Fair point about the ja not being as extreme, and I take your point about lack of interest, if house leaders have all those gadgets, that's where some of the money goes then., or some of it.

I think a lot of the non community members will fizzle out, and that's beginning to happen, and businesses are failing.

My concern was haines or someone else in leadeship doing it, sort of killing people or having a last stand before authority goes in.

Maybe only 5 to 15 real hardliners, that's what I was thinking.

Anyone else got any thoughts?
