i get a chuckle when i watch that show on tuesday nights as it portrays what would happen the the world, if people should all dissapear.
since jw's are only 2/10% of the world's population and almost zero% in many countries the infrastructure would rapidly decay.
No, they can't, but, boy, will the windows be clean! Woooo!
What windows? Who's making the glass??
assuming the governments would pass a law requiring everyone to have a microchip i.d.
implant with gps tracking capabilities, storing your personal and financial data but also record all your movements.. would you be for or against it?.
personally i don't have a problem with it but i'm just wondering , what would be the drawbacks for the normal, law abiding citizen?.
I often wonder whether any government really needs to "implant" any chip in anyone.
With so many things already with chips in them, credit cards, bank cards, passports, soon here in UK ID cards, etc.
Also CCTV watching everyone these days, systems being developed that will be able to pick out an individual from a crowd.
Just by scanning peoples faces.
I recall about a year ago a program on TV showing a surveilance expert being to listen to peoples mobile phone calls,
even with right software on a laptop to turn a persons phone on and listen to what was being said.
Also if you use WI-FI for your laptop or desktop computer how sitting outside your home he could pick up what you are doing on your computer.
Just with a name and date of Birth he could find out a person, bank statements, medical records etc.
So if he a non-Government person can find such things how much more can government agencies.
As to implanting chips , we have enough fuss kicked up here in the UK with the government wanting us to have ID cards.
who should we depend on for our scriptural knowledge?.
my online dictionary defines this word depend, as follows; in part:.
depend [d?'p?nd].
Yourself.
there are a large number of very smart people here.
a vast array of intelligences has a power and scope quite out of the ordinary.. ask a question you've always wanted to know (not necessarily religious in nature; just in general) from trivia to personal inquiry......let it out now.
somebody will know the answer!

scientists on alert after hundreds of earthquakes daily rattle yellowstone national park.
over the course of the past two weeks, more than one-hundred mostly small earthquakes per day, on average, have shaken up a remote area of yellowstone national park in wyoming.
This is certainly a more realistic threat than Armageddon. The geological record shows that the Yellowstone caldera has erupted approximately every 600,000 years. Guess how long ago the last eruption was? Yes, 600,000 years ago. Ruh-Row, Scooby Doo!
Having watched a few programs on National Geographic and Discovery on this subject. I have heard the various "scientists" say that the "last eruption" was anywhere between 125,000 to 750,000 years ago. So either we have another 475,000 years to go or its overdue and could blow any day now.
Either way, there ain't nothing we can do about it.
I'll just put it on the list with :
"global warming"
The Earth being hit by an asterioid
Swine Flu Epidemic
Bird Flu EpidemicOh and Armageddon of course.
a few months ago there was a thread about a couple of elders at the mill hill bethel being disfellowshipped because they disagreed with some wt doctrine (i can't recall exactly what it was) and that several other betheliteswere under 'investigation'.
i haven't heard anything since, does anyone know anything more about this?.

This is now a matter of law in the UK and includes all volunteers
The church I attend anyone who helps in the Sunday school with children, and children means anyone under 16.
Has to be be checked out by the authorities and cleared.The volunteers every three years , but the Pastor and the assistant Pastors every year.
It would be interesting to see how this is applied to Elders, Min Servants etc.
i received this crap from my jw mom today.
i hope it doesn't "encourage" you to go back .
you see, when i left, i immediately felt the relief of not being burned all the time by all of the gossip that occurs within the congregations, circuits, etc.
I've heard and read that illustration from different sources, it was used by a Pentecostal Pastor in our church about 6 months ago.
I have heard it on the radio during "Thought for the day" told by a Rabbi.
Its one of those that verybody uses.
We've been through several disasters here in Florida, and the JWs have helped everybody, not only their own. Having said that, yes, they do concentrate and start out helping other JWs affected by the problem, but many others do receive the help as well.
One must understand the resources are limited and the Watchtower does the best they can. Also, at this time of need, the brothers and sisters won't just sit there, they'll start helping themselves and others as well.
The WTBS has received many praises as having one of the most organized ways to help the needy. I've been on both sides, giving help and receiving help, and I'll tell you, it's wonderful.
I recall a few years ago a poster on JWD told how in had been having study with JWs.
A hurricane hit Florida, and the JWs of his congregation decided to get together and go and help, think they were in a state close by.
This guy thought "Great, Christian faith in action." and he went along with them.
When they got to the area they had been designated, by Bethel, the FIRST thing they did was repair the Kingdom Hall.
Then they set about repairing homes of JWS, which I don't t hink was very many.
After they had finished the guy said "We can now help the other people in the area."
The JWs said, "No we only help OUR brothers and sisters."
The guy was shocked and told them in that case they cannot be true Christians as scripture says they should help all who needed it.
But the JWs packed up and left.
The guy stayed and helped others to repair homes.
Also resources are limited because the WT expects JWs going to help, to provide all that is needed.
We never hear of Bethel loading those big trucks up with food, medical supplies, clothes etc
The attitude is as one JW told me "They are going to die at Armageddon anyway, so why help."
