  A fascinating invention is being tested here in our little village.

  by Gregor in

  2. current

  it is a beautifully simple machine that produces electricity from moving water.. we live on the columbia river 3 miles above the huge bonneville dam hydro-electric installation.. we have an abandoned lock that was built about one hundred years ago to lift river traffic around the rapids formed thousands of years ago when the naturally formed bridge of the gods collapsed.

  the river now flows through it next to thunder island.. recently, an experimental device called the "eco-auger" was lowered into the locks current to begin tests of the beta model.

  it is about the size of a small school bus.

  i had sort of one of those lightbulb moments myself, Im glad you found such an interesting twist on reasoning.

  it does take little bits of info here and there to get one to think more logically, and the problem is we deny our error because its troubling to us.

  I always felt that If God is perfect, and all powerful, and there is no sin in him and no error then it is inpossible for him to create something or someone that would have the possibility to become inperfect, like satan, evil in it self would have to exsist to be passed on to a creation.

  we can only create things that are equaly in perfection to ourselves. there fore God has to have had some knowlege of bad, in order for it to manifest itself in one of his creations.

  yea i get like that, lol ypur right God is not going to allow improper information to be dispensed which would result in damage to humans ,this would make HIM bloodgulty!

  then i read this,someplace,

  the bible states that the appointment over all the belongings is made after jesus arrives, matthew24:46,47

  the master has not yet arrived , as the memorial is to cease upon his arrival 1st cor 11 vs 26

  since the memorial is still being celebrated, apparently he hasnt come .

  i see he never answered him.

  vs 46 there is funny, how can you assign someone a place with unbelievers , when your cut them into peices?

  there must be more than one master, vs 46 says that master of that servant.

  add these too.

  from jwfacts info

  the appointment over all the belongings is made AFTER THE MASTER ARRIVES

  MATT 24 46-47

  the master has not arrived, the memorial is to cease after his arrival, so the master has not been appointed over the belongings

  1st cor 11 vs 26

  still doing memorial.....

  so we have all heard some of the wacky comments gb members have said recently in talks etc..... i reckon that tshirts with the following slogans would be funny!

  "i like tight pants and i can not lie!

  " (inspired by "i like big buts and i can not lie....").

  by Sour Grapes in

  out of three hours only two things really caught my attention.

  i was surprised there was no special annoucements or more new light.

  the first thing is that we know that the org is having a difficult time having young males reach out to be a ministerial servents to carry microphones and adjust the height of the podium.

  hi guys, ive finally got a copy of coc from my local library, im on page 120ish and im really enjoying it!

  the thing that gets me now that im enlightened is how little the rank and file know about anything this organazation does!

  everything is so secretive and covered up behind a curtain.

  how long will it take for the r&f to realise what this letter means?

  by purrpurr in

  2. scandals

  most of them at the hall will be half asleep as usual.

  and the letter is worded very cleverly it just barely skims and hints at what's to come with the halls being sold off.

  how many in the halls will realise what it means?

  wow, i just realized something, It seems like the big boys are jumping ship. sell off property invest someplace else?, getting out before they get sunk.

  the only ones left will be the older in deep ones, the die hard believers, as the youger ones will stray, and the kingdom will be divided against itself.

  I dont think we can truly Love an idea, which actually God sort of is.

  because we are a physical being we need a physical being to love. In my opinion, we need actual contact , its what bonds feelings. Like wise, I can say that I would have a hard time saying 'I love my sister', If I never met her, spoke to her, or seen her, just knew of her.

  So, If she died, I might be sad, but not distraut or devestated, as I do not have an emotional attachment to someone Ive never met.

  I can say I dont think I ever loved God the same way I love my children.

  the idea may have been that I did those things to show That I loved God.

  or was it the idea of being special?
