Will the end come on the 6000th anniversary of Adam's death (2026), thus ushering in the seventh millennial day?

I wonder how angels count time? Do they sleep? Do they have a 'Daily' routine! How long is a day?

Tip #3 They say cash is king, but when it comes to buying new cars, it isn't, or at least the dealers don't see it that way. They hate cash buyers because they make little profit on car sales compared to financing (Now, I'm all for being debt-free and actually owning your car, not the bank or the manufacturer). Because of this, NEVER tell the dealership you’re paying cash. Because when you do, the price of the car just shot up because now they know they can't make money off of financing, and you’re less likely to purchase things like bumper-to-bumper warranties, wheel-and-tire packages, etc., so they will try to make as much money off the car's price. Car salespeople will ask how you’re paying for the car to try to figure out how to structure their deal. In the past, I thought I was being smart by telling the salesman that I didn't want to disclose how I was paying for the car until we agreed to an OTD price. But all that ever did was drive up the car's price because they suspected I was going to pay cash, and ended up wasting my time. To make things easier and simpler, now I just tell them I'm financing. That way, I get the best deal, I can pay the car off a week or two later once the payment option is set up, and only pay a few dollars in interest, and the slimy dealership doesn't get a kickback. To pay as little interest as possible, I put down as much as I can, except the minimum allowed to finance, and then pay the car off a week later. I also put as much down as the dealer will allow with a cashback credit card, without charging a fee (usually about $3,000 or $3,500), and pay it back before the due date. That way I can earn cash back, so I basically pay myself back for the little interest I will pay, plus some. I'm not encouraging anyone to get a credit card, and please don't spend money on one you can't pay back before the due date. But if you already have a cashback credit card and use it responsibly, you can use it to your advantage. If you decide to go this route, be sure to ask whether there's a prepayment penalty for paying off the car early. If there is, don't finance it if you want to pay it off early. If you don't want to be in debt, even for a week, I get it. I don't like it either. But know, if you pay cash, you will more than likely overpay for it. But do your research on what people are paying for the car you want in your market, and negotiate a better deal. Knowing the invoice price helps, too.

Is this the 1914 puzzle again? The brothers made two mistakes in their calculations, but they were offsetting mistakes, leading to the correct date of 1914. 4026 (descending) + 2026 (ascending) = 6052

Only to get my car's value to show a dealer for trade-in leverage. I only buy new cars. I've given up on used cars years ago because I've had many of them and they all turned out to be lemons. Plus, I’m so particular about maintenance that I don't like to buy used cars because most people don't maintain them as good as I do.

Tip #2 Never get emotionally attached or let your emotions take over when buying a car. Car buying can be an emotional experience, especially if you’re buying a car you really love or is “your dream car.” But never show salespeople you love the car. Keep a “poker face.” Car salespeople are trained to get you to test drive the car as soon as possible. They know all too well the powerful effect of “the desire of the eyes.” They want you to see the car, smell it, drive it, and fall in love with it. They know once you’ve fallen in love with it, your logic goes out the window, and they know you are more likely to be manipulated and overpay for it. Never tell a car salesperson you love a car, and certainly never tell them it's your “dream car.” That's one of the worst things you could ever say. Sometimes, if they can't read you, they will ask you questions after the test drive like, “Are you excited?!” Never give them the answer they are looking for. Instead say something like, ‘I like it, but the out the door price will determine if I buy it or not,’ if that hasn't already been determined.

Tip #1 The best thing you can do before buying a car is pray. Ask Jehovah to help you find a reliable car for a good price. Ask him to help you find one that is not only suitable for your daily needs but also for the ministry, if you’ll be using it for that purpose. If you’re buying a new car, pray that you will be able to get one for a good or reasonable price. Also pray that the process be as stress free as possible. Never underestimate the power of prayer when buying a car. I've seen Jehovah’s hand so many times when I’ve bought cars. There was one time I even prayed to get a car for a certain price before I went to the dealership and got it for that exact dollar amount.

Hello, everyone. If you’ve lived in the U.S. and have bought cars from dealerships, you know it's a very stressful mind game. If you don't play your cards right, you could get taken advantage of and end up spending thousands more than you need to. In the U.S., two people can buy the same model car on the same day, and the price difference between the two purchases can be thousands of dollars. I have a lot of experience buying new and used cars. I've bought from both private sellers and dealerships, and can offer advice on both. I was taken advantage of when I was younger, and I wish someone had shared their wisdom with me and explained how to buy a car. I don't want any of my brothers and sisters taken advantage of, so I decided to start this thread so we can share car-buying tips and help each other out. I will also be posting videos from former finance managers with decades of experience, as well as from car salespeople offering tips on the car-buying process. Some of the tips may or may not be applicable in other countries. Enjoy.

Yes, I must do that, good advice.😁 Some of my plants do very badly, I will certainly look into that, and protect my little beauties 🌸🌹🌺🌼

Actually, following the recent direction about "where the Bible is silent, we are silent", the answer to Adam having as belly button is: It is possible Jehovah gave him one ... the Bible does not say either way

Yes. Talk to your Field Service Group Overseer or any of the elders in your congregation.

Some years back I came across a Russellite in the course of my secular work. I had witnessed to her in the course of conversation while I was working in her office. That's when she told me she was a Russellite. She said they held meetings once a month in a town about 35 miles south of us. Even though I had not known there were any Russellites in our area nor did I know they held meetings - it did NOT make me want to look them up, do research about them or dig any deeper. If someone asked me to prove that there are active Russellites in our area I would simply tell them they could research it - that I have no interest in digging into such a subject. Just because someone asks about another religion does not mean we have to go research that religion to teach them the truth. I would not search YouTube to find out about meetings for Baptists, Catholics, Lutherans, Mormons, Russellites, Bible Students or any other religion ... I would show someone how to find a JW meeting by using jw.org

A good thing to keep in mind for container plantings on patio or concrete surfaces: to prevent direct transfer of heat into the pot (which can damage roots) raise it up a bit on a raised stand. You can repurpose old trivets without spending a lot for fancy plant stands. Most plants don’t like their “feet” hot. Me neither LOL. I have discovered that old fashioned geraniums do quite well in the heat in containers, with regular watering. And there are a myriad of colors.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam Michelangelo painted it on Adam.

The Insight Volume says Adam was created in 4026 B.C.E, 6000 years ago.

It’s a date! 😆
