that's what i think too. it's bound to happen...they aren't making any more fossil fuel. even if we have to adapt to a more agricultural based economy for awhile (or permanently). it'll be a painful process. hopefully i'll be dead by the time things really go down the tubes (let my kids worry about it. it's the american way!)

In any event, whether more oil gets pumped, or we develop better technologies ... I am not going to hold my breath in fear of doom and gloom ...

nah, me neither. and i'm about as far from a 'conspiracy theorist' as you can get. i read this the same way that i read The Stand. even if this is what the future looks like, i'm just gonna pop some popcorn (over an open fire, i guess) and watch the fireworks.

it's kind of long. i was going to cut and paste bits and pieces but i couldn't figure out which parts to omit. it's worth the time to just read the whole thing.

WARNING-POTENTIAL DEPRESSION AHEAD!

this is without a doubt, the most depressing article i've ever read. yeah, i make a great saleman, huh? this is an article from Rolling Stone called The Long Emergency and it's about what may happen to human society as the oil runs out. jesus... i've never seen it described in quite such apocalyptic terms...i feel going and slashing my wrists now. it's pretty interesting (even if it is complete speculation. think 'MadMax with a rake and overalls'...)

Say Something Bad About The JW Organization----It's Good For You!

it's refreshing to know that we can say negative things about what we know is wrong about the society, governing body, local elders, the "brotherhood", in general------and not get censured or punished for it......i'll start.------- the organization is run more like the scribes and pharisees than jesus and his disciples.

christ reached out to everyone.

the scribes and pharisees treated everyone else like they were inferior, "worldly", not good enough.

min- call me a cowboy again and we'll see how tough i am... (windy city boy i am.)

but that don't mean I won't open a can of whoop-ass on the Borg whenever I have the chance.

amen, scary clown!

The evidence AGAINST evolution

by AlmostAtheist in

jw
friends

no, sorry, i won't be providing any.

this is a thread for those that have done some research and concluded that evolution is not how various species came to exist.. have you done the research?

do you believe that species exist as a result of god's direct creation?

what have they done?.

JamesThomas-

but perhaps it's time we washed ourselves of diminutive concepts of God, looked beyond our once cherished flaccid god of war,

i always enjoy the way you put things.

Don't Want to Live Forever?!... Is Satan Right???!!!

by Doubtfully Yours in

when jws preach, they get the most people because of the hope of living forever in a paradise-like earth.. when somebody is looking to leave, what's their first objection?

"jah is going to give you eternal life.

don't you want to live forever?".

doogie

Thats all the proof i need!

ok, dude. happy trails!

yes, facetious is my middle name.

satan told eve that in the day she eats of the fruit, she would come to be like god, knowing good and bad. she did. satan told the truth (actually, the bible doesn't state satan had anything to do with the garden of eden. it says 'serpent', but we'll assume the bible writer forgot to mention is was satan).

satan told eve that in the day she ate of the fruit, she would not die. she did not. satan told the truth.

the cause of sickness, death and suffering (according to the bible) was the sins of adam and eve. not satan. it was god who administered the punishment. not satan. the only individuals that satan killed in the bible were Job's family. with god's full permission. god killed countless humans. the god of the bible is a far worse monster than satan could've even dreamed of. IMHO, of course.
