  California Out of Water Soon

  by Village Idiot in

  1. social
  2. current

  look closely at the figures below and see how much water california has left from its major source of water the sierra mountains:.

  my advice, not that any politician would take it, would be to eliminate most agriculture in the state.

  almonds, rice and alfalfa, are all thirsty water guzzling crops that neither those in california nor the rest of the nation needs.

  LisaRose, one of the saddest things was my seeing avocado trees destroyed. That's one of my favorite fruits. I too am doing some voluntary reduction even though the owner, for now, pays for the water. I'm afraid of the drinking water being gone from one day to the next. When that goes it will go fast.

  I've stockpiled about 40 days worth of drinking water, 20 if I cook with water. It's not really enough.

  truthseeker 100, corruption will only make things worse here. They too will run out of water.

Other vegetables, and California is the vegetable basket of the nation, could come from elsewhere if at all.

  As a resident of that state I don't like how this is shaping up.

  Any comments?

  The two key components of religion... If removed?

  by purrpurr in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm reading a very interesting book right now " why our children will be atheist ".

  i've just started the beginning of the book but it starts off with a history of how religion developed through the ages of mankind.. one of the points it make is that religion was invented for two reasons 1) to alay fears about death and the future 2) to create a bond between other people.. i found this thought to be very interesting and i wonder if the need for those two components were removed from mankind would religion disappear too?.

  Religion was invented as a way to understand the world as well as for the hope for immortality. It allows for social bonding but usually, in conservative religions, bonding with outsiders is looked down upon.

  JWdaughter,

  "Village Idiot-they don't care about the money. Its not THEIR personal wallet and they have lots more where that came from. Its not even that much money.They are all about "the principle of the thing". Or the lack of principles in their case."

  I believe Candace Conti asked for 25 million in damages. The accumulation of multiple lawsuits could easily be a 100 million and I believe the society is worth several 100 million so that would be a good chunk of their 'hard earned' money.

  "Make a list of people you want to meet in the New System!" (New September Watchtower)

  by FusionTheism in

  2. bible

  watchtower september 2015 study edition, "stand firm in the faith," paragraphs 16 and 17:.

  following jesus example, we must read the bible daily, study it, and meditate on what we learn.

  along with general bible study, dig into topics about which you may have questions.. you can imitate jesus by meditating on the wonderful promises jehovah has made to you.

  Flipper,

  "They just cannot accept defeat or being made to even appear as if they were negligent or in the wrong."

  I think it's just cold blooded calculations. Several hundred thousand dollars in attorney fees may save them several million in awarded damages.
