  1. This song makes it difficult to not be so angry at what they're doing to our brothers and sisters in Russia, because what they're really doing is separating families for no good reason.
  2. That's a shame. Hopefully a Morisson Amazon order will have things packed a bit better since it is coming from a supermarket that's used to packaging consumables. I wouldn't consider to buy food on Amazon, unless it's something like ingredient food, and then, there are other online shops I'd get a lot of things from first.
  3. Is this vanilla Amazon or a shop on Amazon. I'm about to make a big Morisson's order on Amazon, and I'm guessing it'll be delivered from the nearest Morisson's so I'm not sure if it's the same packing/delivery process.
  4. I'm surprised this wasn't mentioned yet, but what happened to the Roanoke colony? What did Croatoa mean? Did they end up being immersed into the tribe? Were most of them killed? Was was the Voynich manuscript about, and what language was it written in? Who made Stonehenge and why? And, more recently, what happened to the Dutch girls who went missing in Panama? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaths_of_Kris_Kremers_and_Lisanne_Froon
  5. Progressive far leftist ideology is 100% incompatible with Bible principles. Just because worldly media continually promotes certain ideas or virtues doesn't mean that those ideas are remotely true or that those virtues are remotely good. Have some of us forgotten who's' ruling this world?

  6. Ever since sex outside marriage has been normalized in the 60's and 70's, there's been a non-stop war in society against marriage. I mean, you watch TV shows from childhood on that portray people going on dates, and having sex after a few dates, and, sometimes, eventually, getting around to getting married at the end of the series. You end up shipping couples hoping Mr. X and Ms. Y get together by the next season, and you sometimes have to back up and ask yourself 'what does "getting together" actually entail?' Over the years, you can be easily conditioned to see a major sin that could be a criteria for destruction at Armageddon as simply no big deal. We try not to let it affect us, but, if you live in a muddy town, you can clean your car as much as you like, but, sometimes mud will end up in the car. Likewise, we can clean our minds and pray for holy spirit to protect us from the world's influence, but no one is 100% free from the world's influence. Of course the world's view on sex and morality is going to affect our brothers and sisters, and we're living in a time where the people who have been influential over the sexual revolution are saying the quiet parts out loud and the influence of sexual immorality has gotten worse: School curricula contain books and assignments that either expose children to sexual material or involves children in sexual conversations. Media for children features LGBTQ representation, in attempts to make "alternative" sexual mores normalized at a young age. Many magazines and journals, some targeted towards young adults try to normalize "open marriage" and even will present the idea that someone is a bigot or a prude if they don't approve of people engaging in polyamory. Activists are trying to normalize paedophilia, and, last of all, celebrities, influencers, pod-casters and even counsellors often recommend people to have affairs to spice up their love lives or to leave their spouses when "the glitter is gone". When you think on it, it's easy to think that simply cheating on your spouse and ending up in another monogamous relationship as a result or simply divorcing one's spouse might easily be viewed as not so bad, particularly in comparison to the things the world is doing and promoting.
  7. I don't like anchovies either. I also think that Hawaiian "pizza" with it's pineapple is a huge stretch for what can be properly considered pizza.
  8. that probably could work, especially if it's a thin crust made almost like a tortilla.
  9. I've made home made pizza, with a home made crust. I don't think lettuce belongs on pizza though. Seems like it would get really soggy and yucky in the oven. I like dried tomatoes, olives and mushrooms. I find those 'vegetables' (two fruits and a fungus really) go best with the tomato sauce. It's especially good if you find a recipe for olive garden style breadsticks and make a salad (which is where the lettuce belongs) with romaine, parmesan (or grana padano which is our favourite parmesan substitute as Ferb doesn't like parmesan) cherry tomatoes, bell pepper and a really good vinaigrette. Then you pair it with a really good sauvignon blanc rose. Sounds like the perfect dinner
  10. True. I suppose if we're living forever, taking 100 million years to go to another planet isn't a really long time. We'll have to wait and see, I suppose
  11. All we really know in the end is that Jehovah said "fill the earth". How full he actually wants the earth is anyone's guess. I don't think we'll be popping out a baby every 10 months, because, remember those babies, eventually grow up, with the potential of getting married and having babies, and, while this is a big planet, the earth only has so much room for humans...unless Jehovah wants us to terraform the solar system, but I highly doubt that he does.
  12. I met mine on here. However, I come from Louisiana, and something that seems like it should be an entirely bad aspect of Louisiana is that it's a very hurricane prone area, particularly New Orleans which is below sea level. Thus every few years there's a major storm that brings massive amounts of damage, and, subsequently loads of young brothers and sisters doing relief work. That's how a lot of people I know met their spouses. I know at least one who met her husband doing construction work at Bethel, as well as a few who met their spouse in a foreign language congregation, and some who met someone through friends of a friend, or at a wedding. None of that worked out for me, though, I struggled with finding a way to do relief work after hurricane Katrina hit, I didn't get a chance to do Bethel construction work, I only dabbled in foreign language groups, and I didn't fit in well in Louisiana, and didn't easily make a lot of friends.
  13. Yes, true, but some of us are imports from other countries. I'm actually American. A lot of my friends love my husband's accent and he's a Lancashire lad. I find the northern accent to a little different from the typical British accent that Americans equate with Classiness. I like it, though, because Northerners are very warm.
  14. I can't understand how anyone would want to be micro-managed. I don't think what you're mentioning is the same thing, exactly. I agree that we'll need to be more informed than we are currently when building things, and there might be detailed instructions. I imagine since there were aspects of worship in which the instructions were very detailed, such as the building of the tabernacle, and aspects for which it was left to the choice of the individual, such as with leaving vegetation for the poor to glean, the same will be true in the future. I do look forward to finding out what those things will be like in the new system.
  15. I mean, by then, we will have a government we can fully trust though, so I could very well be wrong from the beginning. On the other hand, Jehovah has never been prone to micromanaging.

How I Found the Truth

  • How I found the Truth
    My mom was disfellowshipped, and when I was 14, she decided to come back and was determined that I come with her. I was bored with it, at first, and thought the ideas were too pollyannish. But, when I started seeing more of the organization, such as being at assemblies, that's when I really woke up to how everyone in Jehovah's organization is so sincere and no one has anything to gain, so I started taking my studying more seriously.
