I agree with the idea of your comment, Bible Speaks, but the science part reminds me of a talk I heard one Sunday at the KH, years ago, where the speaker was talking on "The Wonders of Creation", and it was clear he did not know the difference between a planet and a star. Few talks I remember after many years ... but that one was so painful I have scars. -
It has to come with insight, and discernment. Â

I was mentioning that same thing the other day to Bro. Drysdale ............

I am trying to keep my life simple .... all I need is a 15 passenger amphibious helicopter, by Mercedes Benz. My friends all have Jet Planes. I must make amends.

There are Many different kinds of TRUTH. The Bible does not speak at all what you must truly know to repair a jet turbine aircraft engine. etc., etc., etc.

I dunno, I coulda sworn water and sunshine were necessary .... silly me.

It is NOT the financiers and investors' fault that the 5% outrageous profits they make are generated by the 95% of people who are in the game willingly .... and think they are competent .... when they are NOT. The profits come from the 95% of people who DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING. It does not just fall from the sky like green rain! This is what happens when you bring a knife to a gun fight.

Demonism and the Watchtower
James Thomas Rook Jr. replied to Alessandro Corona's topic in Jehovah’s Witnesses's Topics
What throws a shoe into the careful logic is that the Christian Greek Scriptures were written in ...oh ... what's the word I am looking for ...OH YEAH! ... Greek! ACID TEST: Get a Bible written IN GREEK, their equivalent of the KJV, whatever that is ... and ask a native Greek educated person to explain John 1:1 to you. Probably some regular folks at any Greek Orthodox Church. Might be a good experiment on a Sunday morning, after breakfast. To find out who knows what ... ask him (or her) if they understand what a greek anarthrous predicate is. If they do ... show them the scripture. All else is fibrillation for delusion. -
TTH: I might want to take down 10,000 or so graphics? WHY? I do not NEED a perfect cover ... or any kind of "cover" at all ..... It is YOU that hide behind five or six different "anonymous username" logins. That is a fact. What you have is a projection FANTASY.
-
I know you have many personalities here, all with names and logins, but the TTH persona keeps projecting what HE is afraid of ... to me. That is NOT the case.

Ferengi Rule of Acquisition No. 281: ( Ferengi are a species from StarTrek that was particularly highlighted in Deep Space 9. Their religion is commerce and their society is determined by profit. ) 281.) Blood is thicker than water, but harder to sell.

. The thought just occurred to me .... under the current "rules", if my name was James Stalin, or James Hitler ... there would be no congregational sanctions against me going to a family reunion with my older brother Josef Stalin, or Adolph Hitler .... or even spending the weekend at their Dachas or Fortresses. I am 70 years old .... but I am expected to treat my real (theoretical) sister who was baptized in the 2nd grade, at 8 years old, like dirt, and WORSE .... completely shunning her ... when she turns 50 and decides she made a mistake getting baptized so young, or makes other mistakes common to humans. If I don't ... well ... uh .... you know ....... (makes throat cutting gesture with finger). It is more cruel than even Ah can stomach. (Blood is thicker than water .... but apparently not as thick as wielding and consolidating political power ... )

Sell a man a fish ... and you feed him for a day. TEACH a man to fish .. and you lose a steady customer. Isn't there a scripture about " ... and no one will say "Know Jehovah", because everyone WILL know Jehovah ..." (paraphrased)? ... then people will have to get REAL jobs. ( merely a random rant ... it IS Friday ... time to punish more innocent people for what their relatives and friends have done...)

As the Ferengi Rules Of Acquisition state: 34.) "War is good for business". 35.) "Peace is good for business".

JWs Among the Least Educated in the US
James Thomas Rook Jr. replied to Jack Ryan's topic in Jehovah’s Witnesses's Topics
There are some ...perhaps MANY of us, that without a college education, would be COMPLETELY unemployable.

. The Truth Brings, “Not Peace, But a Sword” This has ALWAYS been the case ... everywhere, all the time, amongst EVERYBODY, always. Nothing new. HOWEVER .... The "sword" comes from the evil people that prefer lies to TRUTH, not the other way around. .

It is SO REFRESHING for me not to care anymore about who "Gog of Magog" is, was, or might be. If I understood it fully, to the best of my knowledge it would have absolutely NO practical application to any aspect of my life. If I am wrong ... please correct me. Until then, I am leaving this load of rocks that I used to carry around on the side of the road. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

The expression "keeping your head in the sand " refers to the common perception that when an Ostrich is in danger, he or she will stick their head in the sand, and if they cannot SEE the danger ... there IS no danger. I remember seeing a female Ostrich being chased by a male Ostrich all around a Zoo enclosure, and after awhile, she was getting very tired .... so she screeched to a stop, and put her head in the sand. The male Ostrich screeched to a stop behind her, and looked around as if to say "Where did she go? Where did she go?".

One thing that PRO abortion people ... and ANTI abortion people do have in common. They have ALREADY been born.

SURPRISE!

..probably would be harder if one did not live in Maui, Hawaii ... say a small coal mining town in West Virginia. It all depends on "fire in the belly!" to get whatever it is you want. Everything comes to him who waits ...... and hustles while he waits!

...besides .... microbial life forms refer to humans as "big ugly bags of mostly water". I try not to encourage them. Remember .... it's all a matter of perspective. They are looking UP the microscope, at the giant eyeball.

In Bath County, Virginia, high in the State's western mountains, is an artificial lake that acts as a "battery" for Nuclear power generators in Louisa County in mid-State, and at the Coast. It allows Nuclear reactors to operate at a constant rate. They pump water uphill into the lake at low demand, and at high demand times use the elevated water to generate hydroelectric power. The Bath County Pumped Storage Station is a pumped storage hydroelectric power plant, which is described as the “largest battery in the world”, with a generation capacity of 3,003 MW. The station is located in the northern corner of Bath County, Virginia, on the southeast side of the Eastern Continental Divide, which forms this section of the border between Virginia and West Virginia. The station consists of two reservoirs separated by about 1,260 feet (380 m) in elevation. It is the largest pumped-storage power station in the world. Construction on the power station, with an original capacity of 2,100 megawatts (2,800,000 hp), began in March 1977 and was completed in December 1985 at a cost of $1.6 billion, Voith-Siemens upgraded the six turbines between 2004 and 2009, increasing power generation to 500.5 MW and pumping power to 480 megawatts (640,000 hp) for each turbine. Bath County Station is jointly owned by Dominion Generation (60%) and FirstEnergy (40%), and managed by Dominion. It stores energy for PJM Interconnection, a regional transmission organization in 13 states and the District of Columbia. ( from Wikipedia )
