so stupid as to use nerve agents banned under international treaties? Something's wrong with this picture. The Russians aren't stupid. Either they wanted to send a message and were willing to pay the price or it was a false flag attack.
happy st. paddy's day.. that being said, life is a bag of shit.. so please give me some sort of positivity in this post.. i wish i could get it from whom i would like it from, but that is a bullshit dream.. life sucks then you die!.
jk.
My life sucks right now too - and I know things could be worse for sure - but that in its self, does not magically make you feel better.
i used to get a weird feeling in my stomach when i would see a witness approaching.... almost a sense of dread.
now, i really don’t care.
i have even made it a point to do the approaching when i see a witness trying to convert an ignorant person..
It would bother me when I first left. Not any more. They don't bother me. Always treat them nice.
i believe the early christians going back as far as constantine changed the ritual of a savior coming and the resurrection of the messiah from the spring equinox to the following full moon.
or should i say the full moon after the spring equinox.
so why the change?
What change?
There were two groups from long before Constantine:
One group celebrated Easter on the Sunday immediately after the post equinox full moon (unless the moon landed on that date).
The other group on the same date as the Jewish Passover...the date of that full moon.
And then there's calendrical differences that last to this day (Julian vs Gregorian).
Whatever the system, to this day Easter is a moveable feast. The solar date varies based on the position of the post equinox moon.

"Each year, this observance is the most amazing unifying event that takes place on planet earth."
Such a liar. Anyone who has experienced the carefully synchronized crescendo of snores emitted during a Gerrit Losch address on a Sunday afternoon knows this honor goes to a JW convention.
may 1969. i didn't know i was in trouble.now, years later, i suddenly do see it.. we're not talking drugs.
i never did drugs.
ever.nothing is worse than stone cold sober.what i did was more destructive: i had mainlined on god.a weird brand of god: jehovah god.. i was shredded and unaware.
So you stomped it in an underpowered car. How brave. Really great. You Boomers act like you're the only generation that's ever lived. Nobody cares other than that it will have to all be paid for by the rest of us. You people screwed the pooch but we get the bills.

crazy kim again....could happen?
thoughts?.
Im sure this will be largely ignored by the libs who decried trunp as a mad man and thought obamas timidity was laudable.
He said it 20 years ago.
this came up recently with my dyed-in-the-wool jw pioneer mother, who swears up and down that there are no scriptural instances of this happening.
i seem to remember a couple passages, but can't remember where they were..
Humbled: There is a big, BIG, difference between Roman Catholic liturgy and the far more ancient liturgy of Judaism--which is far more ancient by thousands of years.
As someone descended from Sephardi crypto Jews and who has attended both Jewish and Catholic services on more than a few occasions, I call bullshit. The similarities are striking, which is to be expected for two religions coming from a common cultural source. As for modern Judaism, it itself is a derivative of an older religion, making it less ancient than Jews claim. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbinic_Judaism
