Maybe someone in that video lost privileges or was removed from Jw

When you look at how ancient civilisations worked, you can see how closely entrenched religion has always been with politics of their time, and mostly, it was a fundamental part of politics. In ancient Egypt, the priests were closely aligned with the Pharoah, and at times, more influential than the Pharoah himself. The priests were supplied with all their needs directly by the Pharoah's treasury. And no different with other civilisations over the millenia. However, when religion gains too much control over the peoples, then the peoples will rise up and put religion back out of the powerful position they had been in. And over time, religion regains power, then losses, regains, losses. So we could be seeing the final aligning of politics and religious fervor, before their downfall for good. Who knows exactly?? Well, we all do know when He eventually does picks his time, don't we? (He is not referring to Tortuga or any other posters above btw)

Reporting an error in a car is done electronically and turns on the check engine light. New word: electronically

It really makes me appreciate the new understanding of how Jehovah will initiate world events. If we saw a ultra religious politician in office, we might think Jehovahs Day was delayed and be discouraged, but now we understand that it doesn't matter...

Life is full of irony. I expect a right wing (formerly) ultra religious (even if it's lip service) politician to be in charge when the attack on BTG begins

Never have I ever been kicked off of a game thread on this site, yet.

Current in water is different from current in news reporting. New word: reporting

Elijah (elja) and Joel (jael) mean the same thing, in reverse.

Perfect

Shakespeare himself could not have come up with a more ridiculous cast of characters than what we currently see on the world stage. The whole world is a farce.

The new pope is from Chicago and is a Chicago White Sox fan. Last year the White Sox were the worst team in baseball, this year they may be in the post-season playoffs... Is someone listening to the popes prayers???

Homer’s Odyssey contains an ancient description of sheep-and-goat-milk curds that Greeks sometimes point to as an early ancestor of Feta.

Hegseth wrote a book about how the path to restoring American greatness is "faith-based warrior ethos" leading to a "new American Crusade." So he needs a more direct injection of "Christian principles" to achieve this Crusade. I'm not sure if he thinks manifest destiny was an American Crusade or not. It's basically colonialism wearing a Scooby Doo monster mask.

Really nice!

The closer they are, the less likely they will miss... In the old Mafia movies, the bad guy would pretend to be his enemies friend so he could get close enough to...you know...

Lol..."his 'one thought'"?

nice springboard

We aren't looking for 'one' nation to split with God. We're waiting for all governments to do so. While 'turning up the heat' is a time honored precursor to a messy breakup, in truth we don't need a trigger. The WT has said point blank that the 'one thought' will not have to come from any current event.

It's interesting that the government is apparently trying to strengthen the connection with religion while we have been looking for just the opposite. Huh....

Do you end up watching TV at their house?
