I'm all for dialogue, but to consider TW as "the leader of God’s church" is not helpful.

5 Things You Didn't Know About the Apollo Missions On December 11, 1972, man landed on the moon for the last time during the Apollo 17 mission. Here are 5 shocking facts that you probably didn't know about the Apollo missions... Duct Tape Was Used to Repair One of the Moon Buggies A crew member with Apollo 17 accidentally broke off a fender extension of the LRV Lunar Rover with a hammer. Although they tried to repair it with duct tape, which was necessary to keep out dust, after about an hour, the fender fell off again. They eventually used lunar maps, along with clamps, to construct a makeshift fender. The Apollo II Moon Landing Tape Is Missing The tapes of the Apollo 11 moon landing with astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, Jr and Michael Collins couldn’t be found in 2009 when NASA decided to restore them. Because of a shortage of the tapes used by NASA at the time, they were forced to reuse some of those stored in the archives. Low-quality audio versions of the astronaut's conversations are available, but the original videos are missing. You Can Thank NASA’s Apollo Program for Many New Convenience Items A number of household items were invented because they were needed on the space missions for the Apollo program. Probably the most commonly used invention is the portable vacuum cleaner (a.k.a. the Dustbuster) because NASA required a lightweight, cordless vacuum. Cordless tools such as cordless drills, grass shears and shrub trimmers also have a background with the Apollo missions. Both the mini cordless vacuum and motors for the cordless drill and other tools were developed using a computer program designed by Black & Decker. An Emmy Was Awarded to Apollo VII’s Crew Apollo 7 introduced superstars when astronauts Walter Cunningham, Wally Schirra and Donn Eisele broadcast for the first time on live television from their spacecraft. Nicknamed the “Wally, Walt and Donn Show,” they gave tours of Apollo 7 and showed how they prepared meals without gravity, as well as cracked jokes throughout. The broadcasts were so well received by the television audience that when the astronauts returned to Earth, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences gave them a special Emmy for their efforts. The Astronauts’ Spacesuits Were Designed by a Brassiere Company Playtex, the well-known bra and girdle manufacturer, is the company to thank for the astronauts’ snappy spacesuits. Neil Armstrong wore one in July 1969 when he took his walk on the moon and made his famous statement, “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” The spacesuit division for Playtex split from the company in 1967 and works under the name ILC Dover as a contractor for NASA.

We have learned from our study of the Bible that all God asks of us is trust. If we would only trust in Him enough, He could readily heal the damage sin has done. That is all He asked before the war began. That’s all He asks now of those who have been damaged and […] The post Conversations About God: Summary of Chapter Six, “Evaluating the Evidence” appeared first on Jon Paulien's Blog.

Many people in this country (USA) complain about the 1%. Reality is, if you live in this country, you are the "1%" (crunching the numbers may make it mathematically less, but we do live far more affluently than most of the rest of the world). More than half of the world lives on something like less than $20/month. So, reducing the money sent to GC is really hurting the work of the Gospel the world over. Consider the 60-40 rectangle where millions, if not billions, have not heard of Jesus. But who hasn't heard of Jesus in the USA and hasn't already turned Him down? Division X may have far less money, but there are many more Div Xs than wealthy divisions. Compare the NAD with all the rest of the world and who has the most money. Also, yeah, we need more money for evangelism, but if they were not frittering away money on rebellion and fighting the GC, there would be more money. The rebellion is getting more and more serious all the time.
