  1. State-by-state view of gas prices as Iran war pushes oil markets higher Gas prices are rising across nearly every region, with some states already well above the national average. As of April 2, the national average for regular gasoline stood at $4.08 per gallon, according to AAA – up $1.09 from a month earlier. On the West Coast, drivers are seeing the highest costs, with prices reaching $5.89 per gallon in California and $5.36 in Washington. On the East Coast, gas prices are approaching or exceeding $4 in several areas, including $4.20 in Washington, D.C., and $4.01 in New York.

  2. Just a note: the US is not the 7th and last world power. It is the combination of the US & the UK as the Anglo-american DUAL world power. So, your post shows how the 2 combined make up that King - as a dual power. These 2 combined are not "losing".

  4. Don't we already know what President Trump was going to say? He's going to tell us that land invasion has begun and then he's going to lay out what that land invasion is going to accomplish. At least that's my guess.
  5. I had not ill thought about it. It is always good to make sure we follow directions and assist others to do the same. Also, I know you feel the same as I do - "love believes all things". We trust our brothers that we love. I feel the same about you - you just wanted to know the direction. I wish you the best my brother.
  6. There is a form S-126 that outlines the process. It does not mention calling up someone else for praying. That form follows the same process mentioned in the link: "How is the meeting conducted? At the Memorial gathering a brother who serves as the chairman gives a brief welcome and opens the meeting with a song and a prayer. This is followed by the Memorial talk ..." It leads you to the idea that the chairman gives the prayer, but it doesn't say he MUST. It seems there could be room for a body of elders to make that determination. It is just one more shuffle up to the lectern at a time when we have a lot of guests - keeping things simple is usually desired. I would trust the elders made a good decision and have good reasons if they change it up a bit. I hope you enjoy your memorial and that everything runs smoothly. Having been behind the scenes in coordinating dozens - it is a lot of work and moving parts. It all looks pretty seamless when you are there but know the brothers and sisters spent a consider amount of time getting things together so it looks that way. In our congregation we have a lot of young ones - they did a big get-together this weekend with them to have fun making the bread. Keep us all in your prayers that these go smoothly all around the world! For many decades I have pictured the memorial as a huge tidal wave of praise to Jehovah and His son that goes all the way around the planet. It starts in some remote island on one side of the international date line and splashes down just a small distance away on a nearby island.
  7. It would be unusual, but there isn't a stipulation against it. IS there a reason that the chairman can't offer the prayer? Or would it be better to have the one the elders want offering the opening pray be the chairman?
  8. I didn't realize how long it takes to get marines in place ... Thousands of Marines to Arrive in Centcom the Same Day as Trump’s Iran Deadline https://share.google/12wLSJzIcXkOHhrLl It will still take a few days once near there to be in position - so, Monday or Tuesday of next week. This thing is definitely going into extra innings.
  9. For some they see the clouds of a global destruction while for others - men are marrying and women are being given in marriage and life is going on. I imagine this is exactly what Jesus meant the time would be like just before Jehovah puts it into the nations hearts to attack all of false religion. We won't see it coming and there won't be some event more than any other that says "this is almost it". It will just be "this is it". And we'll know it as all nations will give enough authority to the UN and it will attack ALL of these religions. It is going to be sudden and right on Jehovah's timetable - whenever that is. We trust the timing will be perfect and he'll help us endure until then.
  10. That's a pretty long telegraph - telling people what you have going - 2 to 3 weeks before they arrive. It's already 3 or 4 more days before 31st arrives.
  11. I'm just thinking out loud here... Let's say they do- what does that look like? What do they do? Bomb the US to try to get them to stop? I just can't figure out what they could do even if they wanted to. Do you have any ideas?
  12. Today @ Costco 5.899 a gallon. It just keeps going up.
  13. And I am going to Glenn's house and helping him eat chocolate - as he will have too much and I want to help him be balanced. You know - like when my wife says she ate the last cookie to save me from the calories ... I am just going there to help Me leaving his home after eating all that chocolate -> Seriously, I have a feeling anything I say now would be completely changed by the events that are soon to be upon us!! I'd like to think that the first thing I will do (after saying THANK YOU!!! to our amazing God for being there) is raid my nearest Costco, 7-eleven / whatever for all the Mountain Dew I can stash. Once it is gone ... it will gone forever.
