  while mike pence the vice president-elect is a hardcore conservative christian with a history of anti-lgbt-related controversies, mike pence the software developer appears to be the exact opposite.

  he described himself to nymag as a “liberal, atheist, ex-jehovah’s witness computer programmer,” and “not a bigoted shill for the republican party.”.

  meet mike pence’s namesake: ‘other’ mike pence has no love lost for vp-elect.

  If he looks anything like The Trump's VP then perhaps we should kill him and replace him with the Liberal Pence.

  Check out my website on this issue at: https://globalwarmingeducationfoundation.wordpress.com/

  As for colder weather being disproof of global warming take a good look at the temperatures on Goddard Institute maps in the last winter month:

  
  

  GISS temperature anomaly map for February of 2015. Temperature bar is in degrees Celsius.
  

  Less than 2% of the Earth's surface was colder than average. Also check out the intensity of the warmest color at the lower bar at 15.5 degrees Fahrenheit above normal (8.6 Celsius). Global warming is concentrated in the Arctic regions.

  People tend to think that what happens in their backyards must be happening all over.

  I'm confused though. Are both of the parents gay? Or are they bi who happen to have custody of the child? If the parents are bi why don't they have a t-shirt with a gal or guy holding, with both hands, a girl and a boy?

  Enquiring minds would like to know.

  hi guys.. "brother" jose is quite possibly the most sinister speaker i've ever seen or heard.

  and i've seen/head a lot of cults in my time.. he's over the top with his voice tone and gestures.

  i see a future governing body member in the making here:.

  His eyes express the gestures of suppressed anger which I presume is directed at us "apostates". He'd be a nasty and worthy opponent to any of us in a confrontation since he is both knowledgeable and eloquent.

  By applying the scripture on Psalm 73 against feeling envy for the "wicked" it was amusing to think that she was having a nice conversation with her "wicked" workmate. That would be a perfect sound bite (16:30) to use in making it obvious that JWs consider the rest of humanity "wicked".

  Sanctimonious, "WE'RE Thankful EVERY day."

  thanksgiving is really just a nice, traditional, family-oriented day set aside on a national level.

  no babylon the great.

  give me a break with the holier than thou, "we don't celebrate thanksgiving.

  The JW mentality is that if the world does it then they won't.

  Tepidpoultry,
  

  Could you send it to the Australian Royal Commission? Thanks.
  

  I did e-mail the ARC to inform them about the book. They responded to thank me.

  Slimboyfat,
  

  I wouldn't sell for less than $100 but that's just me.
  

  Yeap, but it will take me a while to fetch that price. If I don't sell it here I'll go to Amazon asking that price.

  never a jw,

  I will print my digital copy (100%legal) in 2 sided and sell it for $45.00
  

  Good old fashioned books are more desirable than a sheaf of papers with a Kinko's butterfly clip.

  It has a slight, not too noticeable, crease on the front cover (Don’t you love paperbacks?). It is a fourth edition copy with some corrections neatly taped on the last page by the author.

  First person to respond gets it. PM me if you have any questions.

  i live in california where pot just became legal for recreational use very similar to alcohol.

  my wife who is a very active jw has had her medical card for cannabis for a couple of years now.

  and i know several in our congregations around our area who are using it medically.

  Actually marijuana is not yet sold recreationally in California since a 1 year moratorium on selling it to the public has been imposed. This length of time has been rationalized by saying it gives time to figure out how to tell if a driver is intoxicated by marijuana. Testing for traces of marijuana should appear to be straightforward, like testing for alcohol, but it is complicated by the fact that it could take days or even weeks for the inactive chemical tested for to clear your system even though you're no longer under the influence after a few hours (It is the metabolite, not the active ingredients, that stays in your system).

  This moratorium is unjustified since other states have not imposed any of their own and no ill effects have occurred. Also, under the law, local jurisdictions can impose their own laws negating the cultivation or use of marijuana.
