US secretly sent long-range missiles to Ukraine after months of resistance "Biden secretly approved the transfer of the long-range ATACMS missiles in February for use inside Ukrainian territory. The ATACMS missiles were then quietly included in the $300 million aid package announced on March 12 and ultimately delivered to Ukraine earlier this month" https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/24/politics/us-secretly-sent-long-range-missiles-to-ukraine/index.html Ukraine Attacks Russian Fields, Drives Oil Toward $100 "According to Russian sources, Ukrainian kamikaze drones hit several Russian oil facilities.

Now it takes several hours per day to keep it neat & trimmed ! 😓

Especially with hair growing down it!

Well, I wasn't the only one that said that ( some from the hall that were watching it ) and not to his face, if you're an elder and giving a talk especially on a close up on zoom you should be presentable don't you think, would it be "cruel" if the other elders had to councel him? We don't have rules but we do follow guidelines.

There was an older brother giving a talk on zoom last Sunday on our neighbor congregation, my wife was listening in as she usually watches both our meeting and our daughters meeting on zoom, he had a very uncouth, untrimmed beard with neck hair growing on his sagging neck, sad to say, but yes, keep it neat or shave it all off! 👴🏻 ( scissors please )

How do you know if they are "unhappy about it " are they openly voicing their opinion or giving sneering looks, I haven't seen that in our congregation, there are either nice comments on how the differen't beards look or how nice the sisters slacks look on those that look nice ( some I feel are wearing too tight fitting slacks, young brothers included ) as far as no ties, only a very few have chose not to wear a tie or jacket when not having a part, 2 elders approached me and commented on how my nice my beard and no tie look was. I am meticulous at keeping my short beard trimmed with little to no fly away hairs sticking out, in fact while sitting behind some brothers with beards I can't help but noticing their fly away hairs sticking out and want to bring my scissors to the meeting and snip them ( of course while they're not looking 😂 ) 🧔🏻‍♂️

Pranking a brother on my Ring doorbell that came over to sit in with an elder conducting a study with my older son, I don't know him and he's never met me. 🤣 https://ring.com/share/7f0edc36-abbb-45cf-afa7-5e20f14c32fc

“The institutions we have, have no teeth. And sometimes, even when they have teeth, like in the case of the Security Council, they have not much appetite to bite,” the Secretary-General said. 🦷🦷

On the Sunday before the holidays, a preacher was walking down a street on his way to see a parishioner. However, he wanted to post a parcel urgently so he asked a young boy where he could find the post office. When the boy had directed him, the preacher thanked him and said, ‘If you’ll come to the Church this evening, you can hear me telling everyone how to get to heaven.’ The boy replied, ‘I think I’ll give your sermon a miss. If you don’t even know your way to the post office, how will you lead me to heaven?’ 🤪 🤣

but, 2 buttons is the style ! I wouldn't dare unbutton #2 though ( my chest hairs would show ! 😎🤏😳

I didn't ask or look at the schedule.

An elder did the reading for our study last night on stage, didn't wear a tie ! A dress shirt unbuttoned at the top and a jacket. 🚫 👔

Probably eats sweet chocolate ! 😜

Jesus and Moses invite a buddy golfing. Moses tees off, drives the ball, and it goes right into a pond. Moses waves his staff over the waters and they part. He chips it from there onto the green. Birdy. Jesus goes next. He drives the ball and it lands on the pond, floating there. Jesus walks across the pond and chips it in. Eagle. The third guy goes. He drives it. A hawk snags the ball in mid-flight in an utter freak accident. He drops it onto the green and it lands inches from the hole. It looks like a simple tap-in when a sudden freak gust of wind blows the ball into the hole. Hole-in-one! Moses says, “Jesus, I hate playing your Dad.” ⛳️
