  What's the real reason behing these MAN presses?

  by truthseeker in

  2. friends

  anyone know why the society spent $50,000,000 of world wide work money to buy even bigger and better presses?

  i asked an elder, and he said, first of all to cut down on manpower, secondly there's more demand.

  is there really more demand?

  ah fleaman i meant no disrespect.. i meant standard stuff in asmuch as the article and the mans testimony had no surprises. i find it remarkable that at 99 he is able to go and tell his story. and yes keeping faith all these years is due respect i'd rather be like him than be floundering trying to find something to have faith in again!.

  the main reason i posted it is the comments at the bottom from people. . i enjoyed the diversity of the educational levels of the ones posting about the story.

  Smuggler blames debt over drugs By Christine Caulfield
  October 9, 2004
  

  A JOURNALIST with a heroin addiction said he smuggled 1.4kg of cocaine into Australia to settle a debt with his dealers.
  
  Royal Turanga Eria Abbott, 51, a New Zealand citizen, had been abusing drugs for more than 30 years in a bid to rebel against his strict Jehovah's Witness upbringing, the County Court heard.

  His addiction worsened in 1993 after a serious car crash killed a close friend, and spiralled out of control when an eight-year relationship ended last year.

  The Australian Associated Press reporter pleaded guilty to importing cocaine with a street value of up to $800,000.

  He has been behind bars on remand since April 19, when he arrived at Melbourne airport from South Africa and was nabbed by Customs

  The court heard he had concealed the drugs in a back brace under his clothes, after picking it up from a contact named "Johnny" at Johannesburg airport.

  He initially told police he had been instructed to act as a courier to pay off a $4700 debt he owed a Vietnamese dealer, who had been feeding his $1000a-week heroin habit.

  The court was told he agreed to help federal agents arrest the dealer, but tipped off his alleged accomplice in a late-night telephone call, saying "I'm in the cell. They're trying to get the f--ing people."

  Abbott later admitted he was the mastermind and planned to sell the cocaine for $150,000.

  He said he owed $20,000 to Johnny, a dangerous international dealer with connections to Columbian drug lords.

  "I owed a lot more than I thought," Abbott said.

  "It was very complicated and it was a real mess. He had somebody come and visit me sometimes and threaten me."

  Defence lawyer Rob Stary said Abbott had been experimenting with drugs since he was 18 in defiance of his parents' religious beliefs and strict moral standards.

  Despite abusing all manner of opiates, tranquillisers, stimulants and hallucinogens, he had functioned in the community and had been well-respected in his profession until his addiction got the better of him.

  Abbott was now voluntarily undergoing drug treatment in custody.

  Judge Joe Gullaci remanded Abbott in custody for sentencing next week.

  (thats some long term rebellion!)

  the article is standard stuff. but the comments from the public are more interesting.

  Leopold Engleitner of Austria speaks in quiet German, but the story he tells speaks volumes. At 99, he has watched history unfold, and is one of the oldest living Holocaust survivors; he lived through three concentration camps.

  Last night, Engleitner shared his story at Barnard as part of an ongoing series of public forums on the concept of non-violence, organized by Professor Dennis Dalton.

  Engleitner, a Jehovah's Witness, spoke through fellow survivor and translator Robert Wagemann.

  As a Jehovah's Witness, his story is unique, because, unlike other Holocaust victims, Jehovah's Witnesses were offered the chance to gain their freedom by signing a document denouncing their faith and recognizing the supreme authority of the Nazi regime.

  that is bad.. but a good one lmao..

  reminds me of my older bro and his cohorts during the meetings.. sister bigthighs would get up and go to the restroom and her panty hosed clad thighs would rub together chhhchhhchhh noise.. .. my bro and the boys (12 -14) would rub their palms together to make the same kind of noise making everyone think her legs were THAT LOUD.. me and my younger bro knew what they were doing but never tattled. although once i grew up and got fat i felt bad (and WILL NEVER wear pantyhose!)rofl
