Random thought whilst drinking coffee and l said to myself that it wasn't really wrong but it's just so extremely out of touch with the world today. It's a reflection of so many gvtments unfortunately. Except for the Finnish gvtment lol.

You don't think it would have an impact on politics? It is true that many people get more conservative and set in their ways as they age - and that they often also lose touch with the younger generations.

    eye roll*, as always this just brings to mind the question "Why would an all powerful loving god have any reason to have suffering in the world, when you consider he can do anything and therefore could make a world in which we had all the good things, including the good things you say arise from the existence of bad things?" To be clear, he could make you have that same "inspiration" and "will" without having to have experienced a horrible tragedy, and done the same for any and every bad thing that has happened to you and everyone else, for all time. Edit: sorry about the eye roll bit, but it is just so irksome to see people rationalize bad things as proof of god, when it directly implies his absence.

    Try to empathize that she is incredibly comfortable during this free-domain; hopefully in the public-record interview that is in a Q&A fashion. Talking about the ideals of a man that loved his wife; but at the same time got as much snatch as one president could in his era. Who was sadly shot after a constant barrage of press coverage over his involvement with potentially dangerous groups . Documentation without constant pressure is a necessity for progress.

They had the best president in the world America, the eyes of the whole world were on them, there was magic in the air, optimism, and then it's all over, just like that. I don't know how the 60s didn't end right then and there, I suppose it just goes to show the real character of the Americans, they carry on, even when it looks like the end, they kept going and instead of the 60s being an awful time, they made it into one of the most memorable times in history. I suppose you can't stay upset forever.

    What stuck out to me is how accurate she is when it comes to God. Somewhere false teachers spread predestination in Christianity. As if JFK was meant to be shot that way. Or it was meant for the school bus full of 1st graders to go off the cliff and die horribly...She said GOD is allowing things to take thier course, because after all, and only temporarily "the whole world is lying in power of the wicked one." 1john 5:19- God is allowing Satan to prove the universal question he posed in the garden, can man direct his own step? Can we determine between right and wrong on our own? Jeremiah 10:23 answers that question perfectly. JW.ORG
