SecretSlaveClass, having two children per household is not going to reduce our population. Having one child will. Resources will continue to be depleted at the same present rate with two children per couple.
What is needed, as I previously mentioned, is a complete restructuring of our civilization and that won't happen unless the current one collapses.
this topic was already discussed in the following thread: .
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/451530001/we-need-more-money-letter-sent-mexico-re-jw-broadcasting-may-2015.
if you don't want to go through the whole thing; basically it is about a letter that was sent by mexico's branch requiring the body of elders to modify the service meeting for this week (september 21) and the following (september 28) in order to watch (again) stephen lett's solicitation for money (may's broadcasting).. so, why a new thread?
It's either this
or this
does anyone have a current link to download the "aid to bible understanding"?.
thanks plenty.. fernando.
Don't know if it works but you can try this: http://www.search-document.com/pdf/1/1/aid-to-bible-understanding.html
Let me know if it downloads.
i'm wondering why ones on this forum initially became jw's.
if you were born in, why did you make it "your own"?
if you became one later, what was your draw and driving force?

"Vegetarian diets have positively ruined some peoples health. I will cite a few vocal opponents to the lifestyle and their reasoning, i need to pull the references, but its the "doing it right" thats so difficult."
A good multi-vitamin like Twin Labs Mega 6 and B-100 complex - not the junk you get at the supermarket - should round off a good diet. Vitamin B-12 in particular has to be supplemented to a non-animal diet.

"Village Idiot, the documentary thankfully backs up the statements with facts. Have a read:
"http://www.cowspiracy.com/facts/"
Interesting, I'll need some time to trace the citations back to their primary sources.
One thing that struck me though, at the 1 minute mark on the first video on your link, Will Tuttle says that human beings and their animals presently make up 98% of the biomass. He doesn't make it clear that he's talking about animals only. When you include biomass you have to take plants and animals combined. The houses that we live in, mostly made from wood, have more biomass in them than we do.
I don't deny that water usage is exorbitant though. Especially in California where I live. 80% of all water consumed there is for agriculture with water intensive plants like alfalfa which is shipped to China for cattle feed.
Also, the first point titled "Animal agriculture is responsible for 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, more than the combined exhaust from all transportation." makes it clear that animal husbandry emits only one fifth of what everything else does.
What I advocate is an 80% reduction in fossil fuel usage of automobiles, electricity and other uses. Without reducing animal consumption at all that savings would account for 34.4+% of our current usage. Not as much as I'd like but it would be major progress.
I believe in permaculture (In the context of a different civilization replacing ours - a million ecovillages). As for meat, I would like to see the growing of laboratory meat in full scale production. That would take far less resources than what we're using now. We could have that within 20 years.

marmot, I don't have the figures to back it up but as a person who believes in man made climate change I disagree with the idea that a quarter pound of beef contributes more greenhouse gases than a morning commute (say half an hour).
The most they contribute are trace amounts of methane through their farting which is probably as much as human flatulence.

"Hi ! Thank you ! Hm, I'm not christened but I follow this religion. I study since 1 years. Yes because I don't really understand this term so I want to know a little more! Are you one of them ?"
Yes I am and so are almost everyone here. Feel free to talk to us even though your religion tells you to stay away from apostates. You'll learn a lot about the Witnesses here.

Hi Mandy. Welcome to the forum.
How long have you been a Jehovah's Witness? Is it all right with you to talk to apostates? Many people on this website are.
it's been years since i've prayed and the last one i prayed to was the god known as jehovah.
just wondering.
