  1. Past hour
  2. and.... the vast wealth accumulated by BgT would have to go somewhere..... remove religion for peace and (financial) security by offsetting huge debt.
  3. “At God’s appointed time, those political powers will turn on symbolic Babylon. They “will make her devastated and naked” by plundering her wealth and exposing her wickedness” - WT September 2019. A third of Satan’s System gone suddenly.
  4. Today
  5. Chicago got its nickname as the Windy City b/c of its politicians, who were titled "wind bags."
  6. Yesterday
  7. Things you shouldn't say: "Seems like there is not much task to do at work today."
  8. Things you shouldn't say: Saying the word "YOU" in Korean before arriving to Korea. "6" "7"
  9. Things you shouldn't say: Did I turn off my stove before going to the airport? Do I have my passport? When it said 08:00, was it 8 am or 8 pm?
  10. GOOSE Go often on search expeditions. EXPEL
  11. Our current understanding is that the hailstone message may or may not be us preaching, but i agree we would need some time for that.
  12. Eating vegetables every-day requires yielding. BLOON
  13. We'll need more than a few days to preach the hailstorm message.
  14. What shouldn't you say to a Bible student who comes to their first meeting dressed scantily?
  15. BTG owns a lot of businesses. If you strip businesses from them, they cannot function. This will happen.
  16. Thursday, November 20 Jehovah’s spirit empowered him.—Judg. 15:14. When Samson was born, the Philistines were ruling over the nation of Israel and oppressing it. (Judg. 13:1) Their harsh rulership brought great suffering to the Israelites. Jehovah chose Samson to “take the lead in saving Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.” (Judg. 13:5) To fulfill this challenging assignment, Samson would have to rely on Jehovah. On one occasion, a Philistine military force had come to capture Samson at Lehi, evidently in Judah. The men of Judah were afraid, so they decided to hand Samson over to the enemy. Samson’s own people bound him securely with two new ropes and brought him to the Philistines. (Judg. 15:9-13) However, “Jehovah’s spirit empowered” Samson and he freed himself from the ropes. He then “found a fresh jawbone of a male donkey,” picked it up, and used it to strike down 1,000 Philistine men!—Judg. 15:14-16. w23.09 2 ¶3-4
  17. After answering a question by Art, Jimmy added that Feds had been after Brian's human family for their questioning medication of Speedy Brian, an aging Gelding,who upset the track betting by out - running a much younger pony, Highway Robbery and that Speedy Brian's owner had signed an agreement with some jockeys that if any one of them won the Kentucky, they would split the purse, 50 % for rider, 25% to current owners of that horse, 25% to any extant owners of Brian; "always coming, always closing" then Jimmy gulped a swallow of his drink.
  18. This is why I think the attack will be along the lines of making it illegal for religions to meet together or own property. Without brick and mortar churches and temples and religious schools, most all religions will cease. Of course, this would affect us. No more Bethel, no more print facilities, no more Kingdom Halls. However, unlike Christendom, we don't need any physical locations like that. The pandemic showed us we can meet om Zoom and continue to function as normal. We can still have our app, still be fed by the Slave, still hold meetings and still preach (even if that preaching is completely informal or under ban.) After the destruction of false religion and the pause that follows, the nations will see we are still preaching and teaching and worshipping. This will enrage the nations to turn on us specifically.
  19. Yes we are getting all 9 as well. 800 of each, that works out about 10 for each publisher.
  20. Friday's ruckus angered new Karens K A R E N
  21. I don't think we will be destroyed in the attack because we know how to go underground, whereas other religions would fight back. Let's take one possible scenario: if they change the law so that all churches have to pay taxes, we might be the only one that could legitimately pay them. That alone would spare us from destruction even though the attack was technically made on all religions. When they realize we survived, that's when God of Magog attacks. Another scenario: if worship is banned, we go straight to Zoom and carry on while other religions protest and riot. By the time they are done quashing the descentors, we will be the only ones still worshipping and they won't even notice because we're underground. We preach the hailstone message and Gog of Magog tries to destroy us. Getting out of Babylon the Great is what will protect us because we won't be on a list of their members or joining in with their protests.

    • Modern references to creative days:
       
      *** w15 6/1 p. 5 How Science Affects Your Life ***
      The Bible fixes no duration for the six creative “days.” Instead, it opens the door for modern scientists to study them and assign accurate time spans to them. We know that the creative “days” were much longer than 24-hour days.
       
      *** g21 No. 3 p. 12 What the Bible Tells Us ***
      So each of the six creative “days” during which God prepared the earth for life and created life on it could represent extremely long periods of time.
       
      *** g 1/14 p. 12 Creation ***
      WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS God created the universe, including the earth, in the indefinite past—“in the beginning,” as Genesis 1:1 says. Modern science agrees that the universe had a beginning. A recent scientific model suggests it to be almost 14 billion years old.
       
      *** lc pp. 26 Science and the Genesis Account ***
      A careful consideration of the Genesis account reveals that events starting during one “day” continued into one or more of the following “days.”

      I am thoroughly convinced that 99% of people are programmed, and only 1% really think & reason on matters.

      As an example, how did the above statement make you feel right away?

      Did you:

      1. Feel a twinge of offense?  Like I was insulting you or someone you know?

      2. Not feel anything?  Because you knew it wasn't about you or someone you cared about?



      If you answered either 1 or 2, you are programmed.

      Now are you offended?  

      Any knee-jerk reaction = programming.  🤔🤔🤔

      When I originally made that statement, if you are not programmed, then perhaps you asked yourself:

      1. Could this apply to me?
      2. Could the brother be mistaken?
      3. Is there any truth to what he's saying?
      4. What is the brother trying to convey with this thought?
      5. Is this situation even worth my time and attention?

      We need knee-jerk reactions for life-or-death situations.  For snap decisions that cannot wait.  But this isn't one of those.  You have time.  Did you ask any of those questions when you read my first statement?  Did you ponder over it at all?

      NOW how do you feel?  A little enlightened?  Mind opening up to new possibilities for responding to situations?  Or more upset because this brother has no idea what he's talking about?  

      In any case, hope you had fun with this thought experiment....
