  1. Robin Hood, "In times of tyranny and injustice, when the law oppresses the people, the outlaw takes his place in history." Thank goodness we have the Kingdom hope!
  2. Twenty-six officers have been injured while policing a protest organised by far-right activist Tommy Robinson, which saw up to 150,000 people march through central London. Tensions flared at the Unite the Kingdom rally, with some protesters throwing bottles and other projectiles at police, the Metropolitan Police said – leaving four seriously hurt. Tech billionaire Elon Musk spoke to protesters on Whitehall via videolink; while 5,000 people joined a nearby counter-protest organised by Stand Up To Racism. The Met said 25 people had been arrested for a range of offences in what it described as "wholly unacceptable" violence.
  3. We need God's kingdom and the elimination of all the amendments including the second - as none of them will be necessary.
  4. Joel and the locusts .... Remember this article? https://www.jw.org/finder?srcid=jwlshare&wtlocale=E&prefer=lang&docid=2020364 I knew of someone who was stumbled by this previous explanation. If only he would have waited for this clarification.... He would still be serving with us. It's a good lesson to wait on clarifications rather than running ahead. This locus plague is not connected to the one at Revelation chapter 9! Then there would be restoration... Paul was inspired to make that connection.
  5. You too. I m glad you are ok. This is just a good reminder to me of what happens when I slack off on my chocolate eating! Seriously, I'm glad you're okay bro!
  6. I loved this from the education thread - I'll plagiarize it here: As the situation of the governments of the world deteriorates with increasing power grabs, how grateful are we for the divine wisdom to grant more freedom and trust to Jehovah's servants worldwide to serve Jehovah with their "power of reason" (Rom 12:1). This is bringing us closer and closer to that position where each one can truly "carry his own load" (Gal 6:5). May you all carry your load well and keep Jehovah's principles clearly in mind Under His yoke, the load is light, but without it ... It may be too heavy to carry.
  7. Nothing in my post discussed faith or a lack of it. Are you bringing up faith because you're noticing there's a connection between a person's faith and their appearance? It seems you regularly connect these two things together. Do you feel there's a deep connection between these two? The guy described with the body armor, with the guns and the grenades, he may have a deep and abiding faith and a deep love for his God as well. Who am I to judge. But if I'm the attendant - I'm not letting him in the door!
  8. You know what we need is a magazine that clearly discusses an end to war & violence .... And then we should have a global campaign to distribute it .....
  9. Well it is true the elders don't need to tell you how to dress. It is also true that it's up to the body of elders to decide whether you're exemplary and qualify to auxiliary pioneer, pioneer, be in any type of appointed position, etc. So, work closely with those tasked to help you make it through the greatest tests mankind has EVER been through. We will need our elders. It's good to learn how to cooperate with them now as you won't be able to learn later.
  10. And of course your local body of elders.... (See Heb 13:17)
  11. It is important to note - having standards is not judging someone. No one would want someone to walk into the Kingdom Hall with full body armor, guns and an AR-15 strap to their back. Nor would anyone want someone in the Kingdom Hall that wore a stinking meat dress like Lady Gaga did. So, there must be some line somewhere that your local body of elders is going to have to establish between what is decent and what isn't. That's not judging. That's having an acceptable Bible based standard. We all remember that "decency is the boundary of tolerance." The definition of decency is going to change based on the area you're in but not go beyond Bible principles. PS for the body armor, I don't draw that line until they add hand grenades hanging on the outside to their kit.
  12. We can't share until it's announced at the Kingdom Hall and that doesn't happen until next week
  13. Unfortunately, our county assessor doesn't list individual apartments as they are not individual APNs. For condos I could get that, but not apartments
  14. Okay next couple questions as we start practicing with some territories. 1. Is there a way for the territory servant to be notified that a new do not call has been added? I'm just wondering about accidents. 2. And what about apartment buildings? I see that there's a way to right click and add the number of them, but short of driving to every apartment building and counting up how many units are in each one? Is there a simpler way to know how many units there are?
