Jean Cocteau (1889-1963) said ~ "One must not mistake majority for truth." I remind myself that doctors and newspapers are For-Profit entities.

A police officer called the station on his radio. "I have an intresting case here. An old lady shot her husband for stepping on the floor she just mopped." "Have you arrested the woman?"

Don’t forget the Oscars my sis. https://abcnews.com/GMA/Culture/oscars-2026-full-winners-list/story?id=130769299

News media prior to and present is biased. I see it with Fox News, CNN, ABC World News, News Nation (new one for me), and the paper articles, like Daily Mail, Independent, Washington Post, The Associated Press (AP), Bloomberg News, Reuters, Agency France-Presse (AFP), The BBC, Xinhua News Agency and on and on and on! I see them as Satan's organizations. You can't take them at their word. Words of honor flew out yrs ago. Plus lots are very political. To over whelming. I catch a local channel and weather. Jw.org for What's New. The brothets pretty up to date with real News that matters.

My congregation cobie, last Saturday went out a week before start of memorial invitations and bought himself a hybrid Hyundai suv. It gets 35 miles per gallon on the hybrid side. We didn't go to far since territory for memorial was around the Kingdim hall. But he was thrilled. But like sister Bea said Jehovah see's the problem and he will take care of it since this is our King's memorial. And we need to get out there in territory!

And in that time you have found a completely honest and reputable secular source? Without you being there to eyewitness the events (whatever events we are considering), what is your litmus test to determine or verify the sources you trust are trustworthy? What sources do you consider reliable, trustworthy, and truthful? This sounds aggressive and perhaps offensive. I apologize.

I would love to visit Japan someday.

I think that song ("Pure Energy") was by Information Society

😂😂. NOW I see it!! Your other post was hidden by time… Had to go back in time to read that 1st - Glad we’re on the same page!

Job 26:7 He stretches out the northern sky over empty space, Suspending the earth upon nothing; Nothing is what’s holding up the entire earth! Not hardly stupid! 🤓🤓

It’s interesting that 90% of all U.S. news media, and virtually all the major sources, both left and right, are all owned by the same 6 companies. While there's some news media outlets that I don't care for, I try to remember that even the ones I do watch put their spin on things. In my opinion, both left and right news media are used in this country to indoctrinate, brainwash, mislead, distract, advertise, influence and have people in a constant state of fear and panic because fearful people are easier to control and contain since they are always looking for someone to guide and tell them what to do. While I don't think all news reported by mainstream media has an ulterior motive, it's good to take the things you hear and see in the media with a grain of salt.

Yep, that's what I was thinking and wanted to say that, since I am very familair with him and joke a lot with him, but didn't want to embarrass him or come off argumentative.

Ah, but you missed an important detail she was making.... Yes, like I said before, fake news is a real thing here in the USA, where left-wing biased media and right-wing biased media is always trying to spin a story to slam the opposing side. But when there is literally ZERO media claiming it's a hoax, trying to play it off like it was someone else's tomahawk missile, AND the international media who has no vested interest in slamming the current administration or meddling in American politics (i.e. "reputable") are reporting the same thing, the Pentagon is investigating it and the Trump-man himself admits it's a possibility, we can likely assume that at least this one time, they are reporting the truth, lol

Sequel to “Nothing Is Stupid” We spend most of our lives noticing, things. Things we can see. Things we can hold. Things we can measure, weigh, polish, stack, or admire. A mountain ridge at sunrise. The smooth curve of a shell. The warmth of a cup in our hands. Even the smallest grain of sand feels like something solid and definite. Our attention is naturally drawn to what is there. But every so often, a quiet realization appears that turns the thought upside down. Much of what surrounds us—and even much of what seems most solid—is built with what we casually call nothing. Not nothing in the sense of nonexistence. Not an absence of creation. But the astonishing “no-thingness” woven throughout the physical world itself. The space between things. A stone feels dense in the hand. Steel feels firm. Oak feels strong. Our own bodies feel solid enough to bruise, tire, and grow old. Yet beneath what our senses confidently report, the physical world is not packed into a solid block of uninterrupted substance. There is structure. There is order. There is design. But there is also room. Openings between particles. Intervals between structures. Space woven through matter like breath through music. What appears solid to us is, at deeper scales, beautifully arranged rather than tightly packed. Creation is not a crowded heap of substance pressed together. It is a carefully ordered framework with room built into it. That is part of what makes “nothing” so wonderful. We admire the stars and forget the darkness that surrounds them. We marvel at matter and overlook the quiet intervals that allow matter to exist in relation to other matter. We notice the notes and rarely the silence between them. Yet without that silence, music collapses into noise. Without spacing, writing becomes a blur. Without intervals, motion itself becomes impossible. Jehovah did not design a universe squeezed into a suffocating mass. He made one with breadth, distance, proportion, and balance. One where light travels, where structure forms, where systems interact in remarkable harmony. The object is wonderful. But the room given to the object is wonderful too. Even the Scriptures quietly acknowledge this surprising feature of creation. “He stretches out the northern sky over empty space, suspending the earth upon nothing.” — Job 26:7 That simple statement carries an astonishing thought. The earth itself exists in an expanse that appears empty. No pillars. No visible supports. Just the vast framework Jehovah created, where worlds can exist and move in perfect order. We tend to admire the furniture in a house while forgetting the rooms that make the house livable. Yet the room matters. The openness matters. The proportions matter. Creation is similar. It is not merely a collection of remarkable objects. It is the placement of those objects within a carefully ordered framework that allows them to exist, move, interact, and endure. Nothing, then, is not trivial. Nothing is wonderful. Wonderful because it reveals that Jehovah’s wisdom is not only seen in the things He created, but in the spaces He arranged between them. He does not merely fill the universe—He composes it. The more closely we look, the less empty “nothing” seems. It begins to feel deliberate. It begins to feel wise. It begins to feel like yet another quiet place where Jehovah’s mind has left its signature. © 2026 David Paull.

I wasn't talking about "blind faith", just a reasonable stretch of reports over the various sources of all different political bias and persuasion, and including a government investigation. So if all of them are saying it happened this way, it probably did. I do take everything with a pinch of salt, as they say, but I'm also not of the opinion that you can't believe anything, as most conspiracy theorists will say. But I'm not prepared to argue the point.

Um, no. Sorry. The fact that they agree with one another proves nothing to me. They have lied, obfuscated, and misled plenty of times. It’s been over 30 years since I trusted the MSM. That is my opinion, and everyone else is entitled to theirs, but in the end, that is all it is: an opinion. Not saying that they are incorrect on the current subject under discussion, but I just don’t have the blind faith in them that so many seem to have.

Maybe, one day, he will come across 2 Pet. 3:4.

By reputable I mean the mainstream media. I don't mean conspiracy theory sites. Of course nothing can be completely trusted in today's world, but if across the NYT, The Guardian, The Daily Mail, and the various other usual outlets, all are reporting the exact same thing, you can be reasonably sure it's correct.

Define “reputable.”

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/iran-school-attack-ai-investigation-b2937456.html Yes, it happened, and the blame is put on AI intelligence.

All the reputable sources in the media internationally are reporting the same thing.

While fake news is definitely a thing, is common, and most people are gullible enough to suck it in, the fact of the matter is that this is looking legit. An investigation is still currently being conducted, and people in positions of authority here (including the current head honcho) are open to the possibility that it was an error on the part of the USA.
