    And another thing Abbagail,

    The Illuminati, the Masons, the Jews, or Jehovah God himself are not behind the economic problems facing the world. It is GREED that is bringing about the financial woes that we are now facing and will soon face.

    I saw the greed several years ago and took steps to protect myself. I didn't have need to belive in conspiracies and magical hogwash to get my affairs in order.

    I have read every conspiracy out there, I've watched the videos too. I am not impressed with any of it and I refuse to be frightened by it.

    You, on the other hand, reek of fear. You are floating in a sea of it. I suggest you see a doctor to help you with your overly sensitive ruffled feathers.

    I suggest you start by reading/researching Jewish authors/activists who have also researched these things and who are very aware of how all "regular" Jewish people are being set up for disaster, along with the rest of us Gentiles, minorities, Christians, elderly, handicapped, mentally ill, etc. (Anybody they deem unfit and unworthy is on their "global hit list," so to speak). And how these same bold, brave Jewish people are not sitting around whining like children, the way you are, but are helping to expose the culprits and educate their fellow Jewish brethren and everybody else about what is going on.
    Excuse me Abbagail, but if you are so damn observant, why did you address me as Rod?

    Are JWs always left with these scars of the response programming.....avoiding the issue by focusing on a non-issue like a typo?

    I think it's called straining at a gnat to swallow a fly or something like that.

    Divert attention from the matter at hand by focusing on something trivial.

    I have noticed JWs do this a lot.

    Do you think this type of programming leaves its scars? How can Jws correct these thought processes?

    And there you go, getting distracted and avoiding the issues. As I stated, the reason it matters is because if she can't be trusted with the small details, why should I trust her to notice the bigger ones?

    But, by all means, ignore the rest of my message to Abbagail, focus on the minutia, and think whatever you want because you're a couple apples short of a pie yourself.

    I am very interested in those brownies. If he makes a space cake version, I have several boxes of WT books I would be willing to barter for them.

    This story presents an interesting point. The money system was sold on convenience, rather than value or efficiency. One using money has a store of trade value that is widely recognized and can be redeemed in a wide variety of transactions. That is convenient, since not everyone wants brownies. The convenience comes at a cost. The transaction value is set by the money issuer, and in many places that money has a monopoly of a government or private central bank. The issuer then has the ability to control value, and extract value from the transaction in a hidden form. Pure barter bypasses that control. I know that the IRS has leaned heavily on barter clubs so as to maintain some of the control that the money system permits.

    "Excuse me Abbagail, but if you are so damn observant, why did you address me as Rod? The avatar is RoBdar. Notice the B and then the D: RoBdar."


    Oh my goodness, I can't believe you are having a hissy fit about the spelling of your name!!!!

    Who cares about a typo?

    What is a Ro-B-dar anyway?

    If a little "D and B dyslexia" is a crime punishable by insults, feel free. Sticks and stones... which are a "soft" reviling compared to the hard-rock stones the Apostle Paul received. So I'm pleased to be in good company.

    "way to attract new converts abbagail. being a jerk. smooth."


    New converts to what? To JWD? To Christ? To the Watchtower religion?


    Evidently you don't appreciate truth either. You will find LOTS of company around here then. The "broad and spacious road" comes to mind.

    It really doesn't matter how many people do not like the message... and you can try to zap the messenger(s) all you want, but it doesn't change what is true. And it won't stop people who know and care about these things from continuing to speak out on these subjects, myself included. Those who have ears to listen will. Those who don't, won't.

    Ehhh, cam, I don't think it's JW programming necessarily. I think it's called "human nature."

    Truth hurts, as they say.

    But thanks anyway... you were up next for the wrecking ball... ;-)

    Since this got posted below where I thought, I see your wrecking ball is ABOVE, not below.

    You are two-thirds correct (is that "detailed" enough for you?)

    Correct = God the Father, no, he's not causing it.

    Correct = Greed, most definitely.

    Ultra Greed by the elite, Illuminati, Masons, bad-guy-Jews, et al, yes. If that's not obvious,oh well.

    "conspiracies and magical hogwash"


    You say you've already done your homework. Then you must have read THEIR OWN literature, THEIR own plans, THEIR OWN documents, goals, outlines of what they have planned. They are the ones who believe in "magical mystical hogwash" based on the ancient "Mystery" religions of Egypt and Babylon.

    As for conspiracies...the Word of God speaks of conspiracies, conspirator(s) over a dozen times, so it's not some far-fetched idea.

    "...I refuse to be frightened by it. You, on the other hand, reek of fear. You are floating in a sea of it. I suggest you see a doctor to help you with your overly sensitive ruffled feathers."


    You are now making me chuckle. I could say you are not being very original to have to borrow my "overly sensitive ruffled feathers" comment.

    So I am dyslexic and you are not very original.

    Even Steven.

    -------------------------

    But the important thing you seem to think is fear.

    It is not fearful at all to know and understand reality. It might only be fearful to anyone who doesn't understand what is happening or why, and/or where it is taking the world in the future.

    So what might have been fearful or "frightening" to you was and is a blessed Welcoming Trumpet sound to those of us who are in Christ and have the Blessed Hope. -- 1st Thess. 4:14-18; Titus 2:13.

    Peace Ro-B-Dar!

    Is it OK if I type with hyphens? It helps my dyslexia.
