The Earth rotates on its axis once each day. Because the circumference of the Earth at the equator is 24,901.55 miles, a spot on the equator rotates at approximately 1,037.5646 miles per hour. Not only that, but the earth is orbiting the sun at the speed of almost 67,000 mph! We know it's gravity that keeps us from being flung off into space, but why don't we feel the spinning? Because the entire solar system is traveling at about 144 miles per second in its orbit around the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. That is a VERY fast speed. So why don’t we feel this motion? The reason is that the speeds are constant. As people, we, the atmosphere, and Earth’s oceans are all spinning at the same speed. Think of traveling in a car. You don’t feel much motion when you’re driving at a fast speed down a smooth highway. But when you hit the brakes, you feel the speed change. This is why we do not feel the Earth’s motions through the universe.

Common misuse of words due to, I think, shortening or abbreviating so many words, especially among younger English-speaking people or perhaps people who speak English as a second language? For example: Invitation is a noun, "I received an invitation" is correct grammar Invite is a verb, "I received an invite" is incorrect grammar Consultation is a noun, "I had a consultation with my doctor" is correct grammar Consult is a verb, "I had a consult with my doctor is incorrect grammar

It's the final judgment for everyone judged as "goats" at that time, which according to Jesus' will be the majority of mankind. "For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be. and they took no note until the Flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be. Keep on the watch, therefore, because you do not know on what day your Lord is coming." “Go in through the narrow gate, because broad is the gate and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are going in through it; whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are finding it." "All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from another, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.  And he will put the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left. Then he will say to those on his left: ‘Go away from me, you who have been cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the Devil and his angels. These will depart into everlasting cutting-off, but the righteous ones into everlasting life.”

Actually, he's saying it's either 6:25 or 6:24.

Rights or Duties --- Which? "What is the position of true Christians who have turned around from following this world’s course and who exercise faith in the ransom sacrifice of Christ? The Bible says to them: “You do not belong to yourselves, for you were bought with a price. By all means, glorify God in the body of you people.” (1 Cor. 6:19, 20) Hence, there is very little ground for these people to talk about rights to God, because he owns them by the blood of his Son. They have a duty. That duty is: “By all means, glorify God.” We can glorify God by being peaceable, by being content, by being patient even if our rights are stepped on by someone else. We are glorifying God when we carry out our duties, not demanding what we conceive to be our personal rights, and not causing grief or upset to others in asserting such “rights.”—Prov. 11:2." "Christians, therefore, should not think, just because a certain practice is common in the world, that they may insist on such as being their right in the face of the Christian congregation and its mature thinking. Why should a Christian try to bring the world’s spirit, or the things that represent it, such as extreme styles of dress, extreme music and so-called modern practices, into his life when he is part of the congregation? In fact, why should he try to bring these things into the congregation of God?" --- w73 3/1 p. 137-138

I think it's ostentatious: "attracting or seeking to attract attention, admiration, or envy often by gaudiness or obviousness : overly elaborate or conspicuous : characterized by, fond of, or evincing ostentation." We know the world is given to extremes and likes to engage in outdoing one another with a "showy display of one's means of life." The common motto is, "If you have it, flaunt it." I'm not sure if the word modesty exists in their vocabulary or if they understand what it means, if it does!

Fast talking, fast walking, fast driving, impatient young people who only think of themselves without consideration for anybody else. I guess it's a generational thing. Oh! and did I mention, they tend to be loud with no idea what an indoor voice is?

I not only remember them, I still have them; vinyl records, cassettes and CD's. My car only has apple play and android audio besides FM radio, but I subscribe to XM satellite radio and listen to that almost exclusively, since I hate commercials!
